Calle Pablo Iglesias0.2 mi from Alicante centrelast reviewed September 2026

Go for the tostadas and the sense that everyone already knows each other here; the coffee is a footnote to the ritual, not the reason for it.

Alicante's tostadas draw the crowd here more reliably than the coffee does.

What we love

  • Regulars greeted by name by the owners, day after day
  • Tostadas are the reason people keep coming back, not the coffee
  • Jazz on the stereo and a lived-in neighbourhood feel

Bakalar★★★ Purist

A roastery where the owner, regarded as one of the best baristas in Spain, walks you through a personal tasting, coffee by coffee, flavour by flavour.

Madness Specialty Coffee★★★ Purist

Single-origin lots that rotate through the year, pulled as espresso or slowed down through a Chemex, with reviewers reaching for actual tasting notes instead of just calling it good coffee.

MO Specialty Coffee★★ Specialty

Order the V60 and pick from a genuine spread of origins, poured by a barista who's visibly locked into the process. It's the kind of counter reviewers keep calling specialty without being asked.
