La Molienda roasts its own coffee in Pollença, tracing every single origin back to farm, varietal and altitude, and pours the same beans at the bar and into bags to take home.

A paddle-surf and activities hub in Portopetro that also takes its coffee seriously, with a dedicated filter menu running V60 through single origins and an espresso built around its own distinct profile, worth a stop before or after the water.

Breakfast and pastries in Pollença come with coffee from the café's own roastery, Chaff Coffee Roasters, roasted fresh every week.

A Sóller brunch spot where the espresso, not the food, is what stops visiting coffee regulars mid-sentence.

A concept store in Valldemossa hiding a dialed-in La Marzocco Linea Mini, where a self-described picky drinker found real acidity and chocolate notes instead of flat espresso.

A one-person counter in Deià open just four hours a week, Wednesday mornings only, where whoever's on the machine walks you through the coffee rather than just pouring it. Worth timing a Deià morning around.

The pizza is the reason to come to this Palma Nova spot, but the coffee holds its own if you're ordering by the slice.

In a stretch of Palma Nova short on decent coffee, this hotel-lobby cafe stands out for one reason: a barista whose skill and hospitality reviewers keep singling out by name.

Down a back alley in Alcúdia, this bakery-café pours the flat white locals call the best coffee in town, with cappuccino and lattes just as reliably praised.

A bakery cafe on the Port de Sóller waterfront, thick with the local cycling crowd, where the espresso is pulled on a proper San Remo machine and holds its own against the food and the view.

In a stretch of Mallorca built for one week and gone, KOPI is the café people choose to return to every day of their stay. It's the rare Palma Nova address where holidaymakers volunteer the word specialty on their own, not because anyone asked.

Stop in for the owner's own hunt for tea and coffee you won't find elsewhere in town, and let him recommend something instead of ordering on autopilot.

Esporles' breakfast spot, where the espresso is good enough that people call it out by name instead of lumping it in with the food.

In Palma Nova, this is the stop for a properly pulled espresso or a latte macchiato, poured fast by baristas who clearly know what they're doing.
