AIRES CAFÉ-café de especialidad★★ Specialty

A takeaway counter in El Cabanyal pouring beans from Valencian and Barcelona roasters, with a barista who pulls a flat white strong and keeps the milk to your ratio. Go when you want a proper flat white on the move.

TALLAT Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

A Cabanyal roastery where the espresso and the pour-over come from the same beans sold by the bag, poured by a barista who can talk you through them.

Doux-Amer Cabañal★★ Specialty

A brunch-led kitchen in El Cabanyal that treats the coffee as seriously as the food, with named single origins and tasting notes on the menu, a batch brew filter, and a limited coffee that changes monthly. The founder trained as a barista at an SCA-endorsed school, and it shows in the cup.
