Málaga's morning starts at Casa Aranda, the alley of tables by Atarazanas where churros and thick chocolate have been the city's cheapest great breakfast for generations. The specialty wave began with Bertani Café in 2012 and has since spread through Kima Coffee's in-house roastery on Calle Carretería, Syra's Barcelona-roasted espresso and Next Level's rotating single-origin filters off the Alameda. Soho is the roasting quarter: Santa Coffee's competition baristas pull Scandinavian light roasts a few streets from Santa Roaster, the workshop that supplies them.
