Where to sit, sip and slow down in Palma.
Coffee shops, bakeries with seats and the places Palma lingers in over a cortado.
Mistral Coffee House pours the roastery's own beans on Plaça de Weyler in Palma, with a sunny terrace facing the Modernista front of the Gran Hotel.
Signature drink: Filter coffee from Mistral's own roast
Tip: The terrace catches morning sun. Doors close at 16:30, so this is not an evening room.
Mistral Coffee Banc is the roaster's second Palma counter, a small standing room on Carrer del Banc two minutes' walk from the Passeig del Born.
Signature drink: Espresso from Mistral's Mallorca roast
Tip: Standing room mostly, and it shuts at 16:00 on weekdays. Come for the coffee, not to linger.
La Molienda Bisbe has roasted its own coffee in Palma since 2013, with a corner terrace on Carrer del Bisbe Campins under a flame tree and a fountain.
Signature drink: Filter coffee from the house Palma roast
Tip: Order a llonguet with the coffee. It is the Mallorcan roll, and they do a proper one.
La Molienda Arxiduc is the second Palma coffee room of the island's specialty roaster, serving house coffee, daily lunch plates and homemade cakes.
