Specialty coffee in Málaga, at a glance

A few years ago Málaga’s specialty coffee meant a handful of cafés in the historic centre. Today there are independent cafés and roasters along the whole Costa del Sol. This guide lists 50 of them in 9 towns, from Estepona to Nerja along the coast and inland in Ronda.

Each listing gives you what you need before you go: opening hours, whether it’s open now, the address and directions. It also says what the place is good for, such as brunch, filter coffee, a terrace or a few hours with a laptop.

We check each listing against the café’s own website and social pages and against Google Maps, and every listing shows when it was last checked. Listings are free. No café pays to be included or to rank higher, and if we ever show a paid placement, it will be labelled as advertising.
