Best specialty coffee shops in Benidorm

When you think of Benidorm, the first images that come to mind are skyscrapers, packed beaches, and peak-season hustle. Specialty coffee rarely makes the cut. Yet, it’s right there, tucked away from the noise—in small, indie shops that roast their own beans and pour a flat white with the exact same precision others reserve for a secret family recipe.

We’ve crawled the city cup by cup to narrow it down to six. This isn’t a generic "top-rated on Google" list; it’s a curated selection of verified spots where you’re guaranteed a genuinely great brew.

SugarPop Bakehouse — The Sweet Spot Downtown
Right in the heart of town, SugarPop has made a name for itself with artisanal cookies and cheesecakes, but their specialty coffee (and matcha) holds its ground beautifully. It’s the perfect spot when you want a serious sweet treat without compromising on a decent cup. You come for the cookies, but you stay for the coffee.

El Café de Axel — Micro-Roaster in the Heart of Benidorm
If there’s one name that constantly comes up among local coffee heads, this is it. El Café de Axel roasts its own beans right in the city center, and that dedication shows in every single pour. To top it off, they’ve paired up with Miri Cheesecake. It’s the kind of combination that guarantees a return visit.

Good Day Café — Colombian Roots & Proper Brunch
Good Day goes big on single-origin Colombian coffee and pairs it with a stellar brunch menu. It’s the ideal spot for a slow morning that turns into a full plan: excellent coffee, great food, and plenty of natural light to start your day right.

Helados Sirvent — The Beachside Grab-and-Go
Here’s the plot twist. Helados Sirvent makes the best artisanal ice cream in the area, but they also serve specialty takeaway coffee roasted by El Café de Axel. Translation: you can grab a top-tier brew and take it straight to Levante Beach. Specialty coffee and ice cream just steps from the sand—hard to beat in the summer.

Easy Coffee — Laptop & Latte: The Perfect Match
Easy Coffee solves a notoriously difficult equation: where to work on your laptop without having to suffer through mediocre coffee. Expect well-pulled shots, artisanal pastries, and an atmosphere designed for staying a while. If you're looking for a temporary remote office in Benidorm with a great breakfast in front of you, this is your spot.

Madness Coffee — Beachfront Views & A Local Staple
Madness is a household name in Benidorm’s coffee scene. They boast their own roastery, a prime beachfront location, and a massive terrace that makes perfect sense now that the summer heat is hitting. Quality meets location—which is exactly why it has earned its reputation as the city's go-to spot.
