At SportActive we know a thing or two about Mallorca's top coffee spots that are specifically tailored to the needs of road cyclists. So let’s take a deep dive at where you’re likely to be refuelling next time you ride with SportActive.

Climb to the summit of Coll de sa Batalla and you’ll be greeted by the welcoming site of Call de Sa Bataia. It is the perfect place to stop and refuel as from here you can climb the famous Sa Calobra or Puig Major the most reachable point on the island.

The café offers a good range of cuisine and coffee, and its location couldn’t be more perfect for an epic cycling adventure to two of the most iconic locations Mallorca has to offer.

Ca’n Topa, Coll de Sóller

It is not unusual to find places of exquisite charm in Mallorca especially when you get into the more rural areas. A good example of this is the converted old farmhouse which is the Ca’n Topa café. Serving pizza, traditional Spanish food, and great coffee, it is the perfect place to refuel after ascending Coll de Sóller.

What makes this stop more appealing is that it is part of the Puig Major loop and many other popular Mallorca cycling routes.

Bar Deportiu, Fornalutx

The quaint village of Fornalutx which you may encounter on an alternative route to the summit of Puig Major is a great example of the many beautiful locations Mallorca offers. The traditional buildings are nestled among lush green vegetation and olive trees.

As it is just off the Ma-10 it is also home to several cafes that are ideal if you want a refuelling point before heading off on another epic cycling adventure.
