One of the most enriching experiences you can immerse yourself in if you find yourself on the Costa del Sol is the possibility of discovering and enjoying welcoming spaces full of charm and inspiration among its narrow streets.
Below you will find 5 cafes in Malaga where students can study and/or relax while enjoying a good cup of coffee.
The Last Monkey Juice & Coffee
A small but charming cafe where you can relax and do all those pending tasks.
It is located in an alley as you come from La Malagueta, and is ideal for young people studying at the UMA El Ejido Campus who want to have a good time.
Their fresh juices and coffees are homemade, giving them a unique and distinctive flavor—there's nothing like the ones back home! You can enjoy whatever you fancy while doing homework, studying, or working in a modern, urban setting.
Recyclo BikeCafe
One of the most eye-catching cafes in Malaga! You'll never find Recyclo empty; its location right in the city center, just a 5-minute walk from the Resa Malaga Centro University Residence , ensures it's always bustling with joy and energy.
This place has a very original decor that stands out from the homogenous style of most cafes. What other bar has bicycles hanging from the ceiling? The decor is a constant source of inspiration. It also has tables both inside and outside with comfortable chairs, so you can choose between a more relaxed or a busier atmosphere.
It is not only interesting for the variety of dishes it offers but also for its very reasonable prices, its opening hours, which are all day until midnight, and its Wi-Fi access.
It's worth noting that they offer a 10% discount for those who arrive by bike. I wouldn't miss it!
The Gale, in Pedregalejo
Popular for its famous ocean views and healthy menu, it's located in Pedregalejo , a popular student area.
One of the best things about this cafe is that you can find super healthy food if you prefer to watch what you eat, as they have huge salads and vegetable sandwiches.
It's an ideal place to work and study with sea views while enjoying a good breakfast, whether in summer or winter, so that when you finish you can have some well-deserved snacks.
Q Pro Quo Bookstore Café
If you love to read, this is the place for you! You'll love it!
Café Q Pro Quo is a small, homey coffee shop right next to the Law School and the General Library, so it's conveniently located for you when entering or leaving class.
It is perfect for students of the Teatinos Campus and Teatinos Extension.
Although in it you can talk, work and have a drink while relaxing, surrounded by books, with a very particular decoration.
It usually has a great atmosphere thanks to its excellent location, but also thanks to the service they offer and the very reasonable prices of their drinks and food.
The Xior Teatinos Residence is just 8 minutes from the café.
Santa Coffee What do you fancy?
Santa Coffee was formerly known as Santa Canela. It has two locations, one in the city center and the other in Soho, a neighborhood known for its diverse cultures and central location.
Although it's a small café, it feels much more inviting. There, you can enjoy and try different foods—there's something for everyone! If you're craving something sweet, you can try their cakes and a mocha made with coffee, chocolate, and cream; if you prefer something savory, then you'll enjoy their sandwiches and juices.
Furthermore, it's famous for producing its coffee by hand, making it its own brand. They offer different types, depending primarily on the intensity of the bean.
