El Molí Pan y Café - Playa San Juan

El Molí Pan y Café is the Alicante bakery-café chain, and this branch on Avenida Historiador Vicente Ramos serves the newer Pau 5 side of Playa de San Juan. It's an easy stop for a coffee and something fresh from the oven on your way to the beach or the shops. The focus is bread and pastries made with natural ingredients, plus a long list of coffees. If you're after more than a croissant, there are sandwiches, bocadillos and small pizzas, and their Cookinitos cookie bites are an easy treat for kids. It's the sort of place locals use for a quick breakfast or a mid-morning break rather than a long brunch. Most of El Molí's shops are around Alicante, with a few more in Barcelona, Cartagena and Cantabria, so expect consistent, no-fuss quality rather than anything quirky. They also do catering trays and coffee-break platters if you're organising something.
