Takeout
Small, stylish Aussie-leaning brunch cafe with standout coffee and crafted toasties; great for quality brunch, but expect waits, tight seating, and above-average prices.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Palma delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout dishes like the pastrami Reuben and creative toasties, paired with specialty coffee that draws devoted followers. Service remains friendly and proactive despite peak-time friction, while thoughtful design creates genuine warmth. The grade reflects solid execution across dimensions, though occasional consistency dips in drinks and persistent wait-time friction prevent the higher tier—this is a neighborhood gem worth seeking out, not yet a destination that transcends its constraints.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked into Palma old town, this cafe feels warm and bustling with polished wood, a compact room, and a bar for solo sips. Guests rave that the coffee is "best of the trip," and staff are often praised as friendly and welcoming, though peak times bring queues and a waitlist. When it flows, service charms; when it jams, a few diners felt overlooked. The cooking leans modern brunch with thoughtful ingredients: a stacked Reuben on sourdough, sambal-kissed tuna melt, and brioche French toast with ricotta and berries. It is not flashy, more crafted-comfort with specialty coffee at the center. Prices sit above basic cafes, but many feel flavor and quality justify the spend; expect lighter open-face toasts versus heavy plates. Families will find kid-comfort picks like bacon and egg sandwiches, French toast, and simple granola. Space is tight and high chairs are not mentioned, so strollers may be awkward at rush. Portions on some toasts can be modest for big appetites—consider a sandwich or add-ons for growing kids.
