Surge Café de Especialidad

The espresso bar at Surge with a La Marzocco machine, grinders, and a pastry case beneath a wood-shelved back wall

Surge sits near the Guadalmedina riverbed a few streets back from the Atarazanas market, close enough to the water that regulars describe the spot as having a quiet, tucked away feel despite being minutes from the Alameda Principal. The hand brew bar usually runs two bean options at a time, recent pours have included a Kenyan lot, alongside a full espresso menu and oat milk as the default alternative.

The kitchen keeps to a short list built around avocado toast, chipa, and a carrot cake worth ordering on its own. Staff are attentive and quick to talk through the beans on offer, and the small outdoor seating area along Panaderos fills up fast on weekend mornings.
