Restaurante Baviera en Alicante

14/04/2024: We really only wanted coffee and something sweet which happens us a few hours after hotel breakfasts. I was looking into cafe windows at the various savoury and sweet goodies on offer but since we arrived here I can’t find any place that sells pavlovas or meringues. I do like them with cream and fruit. Anyway we just liked the look of the offerings at this place as we headed by to the coffee bar at the top floor of El Corte Inglès (bit of a posh chain store throughout Spain usually worth finding as they sell everything from 80 inch TV’s, eight thousand euro bottles of cognac, doughnuts [€1.8] to Beluga caviar) but there was a queue so we decided to reverse go back whence we came and give this place a try. Glad we did. We got the best large cappuccino and large cafe con leche not just on this trip but in a long time. The young chap making it took his time and the result was coffee perfection. So for our sweet treat hit we had 3 tasty, crunchy, mini palmiers (sold as a 3 deal: plain, dark chocolate and white chocolate) and a choux pastry dusted in icing sugar and including coffees for under £7. The coffees alone for the two £5. The staff were real friendly and spoke enough English, the seating was comfy. The toilets were super clean and properly maintained and no WiFi. My guess, we’ll be back today, tomorrow and the next day.
