Top Gluten-Free Cafés and Bakeries in Malaga
El Pastelero Real
Address: C. Babel, 5, Cruz de Humilladero
We absolutely loved this place — it’s truly a paradise for celiacs looking for delicious, handcrafted treats. Although it’s a bit off the main tourist path, it’s well worth the detour just to try their incredible churros and cakes.
As you know, we usually avoid refined sugar, but this time we made an exception to fully enjoy their selection of breads, pastries, and of course, their gluten-free churros — and we have zero regrets!
That said, apologies to the locals for not trying the famous pitufos, but we promise we’ll be back.
On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and the value for money is outstanding — making this spot a must-visit for any gluten-free traveler in Malaga.
Reviv Café
Address: C. Fajardo, 4, Distrito Centro, 29005 Málaga
As we mentioned earlier, we didn’t get the chance to try the famous Malaga-style breakfast — but we couldn’t miss this charming café.
Located in the heart of Malaga, it features a cozy terrace on a pedestrian street — perfect for enjoying a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
Here you’ll find healthy options, refreshing smoothies, and a delicious selection of gluten-free sweets.
It’s the perfect spot for a light breakfast or an energy-boosting snack.
We also discovered their incredible gluten-free cookie dough — an irresistible treat that won us over so completely, we didn’t stop until we figured out how to recreate it at home. Don’t leave without trying it!
Heladería Yummy
Address: C. Molina Lario, 6, Distrito Centro, 29015 Málaga
Do you know Marilyn Monroe’s iconic film The Seven Year Itch? Well, for us, temptation was waiting right outside the door of our apartment in central Malaga.
This 100% gluten-free ice cream shop offers an amazing variety of natural flavors, along with lactose-free and vegan options.
It’s the perfect place to cool off after a day of exploring Malaga. With so many tempting options on display, choosing just one flavor feels like mission impossible.
