We’re excited to announce the launch of our latest venture, Blanca Café, right in the heart of Calpe’s old town. Opening this winter, Blanca Café is more than just a coffee spot—it’s a vibrant community hub where cyclists and coffee lovers can gather, refuel, and share their passion for cycling. With Blanca Café, we’re bringing everything we love about cycling and specialty coffee to one central location, designed to meet the needs of both local residents and visitors who come to explore this beautiful part of Spain.
Many of you will already know us from our existing locations. At Blanca Bikes, we’re proud of what we’ve built in Parcent with our Blanca Bikes Base Camp, which has become a favourite for cyclists near and far. Our Base Camp isn’t just a bike hire centre; it’s a complete experience with a coffee shop, bike hire service, a cycle workshop, our very own coffee roastery, and even a shop where cyclists can gear up for their adventures. We’ve also established a boutique hotel and bike hire service in the old town of Javea, giving visiting cyclists a welcoming place to stay and easy access to our high-quality Cervelo bikes.
But now, we’re expanding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Blanca Café to Calpe. This new location will offer everything we’re known for—excellent bike services and outstanding coffee—in an even bigger and better space. Blanca Café will be a go-to destination for cyclists, coffee aficionados, and anyone who loves the atmosphere of a vibrant community café.
Nestled in the charming old town of Calpe on Carrer Blasco Ibáñez, just minutes away from the major hotels, including Gran Hotel Sol y Mar, Blanca Café will offer a unique mix of cycling services, Calpe Cervelo Bike Hire and delicious food and drink. We’ve invested nearly half a million euros into this project because we believe in what we’re creating. The café spans 290 square metres of beautifully designed space, giving you plenty of room to enjoy a fantastic coffee or tuck into a fresh meal while you plan your next ride. Whether you’re a cyclist living in the area, a visitor here on holiday, or a local resident, we’ve built this café to serve as your home away from home.
At Blanca Café, we’re not just another coffee shop—we’re going to set a new standard for specialty coffee in Calpe. We’ll be serving our in-house roasted, ethically sourced single-origin coffee, prepared by our expert baristas who share our passion for the perfect cup. Whether you want a quick espresso to kickstart your day or a smooth, Brazilian flat white to savour, our coffee menu will offer something for every palate. And if you’re hungry, our fresh food menu will be available all day, featuring everything from eggs Florentine to healthy salads and hearty sandwiches. This is the kind of food that fuels you up for the day ahead, perfect for both cyclists and casual visitors.
Of course, Blanca Café is not just about coffee and food—it’s a full-service cycling hub. One of the key features of Blanca Café is its role as a Bike Rental Pick Up centre in Calpe. Now, booking your bike hire is easier than ever. Simply reserve your Cervelo online, and then stroll down to the café in the morning to pick it up before heading out on your cycling adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just looking to experience the beautiful routes around Calpe for the first time, we’ve got you covered. But that’s just the start. We’re not just renting bikes—we’re selling them too! Our team is always on hand to help you find the perfect Cervelo bike, whether you’re upgrading your current ride or trying out something new. And because we know that cycling requires more than just the right bike, Blanca Café will also stock all the accessories you could need, from helmets and gloves to cycling jerseys and puncture kits. If you ever run into any mechanical issues during your ride, we’ve got that covered too. Our expert bike technicians will be available to handle repairs and get you back on the road in no time. At Blanca Café, we’re committed to keeping your cycling experience smooth and stress-free.
Blanca Café isn’t just for the serious cyclists—it’s a space for everyone. We want this café to become a central hub for the cycling community in Calpe. Whether you’re a local rider or visiting from abroad, Blanca Café will be the perfect place to connect with like-minded people. You can come in, grab a coffee, talk routes with fellow cyclists, or simply relax after a long ride. The sense of community is at the heart of what we’re building. We also offer much more than just bike hire and repairs. Blanca Café is your one-stop-shop for everything related to cycling. Looking to book a cycling holiday in the future? We can help with that. Need a cycling guide to explore the best routes Calpe has to offer? We’ve got you covered. From booking accommodation to arranging guided rides and stocking up on essentials, we’ve made sure Blanca Café has everything you need to make your cycling experience unforgettable.
We believe that Blanca Café will do more than just serve the cycling community—it will also help boost the local economy in Calpe. By attracting more cyclists and tourists to the area, we aim to increase foot traffic for nearby businesses, from restaurants and shops to local hotels. Our central location makes us easily accessible, and we hope that Blanca Café becomes a must-visit stop for anyone exploring the town
The opening of our bike hire service on 1st December will be the first stage of our launch, and we’re already taking bookings for bike rentals in December 2024. Whether you’re planning a short ride around town or a longer cycling holiday in the region, we’re here to make it easy for you. As soon as our doors open, we’ll be ready to welcome you with great coffee, fresh food, and all the cycling support you could need.
As December approaches, we’re putting the finishing touches on Blanca Café to ensure that it’s everything you expect and more. We’ve put our heart and soul into creating a space that combines our love of cycling with our passion for specialty coffee, and we can’t wait for you to experience it. Blanca Café will be more than just another stop on your ride—it will be the highlight of your day. Imagine waking up, booking your bike hire online, picking up your Cervelo in the morning, and starting your day with a Brazilian flat white and some eggs Florentine. Then, after a day of cycling, you can come back, relax with a freshly brewed coffee, and chat with fellow cyclists about the day’s adventure.
We’re counting down the days until we can welcome you to Blanca Café, where cycling meets great coffee, delicious food, and a sense of community. Get ready to experience the best of Calpe’s cycling scene with us, and let’s make every ride an adventure
