Price according to Google

Le Carac in Cala Millor is a brunch café with its own patisserie attached, and that order is the right one: the display counter here is not a sideline, it is half the reason to come. Jerry and Cassie, both from French-speaking Switzerland, have run the place on Avinguda del Bon Temps as a pair since 2020.

The concept is unfussy and fairly consistent: pastelería and cafetería in one, with a card that covers two directions at once between breakfast and early afternoon. If you want to start savoury, there are salty pancakes, toasts and bowls. If you came for cake, there is cake. Coffee is not an afterthought here but treated as speciality coffee.

The fact that two people run this without a large team shows in one rather likeable way: things do sell out. Fresh means genuinely fresh in this shop, and what is gone is gone.

The Counter at Le Carac

Cassie is a trained pastry chef, and that is the difference between a cake shelf and what stands here. Fruit tarts, carrot cake, cheesecake, brownies, banana bread and chocolate éclairs belong to the fixed repertoire, alongside cookies, filled croissants and loaf cakes. Croissants come fresh out of the oven, and the almond croissant is one of the house classics.

Custom cakes are a chapter of their own. Cassie builds character cakes with figures and applied pictures, birthday cakes that are an order rather than counter stock. If you want one, raise it in advance: this is handwork, not a daily item.

Pancakes, Bowls and Savoury Brunch

The pancakes are what most people come back for, and they run in both directions, sweet and salty, with salmon or with ham and cheese. Next to them sits a toast section with avocado, hummus or burrata, plus bowls from the protein bowl to the smoothie bowl, and breakfast platters with fried egg.

Vegetarian is not a special case here but built in throughout, and vegan stays more than a fallback. To drink: cappuccino, vanilla latte, cold coffee specialities for warm days, frappés, smoothies and iced matcha. Much of it travels too, since Le Carac hands out food and drinks to take away.

Jerry and Cassie

Two people, one shop, no kitchen brigade. The two came from the Romandie to Mallorca and turned a small place on Bon Temps into one of the better-known breakfast addresses on the east coast. The tone follows from that: personal, without service choreography, and you are served by the same faces that do the baking.

In high season the room fills quickly, mornings especially. If you want a seat for certain, book ahead. Inside is good in winter, and there are a few tables outside in the sun.

Around Cala Millor

Cala Millor sits on the east coast, belongs to the municipality of Son Servera and is known above all for its long sandy beach and its unbroken promenade. Avinguda del Bon Temps runs a couple of streets back from the water, in the northern part of town, where things quieten down towards Cala Bona.

That makes the café a practical first stop: breakfast, then down to the beach, or the other way round with a coffee in a cup to carry onto the promenade. If you want to go further, the Punta de n'Amer headland lies to the south and the fishing harbour of Cala Bona to the north.

Frequently asked questions about Le Carac - Brunch, Coffee & Cake

What is Le Carac in Cala Millor known for?

For brunch and for its own patisserie. The card covers sweet and salty pancakes, toasts with avocado, hummus or burrata, bowls and breakfast platters. Running alongside is a counter of homemade cakes, fruit tarts, brownies, banana bread and chocolate éclairs. Coffee is treated as speciality coffee, not as an accompaniment.

Should you book a table at Le Carac in advance?

In high season that is the wiser option, especially for breakfast. The place is small and run by two people, so the tables fill up quickly. Outside the busiest stretches you will usually get in spontaneously.

Are there vegetarian and vegan dishes?

Vegetarian is planned in across the whole card, from the toasts through the bowls to the pancakes. You will find vegan options too that go beyond a fallback. If you have a specific intolerance it is best to ask directly, since everything is produced fresh each day.

Who is behind Le Carac?

Jerry and Cassie, both from French-speaking Switzerland. They run the café as a pair, without a large team. Cassie is a trained pastry chef, and that shapes the counter far more strongly than is usual in a breakfast place.

Can you order cakes in advance at Le Carac?

Cassie builds character cakes to order, with figures and applied pictures, for birthdays among other occasions. This is handwork rather than counter stock, so raise such a wish in good time. Ordinary cakes and breakfast can also be taken away.

Where exactly is Le Carac in Cala Millor?

On Avinguda del Bon Temps in the northern part of town, a couple of streets back from the beach promenade. From there it is a short walk down to the sand, and the harbour of Cala Bona adjoins to the north. Cala Millor itself belongs to the municipality of Son Servera on the east coast.
