Cafés open late in Alicante
Most specialty cafés in Alicante close by mid-afternoon. A small handful stay open into the evening — coffee bars that double as wine bars after 6pm, neighbourhood spots that serve a steady stream of locals after dinner, and the late roasteries that fire up the espresso machine until 9 or 10pm. Roasters lists every one. Alicante is one of 144 cities with an “Open late” guide on Roasters.

Evening coffee in Alicante skews specialty in two ways: serious espresso bars that pour shots into the night, and hybrid coffee/wine rooms where the same team that dials in the morning espresso pours natural wines after work. Both work for a long sit or a quick second cup.
