If you think healthy snacking means boring, we insist: you haven’t been out enough in Málaga. Because if you know where to look, you’ll find it all here—from an açaí bowl to gourmet vegan tapas without breaking a sweat. And since we at Bun and Coffee are big fans of great coffee and guilt-free snacks, here’s our list of favorites for tasty, natural, and varied treats. Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory… and hey, that rhymes without us planning it!
1. Mimo Vegan
Right in the heart of Málaga’s SoHo, Mimo Vegan has won the hearts of those seeking vegan cuisine that breaks the mold. Here, they craft creative vegan tapas that are a festival of flavor, color, and texture. From baos stuffed with Heura to salads with plant-based “tuna,” everything is homemade, gluten-free, and free of artificial additives. Perfect for those who believe a snack can be a full culinary experience. Order a tapa and a natural iced tea—you won’t regret it.
📍 Calle Vendeja, 29, 29001 Málaga
2. Keyzen
Keyzen has two locations in Málaga, both with a relaxed vibe designed for unhurried enjoyment. Their cuisine follows a healthy and mindful approach, with a menu based on quality ingredients: fruit bowls, gluten-free pancakes, vegan cakes, and organic coffee. If you’re into late brunch as a snack, you’ll love this place. There are options for everyone (vegans, celiacs, fitness enthusiasts, and food lovers alike), and everything tastes so good you won’t even think about it being “healthy.”
📍 Calle San Juan de Letrán, 9, 29012 Málaga 📍 Calle Pacífico, 44, 29004 Málaga
3. Amazonia Açaí
Amazonia feels like a getaway to Brazil without leaving Calle Mármoles. Their specialty is açaí bowls, packed with fruit, homemade granola, seeds, and natural toppings. They’re 100% vegan, gluten-free, and have no added sugars. They also offer filled tapiocas, smoothies, and pancakes that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the soul. The açaí bowls are perfect for those hot days when all you want is to dive into the freezer.
📍 Calle Mármoles, 6, 29007 Málaga
4. Sabor con Encanto
In this cozy corner of the historic center (Plaza Enrique García-Herrera), everything is made with care (and charm, of course). They offer everything from natural yogurt with fruit to homemade gluten- and lactose-free cakes. They also serve free-range eggs, sourdough toasts, and natural smoothies. Perfect if you want a slow snack, to sit back and enjoy simple, honest, and tasty food. Like home, but with friendly waitstaff.
📍 Plaza Enrique García-Herrera, 15, 29005 Málaga
5. Naked & Sated
This spot on Alameda Principal is a dream for those who want tasty snacks without breaking their diet. The menu is full of “healthy” dishes that taste heavenly: from quinoa crepes to raw cakes, plus smoothies so beautiful they could star in a Pixar movie. Everything is gluten-free, free of refined sugar, and made with real ingredients. For celiacs, this place is especially welcoming: the entire menu is gluten-free, so you can order whatever you want without worry. Here, sweet cravings aren’t a sin—they’re well-understood pleasure.
📍 Alameda Principal, 18, 29005 Málaga
6. Astrid Tapería Orgánica
Astrid is a hidden gem in the Plaza Camas area. Their 100% organic kitchen prides itself on avoiding frying, processed foods, and microwaves. But don’t get it wrong: flavor takes center stage here. For a snack, you can find cold-pressed juices, natural teas, coffees with plant-based milk, and wholegrain sweets made with spelt or oat flours. They also offer organic breads, seasonal fruits, and gluten-free options.
📍 Plaza de Camas, 5, 29005 Málaga
7. Bibra Real Food
Bibra is right in the heart of Teatinos and a favorite spot for many students and workers who want to avoid the usual fast food. Everything here is fresh, tasty, and made to order. Poke bowls, salads, wraps, ramen, and thoughtfully crafted vegetarian and vegan options that rival any traditional dish. They offer gluten-free versions, natural juices, and complete snacks that leave you happy and light. Oh! And the atmosphere is one of those that makes you stay an extra hour without noticing.
📍 Calle Andrómeda, 6, 29010 Málaga
Bonus: Bun and Coffee — the coffee as it should be
We’re on this list too because… well, we work hard at it. At Bun and Coffee, we take coffee seriously—the real deal, specialty coffee—and we believe a good snack starts with a perfectly pulled espresso or a plant-based milk cappuccino with no weird surprises. But we also love sweets: our vegan cookies, artisan donuts, and all our specialty drinks are made without additives, gluten-free (the cookies), and with lots of love. Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be a punishment—here you can enjoy higher-quality sweets, with fewer calories than the usual ones, and that actually feel good. And we prove it every day.
📍 Calle Duque de la Victoria 11, 29015 Málaga
Sweets That Are Also Cool
If you’re more into sweet snacks than bowls or toasts, Málaga has surprises for you. In many of these spots (Mimo, Amazonia, Bun and Coffee, Keyzen), healthy baking is in full swing: gluten-free cookies, donuts without refined sugar, flourless brownies, and vegan cakes with nut bases. All delicious, homemade, and made with care.
Whether you’re celiac, lactose intolerant, or simply looking for more natural options, there are alternatives that don’t make you give up anything. Forget the myths: healthy can also be a pleasure.
So now you know: next time you crave a snack, swap that processed pack for a stroll to one of these spots. And if you stop by Bun and Coffee, you know the drill—we’ll be waiting with hot coffee and a cookie sure to brighten your afternoon.
