Calpe Cycling Centre and Blanca Café – Coming Soon to Calpe from Blanca Bikes

We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of our newest venture, Blanca Café, right here in the beautiful old town of Calpe. Set to open in December, Blanca Café is more than just a café—it’s a vibrant cycling hub designed for both locals and visitors. We’ve poured our passion for cycling, coffee, and community into this exciting new space, creating a place where cyclists can gather, refuel, and share their love for the sport.

With Blanca Café, we’re bringing the same level of care and dedication you’ve come to expect from us at Blanca Bikes. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or simply visiting Calpe for the first time, our new café and cycling centre will be your go-to destination for bike hire, repairs, high-quality coffee, and delicious food.

A New Home for Cyclists in Calpe

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, this 290-square-metre space is designed to cater to the growing cycling community, providing all the essential services cyclists need, plus a fantastic place to enjoy specialty coffee and fresh food. Our goal with Blanca Café is to make your cycling experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Whether you’re picking up your Cervelo Calpe hire bike in the morning, grabbing a freshly brewed Brazilian flat white, or stopping by after your ride for a well-earned meal, we’ve got you covered. This café is built to be more than a quick stop—it’s a place where you can relax, connect with fellow cyclists, and fuel up for the day ahead.

Blanca Café: The Best Coffee in Calpe

We take our coffee as seriously as we take cycling. At Blanca Café, we’ll be serving ethically sourced, single-origin beans roasted in-house, just like at our Blanca Bikes Base Camp in Parcent. Our coffee is crafted with care, and we’ve worked hard to create a menu that will satisfy everyone, from the early riser looking for a strong espresso to the coffee connoisseur seeking the perfect filter brew. The café’s fresh food menu will complement the coffee perfectly, offering everything from light breakfasts to hearty lunches. Whether you’re in the mood for eggs Florentine or a fresh salad, our all-day menu is designed to keep you energised throughout the day. We know how important it is for cyclists to fuel properly, and we’re excited to offer dishes that are not only delicious but also nutritious.

Blanca Café isn’t just a place to eat and drink—it’s a full-service cycling centre designed to support every aspect of your cycling experience. We’ll be offering a Bike Rental Pick Up service in Calpe alongside our out-of-town delivery service, making it easy for you to book your Cervelo online and collect it from the café when you’re ready to start your day. We’re already taking bookings for December 2024, so if you’re planning a trip to Calpe, be sure to reserve your bike hire now.

 

In addition to bike rentals, we’ll have a wide range of cycling accessories and gear available for purchase. Whether you need a new helmet, gloves, or a puncture repair kit, you’ll find everything you need at Blanca Café. We’re here to make sure you’re fully equipped for your ride, no matter how long or short it may be. If you run into any issues during your ride, don’t worry—we’ll also have bike repair services on-site. Our experienced team will be ready to help with any mechanical problems, so you can get back on the road as quickly as possible.

More Than a Café: A Community Hub

At Blanca Bikes, we’re passionate about building a community around cycling, and Blanca Café is an extension of that vision. We want this new space to be a place where cyclists can come together, whether you’re a local rider or visiting from abroad. Blanca Café will be more than just a stop on your route—it will be a meeting point, a place to share stories, plan future rides, and connect with like-minded people. We’re also here to help you plan your cycling adventures. If you’re looking to book a guided cycling tour in Calpe or a cycling holiday in Spain in the future, Blanca Café will be the perfect place to make those arrangements. Our team has extensive knowledge of the local area and can offer expert advice on the best routes, hidden gems, and must-see spots. Whether you’re a solo cyclist or part of a group, we’ll help you make the most of your time in Calpe.

Opening Soon – November 2024

We can’t wait to welcome you to Blanca Café in December. We’ll be launching our bike hire service on 1st December, so you can start booking your bikes and planning your rides now. Whether you’re visiting Calpe for a cycling holiday or you’re a local looking for a new go-to café, Blanca Café will be ready to serve you with the same passion and dedication you’ve come to expect from Blanca Bikes. We’re so excited to bring Blanca Café to Calpe, and we’re confident it’s going to be a game-changer for cyclists in the area. From specialty coffee and fresh food to bike hire, repairs, and gear, Blanca Café will offer everything you need to make your cycling experience in Calpe unforgettable.

Stay tuned for updates, and we look forward to seeing you soon at Blanca Café, your new favourite spot for cycling, coffee, and community!

We just rent two bikes there for two days. They were to be honest not the cheapest, but made the most professional impression. But 1st, the bikes are really not comparable to the ones from competitors as they're much better. And 2nd they delivered with service. From the first contact which was very responsive and nice, over issues that we faced during the rental (flat tire, can happen) they handed us a self repair kit upfront and were always there and assisted us. As they have multiple shops nearby, you could also step in there if you face issues during your ride. Totally recommend them.

Used for bike hire. Excellent pre hire service to help me book correct size bike. Perfect on both pickup and drop off. Also stopped in Calpe shop for spares which was great.

Fantastic 3 night stay with my son at the Blanca Bikes accomodation in Javea. Comfortable room, great breakfast to fuel up for start of day. Well maintained bikes ready when we arrived along with route suggestions from Luke. Could not have been easier arranging transfers from Alicante, accomodation and bikes for the short getaway - one stop shop - thanks to Heidi and team. We will be back!

There's only so long you can ride the same old wrecked roads in the same grim winter weather, so Blanca Bikes offered a chance to escape Glasgow. Run by a former Scottish racer and staffed with people who know what bike riders are looking for, it's a great set-up in the old part of Javea, close to great food spots. From quality Cervelo bike hire to a big breakfast, an airy room and route advice or guiding, you're not left wanting for anything. I was left wondering why it's taken me so long to get to the Costa Blanca and see how incredibly slow I am compared to Tadej Pogacar on the coll de Rates. Can't be beaten – Blanca bikes, not Pogacar...

Rented three Cervélo road bikes from Blanca Bikes for a cycling trip to Calpe and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. All the bikes were in excellent condition — clearly well maintained and ready to ride straight away. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout. Special shout‑out to Richard, who sorted me out with a couple of cleat bolts and made a few tweaks to my bike setup that made a real difference. We also visited their café in Parcent, which is absolutely worth the stop if you’re heading over to the Col de Rates. Great coffee, tasty sandwiches, and loads of outdoor space to relax in before or after the climb. Highly recommended for both bike hire and a great café stop.
