Granier (Santa Cruz de la Palma)

This delightful Santa Cruz bakery sells some of the freshest pastries in town, with sweet and savoury varieties on offer. Muffins, croissants, layered dough pastries and – in the savory department – pizzas and sandwiches, along with an extensive coffee selection. Exceptional quality to price ratio.

Cafes

Canary Islands' signature coffee is known as "barraquito" – a sweet concoction containing a shot of espresso, condensed and regular milk, and, typically, a few drops of Cuarenta y Tres – a Spanish liquor made with 43 ingredients (hence the name), such as fruit juices, herbs, and vanilla extract. Some establishments work with actual citrus shavings and put their own spin on the iconic classic. To savour a top-notch cup of coffee, try Cafe de Don Manuel in Santa Cruz, which is run by an award-winning barista, or head uphill to one of the island's hillside panoramic terrace bars for a snack with a view.
