Buena Onda: Pancake Paradise by the Beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

If you’re strolling through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and suddenly feel a deep need for the fluffiest pancake of your life, a croissant bursting at the seams, or a coffee that tastes like Italy in a cup… head straight to Buena Onda.

Just around the corner of Playa de Las Canteras, this sun-soaked café has a breezy terrace with front-row views of the Atlantic. It’s the kind of place that makes breakfast feel like a mini holiday.

🥞 Pancakes That Are Practically Pillows

Here’s what everyone talks about: the pancakes. Buena Onda’s stack is super fluffy, and always served the same way: fresh fruit, a light vanilla sauce, and just the right amount of sweetness to start your day happy. If pancakes could get fan mail, these would need their own inbox.

🥐 Croissants That Don’t Mess Around

They don’t bake in-house, but they know who to call. The croissants come straight from Bakery de Stefano and arrive golden, flaky, and filled with joyful things like a sweet homemade cream or a savoury fingerlicking good alternative. It’s breakfast with a bit of flair and a lot of flavour.

🍳 Shakshuka, But Make It Canarian-Italian

Buena Onda’s shakshuka isn’t the spicy kind. It’s their own breakfast remix, with a poached egg, creamy avocado, roasted vegetables, and a slab of homemade focaccia perfect for scooping it all up. It’s warming, wholesome, and just the right kind of savoury start.

☕ Coffee Done the Italian Way

Of course the coffee is good — they’re Italian. Every cup is smooth, strong, and served with style. Whether you’re team flat white or prefer a punchy espresso, you’ll be caffeinated and happy in no time.

📍 Where to Find the Fluff

Address: C. Párroco Francisco Rodríguez Rodríguez 4, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Just seconds from Las Canteras beach, with an ocean-view terrace that makes every bite taste a little more magical.

☀️ Final Forkful

Buena Onda is everything a great breakfast spot should be: chilled, delicious, and full of things you’ll want to eat again tomorrow. Bring a friend, grab a spot outside, and prepare to fall in love with pancakes all over again.

Note: Pancake toppings and menus might change. If anything’s out of date, drop us a note in Slack and we’ll fix it faster than you can say “¡Buen provecho!”

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
