Be Happy: Where Vegan Comfort Food Meets Ice Cream in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
🍦 Calle Ruiz de Alda hides a sweet surprise for vegans, flexitarians, and dairy-free dessert lovers: Be Happy. It might look like your average ice cream parlour from the outside, but step in and you’ll find a full-blown vegan-friendly menu with both savoury and sweet comfort food. Plus lots of colourful scoops to finish strong.
🧇 Vegan waffles, crepes and even burgers
Be Happy isn’t here to play around. Yes, they serve classic crêpes and pancakes, but they’ve also cracked the code on vegan versions, with options that actually taste like the real thing. Think waffles topped with a Heura burger and all the fixings. Yes, it sounds wild. Yes, it’s also absolutely delicious.
There are also vegan pancakes, savoury crêpes with plant-based fillings, and enough variety to keep both your vegan and not-so-vegan friends happy.
🥗 Light bites and savoury vegan plates
If you’re not in the mood for something sweet (who even are you?), there are fresh salads, sandwiches, and filling vegan mains on offer too. Nothing fussy, just tasty comfort food made from good ingredients, with a few surprises along the way.
It’s a great lunch option if you’re around Mesa y López, and especially handy if you’re navigating the usual “where can we eat that has vegan options but also ice cream?” group chat dilemma.
🍨 Plant-based ice cream? Yes, really.
The vegan ice cream at Be Happy is made in-house and comes in several flavours, depending on the day. They don’t skimp on texture or flavour, so you can expect creamy, indulgent scoops with zero dairy and zero regret. It’s perfect for anyone avoiding lactose or just looking for a lighter treat.
Pro tip: ask which flavours are vegan that day, because they rotate often.
💚 Why vegans actually love it here
Be Happy doesn’t just have a vegan option—it has a whole bunch of them. It’s one of the rare spots in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria where being plant-based doesn’t feel like an afterthought. You’ll get a full menu, helpful staff, and no need to explain five times what “no dairy” means.
Plus, if you’re out with a mixed group of eaters, it’s one of those rare places where everyone can eat well and leave happy.
