Where to Buy High-Quality Decaf Coffee Beans in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Where to Buy High-Quality Decaf Coffee Beans in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

If you’ve been wandering supermarket aisles muttering “Swiss Water? CO₂? Anything but chemical, please…”—you’re not alone. Decaf coffee beans that are both tasty and ethically processed are notoriously tricky to find on the island. But fear not! We tracked down a few solid sources in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Two of these are confirmed goldmines for decaf lovers, and a few others are well worth checking out if you’re on the hunt.

☕ Cuptural

This is the real deal. Cuptural stocks specialty decaf beans from Colombia and Brazil that are processed without chemicals (think Swiss Water style). They’re flavourful, fresh, and absolutely suitable for brewing at home. One Slack member snagged a couple of kilos here and gave it a full thumbs-up—so you’re not just trusting us, you’re trusting the community too.

📍 C. Rafael Almeida 5

☕ EcoIsleta

Looking for something bio, organic, and Fair Trade? EcoIsleta offers 1kg bags of decaf coffee beans that tick all the ethical boxes. There’s one catch—you’ll need to pre-order, as they don’t keep decaf stocked in-store. It takes a few days for their distributor to deliver, but if you’re planning ahead or buying in bulk, this is a great option.

📍 Calle Princesa Guayarmina 26
🕒 Best to drop by or message in advance to place your order

☕ Kafema (Worth Checking Out)

While we couldn’t confirm if Kafema sells their decaf beans to-go, we can confirm they roast their own and offer high-quality coffee across the board. Their cafes are well-stocked with beans, so it’s worth popping in to ask if they’ve got any non-chemical decaf available for home brewing.

📍 Triana – Calle Escritor Benito Pérez Galdós 24
📍 Las Canteras – Calle José Franchy Roca 66
📍 Mesa y López – Calle Ruiz de Alda 17

☕ Destino Café (Worth Checking Out)

Known for their excellent brews and good vibes near Parque Santa Catalina, Destino Café might just have what you’re looking for. They’re serious about coffee quality—even in the decaf department—so it’s possible they sell beans too. If you’re nearby, stop in and ask.

📍 Calle Albareda 5

☕ Cool Beans (Worth Checking Out)

A cosy indie spot in the old town, Cool Beans sells their own beans and has built a solid rep for specialty coffee. While we haven’t confirmed if decaf is part of the line-up, it’s definitely worth investigating. Bonus: they sometimes offer beans with fun alt milk pairing tips. We love a thoughtful roaster.

📍 Calle Audiencia 7

☕ Caracolillo Coffee (Worth Checking Out)

This small roaster is another one to keep on your radar. They’re all about quality and small-batch roasting, and it’s possible they have decaf options too. Worth asking next time you pass by or scroll through their social feeds.

📍 Calle Leon y Castillo 110

💡 Final Tip
Always ask what decaffeination method is used. If it’s not clearly labeled Swiss Water, CO₂, or Mountain Water, odds are it’s chemical. The folks behind the counter usually know their stuff and are happy to help. And if you strike decaf gold somewhere new—let us know! We’ll keep this guide perky and up-to-date.

Berro Bistrot might not shout about it, but their espresso is chef’s kiss. Even their decaf option has fans. It’s on the pricier side, but when that smooth shot hits just right, it’s easy to forgive. Cosy, stylish and just a bit fancy, Berro is a treat-yourself type of spot.

Café Regina is a staple in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with locations around Mesa y López and Las Canteras. Their Colombian beans are top-tier, and the decaf lattes come highly recommended. It’s the kind of place where you can take a breather and enjoy your coffee with a sea breeze nearby.

🚫 Skip These for Now (Sorry, Friends)

Sometimes it’s just not meant to be. If you’re on the hunt for decaf, you might want to steer clear of these:

  • Luwak Café – They’ve got lovely vibes and healthy eats, but no decaf on the menu.
  • Un Lugar Café – Great for working remotely and catching up with mates, but decaf is a no-go.
