I'm convinced I did a Yelp review on this wonderful little cafe a month ago. We had visited it in January 2023 - long before our most recent visit (April 2026) - and the owners are still real welcoming and friendly. It's quaint and comfortable and just off the Main Street which itself is only in the hundreds of yards. We got coffees and Spanish doughnuts, which are among the best we've ever eaten (not just here but doughnuts are mostly fabulous all over Spain). I wouldn't thank you for a Dunkin' donut or Krispy Kreme these days (6 times the price of a Spanish doughnut) but I'd polish off a few of these Spanish treats any day. Coffees too were darn good here. Now this might come as a surprise but there's not much to do in Arrecife - they have a few forts, a lot of restaurants offering Canarian cuisine and real scenic beauty so it's perfect for R&R: rest and relaxation. There's one Main Street with shops and cafes and at least one fairly decent supermarket but prices are creeping up here thanks to the 47th and most ignoble base creature ever to be given a country's credit card. He (and his lackeys) couldn't demean or debase that once great office any further than he already has, even if he really tried. Now he's waist stuck in the slowsand of the Islamic world. I'm not sure he sees he's caught by their salmon fishing technique of negotiating. They'll reel him in and just when he thinks it's job done they'll let him out and keep repeating reel in/let go until exhaustion - with no deal - they have no intention of making a deal. They bet on the fact that they have time - he doesn't - so unless he does something really militarily epic (not just a catch phrase) oil will not fall and market volatility will continue hitting investment and trade. No country for old men and no country to be governed by old men. read more
