Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo

The decision to come here was made after some intense ensaïmada research. This is an absolute legendary place. The decor is just amazing. Super traditional with many antique/old details. The ensaimadas are super good! I don’t have a sweet tooth but the Ensaimada cabello de ángel tastes like quality for sure. I also tried the traditional Cocarroi what I also loved. It’s a Mallorcan pastry with spinach, pine nuts and raisins. Very nice and great to try traditional flavours from the island. The lady working here was very helpful and friendly. She explained me things of the menu I didn’t understand and helped me make the right choice. I ordered a large Ensaimada cabello de ángel to take home as a gift and I could leave it there so I didn’t have to carry it around with me all day. This is definitely a plus for us tourists. The box is lovely and the price great. A super souvenir. I really wish I had more time (and space) to be able to try the amazing flavours of icecream. I shall return for sure.

This place is amazing! Founded in 1700, it's a 325-year-old classic. The vibe and interior decor get a full score from me. ​The coffee is seriously good, and you absolutely have to try their specialty Quarto and Ensaimada—they are delicious! ​Just a heads-up: it gets super crowded, so while you can usually grab a seat, waiting for your order might take a while. But trust me, the history and the taste make it totally worth the wait!

It was the first time I tried ensaimadas and they did not disappoint! Fluffy and tasty, perfect with a hot cup of chocolate ❤️ the setting is also very amazing, spending time in that place felt like going back in time

We discovered this café while searching for a place to have coffee on Google Maps. After reading the many positive reviews, we decided to visit and it was absolutely worth it. The staff was very friendly and the food we tried was delicious. It may not be an extraordinary place, but the interior design and unique character give it a very special charm. It feels like stepping into a café from the 1940s or 1950s. We especially loved the decorative tiles and the bright and airy atmosphere inside. If you are nearby, it is definitely worth visiting for a drink or a meal. You will leave happy.

We discovered Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo with my friends, and we just loved it! It’s a real local gem with a cozy, traditional atmosphere. The ensaimadas were so fresh and delicious, and the almond ice cream was amazing. It felt authentic and full of charm, definitely a place you shouldn’t miss when in Palma!

We tried this cute, Spanish café today and can only recommend it. The inside is absolutely beautiful, with old wood furniture and elegant decoration, it creates a cozy atmosphere. There was a polite waiter who was really friendly and brought us our order fast. To the food I can only say: try it! The cake is delicious, rich in flavour, the ice cream soo creamy and the Horchata was extremely good. If you wanna have an authentic café experience you should definitely check this café out :)

A very pleasant place, where I started my every day, because of the freshly baked on the spot ensaimadas. The hot chocolate did not make me such a big impression as previous reviews say but the fresh, hot, airy pastry was really amazing, every day. I can not recommend eating any of the others, as I don't know how fresh they'd be, the one I tried wasn't, but the simple, regular one is really a reason to go back again, even though I did it 3 days in a row in my stay in Palma.

It's got a lot of charm and the hot chocolate is decadent. We arrived at the end of the day so most of the pastries were sold out. The waiters are understaffed and stressed inside there so you'll need to be patient.

Get here early!!! We came later in the morning and the wait was not too long (20-30 min) however they were sold out of some of the popular flavors! The cafe is really charming inside and I really enjoyed the original ensaimada!

They open at 8am EVERYDAY (yes including Sundays!) which is super helpful when wanting to get an early start on the day. What I ordered: Chocolate ensaimada and fresh oj (5.50€) - Ensaimada was good but heavy on the chocolate, may have enjoyed it more not at 8am. - Orange juice was good but a tad overpriced (3+€) for the portion size in my opinion. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick or grab-and-go breakfast.

I'm Korean Is this a place that discriminates? **She has Black hair** She gave me no fork or knife, so I wiped my hands with a personal wet tissue and ate with my hands. When I looked at other white people's tables, I saw that they were using one fork and knife per person. I asked for a fork and knife once, and She brought me one fork and knife for one person. The knife was even stained, and when I asked for another fork twice, She said, "This is Spain, so eat with your hands." I was so shocked that I asked what the other table was like, and She got really angry and told me to eat in Spain the Spanish way before leaving. Why does she teached us while serving cutlery to other customers without saying a word? Because we are Asian? Or because we look young?

The food was great to eat for starting the day off. The workers were friendly. There is lots of history about this place.

Nice beautiful cafe in a small alley. Visited in June 2023. It wasn't hard to find using Gmaps. The ensaimada was light and airy with a dusting of pwderd sugr. Great dipped in coffee. Sorry for the blurred menu. It was €1.80 for the regular. I had the latte which was good too. Nice ambiance and very photogenic.

Read a lot about this place and was expecting a bit or a tourist trap, but was pleasantly surprised. The ensaimada was wonderful. We ordered one plane, a second with custard, and a third with apricots. Surprisingly they were not overwhelmingly sweet, yet very light and tasty. The hot chocolate was also fantastic and not too sickly. What a wonderful place to eat up some Mallorca culture!

Ensaimadas. Don't miss them. But because I'm not a sweets for breakfast sort of guy, I also had a tasty cafe con leche with a savory pie. The coffee was good and the pie was nicely stuffed with lamb. The service felt a little rushed despite it being early with no queue. Their menu has multiple languages and "point" works well too.

Historic food staple in Palma de Mallorca. Ensaimadas, cocas de patatas and their hot chocolate are the must-orders. I would also make sure you ask for some water since their classic hot chocolate is more of a dessert than a drink!

Delicious Pastries (5 stars) Our rental flat is right across the street. One of the oldest bakeries in Palma de Mallorca. Great selection of breakfast pastries. We bought 4: chocolate, apricot, cream, and another cream. Los quarto para llevar. They were still warm when we got back, and had then with coffee. They were super light and tasty, and creamy, and fruity, and the chocolate was delicious. The fact that it's directly across the street makes it so convenient, and all 4 cost 7.60 Euro. The mandatory photos are attached. Definitely worth returning.

Such a treat to try the ensaimadas at C'an Joan. Like eating a cloud, this is the pastry that dreams are made of. Topped with cream, topped with apricots or just plain, they are incredibly light and delicious. You won't even know you are eating them and then Poof! they will be gone. Great cafe con leche and even better service. Couldn't have been nicer, and we just totally dug the atmosphere in this great out Mallorcan haunt.

Whoa! I can't believe this place only has 10 reviews! This was literally one of my favorite discoveries in Spain! Their house ice cream is to die for and it's so cheap! I've tried every single flavor and every time I was in Palma I had to have some. There's something a bit different about their ice cream, so totally have a crave specifically for their ice cream sometimes. I've also tried their hot chocolate with whip cream. Lots of calories, but seriously such a good treat. I'm not even a hot chocolate fan, but this one was so rich that it totally won me over. Highly recommend this place. It's also so eccentric looking. Love it!

This is the original place, founded at the end of the XVI century. It is, like all the hidden gems, difficult to find. Get lost in the "call" and ask around to get in. But if you find it, it is totally worth it. Get some ensaimadas ( the typical pastry in Mallorca, made with lard and flour) or the gató amb gelat (almond cake with almond ice cream), and pair it with a lacao (Cocoa drink) or with a cafe con leche. You are getting into the mallorcan experience, and you will soon enjoy the quietness of this marvelous island.
