Palmelita - Castillo

€21,70 for 3 cappuccino and 3 pastries. Large selection of pastries, sweet and also without sugar. Sitting outside in the shade under umbrellas and in a side street. So reasonable quiet. Nice waiter. Clean toilets, bit outdated but clean

I chose this place for a birthday treat because it looked cute and I couldn't have been happier! Really good cake and cappuccino for a reasonable price. Finished with a Barraquito, sooo good. I sat outside in the alley so I could still enjoy the atmosphere of the main shopping street without risking people walking by stepping on my toes, so to speak. Lovely service as well, very attentive and friendly!

La Palmelita – Castillo is a true gem in the heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a haven for lovers of fine pastries, sweets, and expertly crafted coffee. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an elegant display of freshly made cakes, tarts, and confections that reflect both craftsmanship and tradition. Their selection is impressive and diverse, with something to satisfy every sweet tooth—from classic Spanish pastries to more modern creations, all made with evident attention to quality and detail. However, the standout for me was the barraquito—a layered Canarian coffee drink that they prepare with extraordinary care. The result is a rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced cup, combining coffee, sweet condensed milk, Licor 43, frothed milk, and a hint of lemon zest. It’s not just a drink—it’s an experience. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or taking a moment to indulge in a slice of cake, La Palmelita offers an atmosphere of quiet sophistication and genuine warmth. It's the perfect spot to take a break while exploring the city center. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-tier pastries and a truly memorable barraquito.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday here. The staff very affectionate and helpful. As always, the products are fresh and tasty. definitely recommended

We sat outside and had coffee and cake here yesterday. Big variety of cakes. We ordered the fruit tart and pistachio cheesecake. Both tasted really good. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Recommended!

Nice little coffee place with a wide range of cakes to choose from. We ordered pistachio cake with pistachio ice cream but were given chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream. It's probably our fault for not speaking Spanish. The hot chocolate also said it had a chocolate on top in the menu but it came without it.

Palmelita - Castillo is a true gem. The pastries are divine, the coffee is rich, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. You can taste the care in every sip and bite—authentic, charming, and unforgettable.

Me and my husband went for breakfast 2 weeks ago and had a club sandwich and a raspberry cake it was sooo good and so fresh and the service was very kind. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you 😊🤍
