Las Palmas Coffee shops to work from
Working remotely in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
One of the most important things for digital nomads is to find the right coffeeshop to work from. Here's a list of coffee shops that I worked from while staying in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria from November 2021-February 2022.
Luwak
★★★☆☆
Coffee: Alright
Sockets: Some
Wifi: Good
Noise: Semi noisy background music
Location: Near Plazoleta de Farray, Find on Google Maps
Luwak is not just a great place to have brunch but also very nice to work from. I definitely recommend going there on a day when you don't have many calls.
Their coffee is decent and there are several people sitting on their laptops, so you won't feel unwelcomed.
Cappuccino at Luwak
The staff is nice but not very attentive, so if you want a refill or get your bill it can be quicker to go directly to the bar. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here.
Un Lugar
★★★★☆
Coffee: Shite
Sockets: Every table
Wifi: Good
Noise: Barely any background noise
Location: Near Plazoleta de Farray, Find on Google Maps
If you're looking for a nomad hotspot, Un Lugar is the place to be. Probably one of the most popular coffee shops for remote workers in Las Palmas. They offer great wifi and plug sockets at every table. Their coffee, however.. let's say it was more like luke warm milk.

Get there early if you want to secure yourself a table. If you can't find a spot, it might be worth popping over to Luwak as it's only a 2 minute walk away.
With everyone on their laptops it feels almost like a coworking space. I highly recommend Un Lugar if you can ignore the taste of their coffee.
Iced Latte and Matcha Latte at Un Lugar
Talleres Palermo
★★★★☆
Coffee: Decent
Sockets: Staff provides extention cables
Wifi: Good
Noise: Some background music
Location: Near Las Canteras Beach, Find on Google Maps
If you're after a nice atmosphere and interesting interior design, check out Talleres Palermo. They also offer a coworking space upstairs where you can access a roof terrace where they grow tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables.

When you go to the bar, they open a tap for you and will hand you a chip with the tap number. Anything you consume while you're there will be loaded against that tap. If you spend more than €5 you won't have to pay for working from there. For anything less you pay the difference.
Since it's a mix and match of furniture, not all seats are comfortable. If you want a nice chair, get there early. Another thing to note is that they're only open until around 3pm. After that, you either have to leave or use their coworking space upstairs which costs extra.
If you find yourself in need of a socket, ask one of the staff members, they're quite good at finding a way to connect you with some sort of extention cable without you having to leave your seat.
Cool Beans
★★★★★
Coffee: Amazing
Sockets: Bottom side of the table
Wifi: Strong
Noise: Quiet background music
Location: Las Palmas Old town, Find on Google Maps
This was my favourite place to work from. Unfortunately, I lived a bit far away, so I didn't go there as often as I would've liked.
Coffee at Cool Beans
Their coffee is very delicious and served in cute handmade cups, a little card that gives you more information about where the coffee beans are from and a sweet little brownie.
Inside the coffee shop they sell cups and art from local artists. It's a quiet atmosphere and since it's a small coffee shop, there aren't many tables, but every time I went there, there was a space at the big round table. Sockets are placed at the bottom side of the big round table and on the walls.
If you're located in the old town, I highly recommend Cool Beans to work from. If you're not based nearby, go there anyway.
Caracolillo Coffee
★★★★☆
Coffee: Amazing
Sockets: No
Wifi: Good
Noise: Barely any
Location: Halfway towards Las Palmas Old town, Find on Google Maps
One of the best coffees I had. They also do a great dirty chai!
When I got there in the morning, I was the only person on a laptop. Another person arrived in the afternoon who was also working remotely. They don't seem to promote themselves as a place to work from but they've also treated me like any other guest and I didn't feel unwelcome being the only person with a laptop.
Caracolillo Coffee shop
You can see in the photo of the interior that it's very clean but that it's not the best seating arrangment for working from a laptop.
Cappuccino at Caracolillo
There was only one socket next to one of the lower tables, so if your laptop doesn't have the best battery life, maybe this isn't the best place for you. However, their coffees are a must try as it's quite difficult to come across a good cup of Joe on the island.
Summary
There are plenty of coffee shops to work from in Las Palmas. If you made it this far but become a bit lazy to read, feel free to check out the video below.
