In La Gomera’s 14 cafés, the baristas still know the names of the regulars. The 12 best cafés on La Gomera range from the Cafeteria de Misti in Valle Gran Rey, with 4.9 stars, to the Tasca Las Cruces in Agulo, which has racked up 535 reviews. There are no international chains at all. The scene is dominated by small family-run bars, where a serving of Almogrote – a spicy goat’s cheese spread – is served alongside a latte. Valle Gran Rey carries on its hippie heritage from the 1970s through its vibrant vegetarian cuisine.
Cafés in La Gomera
A coffee with a tostada costs between two and five euros in the local cafés. Between eight and ten o’clock, the counters are at their busiest, and that’s when the Gomeros are also sitting at the bar. At the Bar Cafetería Arcilia in Imada and at La Dehesa in Palmarejo, card payments often fail, so you’ll need to have cash in your wallet. When paying, a brief «quedarse con el cambio» is enough as a tip. Outside Valle Gran Rey, speaking Spanish makes ordering noticeably easier.

Tips for your visit
Palm honey is a staple in many homes, served alongside a latte and drizzled over fresh pastries. Around the Plaza de la Constitución in San Sebastián de La Gomera, two venues are situated close together: the CHUPINUS at number 14 and the Café Bar Cacao on Avenida de Colón, which boasts 425 reviews. From some of the terraces, the view extends down into one of the deep barrancos.
Amidst the coffee houses, 98 restaurants hold their own, with local fish and goat’s cheese on the menu. At the counter of the Bar Cafetería EL CRUCE at the Juego de Bolas junction in Las Rosas, the whistling of the ‚Silbo‘ can sometimes be heard from a neighbouring conversation. After a day’s hiking in Garajonay National Park, pastries with almonds and aniseed await at Pastelería Lelo in Alajeró.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to get to the cafés in La Gomera?
The best way for visitors to reach La Gomera’s 14 cafés is by hire car, as the island has no continuous ring road and the barrancos mean you have to take long detours. Regular buses connect the larger towns of San Sebastián, Valle Gran Rey and Playa de Santiago. The winding mountain roads leading to Bar Cafetería Arcilia in Imada require some driving experience.
Are there cafés in La Gomera with outdoor terraces or sea views?
Several of the 14 cafés have outdoor terraces, particularly in the coastal towns of San Sebastián, Valle Gran Rey and Playa de Santiago, offering direct views of the Atlantic. The Café Querida cereza on the Ctra. Playa del Inglés in Playa de la Calera is one of them. Cafés in the island’s interior, near Garajonay, offer views of the rugged mountain landscape instead. The mild temperatures mean you can sit outdoors almost all year round.
Which cafés on La Gomera do the locals frequent?
Gomeros mainly meet up in the cafés of San Sebastián, as well as in smaller establishments in the villages away from the tourist centres, such as the Bar Cafetería La Chama on Ctra. General in Hermigua. There, regional palm honey is served, often with pastries or dairy products. Visitors can recognise such places by the predominantly Spanish-speaking guests and the simple décor.
