Café de La Plaza — Restaurant in Yaiza

Ok, so we are in Spanish territory, but sometimes, when away from home, you just crave a good cup of tea, made in a tea pot instead of in your cup with water that is more than just off the boil. If so, head here for a truly lovely cuppa! Add to it some tasty sandwiches or a delicious homemade cake and you won't be disappointed.

The staff are friendly and efficient, like swans; calm on the surface, and whizzing around in the background to prepare food and drinks that won't last long on your plates. We've been making an annual trip to Lanzarote for 8 years, except in the covid pandemic, and we had missed this café as it isn't on the main walkway in Puerto Calero, that won't happen again.

Is it too much to ask for a fresh baked scone? If yes then at least have the fortitude to lie and heat up some off the shelf scones.

Tea leaves are a must, but if a tea bag then surely a speciality tea or Twinnings.

I'm sorry but clotted cream or else chairs shall be knocked...

Absolutely lovely place, called here while on holiday on 17/2/23. It’s located behind the main marina and shops in Puerto Calero. Staff all very nice and attentive, ordered the ploughman’s and it was delicious, but the main reason for the visit was the cheesecake, a different flavour freshly made every Friday by the owner Rachel, this one was lemon.😋 To say this is the best cheesecake I’ve ever had is an understatement, simply outstanding. Well worth the €10 taxi ride from...
