About Cafetería El Canguro

Situated near the juzgados in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, this café blends a familiar, down-to-earth atmosphere with a menu that feels both traditional and satisfying. It’s a spot where locals drop by for simple, hearty meals—especially those who appreciate fresh, well-made bread and a variety of classic sandwiches. The bread, often mentioned by regulars, pairs well with their diverse offerings, from typical Canarian dishes to a selection of pizzas, pastries, and casual small plates.

The vibe here is cosy and relaxed, inviting people who come alone to work on their laptops as much as friends gathering for a casual bite. Whether you’re in for breakfast, brunch, or a laid-back dinner supported by a thoughtfully curated beer, wine, and spirits list, the place manages to feel welcoming without fuss. Wheelchair accessibility and family-friendly touches, like a kids’ menu and high chairs, also make it accommodating for a broad range of visitors.

Its steady flow of clientele includes everyone from local neighbors to those working nearby, many appreciating the straightforward, no-nonsense approach to food and service. The environment strikes a balance—quiet enough for focus, yet lively enough to feel part of the neighborhood rhythm. Outdoor seating isn’t available here, but the inside remains a comfortable refuge throughout the day, with table service and options for takeaway or no-contact delivery adding convenience.

What Locals Say

Tukaram Mesuena From Google 5

Voy desde hace unos 6 años. El pan me encanta, el de toda la vida. Los bocadillos de pata con queso son mis preferidos. Y el cortado que suelo pedir siempre genial. Tienen pizzas, dulces y comida típica. Los precios no los veo caros pero tampoco son baratos. Hay que tener en cuenta que están al lado de los juzgados y eso lo tienen que aprovechar. Y como autónomo sé los gastos que tiene una empresa como para que estén regalando la comida. Los precios considero que son más que justos. Solo el pan bien merece la pena lo que vale porque no es el típico congelado que venden en los supermecados e incluso en otras cafeterías, que da vergüenza ajena.

Si estás a dieta no se te ocurra pisar este lugar...jajaja. La bollería es increíble. Para muestra, un botón. El pan de bombón con chocolate está increíble. Tienen pan muy rico.

El mejor pan que he probado, sin duda. Destacan por eso y por sus bocadillos. La verdad es que las veces que he ido el trato ha sido muy bueno.

Que voy a decir, un sitio de los de toda la vida en los que tratan como uno más de la familia. Encima la comida de 10 y casera. Eventazo el que tuvimos el otro día con su burger XXL. Si quieren ver detalles, en instagram: @comeconlas3B_gc_mad

Un restaurante y cafetería con solera en la zona de San José, muy cerca de Vegueta. El personal muy atento y profesional. Los desayunos son espectaculares, sobre todo la pata asada y las tortillas de pimiento y cebolla. También tiene comida para llevar y pastelería. Un lugar agradable para cualquier hora del día.
