Lanzarote isn’t just a paradise for road cyclists because of the climate, roads, and scenery—it’s also a haven for café culture. A solid coffee stop can turn a good ride into a great one, especially when it’s paired with a fresh pastry, a sunny terrace, and a chance to chat with fellow riders.
Here’s our roundup of the best cafés and pit stops to recharge your legs and spirit while exploring Lanzarote on two wheels.
1. Mura – Teguise
Located in the heart of historic Teguise, Mura is a espressobar. With strong coffee, fresh cakes and sanwiches, it’s a must-stop if you’re climbing into the centre of the island.
2. Croissantería Tertulia - Famara
Straightforward and rewarding when cycling the west coast: croissants, sandwiches, cakes, good coffee and orange juice.
3. La Cantosa – Uga
This unassuming spot near the Timanfaya region is perfect for a mid-ride stop. Their bocadillos are legendary among local riders, and it offers shade, good coffee, and friendly service.
4. Oppa Specialty Coffee – Costa Teguise
This café is a favourite for cyclists riding the east coast. Their almond croissants are the perfect reward after a hard morning effort.
5. Santa Catalina Cafe – Yaiza
If you're looping south, this traditional café in Yaiza offers the kind of authentic, unhurried atmosphere that makes a pit stop memorable. Grab a café con leche, one of the amazing cakes or toasts, and soak up the views.
Final Thoughts
Cycling in Lanzarote is as much about the journey as the stops you make along the way. These cafés aren't just about calories—they’re community hubs for cyclists. Ride, relax, refuel, and don’t forget to book your high-end road bike or e-bike with Papagayo Bike to explore these amazing spots with ease.
