Breakfast in Arguineguín is easiest at the Anfi del Mar cafés, whose hours the resort publishes; in town the choice is wider but less documented. Ask for a cortado or a barraquito and a tostada.
The best-documented places for breakfast near Arguineguín are at Anfi del Mar, where the resort publishes hours for its cafés: Anfitrion Coffee Corner opens at 08:00 on weekdays, and the Tiki Bar serves coffee and breakfast from 09:00. In Arguineguín itself, coffee and breakfast are part of the day's rhythm at the town's restaurants and terraces, but opening hours are rarely published, so the honest advice is to check the door or the Google listing the evening before.
This page tells you what is verified, which places to try, and how to order coffee and a Spanish-style breakfast without any trouble.
Breakfast at Anfi del Mar: the places with published hours
Anfi's own restaurant list gives opening hours for several breakfast options, which is more than most places in the area do. The hours are undated on the resort's page, so they are a guide rather than a guarantee.
| Place | What it offers | Hours listed |
|---|---|---|
| Anfitrion Coffee Corner | Coffees and breakfasts, to eat in or take away; next to the Puerto Anfi reception | 08:00–16:00 Mon–Fri, 09:00–17:00 Sat, 09:00–15:00 Sun |
| Tiki Bar | Coffee, breakfast, snacks, pizzas and à la carte | 09:00–21:00 |
| Tropicana | Breakfast buffet or à la carte breakfast, plus an international menu | 08:00–17:45 (Thursdays 08:00–22:00) |
| Puerto Vista | Buffet breakfast on a terrace by the Club Puerto Anfi pool | 08:30–21:30 |
| Maroa Club de Mar | Creative cooking and a chill-out terrace overlooking the sea | 08:30–23:00 |
| Gelateria Helamore | Hand-made ice cream, crêpes and waffles | 09:30–midnight |
Some of these (the buffets by the club pools especially) are aimed at resort guests, and the published pages do not say whether day visitors are welcome at every one. The Coffee Corner and Tiki Bar are described as ordinary cafés; for the rest, ask at the door.
Breakfast and coffee in Arguineguín town
In the town, the practical answer is the terrace of any restaurant open in the morning. El Marino Chico, in the Áncora centre, has reviews from spring 2026 and is described as busy enough that reviewers advise booking. No particular breakfast menu or opening time is published for it. Because opening hours at small Spanish places often change with the season and the owner, check the sign on the door and avoid planning an early start around a single café.
Another approach is to treat the morning as a market morning. On Tuesdays the Arguineguín Tuesday market runs from 08:30, which is a natural reason to have a coffee in the plaza first. For the rest of the town's restaurants, see the best restaurants in Arguineguín.
No named bakery (panadería) or pastry shop in Arguineguín is confirmed for 2026, so none is named. For a sense of where things are, the map and layout of Arguineguín shows the town area by area.
How to order coffee in Spain and the Canaries
Coffee in the Canaries follows Spanish rules, with one local twist.
- Café solo: a small black espresso.
- Cortado: espresso with a little milk. Often the best choice if you find a café solo too sharp.
- Café con leche: coffee with plenty of hot milk, the usual breakfast coffee.
- Americano: espresso topped up with hot water, closest to filter coffee.
- Barraquito: the Canarian layered coffee. It comes from Tenerife and is built from sweetened condensed milk, a shot of Licor 43, espresso and frothed milk, topped with cinnamon and lemon peel. It is a treat for the afternoon rather than a morning cup. If you want it without alcohol, ask for it sin licor.
"Para llevar" means to take away. If you want a decaffeinated coffee, ask for descafeinado. Most cafés understand a few English words, but a little Spanish is appreciated; see Spanish phrases for Arguineguín.
What a Spanish breakfast looks like
Spaniards often keep breakfast light, with a coffee and a pastry or toast. The staples to look for on a menu are tostada (toast, usually with olive oil and tomato, or butter and jam), a bocadillo (a filled roll), a croissant or a slice of tortilla española. Hotels and resort restaurants lean towards the international buffet. In the Canaries you may also meet gofio, toasted grain flour that can be stirred into milk or coffee at breakfast, according to the official Spanish tourism board.
If you want an English or Scandinavian-style breakfast, look at the hotel and resort restaurants first. They are more likely to offer it than a small town café, and are the ones that publish hours and menus.
Arguineguín first-coffee rule. Do not plan an early start around a single café you have not checked. Look at the opening sign the evening before, or use the Anfi cafés, whose weekday hours start at 08:00.
Other morning options nearby
Beyond the cafés, a walk along the sea before breakfast is a pleasant start; Patalavaca beach is the next one east. For where you will find other places to eat during the day, the tapas page and the sea-view restaurants page cover lunch and dinner.
