Canarian breakfasts are usually simple and everyday. For breakfast, locals enjoy toasted bread called tostada or sandwiches called bocadillas. They also choose croissants and pastries. Coffee is a must. Many order café con leche, which is coffee with milk, or cortado, which is stronger coffee with a small amount of milk.
However, we prefer more interesting places where you can get more than just a sandwich. Breakfast in Tenerife: our recommended places that, in our opinion, are worth trying.

Lilies Garden Las Galletas
One of the most Instagrammable cafés in Tenerife, located in Las Galletas. The café follows an Alice in Wonderland theme and features plenty of greenery.
We often have breakfast here. We like the atmosphere and the food. The breakfasts and brunches are tasty, and the dessert selection is large.
It suits a slow holiday morning or a longer brunch meeting with family or friends.

Sunrise Cafe Costa Adeje
This café is simple and located on a tourist street. We chose it because shakshuka appears on the menu.
The food is tasty and colorful. However, the location is a downside, as it sits close to the street in a tourist area.

Metropolis Bar Café Las Americas
Choose this café if you enjoy not only tasty and colorful food but also watching the ocean and the waves.
Although the café stands in the heart of Las Americas, the ocean view makes up for it. Here, you can also watch surfers catching waves.
