Best Cafes to Work From in Lanzarote

An award-winning specialty roastery run by Elba, a former Michelin-star restaurant professional from Madrid who roasts single-origin beans from Guatemala, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Honduras on-site. Call ahead and she will seat you near a power socket with WiFi included, making this the most deliberately nomad-friendly cafe on the island. Vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free pastries are beautifully presented alongside expertly pulled espressos in an intimate, upscale-yet-relaxed space on Puerto del Carmen's main strip.

Inspired by years spent in Australia, this minimalist boutique cafe in the heart of Arrecife serves what many consider the best specialty coffee in all of Lanzarote, with perfectly balanced flat whites and espressos from carefully sourced beans. The open, white-walled interior is adorned with local art and photographs, and multiple seating types -- sofas, chairs, a communal long table, and outdoor stools -- make it comfortable for laptop sessions. Spanish-language reviews specifically praise it as pleasant for working with a laptop, and the homemade pistachio cookies have become legendary on the island.

A Sicilian-run patisserie and cafe with "super strong WiFi" where staff genuinely do not mind you working on your laptop for hours, as confirmed by multiple digital nomad guides covering Playa Blanca. Opening at 7 AM makes it the earliest option on this list, and the extravagant display of homemade Sicilian pastries, cakes, and gelato sits alongside around ten styles of Italian coffee including the iconic local barraquito. Located on the main plaza overlooking the marina, it can get noisy during peak tourist hours but the early morning window is ideal for focused deep work.

The undisputed surf-culture hub of Famara village, this fusion restaurant and bar has outdoor seating overlooking the dramatic El Risco cliffs and Famara beach, with WiFi confirmed adequate for video calls by multiple digital nomad sources. You will regularly find other remote workers on laptops in the laid-back communal atmosphere, as it functions as an informal co-working gathering point for the Famara nomad community. The menu spans Balinese pancakes and poke bowls to wok specials and craft cocktails, though the late 12:30 PM opening means this is best suited for afternoon and evening work sessions.

A charming beachfront coffee shop run by Emilia as part of Cactus Surf School, perched on the Costa Teguise seafront with direct ocean views that make it one of the most scenic spots for a morning coffee on the island. The artisan espresso is widely considered the best in Costa Teguise at remarkably affordable prices, accompanied by homemade banana bread, vegan snacks, and fresh bocadillos. The relaxed surfer atmosphere and small footprint work best for a focused morning session rather than a full day, and you should bring a fully charged laptop as power outlet availability has not been confirmed.
