about us
Caracolillo Coffee was born out of the discovery of specialty coffee and its culture as something different and new that, after six years of exploration, too much work and a little debt, managed to make a dream come true in a unique space in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The name "Caracolillo" refers to peaberry coffee, the favorite coffee of Felix, grandfather of founder Jon Rueda.With sights set on the quality, diversity and coffee culture, Caracolillo appears with the vision of bringing a unique selection of high-quality driven coffees and small batches from different roasters with the commitment to achieve complex and special results in the final cups. Combined with classic options of specialty coffees and local culture, a small menu of food and other drinks is also offered. Take a look to our menu
coffee roasters
The coffee roaster's offer doesn't stop growing and surprising. Here you can find a list of every coffee roaster we have worked with at least once.Our criteria on choosing the coffee roaster and the coffees we work with are based on the roaster's experience, the relationship towards coffee complexity, the specialisation on roasting coffee and the sort of machines and distinguished practices proper to the third wave of coffee.
We look for roasters who buy great green beans and show a consistent development of their coffees, to make coffee taste how it should taste. And this is the only way we could ever consider coffee to be.

At Caracolillo we serve espresso and filter.
Espresso is the most common choice. The drink you can have with milk or black. If you are a milky-person, give it a go with the local fresh full cream milk Sandra or ask for your fav non-dairy option Oatly. If you are more on the dark side, order a house espresso or ask for a funky espresso.
We usually have at least two options. The house coffee, constantly changing trough out balanced and versatile options, also design to pair with milk base coffees. And special espresso options, which are the perfect choice for coffee adventurers, with more bold and up to taste choices.
Filter coffee is the most purist, less concentrated and probably the most pleasant way in which we can offer you a cup of coffee. The “filtro de la casa” it's our batch brew made with Moccamaster and can contain a wide range of profiles. The manual filter is the V60, were you can find all the geishas, 90+, competition coffees, experimental processes and all the rareness and more uncommon options the world of coffee is offering at the moment.
Give us a wink and ask for coffee recommendations! :)
