Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo
About
Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo is the oldest chocolate‑and‑ice‑cream shop in Mallorca, a living testament to over three centuries of Mallorcan culinary tradition. Nestled in the heart of Palma’s historic centre, the original store on Carrer Can Sanç still retains the classic décor and the scent of freshly‑made pastry. Visitors are welcomed into a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere where iconic treats such as the buttery ensaimada, the velvety almond ice‑cream and the classic hot chocolate recover their heritage in every bite. The shop’s second branch at Carrer del Baró de Santa Maria del Sepulcre offers a more modern setting while preserving the same artisanal quality, and a third location at Carrer del Sindicat provides contemporary design for those who prefer a sleek environment. Whether you are a food explorer, a history enthusiast or simply looking for a sweet break, Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo delivers an experience steeped in tradition, affordability, and hospitality.
