Communions, reunions, recharging batteries… At Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo, we witness generations returning time and again to our tables. This historic café in Palma becomes the perfect setting to celebrate life’s most endearing milestones and catch up with friends—always with Mallorcan tradition at the heart of it all.
1. The First Communion
When May and June arrive, children aged 8 to 10 prepare for a cherished rite of passage: their First Communion. At Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo, families reserve a table to enjoy an irresistible snack for every age: freshly baked ensaimadas, artisanal quartos, and of course our signature artisanal ice creams—plus plenty more to choose from. We love to see the little ones’ smiles as they taste a spoonful of melted chocolate or a refreshing horchata sorbet—a moment imprinted forever in the memories of both young and old, all eager to return.
2. Reunions of Former Schoolmates
After years apart, many groups of school or high-school friends choose Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo as their reunion spot. Over a café con leche, they dust off old stories of youth. The cozy atmosphere and genuine Mallorcan hospitality bring each anecdote back to life, always accompanied by a tray of our beloved sweets.
3. Wedding Anniversary Lunches
To celebrate silver or golden wedding anniversaries, Mallorcan couples often return to the spot where they may have shared their very first ice cream. On these special luncheons, our menu expands to include hot beverages and an assortment of artisanal desserts—filled ensaimadas among them. A toast with hot chocolate seals the promise of many more years of shared memories.
4. A Rest After Strolling Through the City Center
Between shopping trips and visits to Palma’s old town, no one can resist a stop at Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo. Tourists and locals alike seek a moment’s pause: a quarto with hot chocolate, a glass of fresh horchata, or a scoop of almond ice cream. That brief interlude becomes an urban ritual, recharging your energy with the authentic flavors of Mallorca.
5. An Afternoon Treat with Grandchildren
Perhaps the most heartwarming moment is when grandparents bring their grandchildren by the hand to show them the café where they once played. The children discover the joy of a warm ensaimada or the zing of a lemon sorbet while grandparents reminisce about their own childhoods. In these shared smiles and laughter, Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo fulfills its mission as an intergenerational café, where a centuries-old recipe and timeless hospitality pass from one generation to the next.
