A Fresh Favorite in North Akumal
Guests staying on Half Moon Bay, Yal Ku, and Akumal Bay now have a delicious new reason to venture out in the morning. Qué Onda Deli has quickly become a go-to for fresh, satisfying breakfasts and casual bites that feel indulgent without stretching your vacation budget.
Tucked near Yal Ku in North Akumal, this neighborhood deli brings together artisan baking, hearty portions, and everyday staples in one welcoming space. It is the kind of spot you visit once and then return to all week.
The Cinnamon Rolls Everyone Is Talking About
Let’s start with the showstopper. The homemade cinnamon rolls are gigantic and iced fresh when you order. Warm, soft, and perfectly balanced between sweet and spice, they are easily shareable but you may not want to.
Pair one with a morning coffee before heading out to snorkel, or take a few back to your villa and enjoy breakfast on your terrace.
Schiacciatta, Sourdough, and Savory Standouts
The schiacciatta comes in several irresistible varieties, featuring combinations like cheese, olives, and jalapeños. Crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, it makes an excellent grab-and-go option for beach days.
A true favorite is the homemade sourdough bread, offered in a variety of flavors. One of the best-value options is the sourdough loaf with cheese, ham, and jalapeños. A single loaf easily provides four to six hearty portions, making it perfect for families or small groups staying in vacation rentals.
To elevate it even further, toast a thick slice and top it with Qué Onda’s homemade sun-dried tomatoes or their serrano chicharrón, serrano peppers preserved in olive oil. It transforms simple bread into a memorable meal.
Desserts for Any Time of Day
Breakfast, lunch, or after-dinner treat, the desserts here deserve attention. Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and berries with cream are prepared with the same care as the breads. They are rich without being heavy and make an excellent addition to a relaxed evening back at your vacation rental.
More Than a Bakery
Beyond the baked goods, Qué Onda Deli also stocks useful staples for guests: coffee, milk, pasta, and other deli sundries. It is a convenient stop if you need a few essentials without making a larger grocery run.
When to Go
Qué Onda Deli is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm. Arrive sooner rather than later, as the fresh favorites tend to sell out early.
For guests staying in North Akumal, especially along Half Moon Bay and near Yal Ku Lagoon, this deli is an easy and rewarding addition to your daily routine. Fresh, generous, and thoughtfully made, it is quickly becoming part of the rhythm of mornings in Akumal.
