The 25 best desserts and snacks in Aruba

Best spot for authentic Dutch Pancakes. I split the “Strawberries & Cream” and the “Bacon & Cheese” pancakes with a friend for a sweet and savory combo. This absolutely hit the spot; the portions were huge and the flavors were unique. The Bacon and Cheese pancake contained Gouda, which was an excellent choice by the restaurant. Waitstaff was friendly, and my family waited less than 10 minutes at prime breakfast time.

It’s our first time in Aruba and we were looking for breakfast spot close to our Airbnb , and drove here and wow this beautiful place did not disappoint. We went twice now and Sandra our server help us both times . She was really helpful explaining to us since it was our first time seeing the menu . Gave us recommendations and was always attentive with a smile. The stylish Dutch pancakes was delicious and the mimosa were top notch. If it’s your first time in Aruba please visit Linda’s Dutch pancakes and trust me you won’t regret it . I’m not a fan of creps or pancakes but wow this place made me a fan . Next time I go visit Aruba I will definitely go again . Big shout out to Sandra and the owner for this wonderful place

You can’t leave Aruba without breakfast at Linda’s. This cozy spot feels like home — relaxed, sunny, and always buzzing with happy travelers. I had the tropical fruit Dutch pancake and a veggie omelet with toast — both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The pancake was thin, buttery, and dusted with sugar, topped with juicy papaya and mango — pure island comfort on a plate. Pair that with great coffee and friendly service, and you’ve got one of the best breakfast spots on the island.

Very delicious breakfast! Quick service so if your hungry you dont have to wait long. Dutch pancake can be a sweet option or made to be more savory with a variety of toppings like bacon & cheese. Reminded me & my husband of a crepe but slightly heavier yet not as heavy as a traditional American pancake. We tried a sweet version & a savory version. Both quite yummy 😋 We also got an omelet filled with veggies and bacon (of course!). While not on the menu, we did see a few tables order a bowl of bacon!!! Looked like the most perfect bacon, nice & crispy.

This place has great pancakes. I had both their savory and sweet pancakes and i preferred the savory type. The staff were nice. The food came out at a reasonable timeframe.

I thought it was solid and worth a visit — especially if you’re nearby. I had the ham, cheese, and mushroom, which was surprisingly great. The sweet ones? Meh. Fine, but not memorable. Service was a solid B (friendly but a bit slow), and it took 30 minutes to get a cab afterward — not their fault, just part of the adventure. If you’ve had Dutch pancakes in Amsterdam, you might find this one a bit overrated. Still, it’s a cozy stop with good vibes and a few standout bites. Call it a B+/A– overall.

We decided to try another Dutch Pancake house, it was alright. We enjoyed the omelette more than the Dutch pancake that I created on my own. Nice atmosphere and less than a ten minute wait.

This place has super affordable pastechis and drinks (water & soda is all I purchase here). The service is always friendly, and the food is always delicious! I’ve been going there for over 10 years, and it’s always the same good quality food. Please give them a try. You won’t regret it!

Amazing restaurant. The pastechis cost $2 USD each and they are kept in a warmer. They have spicy garlic sauce that you can get with them that is a must try. Would highly recommend this spot as the pastechis here are my favorite out of the 5+ other spots we tried. They taste like a chalupa and empanada mixed and are filled with different things. The parking is a bit tricky to get to. Just route to the bazaar building near it and there is a parking area right in front of the pastechi house across the "main street" which is just sort of a path for trolleys

Just a quick grab and go shop . We bought cheese and chop suey (vegetarian) paste chilies 3 time on our 10 day trip and it was great! Before we headed to airport, that morning we got the freshest and they were delicious!!

Absolutely loved this place. Small, cute and welcoming. An extremely nice gentleman was taking orders. I absolutely loved their crab cakes. I had to keep going back for more! They have a few sauces I recommend. Their garlic, their hot and their curry, in that order. I also really enjoyed their beef croquette. Everything was perfect and affordable!

As recommended by many you have to try pastechi when you are in Aruba, so we did. We went there to have them for breakfast as they don't qualify for a full lunch and are similar to pastries we have in Greece for breakfast. We got 4 types, cheese, ham and cheese, samosa and spanakopita and then a dedito which is basically similar to a mozzarella stick but feels "healthier" (not really just feels that way :p) from the pastechi, the samosa tasted more like a samosa but the spanakopita, while good, could not compare to a Greek spanakopita. It was good, just that it has to compare to a dish I know well. My favorite was the plain cheese one. Nice breakfast that was fast and cheap. Will definitely go back for another visit before we leave our vacation here.

Liked it! Tried pastechi for the first time and they were really good. I ordered 3 of them, chicken, beef and Indian samosa. There are many others on the menu but they were out of most of them, so the choices were a little more limited. One person takes you order and the other person in the back seems to do all the prep work. I took almost 20 minutes to get what looked to be pre-made pastechi. However, they are good with a soft middle and a light crunch on the outside. The filling inside is very finely chopped meat. Because there isn't much filling, you should order more than what you think you need. I ordered three and probably could have eaten five more.

I must’ve came here on the dead season because the whole area I only seen about 3-5 people around, besides the people I wouldn’t make this a must stop to eat one of these that they sell all around the island. The pastechi tasted ok the dough tasted the best and the server didn’t even ask if we wanted any sauces on the side.

I absolutely love this place! We make it a point to visit LG Smith Steakhouse every time we come to the island. They add personal touches to every drink, preparing it for you at your table. You can choose your preferred cut of steak. I recommend making a reservation, but they will do their best to accommodate you if you walk in.

LGS is one of our favorite places thanks to Niyazi! It has such a lovely atmosphere, amazing high-quality cocktails, and the food is always delicious. We love coming here with our friend — the service is absolutely incredible!

The steaks are amazing! We ordered two 22oz cowboy ribeyes and they came out rare just as we asked for. The staff are very friendly and welcoming it’s a great place to eat at. We didn’t have a reservation so we showed up at 6pm when the place opened and they sat us right away. I’d recommend making a reservation just to be safe.

I seen and heard mixed reviews and was skeptical but I enjoyed the dinner and scenery. Table side mixologist was dope. Waiter was on point and food recommendations were valid. Everything I ordered was good to include the drinks. My ribeye couldve been a little more tender but the flavor made up for it. Oh and the bread, they need to start over on that and come up with something different. Recommended for a regular dinner and/or a celebration.

@Eat_this_review on ig Absolutely a 5 star restaurant. The service was stellar. The food was well beyond my expectations. There was great showmanship with not only each dish but the mixologist visited every table and made custom drinks.

This place is amazing! The food and drinks were amazing! I got the salmon with asparagus and chimichurri on the side. Devine. The mixologist swung by and made us some amazing drinks-I got the smoked old fashioned and it was a performance. Great place to propose ;) My fiancée is still looking out the window for Smokey the Dolphin.

This was a disappointing experience. Service was alright but it took quite the time for us to get our food. The steak has no flavor; had to constantly put salt on it. Ordered a soup and it tasted like frozen seafood and vegetables. The fritters were fried too hard; pork belly was too fatty which was overpowering as it wasn’t too tasteful. It was freezing inside, made it uncomfortable (no we weren’t half naked)

Lovely spot, friendly staff. They have a resstaurant area and a bar area, but are mostly known for the bar, drinks, and live music, party. We went there twice for a dance and once for dinner, where we had a great spot with our feet in the sand and a lovely mahi mahi as cattch of the day. It tasted super fresh, meaty, and came with a selection of vegetables which was a nice surprise in aruba

Great local spot. We had breakfast there twice on our visit to Aruba. Very reasonable on prices, and good service. They offer bottomless mimosas, as well as a breakfast buffet with an omelette station. You can then get chairs and an umbrella on the beach here, along with wait service all day. Beautiful beach too.

The perfect end to our last night in Aruba! Sitting beachfront with the sound of the waves was just the start. Our server Alan was simply amazing! He’s recommendations were spot on from the appetizers, mango smoothie to the flavorful pinchos which melted in your mouth. The live music took it to the next level!

We chose MooMba for our breakfast choice due to there all you can eat buffet for $16. The food was delicious just like a hotel breakfast. Getting the chance to eat on the beach definitely worth it. Only thing is you have to watch out for the birds but hey it just let you know that the food is just that good because the birds want it just as much lol. Great services and friendly vibes

Sat out on the beach on sand. Very peaceful, romantic. The sea was a few feet away with boats and sailboats. Food was excellent. Our server Allen was very attentive and friendly. Great cheesecake!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday football day at Moomba!! The manager Mark keeps an eye out and had room for arrangements for more seating in another part of the bar area. The food was delicious and service was fast as well. Juan was our server and accommodating/friendly.

Your typical beachside resort like you see in FL. Prices are in USD and are on par with US prices. Ordered the appetizer platter and Philly cheese steak. Good portion. Came back for dinner with friends and got their beef pinchos. Lordy, so good.

Horrible service at the bar, overpriced, mediocre food. My husband and I popped in around 8p.m., midweek, and felt fortunate to find seats at the bar, and plenty of tables available, despite being told upon inquiry that they were full with no reservations available until 10p.m. However, we soon realized why there were seats. While there were 3 people behind the bar, busily filling drinks, cleaning, or chatting with each other, not one bothered to greet us, As they made several passes near us to either drop a check or drinks off to couples beside us, they all avoided eye contact, not even bothering to acknowledge our presence with even a smile. After more than 5 minutes of watching with building annoyance, we were about to leave when the couple beside us engaged us in conversation. After at least 5 minutes of conversation, one of the bar tenders plopped down two menus in front of us without saying a word or even caring to ask if we would be dining or just having cocktails. Eventually we got his attention to give him an order, at which point he finally asked if we wanted a drinks and then brought us water. While waiting for our food we saw two other couples get up and leave after being ignored. When our food came, it was okay, but definitely overpriced. We ordered two escargots, a chicken parm and a salad. The escargot came quickly in a nice presentation and tasty sauce, but was barely warm. The chicken was two paper thin pieces covered with sauce and what looked like one slice of mozzarella cheese on each (no pasta included). The arugula salad was tasty but small portion. The only reason I gave this place one star was for the ambiance, and what I imagine would be amazing sunset dining. With so many other great places to dine in Aruba, I would avoid this place, at least at the bar.

Beautiful outdoor Italian restaurant! Very friendly and attentive staff and server. Freshly made pasta, and a bruschetta that was extremely flavorful and out of this world. Kids had pizza and Alfredo, my husband the spaghetti al formaggio parmagiana and I had rigatoni Quattro formaggio. Exceptional. Desserts are a no go for Nut allergies however and the Violinist left before our birthday song.🤧 Otherwise 10 out of 10!

Azzurro exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable, and the host was just as outstanding—warm, welcoming, and attentive. The perfect dining experience in Aruba. Highly recommend!

Are you scrolling Azzuro’s reviews because one of your kids showed you a TikTok video of a giant flaming cheese wheel? The pros: the prosciutto and burrata appetizer was fantastic. The sunset was great. The whisky flambéd spaghetti was quite the sight to see. The cons: the olive oil tasted bitter and spoiled. We asked our server for a different bottle, but the second bottle tasted just as bad. You’re also paying for the sunset in your food prices.

Great atmosphere and a warm, welcoming staff. The food was superb—highly recommend the gambas al aioli (schrimp) entrée; absolutely delicious! Our waitress shared the specials with us, and they turned out to be amazing that evening. When I return, I’ll definitely be ordering the porcini mushroom ravioli again.

🇦🇼🍝 Phenomenal dining experience at Ristorante Azzurro in Aruba! Every dish was a hit — from the pasta with clams to the chicken parmigiano to the tableside pasta tossed in a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano. The presentation of the charcuterie and burrata was next-level, and the escargot was a fun and flavorful surprise. Gorgeous setting and unforgettable food. Thank you Courtney Herbert Hesch for the recommendation! This spot is a must-visit! 🇦🇼🍝

All I can say is everything was 100% amazing. The atmosphere, staff and food was incredible. It was our first time dining here and we will now always return! The waiter Patrick was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food and its presentation was just incredible. Have no doubt just go. The setting can’t be beat. Sitting and overlooking the beach!

Have never had anything less than an amazing meal here. Tonight was no exception. The food and service are amazing, and worth the high price in my opinion. Tonight we had a cosmopolitan and a great glass of Sauvignon blanc, shared a chopped salad which had greens, eggs, blue cheese, croutons, and unsure what else. For our dinner we shared the small seafood tower with king crab, lump crab, large shrimp, and lobster. Served with remoulade, cocktail sauce, and drawn butter. ONLY issue with the meal was that the drawn butter was chilly. Also shared baked potato with the accoutrements on the side. Passed on dessert but had a cappuccino. Wonderful meal even for a non-meat eater. Treat yourself!

Absolutely perfect dining experience. The restaurant is very nice. The food and the service are excellent. They have a good selection of wines as well. It is truly a great dining experience. All the dishes are exceptional. Specially the Ahi tuna. Just perfect. The lamb chops are nice and juicy and it’s a very generous portion. The top sirloin is also great. And the lobster mac and cheese is delicious. And of course dessert. The double chocolate is my favorite. It’s truly a great dining experience specially with that good service.

We had an extraordinary dinner. We ordered the porterhouse for two adults and one 10 year old. It was enough for everyone! I would go for medium rare plus. The. As a side the potatoes and Cesar salad were terrific. For dessert go for the apple strudel and the creme brulee.

Ruth’s Chris is hands-down my favorite steakhouse on the island. Every visit is a treat, and tonight was no exception. Their ribeye is perfection—juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like it. I always pair it with the sweet potato casserole, which is out of this world—creamy, rich, and topped with perfectly roasted pecans. One of their best-kept secrets? The beef carpaccio. It’s not on the menu, but if you request it in advance when making your reservation, you’re in for a real treat. It’s the best I’ve had anywhere. Tonight we also tried the calamari for the first time and it was AMAZING—crispy, tender, and bursting with flavor. My husband had the lamb chops and was equally impressed. We ended the meal with their cheesecake, which is the perfect finish—smooth, rich, and absolutely delicious. Huge shoutout to Carlos and Sergio for the wonderful service. They made our night extra special with their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism. Highly recommend Ruth’s Chris Steak House Aruba for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

Great service, food and drinks. The waiter was personable, friendly, and prompt. We have heard of Ruth's Chris steak house before but this was our first time trying it as there isn't one by where we live. Im glad we decided to make our first experience here our anniversary dinner while on our anniversary trip in Aruba as it was perfection.

Amazing meal…every single time! Great service, wine and food. Recommend the half seafood tower and one steak, then split everything.

We really enjoyed the restaurant, even though we were staying at the Ritz. Better than BLT. Steaks cooked perfection and attentive service. An enjoyable experience.

The Sunset Grill inside the Hilton which was built in 1959. We visited this restaurant in November 1977. Wow. Did the prices go up! But, all seriousness aside, it’s like visiting a Ruth’s Chris or Capital Grille and just as good in quality, service and ambiance. Go for the 10 oz filet for $68 vs 6oz for $60. Salmon was excellent cooked to order. Cauliflower steak awesome as well. At our age we probably will never be back but you never know.

Truly a hidden gem on the island. It was my first time visiting and it did not disappoint. Chris, our server was very attentive. The porterhouse steak was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Honestly, one of the better hotel restaurant meals I’ve had in a while. I would eat 5 loaves of this bread just by itself. The chicken was delicious too.

This restaurant is located inside of the Hilton and it’s simply beautiful here. The view at sunset is really nice and the atmosphere is great as well. The food was a lot better than I expected (including items from the kids menu). One daughter had the chicken tenders and the other had a personal pizza. I tried both and was pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality. My steak was delicious and my husband enjoyed his meal as well. A bit pricey but we enjoyed everything.

Had an opportunity to dine in with family. Sunset vibe, food and service was beyond excellent. We were wowed from start to end. Excellent

Food and atmosphere was amazing!! Service was out of the world with Juan. We arrived early at 5:30 and got the BEST one on one service.

Wonderful place for dinner. We got to watch the sunset as we sipped our drinks. The tuna appetizer was very flavorful. The steak cut like butter. The food was on point. Worth the visit for delicious food and great views.

when you factor in the price, this was a disappointing experience. the service was friendly but the quality of food is just not good. the popovers were nice and the seafood platter came with a good amount of crab, but my half was steak was overcooked, the patatas bravas weren't anything special, and the asparagus was undercooked and underseasoned.

Had a good dinner here. Staying at the hotel so it made sense just to try it. Porterhouse was nice. Food was excessively expensive but hey it’s at the Ritz. I enjoyed the experience.

My steak was a little undercooked, yet the portion massive so I had leftovers. Next day I noted a good hunk of it was almost raw and I had an upset stomach. I should have asked for some money back. The BBQ corn was really good but maybe a little spicy. We liked the atmosphere but noted a few guests wore baseball caps and were dressed as if they came off the beach. Loved the pop overs and the service. I’d rate 3.4 overall.

Our waiter Dennis went above and beyond, he was the sweetest and very knowledgeable. I loved the cowboy steak medium rare with the peppercorn sauce. The steak was very soft and melted. The Kansas steak was delicious as well but very different. It was a little more tougher. The truffle Mac and cheese was delicious. The onion rings were good but unnecessary. We did not get dessert but omg the menu sounded amazing! I enjoyed the 689 wine, it was dry and semi sweet.

Nothing was impeccable, but everything was good. We tried the scallops, poke tuna and oysters.

Finally a 5* experience on this island! Where do I even start? First of all, the staff were great. Super nice and welcoming. The place was beautiful and clean. And the smell of the food walking in made you wanna sit down and order already. Wine selection was the only disappointing part, as I’d rather have other French vineyards holding a good Chardonnay (beside the Louis latour they’ve got which is my lease favorite one). The bread was exceptional. I’m not a bread person and don’t like bread. But that bread was unreal. The oysters were fresh, but not that great. The tuna tartar was fresh and nicely seasoned. Now the meat, we’ve ordered the porter house and the cowboy. The cowboy was phenomenal and made to perfection. Where there porter house was over cooked and needed to be changed to a new one. On the second time it was cooked correctly and was great. But the cowboy was 100 times better. The max & cheese and mash were so good that I couldn’t stop eating them! Will defo go back!

This establishment came recommended from Google based on ratings as one of Aruba’s best steakhouses. NOT! I was completely underwhelmed and disappointed. I ordered the Dover Sole (overpriced, overcooked and under seasoned), the sautéed green beans (overcooked and tasted like they had been sitting out all da. Not made to order fresh), Short ribs (tender, cooked well, under seasoned). The service was good, seated immediately, the ambience was relaxed and quiet and you’re given a Chef’s choice upon seating…we were offered Duck Liver Pate (it was decent). Overall very overpriced and food wasn’t great… except for the bread. They gave us a complimentary piece of cheesecake because we complained about the food, so I give them a 3 based on customer service NOT food.

The staff were welcoming and attentive, making the experience pleasant overall. While the service stood out, I found the pastries to be a bit underwhelming compared to the hype. They looked great but didn’t quite deliver on flavour or freshness. That said, it’s still a nice place to stop by for a quick bite or coffee, especially if you’re in the area and want a relaxing atmosphere.

A local told me that this was the best bakery on the island. While I don't know about that, it is fantastic! I've had both the sweet and savory things there and everything has been fantastic. Be prepared to wait in line as it is always packed!

The ham & cheese pastechi was tasty, but the beef pastechi was dry, scanty and flavourless. The vruchten gebak was perfectly sweet, unfortunately tasted slightly stale.

Great local bakery. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Pastries and pastechi were good.

I love how much they have grown over the years. Lovely space and decoration. The mini pastechis were great and that beautiful tiramisu cake was amazing. My only suggestion would be to add an additional step to the two steps going to the pizza area. Someone could take a tumble because they are very steep.

Great bakery with a good selection of cakes, sandwiches, and soups. Friendly staff, affordable prices, indoor seating.

Amazing pastechi and pastries. Staff is extremely kind and it's worth every penny. Would definitely come back if I'm ever on the island again.

We were pushed into using this bakery by the hotel where we hosted our wedding. It was a $600 wedding cake, and it was undoubtedly the worst wedding cake I've ever tasted. The cake was dry, coarse, and crumbly with thin, gritty icing at the tasting two months prior to the wedding. We hoped, based on the hotel's insistence and our feedback, that it would be better at the wedding. It was in fact WORSE. I don't have our wedding video back yet but I'm hoping our faces don't show how sour we felt about this cake during our cake cutting. The wedding cake being so bad at my own wedding was embarrassing. I'm an avid baker and cake is my favorite dessert. We asked for a very basic look - white frosting with florals that they purchased - so it LOOKED fine. But I could have gotten the photo op moment for a lot less than $600; the point was that I wanted to feed our guests a good cake! Thank goodness we ordered other desserts. Do NOT use this bakery for any event that is special to you. You are literally better off with a sheet cake from Super Food. Photos are from our tasting. It's hard to depict taste but you can see how much they skimped on icing and how crumbly the cake is.

Was just telling my husband that I haven’t seen a bakery on the island and then suddenly we stumbled on this gem! The club sandwich was the best club I’ve ever had! Prices are very reasonable and pastries were delicious!

Not bad. Stopped by in the way to the beaches. Grabbed some desserts. Little confusing on how to order, but was good and very reasonable priced.

Oldest bakery on the island, our first visit here (to the bakery). We will definitely have to go back. We didn't have much time, so we both tried a pastry this time. Next time I would like to have more time and try breakfast or lunch. Pastries all look delicious.

Imagine giving this local company multiple chances, and still you dont get the service that you payed for. Years ago they completely did not make my baptism desserts. Then for my son's 3rd birthday did not do the cake in the color palette that I asked for. Last year came to the store gave them an inspiration picture, with some modifications (asked for red fondant). Disappointed me with not following through with the modifications. They simply said too bad, to try next year, via email, to avoid issues. Low and behold, this years cake again not doing what I asked. Anywho, I used to vouch for bright bakery, due to locally owned, and fair prices. But I guess not anymore. And even when telling them about their mistakes, they try to blame the customer. If you have something important try someone else like Cesar's cakes, at least he does what you ask for.

Tried Huchada twice but the line was out the door both times. Bright Bakery is just down the road. We had pastries one day and a real breakfast (French toast, eggs, omelettes) the other. Service was good TAKE A NUMBER WHEN YOU GO IN. Prices more than fair compared to breakfast in the hotel areas.

They made multiple errors and didn’t attempt to fix or compensate for it. The cake also didn’t taste good. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this bakery. I wish I didn’t waste my money ordering my birthday cake from this shop.

Super good food within a good price range and Also incredible gelato! A huge thumb up to the super friendly staff as well, both the chefs and Noami!! Awesome service!!!❤️

What’s up with the açaí bowls here? I think they’re frozen. I was so disappointed after I watched the smoothies getting blended up to see a guy bring me a bowl from the kitchen with a hard center. It also came with a bunch of dried coconut on top, which I don’t like and was not listed as an ingredient. Skip their bowls and walk down the beach to Eduardo’s. Seems like this was madam some other time and frozen, you’ll be sitting for 20 min waiting for it to thaw

Very nice ice cream but very expensive for just simple ice cream. We did go twice though. The hotel is a very nice place to enjoy your ice cream.

Absolutely delicious! I would recommend this to friends and to anyone visiting the island. This is probably the best gelato in town. It’s made fresh every single day and it’s got no artificial flavours or colours. The service is also great, there’s a lot of patience and respect while you are trying out the different flavours. The location is inside the Marriott Stellaris so you can grab your gelato and have a seat in the lobby or you can go outside. I would recommend coming here after dinner, around 8pm, once the lobby is turned into a hot spot. The gelato itself has a really good texture and the flavours are delicious! A little more on the expensive side, but so is everything in Aruba. You have to live life and enjoy the happy times in the Happy Island!!! :)

Best gelato I’ve ever had, this place is unbelievably good. The mint chocolate chip and the cookies & cream were heaven on earth; rich, creamy and just an incredible treat. Service was a little rude though and the line gets long at night

The gelato station in the Marriott Resort is stellar. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service is quick and they move customers in and out of line quickly. The one problem is that there is not a lot of space around to sit. Even though you may be eating your gelato standing up, you will certainly enjoy the many different flavors they have to offer. Definitely a must have on your Aruban vacation!

The workers are very patient and kind, but the ice cream... Too good to be true...

Best Dutch pancakes ever!!! I have no shame, we ordered one and went right back in line to order another. It’s tht good! We got the stroop and cinnamon and they did not disappoint! The stroop has this tasty syrup that was unique and yummy! Def a must try!

I think I went here 4 nights in a row. These are great. Light and fluffy, tons of different topping options. Definitely a very touristy spot but worth the try!

The friendly, welcoming, and patient service at Pofferdorie is top-notch. With a wide variety of flavours to choose from, Coffe & Cream stands out as the best for me.

This was literally one of my favorite dessert places in aruba. Its not located where google maps says it is so maybe thats why the line wasn't long. I think this place should be more popular than the gelati spot that was getting all the attention. Anyways Im hlad it wasn't overcrowded because I returned on several occasions. It actually located behind Fat Tuesdays and in front of the Speakeasy.

An amazing service with a smile, Reckless (s/o for the extra powdered sugar 🤪) Only positive energy around here! Had a Nutella poffertjes - AMAZING!!! A high recommend to visit the spot!

A true experience. The preparation itself is artistry, with the chef tossing around the toppings. The pancakes come warm fresh off the grill. There's a reason Kira's secret sauce is a favourite — all the flavours are subtle and blend well together. Highly recommend for a dessert in Palm Beach.

Do not order the gluten free if you have an allergy. I have been sick for over 24 hours. They were DELICIOUS and the gentleman that runs the stand is a treasure. But THESE ARE NOT SAFE for anyone with an allergy or Celiac!

I got the Raffaello ice cream and my husband had the cookies & vanilla milkshake. The ice cream tasted good, but the milkshake tasted more like milk than a shake. Our total came to around $17 which felt a bit overpriced for what we got. It’s definitely a cute spot and a nice experience if you want to try something different while in Aruba, but for the price, I expected a bit more flavor.

We went here multiple times! The line moves fast. Price is reasonable. Waffle cones so fresh. Loved the flavor selection!

Leaving a review for la dulce vita as they are connected. We came for evening lattes and people watching twice during our stay - we had to return for Johns coffee! He always served us with a smile and made the best iced latte I’ve had on the island! John is kind and quick. He deserves a raise! Thanks John for making such a great coffee addition to our evenings in Aruba

Nice cozy place for gelato.. highly recommended to sit at the top of the bus of find space .. we enjoyed this place a lot ..

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Sweet Oasis in the Heart of Aruba Gelatissimo Bus is a charming gelateria housed in a vintage double-decker bus, offering a delightful array of homemade Italian gelato. The variety of flavors caters to all tastes, including options for those seeking dairy-free or vegan treats. The dark chocolate gelato, in particular, stands out for its rich and creamy texture.   The setting is both unique and inviting, making it a perfect spot to unwind and savor a sweet treat after a day of exploring. The staff are friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. For those seeking a moment of joy and indulgence, Gelatissimo Bus offers a delightful escape. With appreciation, Akashic Records and Family constellation therapy @dayanalopezfamilyconstellation

Service was fast and pleasant. The gelato was delicious. And the double decker bus seating was such a whimsical experience

My husband and I loved this place! Went there twice during within 3 days. The lemon sorbet was amazing. Other recommended flavors: pistachio, Ferraro Roche, Oreo, strawberry and mango.

Came for Thursday breakfast. Park in front of restaurant or on the side. I ordered a scrambled egg. Here, the eggs are fried/scrambled and then the veggies are placed in the middle of the 2 egg scrambles. Mushroom was added by the cook after it was already cooked and I was not aware until she told me. Fortunately, I had no problem with that :) They did not have salsa to add but it was still all good. Came with a delicious bread, that I TORE up lol My friend had somekind of breakfast sandwhich that he Loved. He was also given an extra heaping of bacon and apparently the potatoes were delish!

Worth the wait! Not a lot of breakfast options in the area, we stumbled upon this little cafe, which has plenty of outdoor seating and a solid breakfast menu to start your morning off with a wonderful savory kick. Handmade arepas and empanadas were fantastic. Go for the full house arepas, with madam Jeanette hot sauce and/or a nonspicy garlic dipping sauce.

Need a place to relax and chill ooo yeah house of cakes the food is outstanding great flavors

A lovely little local bakery with a large variety of cakes by the slice . The Gentleman behind the counter was friendly and super helpful with an amazingly outgoing charming character. We loved the Cheese Cake and the Cashew Pete cake and plan to go back to try the breakfast buffet. But even if I didn't love my slice of cake (which I did 😋) we both agreed the host at the counter was so much fun we would go back again .

Bought some slices of cake that looked good. My son was eating one and said it didn't taste too good. Looked at the bottom and it was covered in green and blue mold. I gave them 2 stars only because they gave me a refund for the cake immediately.

We went for breakfast and ordered the scrambles eggs and the omelet. Both came out way to salty. Coffee was weak and looked like the coffee grinds from yesterday. Since this was our first time we gave them 2 stars as we will give them another shot. After that we will review them again

Fresh and delicious cakes. Best on the Island. All you can eat breakfast buffet on weekends for 20 florin (about $12). Just Incredible. Will be going back soon.

This is disappointing to a well-known CINNABON franchise, in which it is neglected. The cables are dirty, the cables are hanging, the ceramic of the logo is broken, the employee is eating while she is working food for the clients, the table where I sat is not fixed, I had to put a napkin to stabilize it, the disposable coffee cup says Merry Christmas from Juan Valdez, another franchise and we are in the middle of 2024, that is why they go bankrupt, for not supervising and taking into account the value of the customer when they visit the store.

A very nice cup of coffee and amazing dessert. Definitely the place to go extremely intimate. It was cozy. The staff was fabulous and very helpful. And even help you decide which one would be best for you.

The ice cream was very savory and delicious. It was a little like gelato, so it was chewy.

Today at 4:00pm i ordered entered the building with my daughter. She ordered an ice cream and then i was waiting to pay for the ice cream and order a cup of coffee. I mentioned my order to the employee. I noticed she took someone's else order who came after me. Then proceeded to take the order of the other after that. I then interjected and she ignored what i was saying. I then mentioned it again and highlighted the unfriendly customer service. No apologies was given from her. Her other colleague who was there for some reason she seemed not even able to help me to pay for the item as she was not able to operate the cash register. Moreover, as i was complaining in English she proceeded to speak Papiamento to me of which i do not understand. Cinnabon is located in a tourists area of which the island of Aruba is as well. Refusing to speak English back to me and overlooking me multiple times is beyond unacceptable. Worst customer service ever experienced. She was operating so slow with no enthusiasm in her work.

The place I drank a Chocolate Shake and at the next table there was Elon Musk who came on vacation through an ARUBIAN from from our Dutch Kingdom named Eward Cheung; Director of NASA!! WAWSOME IT WAS!!

It’s not fresh just premade. It was fine though.

worst service I have ever experienced, unfriendliest employees ever.. never coming again

We enjoyed a scoop at the this location, although one puzzling piece was seeing 30c for cup on the price list in the store, so I assumed they charge 30c for a cup which I thought would be ridiculous because how else would you get your ice cream but that charge was not included on our receipt so not sure what that was for …maybe you asked for an extra to share your ice cream? Nonetheless the ice cream was great and the area outside is nice too for seating and walking.

Don’t bother getting a milkshake unless you want overpriced flavored milk. Absolute waste of 25 dollars (yes that is correct) for two milkshakes. I just saw a review from about 2 years ago also about the extremely thin overpriced milkshakes and clearly nothing has changed 🤣. Straight robbery. Also the employees seemed very bothered by us taking a few minutes to figure out what we wanted(and we moved out of the way to do so).

Great quality, delicious ice cream. Look at that huge scoop I have received!

Lady was rude as hell. She has some nasty attitude. I spoke English but it looks likes she didn't understand me so I spoke Spanish, Again no reaction still same old attitude and on top of that I ask for rainbow sprinkles not cholocate and did I mention she grab the sprinkles with her hands???! 🤮🤮

Häagen-Dazs Aruba - High Rise Section ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been coming to Aruba for the past 15 years, with more than 20 visits, and every time I return, Häagen-Dazs in the high-rise section is a must-stop for me. This location holds a special place in my heart, and a big part of that is thanks to Elizabeth, the incredible manager, who always welcomes us like family. She and her staff consistently provide top-notch service, keeping the shop impeccably clean and inviting. I always indulge in my favorite—cheesecake double scoop—which is, without a doubt, absolutely delicious every time. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and enjoy your favorite flavor. You won’t be disappointed!!

Tasty ice cream. However it is pricey for the amount you get. Very small scoops.

For two milkshakes, you need an unmotivated employee, a scoop of ice cream and, above all, a lot of milk. Enough for two well half-filled cups. Topped up with whipped cream. On top of that, an outrageously expensive price. Not a place you have to go to.

Decent little dessert place right in the heart of the Palm Beach nightlife area. For as busy as it was, the employee never complained and was friendly throughout the entire process and had excellent customer service. This place is a little on the expensive side for the price of a crepe if you ask me. The alcohol infused cakes are pretty good and priced average considering they get a shot of alcohol.

Had the apple pecan caramel egg-free crepe with a scoop of chocolate ice-cream! It was a delicious combination, but the bourbon infused apples were very strong. The staff was great and we enjoyed watching them make our order from start to finish. For the price, you get a lot!

This place was soooo good we came back the next day for another crepe! My favorite is Nutella and banana. Everything is made fresh to order and takes a bit of time. The menu is customizable to your liking. While you wait you can get great recommendations from the owner for what to see in Aruba! Service is great!!

This stand is in the Plaza across from the Holiday Inn. Nice Crepes for a change of a hotel breakfast, and cheaper. Alcohol infused Crepes as well, but went early (9am). Nobody really in the Plaza, which ok for me. The lady working was always friendly and made food as expected.

We came for a coffee after our snorkel excursion. It was okay, tasted very watered down for two iced lattes with caramel syrup- you couldn’t taste the flavoring and the coffee was mostly milk. It came out to $13 for two drinks.

Such a cute little hidden place with amazing crepes. It’s a must go to for a nice romantic morning spot to get coffee and freshly made crepes. We have even stopped here in the evening for a treat as we walked the town.

Ultimate dessert little place in Aruba! A french flair dessert cafe! Alcohol infused cake~it’s a MUST to try, Crepes and Omg! They use , one of my absolutely best coffee made from Torino ItaIia, called “ Lavazza “~very smooth taste the best! If you have sweet tooth like me, save some room for dessert. Cute little , fun , outdoor place🙏 Highly recommended. The owner Thesa is as sweet as the dessert🙏

Was a bit disappointed in the coffee and the price. I was expecting a note unique coffee shop, and this was soothing you'd expect at a mall in the States. They didn't have change for US dollars, so that took away from the experience. I was hoping they would have Freshly ground espresso, but it was prepackaged. Service was good but would look for a better place.

This was a cute place I stumbled across by walking around. I ordered a mango passion smoothie. I'm not sure how I felt about it. It was refreshing but very tart; I guess from the passion fruit. I've had passion fruit before but I don't recall it being that tart. It almost seemed as if there was no mango in the smoothie. Not a huge deal! Again, it was something refreshing to have on a hot day.

The coffee was pretty decent, but the service was very off. The person serving us that was a woman who was just very disinterested. Looks like she wanted to fall asleep when taking our order and did not provide any customer service.

The crepe and smoothie is disgusting and the attendant was rude. We Went to aruba on vacation and had no rude interactions my whole stay except this one. We went on 1/28 around night time , the lady wasnt helpful at all or happy to be there. Her Attitude just horrible it made us not enjoy it

Food was good, service was not the friendliest. She was not helpful with questions while i was trying to make my decisions of what to order. Pay attention to prices when you order. Getting 1- $4.50 crepe with strawberry and nutella was really $8 per crepe. Vanilla latte was actually pretty good, i wish the paper cup lasted long enough for me to drink it.

Ordered the chocolate banana milkshake and the acai bowl. Nothing spectacular but good. I will come back to try the iced coffee.

The freshly made waffles smelled great! Located in Arawak Mall, a very busy mall! Luckily there is free parking in back of the mall

This location is in the neighborhood food park, not in the High Rise hotel area. A bit expensive for a scoop, tastes like any other Gelato. There was no line..

Great alternative location to the Palm Beach one. There was no line here when we went after seeing an insanely long line at the Palm Beach location. There are other places to get drinks or snacks around as well. Music was playing but it wasn’t too loud or crowded. A nice little area as a whole.

Extra Slow service You will wait 15 mins for your turn with only 2 people ahead of you. Gelato was alright....

Awesome spot and NO LINE at 9pm!! Unlike the one near the highrise hotels! You have to try the Black Hawaiian!

CONS only one sample person PROS We returned 3 times over our week in Aruba & was never disappointed with every flavor we fully enjoyed.

It was okay, a little expensive for 2 scoops. We tried Mint Chocolate and Nutella, the Mint Chocolate was really good, but the Nutella had almost no flavour at all.

Delicious Nutella ice cream and tried the Black Hawaii. Will have it next time!

I was in Aruba last month with my hubby. This was so delicious and creamy! Best gelato I’ve ever tasted!

This became one of favorite hang out spots during our trip to Aruba. We ended up visiting it 3 times! 😊 friendly staff. Clean space. Beautiful decor with some of the company’s history. They are a bit pricy though. $4 for a scoop and they are pretty small scoops, especially for that price. Delicious options though so just order at least 2 scoops 🍦🍨

Extremely disappointing, this place is a joke. The ice cream tasted like plain sugar with no real flavor, and the milkshake was thin and watery—more like diluted coffee than a shake. Hard to believe this is the same brand they claim to be (Haagen-Dazs).

Always good and you know what to expect here. Just really good ice cream.

Nice flavors, nice cones, clean place, good service. Can be quite busy sometimes, so it must be good !

I generally don’t leave reviews for chains but I did want to mention that this place does rather decent takeaway coffee which is not that common in the area. The quality of the ice cream needs no introduction but if you’re jonesing for some java swing by here when other places are shut.

Haagen-Dazs is my favorite ice cream and I’m honestly very disappointed. I asked for a milk shake and after receiving the milkshake it looked like a cup of milk and was extremely thin. I asked to have it made over and I was given every excuse as to why it was like that and I was even told that it looked fine. I was told that the salt from the caramel melted the ice cream. The second milkshake was made without the caramel but was exactly the same, it looked and tasted like milk. I asked for a refund but the gentlemen told me he doesn’t do refunds. After going back and forth with him, he decides to give me a refund but then tells me the card machine isn’t working. Then he tries to give me cash but wanted to write my government ID number down. I shouldn’t haven’t been given a hard time but unfortunately I was.

Quick and fast service. They let me try a new flavor, but I decided to go with my favorite flavor. Also got a water, and some cookies which were yum. Great place to fulfill a sweet tooth!

So, there's this place that has the best desserts in Aruba. I had cherry and strawberry pies, and they were super yummy! I was craving pie, so I ended up getting three pieces.

Found this place by accident while making a u-turn so decided to stop in. Tried the pistachio and creme cakes. Both are light, airy, cloud-like, not the usually sugary icing.. Tasted also guilt free because they're so light and so good. Outside seating is beautiful as well. Stay for awhile and enjoy your cake. Definitely recommend!

Excellent place for a variety of cakes. A lot of local favorites as well as international flavors. The pistachio and cashew bati are wonderful! Family run business with exceptional service and a very high quality, a must visit on any Aruba trip. Ice cream and hot beverages are sold here as well, you can also order entire cakes for celebrations.

Had a lovely birthday thanks to the delicious pies I ordered here: The process was very smooth and everything went well. Will come back next time!

Awesome place for cakes, besides the regular cakes like chocolate, they have special flavors worth to try, I recommend the Bavarian cream and the Prunes with Bavarian cream. She was very kind serving us. They receive Cash and Credit Card.

The cakes here are phenomenal and I'm usually not a big cake person. The cake is light and fluffy. The icing is light and creamy. They have many varieties, you will have a problem picking your favorite. The tres Leche is excellent as is the Boston cream pie. The white chocolate and the pistachio are also favorites. Get here early, tgey sell out fast. I've not had a flavor that I didn't like so you can't go wrong.

The best cake I’ve ever had! I contacted Ruth in August about baking my birthday cake. I was nervous about the curse word but she agreed to bake the cake and it was AMAZING! I can’t forget to mention how nice and professional everyone was too. They’re awesome! The cake was so good I had to take the rest of it back home to the states lol. 10/10 would recommend!

Delicious cakes and ice creams. Everything is made from scratch. The gentleman who operates the truck was so kind and helpful. Go check it out. Only accepts cash.

Found this place while on vacation . So many choices and great service. Baileys ice cream Cake was amazing!

🍓🎂🥂💯💥🍰🍫😋

As a Colombian descendant, I found this place to be so genuine and rich in its product and service. Fruit and ice mixed with sweet condiments make for a scrumptious and refreshing edible. The ladies here were so serviceable and friendly. I recommend every tourist to come here. A cute business made right at their home.

This adorable little Heladeria (ice cream shop) is an Aruba gem! The experience is so much more than a cool treat. The owner welcomed us to her open air shop, she was super friendly and accommodating, explaining the different frozen concoctions and their flavor profiles. I am obsessed! We ordered the Lulada and the Cholado and were blown away with the flavors of both! The flavor of the Lulada (green) was a sweet citrus with a rhubarb tartness to it. Topped with a scoop of ice cream - it was *chefs kiss* deliciousness. The Cholado (pink) was a fruit salad extravaganza - mango and apple and dragon fruit - just to name a few. The shave ice was perfectly smooth and balanced the sweet bright pink drink. It’s a must try! We paid in US cash. Our bill, with tip, was $25 for these two giant frozen treats. Worth every penny - plus buying here keeps money in the local economy and supports a woman owned and operated small business. Go here to experience an authentic taste of Aruban / Colombian flavor! Highly recommended!!

Excellent columbian ice cream, very nice visual touch and warm service

Mango micheladas are a must try! Very authentic and delicious Colombian options!

We got 2 cholados con coco helado (with coconut ice cream) and it was delicious! This was off beaten path for us being tourists, but this heladería was very welcoming, friendly and informative! Would highly recommend

Nice fresh fruit called cholado. Mixed with raspao, and different fruit

Bad attention

Went by today and sadley they were not open. Ate your delicious ice cream at Mulligan's. Wanted to eat one more time before we left for North Carolina.

What a Great experience!! I'm not a vegan, but the Coconut / Key Lime was Excellent!!!! 👍👍👍👍
