Top 3 Must-Visit Coffee Spots in Aruba
Aruba is home to some of the best coffee spots in the Caribbean. However, it can be tricky to find them. To make your search easier, here’s a guide to three coffee spots that will keep you fueled for all your adventures.
#1. Island Grind Coffee
Island Grind Coffee is the perfect coffee spot to fuel your adventures for a true taste of Aruba’s laid-back charm. The shop is near Oranjestad, so it’s easy to get to. Island Grind proudly roasts its beans locally in Aruba, using 100% Arabica coffee beans that are sustainably and responsibly sourced. Each batch is roasted with care to honor the hard work and dedication of the farmers who grow it.
Island Grind’s menu is versatile and features everything from velvety cappuccinos to refreshing cold brews. Their tropical-infused latte, with a hint of coconut and vanilla, is a fan favorite—perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny morning. If you’re feeling adventurous, try their specialty iced mocha, which perfectly balances rich chocolate and smooth espresso. The café’s relaxed vibe and friendly baristas make it a welcoming stop for tourists and locals. Grab a coffee to-go before hitting the beach or enjoy a quiet moment on their patio.

#2. Craft Coffee & Bar
Another one of Aruba’s best coffee spots is Craft Coffee & Bar. If you’re looking for a coffee spot with a little extra buzz, add this spot to your list. Whether you’re a die-hard coffee enthusiast or just looking for a casual place to hang out, Craft offers something special for everyone. This place is known for expertly brewed espresso drinks and a laid-back, trendy atmosphere. The signature cappuccino is a crowd favorite, but don’t stop there—try the specialty lattes or an iced Americano for a refreshing twist. Craft also offers a range of teas, juices, and smoothies to refresh you.
One of the best things about Craft is how it shifts from day to night. During the day, it’s a bustling coffee shop perfect for catching up on vacation plans or just people-watching.

Santos Coffee with Soul is a local favorite in the heart of Oranjestad. The shop was founded in 2017 and offers more than just coffee—it’s an experience. Inspired by a trip to Japan, founder Stefan created a rustic yet modern café with wood accents, black steel windows, and glowing string lights. After multiple trips to Colombia searching for the perfect bean, Stefan discovered the key was pairing high-quality Colombian beans with Aruba’s crisp tap water. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the vibrant energy of this local favorite. Santos Coffee with Soul became so popular the coffee shop opened a few more branches!
Santos’ signature flat white is a must-try, balancing creamy textures with rich, bold flavors. For something more refreshing, their iced caramel latte hits the spot, especially on a sunny Aruba afternoon. Santos takes pride in sourcing high-quality beans and brewing each drink to order. Sit down for a coffee or grab a cup to go. Be sure to try some of the tasty menu items. Santos has vegan-friendly options on its diverse menu.
