Croissants, smoothies, arepas, hidden inside a colorful historic house in Oranjestad.

From the outside, Aruba Experience almost feels like somebody accidentally dropped a colorful little tropical hideaway into the middle of a regular city street. Behind the bright walls and plants is a beautifully restored cunucu house filled with smoothies, fresh pastries, strong coffee, brunch plates, and people slowly escaping the Aruba heat for an hour or two.

The atmosphere is cheerful without feeling touristy, with shaded courtyards, colorful details everywhere, and tables full of iced coffees, croissants, wraps, juices, and conversations about where everybody should head next on the island.

Parking in downtown Oranjestad is usually annoying, but this place actually has its own parking.

Keep exploring
