What our guests are saying
I love this place. The smoothie bowls are delicious, beautiful, and endlessly customizable. The coffee is also great, and don't sleep on the coco puck! Delicious to go snack. Everyone is also super friendly, and the dining area is spacious, comfortable, and always clean. And this is odd to say but they also have beautiful bathrooms!

Mayda and the staff at Aruba are the sweetest, so kind and accommodating! My loaded dream bowl was honestly just that… a dream! The shake was absolutely delicious, and the salmon sandwich was so good. I’m already thinking I need to come back just for the bowls and coffee… or maybe the hazelnut cappuccino. Actually, scratch that, I just convinced myself I need to fly back for the whole meal again! ☺️✨ Thank you Aruba bowls 🫶
