About this place

Aru-bean Coffeehouse & Brasserie starts with the coffee experience, offering everything from espresso and cappuccino to more distinctive creations such as Chuculati Pinda, Speculoos Latte, Dushi Honey Dream and the cocktail-style Three Bean Coffee. The concept as a cozy, brasserie-style café where guests can slow down over coffee, breakfast, lunch and fresh-baked treats.

The food menu makes Aru-bean more than a quick caffeine stop. Breakfast choices include the Sunrise Waffle Melt, Fully Loaded waffle, breakfast burrito and bagels, while later-day options cover paninis, focaccia, sourdough sandwiches, salads, yoghurt bowls and smoothies. Vegetarian and vegan choices are publicly listed, and the menu also offers oat and almond milk for coffee customization.

The main Sasaki location sits at Dr. J.E.M. Arends 27, close to Aruba’s hospital and Eagle Beach area. Its atmosphere is relaxed and casual, with indoor and outdoor seating suited to breakfast dates, quiet coffee breaks and light lunches. Aru-bean also operates a Harbour House location in Oranjestad, giving travelers another option closer to downtown.
