About this place

Coffee Break Aruba is a locally oriented coffee shop in the historic main-street district of downtown Oranjestad, making it a convenient stop for travelers exploring Aruba’s capital on foot. Its central Caya Betico Croes location places the café within easy reach of shopping, local businesses and the waterfront, so visitors can fit in a coffee stop without making a separate trip across the island.

The café is centered on the simple pleasure of taking a break over coffee in a relaxed setting. Its identity is much more local and neighborhood-oriented than a large international coffee chain, which makes it appealing to travelers who want to experience downtown Oranjestad at a slower pace.

Coffee Break Aruba is particularly practical in the morning and afternoon, with weekday service beginning at 07:00 and Saturday service beginning at 07:30. The daytime schedule makes it suitable for a pre-sightseeing coffee, a quick breakfast-style stop or an afternoon refreshment while shopping downtown.
