About this place
Old Dutch Bakery Aruba brings a distinctly Dutch bakery experience into the historic streets of downtown Oranjestad. Located at Wilhelminastraat 68, the bakery occupies a preserved historic house on a street with roughly two centuries of history. Aruba Tourism describes the concept as a blend of Dutch baking tradition and Aruban hospitality, with authentic recipes and high-quality ingredients, including products imported from the Netherlands.
The counter centers on artisan breads, pastries, and sandwiches, accompanied by specialty Lavazza coffee. Seasonal Dutch favorites also appear: recent business posts have promoted oliebollen, traditional erwtensoep, and freshly baked amandel staaf. That makes Old Dutch Bakery Aruba particularly appealing to travelers curious about the Dutch culinary influence that remains part of Aruba’s culture.
The experience is casual and suited to breakfast, a coffee break or picking up pastries while exploring Oranjestad. Indoor seating was introduced in 2025, adding a place to enjoy baked goods inside the historic property rather than treating it purely as a takeaway bakery. Recent visitors also mention sandwiches, cakes, croissants, and both sweet and savory baked goods.
