Cappuccino, Aruba (2014)

Coffee culture in Aruba comes in several different forms. Recently, I enjoyed a very nice cappuccino at Piazza Italia at the Palm Beach Plaza Mall. Here’s a look at the kiosk:

There are various seating options there including at the bar or tables around the side with waiter service. They serve a unique kind of pizza that I will try another time. Here’s a look at the cappuccino.

This was a delicious cup that really satisfied. Please note, this place is operated by a couple of Italians who know their coffee. The espresso here is full power. So, if you’re looking for a little “pick me up” a drink and a casual place to watch people, Piazza Italia fits the bill.

Coffee 4U, Aruba

On L.G. Smith Blvd, the main drag connecting Oranjestaad to the hotel area in Aruba, you’ll find Coffee4U.

This is a great place for a quick jolt, a pastry, or some gelato as seen below.

That stuff is pure kryptonite and mighty tasty. Especially if you double down and go with something like a cappuccino as seen next.

Plus, the airco in this joint will cool you down. Stop in and check it out while roaming the island or looking for a place to meet. It’s all good.

Juan Valdez Coffee, Aruba

There is a Juan Valdez Coffee shop open in Aruba. It is located near the Alhambra Casino in the adjacent mall. I stopped in for a little treat this evening. Very good. Take a look:

The chocolate cake was nicely balanced. Not too sweet, not a hint of bitter flavor. Here’s a look at the case loaded with other treats for those of you looking for a bit of variety:
