    A cute place and the only vegan one in Oranjestad, Aruba. The staff is full of love and care. The food is healthy and light. The smoothie bowl reminded me of eating melted ice cream. The toppings were sparse. I think the toppings makes a smoothie bowl great. The rice was not cooked well for the sushi vibes bowl but overall it was a decent lunch that we were grateful for as the cruise ship vegan options were terrible. It’s a nice place to stop by for a little vegan joy.

    This place is so nice and relaxing to have a plant based meals! . You can come do Chilling healthy food and beberages. They are very nice people also and have creative ideas for making tasty VEGAN dishes. And we loved the name "One Happy Bowl".

    We were excited to find this vegan restaurant on the island and enjoyed the food so much we returned for more before heading to the airport. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Appreciated having so many options for "create your own bowl". Friendly staff and spacious, inviting atmosphere. Initially we were unsure of its location as the gps takes you to the cultural center and there are no official business signs for rhe restaurant. However this is exactly where they are. Upon entering the building you can't miss the scrumptious aroma of yummy food and will find them in a room to the right. They shared that this is a new location for them and once settled, a sign would be placed outside. The facility is clean, neat and artsy. Parking is a bit limited directly in front of building but side street options are available. You will not be disappointed and will want to return😋

    Whenever I'm looking for a healthy and vegan meal I come here, Hans the owner takes very special care of all his customers. I also love that he has wellness projects that involve the community. Coming to OHB is a complete and satisfying experience. You can also book a yoga class with me through them and live the Natura adventure with me @naturayogui

    Good vegan food in an area dominated by non vegan food options. Cute and cozy space and fairly priced. I made my own bowl and it was tasty but my only suggestion is that they heat up the grains more. It was warm but I was hoping I would have a hot bowl with greens and sauce. Still giving them 5 stars because they have a wide range of options and not many places in Aruba have vegan food. And also the space is so cute.

    This place is the best. I've had the best cafe latte here on the island and I've been here many times. I also tried the fresh enegery bowl and added avocado and it was heavenly. My husband had watermelon tuna in his bowl and I was surprised at how delicious that was. Give this place a try, they're worth it!

    A delicious alternative to lunch menus heavy on burgers and fries. A cute place and friendly service. I am vegetarian and gluten-free and this was a real find for me. You pick the ingredients and one of their yummy dressings for your bowl. A few flavours of excellent local kombucha are also on offer.

    Top notch... short walk from the pier in the renaissance hotel area near Starbucks. Must try for excellent vegan food. Don’t skip the passion fruit ice-stick.

  • 5/5 Bluejay 1. 5 years ago on Google
    You get to create your own plant based bowl starting with a base of two rice options or Quionoa, then choose a plant based protein, 4 veggie additions, a sauce and another topping! I chose the lemon tahini for my sauce topping and it was amazing! Loved all the ingredients, they were very fresh and tasty!

    My bowl really did make me happy. Pick your ingredients from the board on the wall. I loved that the broccoli was steamed and not raw. Every ingredient had great flavor.

    I used to go here and have a coffee when our cruise ship docks in Aruba. I love the interiors and the service is impeccable. The owners are friendly and very accommodating.  I would love to try their healthy treats next time.

    You really do feel happier when you eat at One Happy Bowl! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, the food is healthy and absolutely delicious, and the service is impeccable. I've tried almost every item on the menu and none disappoint. They give a very personalized service by remembering their frequent visitor's choices and they even cater to pickup and delivery. Very happy this place opened in Aruba!

    First time in Aruba and this was our first stop after our flights in. The selection was INCREDIBLE! I have never seen so many veggie options in the caribbean. The Green Smoothie Bowl was yummy. We also ordered the Crunchy and Sushi Vibes with quinoa. So good, fresh, and clean.

    My wife and I had lunch and dinner at this fabulous little restaurant. A must for vegans or anyone who wants clean fresh and easy to digest choices. Hans and his wife have done a wonderful thing opening the only exclusively vegan place to eat in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 4 years ago on Google
    One Happy Bowl is a great choice for healthy eats. The cafe is has wonderful ambience and nice eating in or out. My favourite is zoodles with my choice of yummy toppings. When we visit Aruba every year we look forward to returning.

  • 4/5 Finn H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very healthy, but limited options and overpriced.

  • 5/5 Shuyan Huang, M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and I never got food poisoning while eating here multiple times since early November 2020. Now it is almost Christmas. My conch dish had large portions - I’m not sure about what one of the earlier reviews was talking.

  • 5/5 Răzvan D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice bowl options on the menu. Everything is vegan and yet, as a non-vegan, I never felt like the food was lacking taste, texture or consistency. I also enjoyed the fact that they offer standard bowl choices for those of us who can't decide which ingredients make sense together the best. The place is nice too, air conditioned indoors seating as well as a terrace.

  • 5/5 Tobias F. 4 years ago on Google
    The very best vegan place in Aruba! Been here after being tired of the ever same menus of fish, steak and pancakes. I can highly recommend the Crunchy Lover Bowl. It was amazingly fresh with just the right level of spicyness. If you enjoy healthy and delicious food with a nice Bali-vibe this is the place for you!

  • 5/5 Rebecca T. 4 years ago on Google
    This was the CUTEST food place I’ve ever been to in my whole life. The decor is soooo homey and the whole place has really good energy. The man who took my order was so nice and patient with my indecisiveness. I was sad I learned about it on my last day, but it was such a good eating experience. ❤️

  • 5/5 Jamie F. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stacey S. 3 years ago on Google
    I’m a meat eater, so I was skeptical of stopping here. Totally surprised. The spicy tempeh was really tasty and flavorful. The sauce pulled the flavors of the cold bowl together in a way you forgot it was raw. A must dine location in Aruba.

    We would like to share our experience with the restaurant for a reservation we made on the 26th of December 2020. We reserved from 5 pm to 8 pm for a baptism. However, we were asked to leave at 7.10 pm because of a double booking. Although the food was excellent, the service could have been a lot better.

    (Translated by Google) Good food, nice staff, not cheap. But everything is expensive in Aruba. Adds 15 percent service costs and the prices were higher on the bill than on the card.

    One of my favourite places to eat on the island! The food is always fresh and the people are welcoming. I love their weekly specials bowl (it has never disappointed me). It’s a safe haven for a vegan.

    Thankful for this place. Aruba is our to go place on the Caribbean and while the smarter and ethical businesses are adding vegan options all over the world, Aruba still has a way to go. One Happy Bowl is great place to I get delicious fast vegan food. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Nicole ten C. 2 years ago on Google
    DELICIOUS! Fresh and perfect if you want to eat vegetarian/vegan! They got oat meal (YESHH) instead of regular milk. I got the Crunchy Lover Bowl and the peanut sauce was amazing! There are so many options that I will definitely be coming back here!

  • 1/5 Oxana V. 2 years ago on Google
    I was here a year ago and really loved the place. Food was good as well as the service. I couldn’t wait to come back this year. However this year the food doesn’t taste as good as it used to and the service is terrible. Lady who was taking my order asked me twice to repeat my order, brought the wrong thing, didn’t bring the utensils and went to take care of other customers while i was sitting hungry with the food and no way to eat it. What a disappointment. Won’t be coming back.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is so good, clean, and consistent. My wife and I ate breakfast here three times. On our last day we were going to go to the Dutch pancake house, but the line was super long. But then we thought to ourselves, “why are we in this line when we know we love the food at One Happy Bowl? And it’ll make us feel good after eating there!” If you’re staying in the area and want healthy food, this is the place to go.

  • 5/5 Sean H. 1 year ago on Google

    Delicious, healthy, and vegan. I wish this restaurant was in the U.S! Had the chickpea omelette (looks like real eggs) and cauliflower wings. Also a smoothie.

  • 5/5 Nort van H. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    If you're looking for a great, healthy breakfast to start your day, look no further! They are located in the lobby of the cultural center, so it's a bit hard to find but it's worth the effort. We had two smoothie bowls and coffee/tea, the bowls looked so amazing and tasted great as well. The staff is really friendly, they love to help you if you have any questions about Aruba, and the service is great as well.
