    This was our first breakfast out on our very first trip to Aruba. The service was amazing and friendly. The Dutch pancakes were absolutely out of this world. And I had my 1st cup of Dutch coffee which is a pressed coffee and I really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back

    This was the best and the fourth pancake house we went to on the island (better than the pancake house downtown, Diana and Fred’s, or Willem’s). Service was nice, pancakes were good (not to thick or thin, not greasy), and toppings were portioned correctly.

    Service was slow. But the Dutch pancakes were delicious! Our server was very sweet. Overall good experience. If your craving a glorified crepe aka Dutch pancake this is a must. We honestly couldn’t complain, our kids loved it!

    Early morning pick me up. Found pancakes. Dutch pancake’s that is, well specifically Linda’s. Quite the different from American-style pancakes. Thick vs thin. Lots of breakfast variety. The service was quick. Sat on the patio. Ordered a variety of pancakes. Very fulfilling. The fruit is so fresh on the island, so be sure to order. Couldn’t bear to eat all of my food, but it was plentiful. It’s not easy making thin pancakes, but surely found the magic. Oh yeah, do not go heavy on the, “syrup!” It is not the same in the US, way thicker and sweeter. Almost like molasses😳 Good experience, if you like different.

    My mom and I visit the island of Aruba every year, and this year we are here for a month. In our opinion, Linda's Dutch Pancakes is not only the best Dutch pancake place in Aruba, but also it is the most fun! There is ample, fast, free wifi which helps us out as digital nomads, and the outdoor seating has been expanded due to COVID. You can choose your own ingredients for your pancake (even from a range of ice creams, and by the way at least a few tables including ours was having ice cream for breakfast with their pancakes) or select from a pre-selected pancake menu of Linda's creations. Children love Linda's and their food is good - and the drinks are cheap. Just try to arrive before 9am on the weekends unless you like waiting in line. The place is THAT POPULAR. Oh and by the way, the owner Stefan is lovely. You'll have to say hello - and pay in bitcoin!

    Dutch pancakes! These are thinly made with fruit or filling baked inside of them. Awesome flavors and assortment of styles. Absolutely delicious. Bacon is quality also.

    I enjoyed this place a lot. The Dutch pancakes tasted great when combined with the Dutch syrup. The service was excellent and the staff was polite. Most importantly, the prices weren't too crazy and didn't break the bank.

  • 5/5 Gans K. 4 months ago on Google • 87 reviews
    Perfect place. The pancakes were very surprising. I've never liked dishes like this! But here they are cooked superbly and very tasty. I recommend. The cafe premises and hall are not large but clean. The service is friendly and calm. The staff and pastry chef know their job very well.

    Linda's Dutch Pancakes is a must! Our breakfast was absolutely the best. My husband went for the Farmer's Omelet and he really enjoyed it. I went for the Create Your Own and went with walnuts and blueberries. The best decision I made because it was so delicious. From the coffee, the pineapple juice to our food every item was so freaking good.

    The pancake is great, and the customization is awesome. I also appreciate their service too. The view is good. There is a parking lot so it’s very convenient for whoever rent a car. The only thing is everything else other than the pancakes and their signature are probably mediocre at best.

  • 5/5 Muge T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Dutch pancakes, thin and crispy on the edges. I tried the nutella with banana and strawberries. My husband’s favorite combination is mushrooms, gouda, walnuts. We came here multiple times and the consistency is admirable.

    Great Dutch style pancakes. Lots of different toppings to choose from. Prices are good too. Food is made fresh and comes out fairly quickly.

    Apple bacon pancake was really good. They may seem big but since they’re so thin they’re not overwhelming. The apples are cut thin and bacon is also thin so the sweet and savory flavors balance out well. Veggie omelet was also good. Would def come back to try to the sweeter pancakes.

    I didn’t really love it, maybe it’s me. The pancakes are more like thick crepes and I just want a fan. I like the customization, but mostly they just sprinkle the topping on top. I thought they’d be baked in.

  • 4/5 Tiffany D. 9 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere- it was Hot. Service was good. Between the gluten free upcharge and two toppings my pancake was $20. It was something to try. We just missed having a breakfast with eggs for that price. Waitress was great. Food tasted good (if you like Dutch pancakes). Pricey

    The customer service was amazing. You are able to pay in US dollars. The food is incredible, we had an outdoor seating and it was nice to feel the breeze and enjoy the meal! I highly recommend! It is also in town!

    So delicious we went back twice. Make sure to order the cheese and bacon pancake! Unlike the other pancake places in Aruba, this one cooks the toppings into the pancake instead of just placing on top.

    Excellent surprise. Very good Dutch Pancakes. Cooked to perfection. Great friendly service. We will return.

  • 5/5 Kaycie W. 7 months ago on Google • 117 reviews
    This spot was recommended to us by a local and didn’t disappoint. We loved the make-your-own Dutch pancake options. The mango was super fresh and my favorite topping on the pancake! Service was fast and friendly as well.

  • 5/5 Marta C. 7 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    Delicious! I still think I like the Dutch pancake house by the Renaissance better, especially since they have the silver dollar pancakes, but if you’re short on time this spot is still delicious! We had the apple and bacon pancake which actually works well together (I’d add cheese to it next time though!) And perk of this spot is there’s a parking lot! The coffee is good and the Bloody Mary was tasty but I’ve had better, but no complaints!

  • 5/5 César 2 months ago on Google • 34 reviews New
    Wonderful place. Be sure to get there early because lots of people go to this place. Also, they give you 10% off in their gift shop after you pay the bill. Definitely a must in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Rico H. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    First time having Dutch pancakes and this place didn't disappoint. The pancakes were excellent! Was only 5 mins from the hotel and only took about a minute to be seated when I arrived. The server was super friendly and attentive. Had the strawberry pancake and added coconut. Was one of the best pancakes I've ever had, and a great start to the day. Easy 5 stars! The only hiccup was they didn't take Amex. Just a heads up.

  • 1/5 dmitry m. 3 years ago on Google
    Got food poisoning, when came to confront the owner, he did not care and dismissed my complaint. Would never recommend this place. DUTCH PANCAKE HOUSE IS EXTREMELY BETTER!

  • 5/5 Jeanne J. 2 years ago on Google
    We love eating at Linda’s. The food is fabulous and the staff is so friendly. We bring all of our guests who visit us during our 3 month stay to Linda’s. It’s a big hit. From pancakes, to omelets to sandwiches, it’s all just great.

  • 5/5 Molly W. 2 years ago on Google
    5 stars for excellent service, shaded outdoor dining, and a fabulous walnut/honey/brie Dutch pancake. I would love to see them switch to using local honey, if they don't already.

  • 5/5 Diane C. 1 year ago on Google
    Got there around 9:45 and had a short wait. Had we known about the breakfast hours sign we would have planned better. The breakfast beverages were just as good as the pancake and omelette.

  • 3/5 Bryce H. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the Dutch pancakes - a brie, walnut, honey as well as a mango, papaya, pineapple. The pancake is more like a crepe - it came out a little cold - and the fruit was not integrated into the pancake. The "honey" was the same as the syrup on the table (Schenkstroop). Perhaps just personal taste, but they weren't my favorite. The service was very friendly and the food came out quickly.

  • 1/5 Abby Burgundy (. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is packed before noon so plan on waiting. They forgot about me so I waited way too long. I knew a couple parties had left so went to check status of my table and the place was empty really wish the waiting benches were in view so we can see emptying tables and that staff could see customers waiting. After my order no one came back to table to see how it was or if I needed anything and it wasn’t b/c they were busy. Perhaps Dutch pancakes aren’t my thing perhaps this whole experience just soured my tastebuds either way I wont be returning nor will I be recommending.

  • 5/5 Andy A. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious! We had breakfast there during the busy time of the morning and only waited a minute or two for a table. Staff was very friendly and food came out pretty quick. Would recommend stopping here for breakfast while in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Rob S. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was very good. The ham, cheese and mushroom pancake was delicious. The apple and raisin was a bit bland by itself, but really good with some of the syrup on it. Service was good but the prices were hard to beat. On an island where everything is mega expensive, it was nice to have a decently priced meal.

  • 4/5 Chris B. 8 months ago on Google
    Although the food was good, i thought the breakfast options were limited when comparing to The Dutch Pancake House. On a Tuesday morning around 945am, i was seated right away which was convenient versus waiting 20 minutes at the The Pancake House. Service was topnotch and location is good as well. I enjoyed a dutch pancake with strawberries, bananas and Nutella. The Nutella did come on the side which i wasn’t a fan of. Overall, good ex

  • 5/5 Bryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    my wife said this should be the first dutch pancake house to visit as it is the original or the first one in the island... all the dutch pancakes we ordered were amazing... it was our first time having one and so i guess this is a good start... linda's coffee was also good as per my wife... great place to visit no doubt...

  • 5/5 Brandon S. 5 months ago on Google
    Our first breakfast experience while visiting Aruba. This place was great. We were seated right away and started with Linda's coffee. We then decided to share a Strawberry and Banana Pancake with a side of bacon. Everything tasted great and was very delicious!

  • 5/5 Adam S. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Wow, the Farmers Omelet was massive, and delicious. By far the best omelet I have every had, all of the flavors taste so fresh and rich! Service was great as well! Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 David M. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty good, the combo pancakes are just ala cart options they built for you (same price) so don't choose one of them thinking you're getting a small discount. Schenkstroop was delicious at least I thought so ready of family didn't. I think one of our pancakes was a tad thicker and that one was better than the other one terms of consistency.

  • 4/5 Sonja W. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious Dutch Pancakes. I am not a pancake person but it was recommended that I try these and I was not disappointed. Options of sweet or savory, several juice options and even cocktails.

    Staff was amazing and the food was just as amazing. During our 4 day stay we visited Linda’s twice - the omelette is a must. Obviously, the Dutch pancakes are as well (banana, whip cream, and liquor syrup). Felt very clean and sanitized during our breakfasts. Line was very short and the longest I waited was under 5 minutes.

  • 2/5 Crystal P. 3 years ago on Google
    I’m only giving 2 stars because the food was ok. My omelette was dry and I was waiting on my waitress to return so that I can ask for sauce but she never did. My fiancé’s drink finished before receiving our food being that it took so long to receive it and no one ever asked if he wanted a refill. The customer service was HORRIBLE! There was a big party that arrived after us and they all received their food before we did. We didn’t even have a chance to complain being that the waiters did not even attempt to look our way. Save your money and go elsewhere if you would like to be treated with some sort of decency.

    Due to COVID had to wait a long time to eat my savory bacon and gouda cheese pancake! It was more delicious than ever! Service was excellent as usual! Next time I'll have my strawberries and ice cream sweet pancake! Was worth the wait!

  • 1/5 Rebecca M. 3 years ago on Google
    Stodgy and over-priced. Had we known the prices were in USD, we probably would have left during the time when the harried waitresses were clearing tables and taking payments. Nothing special about these pancakes. Mine was overly thick and not fully cooked. Couldn't get through more than half of it.

  • 4/5 Isaak N. 3 years ago on Google

    More like crepes instead of pancakes. Really good though! I had the Ham, Gouda with mushrooms pancake 🥞! When in Aruba, you should definitely hit this breakfast joint when you get a chance.

    The omelets were amazing and so was the pineapple coconut/ coconut rum Dutch pancake.thebprices were also great if you compare to other places on the island. Who would of thought rum on pancakes??? Great combination
