    This place is busy and deservedly so. Be prepared to wait in line at least 15 minutes if you are not willing to wake up early. I first had the Fruit Delight (15.50 US) which had bananas, strawberries, and blueberries topped with powdered sugar. What I have to say that the toppings were fully ripe, not sour at all. The pancake was well done with some heft. I was fully satisfied with this. Yet I knew wanted more .... What I ate accompanying this meal was the scrambled egg and toast with sausages (9.75 US). Eggs were fresh and of a good portion. The sausages were a bit shriveled up and lean, but I expected that. Also comes with a side of salad with that Aruba tomato/mayo dressing. Toast was good. My friend had a serving of bacon, and as typical it was very crispy because it was deep fried. I suspect they this is the way that restaurants do it on this island. I had a great time eating here, and it deserves all the praise given to it.

    Best place for breakfast! We had the mini pancakes with Nutella which are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, and the savory season Dutch pancake. It was the best breakfast place on the island and we went back multiple times!

    Be prepared to wait in a long line to get a seat at this restaurant. The Dutch pancakes are scrumptious and the mini fluffy pancakes too. We loved everything we ordered!! My family is vegetarian, and when we sat down and saw the menu, we were a little worried we wouldn't be satisfied. But we were wrong. There was veggie Dutch pancakes options in the savory section and it was so yummy. The sweet options were just as delicious. Highly recommend trying this spot out. It's not a out of an ordinary restaurant in terms of thr atmosphere, but the food carries all the weight in my review. Wish they had breakfast burritos or sandwiches, that would be awesome.

    Savory dutch pancakes are such a great idea. This was incredible. HUGE amount of food, this was two meals for me. Quick service, we did not wait in line long. Waitress was super friendly... 10/10

  • 5/5 Jamz Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Very popular for brunch on Saturday, but they quickly got us seated. Service was great and helpful for choices. Dutch pancakes are large crepes with your choice of mixed-in ingredients. We scrimped on a side of poffertjets but quickly realized why it would have been better to take at least the full small order, delicious with Nutella!

    The food was delicious. So delicious, we went the next day as well for breakfast. The service that was provided was great too! We notice once seated that the line started getting pretty long. May 2022

    They messed up my order with less than 10 clients at the time I put it in. I ask for a “Delight” and a “Norway” and got a “delight with Nutella” and another delight. We found like ten of these little friends carefully sitting alongside blueberries, strawberries and banana chunks. Gross!

    Great pancakes loaded generously with toppings, great service, and delicious espresso drinks. It’s outdoor but covered. Very hot in dining area and also we had to wait a while in the sun without shade for a table. But it was so worth it! Delicious. Skip the non-pancake items such as scrambled eggs and bacon (they were mediocre at best). Absolutely a must-try on your visit to Aruba!

    I'm just going to say it: Dutch pancakes are essentially thicker folded crepes! And they are equally as delicious :) I ordered the strawberry banana pancake with nutella and I have zero complaints. Additionally they offer wifi which is extremely helpful for foreign guests who can't use cellular towers. Hot tea was a nice way to finish off the sweets.

I enjoyed every minute of this establishment, the open air, sitting watching boats pass by on the water over yonder, the server was friendly and accommodating to our requests..... the food was scrumptious n filling!!! Prices r reasonable. I would luv to hve a restaurant like this where I live in the US!!! Hope I get to visit again b4 I leave this tropical isle.... pics attached....

    Went here for breakfast, not certain how authentic it is but food was great as was the service. The staff was very attentive. The pricing wasn’t outrageous either which is a big plus when you are near a tourist site.

    Everyone seemed to rave about this place so we decided to give it a try. Needless to say we after that first day we ate most of our breakfasts there. Everything our group of 10 ordered always came out exactly as ordered and mouthwateringly delicious. If you like cheese try ordering scrambled eggs with cheese. They literally cook the eggs into the cheese and its soft and chewy and super cheesy. If you're looking for a great breakfast this is the place. The employees are also great about COVID standards. Everything is cleaned, employees are never without masks and they constantly hand sanitize. Made us feel a lot safer eating here vs some of the other restaurants in Aruba.

    Always a fun place to eat a wonderful breakfast. Great service. Always full, even after they re-opened for locals before the re-opening of the island's borders during the Covid pandemic. My partner's favorite place on the island to eat Dutch pancake. And he's had others to compare. Be there early!

    Horrible. If you want REAL DUTCH PANCAKES go to Linda's! This is some thick, doughy like version that had raw fatty bacon inside of it. We had the egg platter and that wasn't much better with frozen McDonald-like hash browns. If you're a tourist who is looking for an expensive Denny's / Ihop like breakfast...come here!! Otherwise, go to Linda's. They don't have eggs but everything else there is better --even the coffee. This place is a tourist trap for subpar food and service. I think many of the reviews are high because people haven't gone to Linda's first.

    Excellent service and quality!! Maybe you should take the Dutch pancake to go and eat oatmeal instead prior to a fishing boat trip - female sex and non-smoking status may be risk factors for nausea. However, don’t miss out on this restaurant and the nearby water with benches. To-go pancakes come in a pizza/pancake box!

    First of all, the pancakes are to die for, both savory and sweet. You definitely get what you pay for cuz each one is the size of a small pizza. The servers are also super nice and extremely attentive.

    Absolutely LOVE this place. Breakfast foods are my favorite & I haven’t had food this good in a long time. Latoya, one of the servers, was super sweet, helpful and kind. This is the place to go when you’re in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Paula H. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited Aruba for 5 days and everyone said the Dutch pancakehouse was a must see! To be honest I was not disappointed. Luckly for me they offer both vegan and non vegan options so both my husband and I were able to stuff our faces with the most delicious dutch pancakes on the island. If you must try dutch pancakes in Aruba definitely try The Dutch Pancakehouse you won’t regret it!!

    Read so many reviews about this place and agree with most! Very unique breakfast spot-everyone tried something different and all had goos things to say. Their pancakes are "crepe" style with all kinds of topping choices. Yes a wait is normal but goes fast <15 minutes ish. Coffee delish too. Located in a shopping plaza with other shops. Parking very close.

    This was a great place breakfast in Aruba. We stopped there on a cruise and went straight over to the restaurant. It is within walking distance to the port. The only caveat is if you don’t go straight there, you might encounter a line to get in. The pancakes, (more like what an American would call a crepe) were incredible. I had the seaport breakfast and loved it.

    Fun selection of menu options plus build your own pancake options. Great location and kind service. Would definitely recommend ordering one sweet and one savory option. Get there right after open or there will be a line for a while.

  • 5/5 Laraib M. 10 months ago on Google
    Probably the best breakfast food I’ve ever had. The pancakes are actually like crepes, so if you’re expecting American, thick pancakes, don’t be surprised. There are so many delicious add ons. I got the Chocolate Delight with ice cream. The waitress was very good at taking our order, we were a table of 9 and had 5 different tabs. Most restaurants mess this up understandably but she had no trouble. We did wait about 40 minutes to be seated but the food was definitely worth the wait. This place is a must if you’re visiting Aruba!

    The food is good if you like sweet stuff. And it's a beautiful view and atmosphere. Our server was not very attentive our water glasses were empty for quite a while and had to ask someone else to refill and didn't offer to refill my soda even though they charged $3USD for 8oz. But I still recommend coming to experience it once. I uploaded new menu prices from what I saw online.

    When in Aruba on a Cruise do not avoid this place. You’ll have to wait a bit to be seated but it goes fast. Pancakes are must, however take back the dutch “Poffertjes” or small pancakes. Amazing, we really enjoyed and we’ll be back the Wifi is super fast. 🙌

    We wanted to try Dutch pancakes and this place popped up as the highest rated and most popular in Aruba, and definitely for good reason! The Dutch pancakes and mini pancakes were so amazing. The service was wonderful as well. We can’t wait to come back for more!

  • 5/5 D D. 3 months ago on Google • 58 reviews New
    Great place, and not only for breakfast that they have an award for. We came here twice on our trip. Both times for dinner. Their schnitzel is amazing. And HUGE. The image I posted is just half of it. They told us it's large, so we decided to split, so we would still have "space" for dessert, but did not expect it to be this large. And it is tender and delicious. For dessert, we ordered Peach on the Beach that comes with Grand Mariner liquor that they light in front of you. Great presentation and delicious. And Proffertjes are amazing. So delicious, we even had an order to go as well. Just don't go overboard with sides because they also give you some sweet syrups. Highly recommended place. Easily 5 stars experience.

    Tasty — and different — breakfast in Oranjestad. The sweet pancakes were the big hit at our table. Line was long but it moves a bit faster than I expected. Service was friendly. I’ll go back.

  • 5/5 Omar N. 3 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    The varieties that are available here are extensive but they all look so good you’d want to try them all. Awesome cocktails, sweet or savory pancakes and sides to die for. There is however quite a lengthy wait as there is always a line. I’d highly suggest going as early as possible. Although admittedly, the turnover wasn’t that horrible. The location is pretty central with loads to do within the area.

  • 5/5 Sabrina 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    A group of 6 came here for breakfast (twice). The food here is amazing. Top notch! The service was phenomenal. They were very attentive. For food there was something for everyone with varying taste. We all very much enjoyed the food…. So much so that we came again. One of the members of our group dropped their mimosa and they brought another free of charge. A great experience with great food. The prices I found to be reasonable. I highly recommend everyone try this place out.

  • 5/5 Cody D. 3 years ago on Google
    The Dutch pancakes were amazing! Got mine with strawberries, bananas, Nutella, and double whip cream. Delicious!

  • 5/5 Kaye P. 3 years ago on Google
    This was highly recommended by my friends so I went to get lunch one time. I got the Provençale pancake and it was superb! I thought I’d still be hungry after this because the pancake looked more like a crepe, but I was stuffed and had to stroll around to burn some calories! Haha. I still daydream about this pancake and would love to come back. 🤤

  • 5/5 Miro 3 years ago on Google
    There is no better breakfast in Aruba. The Dutch pancakes are truly delicious. I always get the Chocolate Delight which is a pancake topped with Nutella, strawberries, bananas, whipped cream and powdered sugar. During the pandemic, the restaurant’s precautions are among the best. All the staff wear masks. They mandate that all customers sanitize hands before entering. There are no physical menus (you must use the one online), and they offer for you to optionally leave contact info for contact tracing if you so desire.

  • 4/5 Armando C. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food, just quick info for those who don't know, Dutch Pancakes are crepes. They were delicious and flavorful. The coffees were amazing even the frozen ones overall good food and good service, lots of wild birds scavenging for left overs, a little weird. Totally a place to visit while in Aruba 🇦🇼.

  • 5/5 C S. 3 years ago on Google
    Poffertjes are our favorite! We haven't found many places that serve them so make the visit pretty regularly.

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this breakfast in Aruba! They open at 8 am, so it was the perfect spot to go after running in the early morning. The Seaport Breakfast is great: eggs, poffertjes (Dutch mini pancakes), hashbrowns toast and sausage or bacon. Delicious. The mimosas are tasty- made with freshly squeezed orange juice. Lastly, the everyone on staff is super friendly and attentive- the service is wonderful. Samuel is by far the most entertaining and funny server we have ever interacted with- he made us want to return week after week just so we could get a kick out of him! One of a kind!

  • 5/5 Troy S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Matt G. 3 years ago on Google
    My fiancé and I decided to come here a total of 3 times while in Aruba for two weeks. We wanted to end our trip with brunch at a place we had good experiences at in the beginning. However, on our final visit multiple things went wrong. They were not as busy today, Thursday, as they were on the weekend; this is to be expected. Because of this you would expect service to be faster, but that wasn’t the case. Our server had to come to us multiple times to verify the order. We ordered Spanish Coffee - something I do recommend if you come - which came to us wrong two times. We were told we didn’t ask for it iced the first two times so we were charged for their mistakes with making the coffee. Upon receiving the food, we noticed mistakes there too. My eggs were runny when ordered hard and my fiancé’s pancake was a little runny as well. Luckily, we both didn’t mind but it wasn’t the experience we had previously. Our total came out to $63 USD and definitely was not worth that amount.

    Friendly and fast. Mostly pancakes and Waffles on a mix & match menu where you can get eggs and other sides. A generous serving of fruit, too.Try the Dutch Coffee - a bit stronger than regular coffee, served with a packaged cookie. They do have American and Dutch pancake syrup, unlike Linda's Dutch pancake house.

    It's a fun experience. Usually, we don't like the typical pancakes served in the U.S., but the Dutch pancakes are more like crepes. They go well with a variety of food. The service was excellent too.

    Dragged my travel companions to Dutch Pancakehouse and they left gleaming. In fact, they ordered an extra pancake to go. Although the sweet options will delight many, it was the savory pancakes that really stole the show at our table. We also enjoyed nibbling on a shared platter of miniature silver dollar pancakes. COVID-19 precautions: all outdoor seating, sanitizer available, clean tables, QR menu, masks. However, as a popular restaurant, it does develop a long queue. Get there early to avoid a waiting crowd.

  • 5/5 Alison Kao L. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my first dutch pancake, so they were a little thicker than I expected and a little eggier compared to American pancakes. However, both our savory (bacon, egg, and cheese) and sweet ones (nutella, blueberry, and strawberry) were good. The highlight however were the Poffertjes, the silver dollar pancakes. I originally thought they would be the same texture as the large pancakes, but I was mistaken! They are such fluffy pockets of melting goodness. They were great on their own with butter and powdered sugar. I'm not sure I could eat a whole dish, but sharing among your table is highly recommended! Get some! Also, the Poffertjes aren't available at Linda's or Diana's (other pancake spots).

    I absolutely LOVE this place. No matter what it is a must whenever I am in Aruba! I love everything I've ever tried. The mimosas are strong :) The seaport breakfast is my go too...and The crepes are amazing. I love adding nutella nut also the peaches abd Grand Marier & Peaches to the crepes.The wait can be long so we try to go during the week.

  • 4/5 Anna Bellury V. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious, though the pancake/crepe texture was a little dense and gluey for my liking. I wish all the fruit was fresh, but it didn’t stop me from cleaning my plate :) Staff were all so friendly, it was a lovely experience.

  • 5/5 Darcy M. 2 years ago on Google
    A long line, but worth the wait! I would recommend the peach on the beach pancake, they set it on fire in front of you! It is also pretty reasonably priced. It is definitely popular for a reason!

    Enjoyed some excellent Dutch poffertjes, they are like mini pancakes. Had it with strawberries and powdered sugar on top and a pat of butter. Also had a side of Nutella. Nice outside patio seating area. Excellent service.

    Overall it was excellent, I was a little surprised the mini waffles were just a big waffle cut up but regardless the food was good, the staff was great, perfect timing on the refills and knowledgeable. Though a word of warning, get there early, we got in right when they opened and there was only a few seats left that filled quickly, before we left the line was around the side of the building.

    This is a must have breakfast, portions are generous and delicious. you can see the size of the pancake, but believe me you’ll eat it all by yourself. Service is always great, they’re very busy throughout the whole day, so be aware you’ll need to wait. Can’t recall if they take reservations? Enjoy!

    Superb location with very friendly staff and of course the best Dutch pancakes ever. I loved every bite of my savory ham and bacon pancake. Orange juice tasted freshly squeezed and coffee was nice and strong. Highly recommend!

    We had breakfast here twice on vacation because we really liked the food. And don’t let the long line discourage you, the wait really isn’t that bad. Besides, the food will make up for it. My husband and kids enjoyed the pancakes and I used a few sides to create my meal. The portion sizes are great and so are the prices. We actually ordered more than we needed because we didn’t realize how much we’d be getting. I think this place is a must in Aruba and we’ll definitely be back.

    Came here for a late morning breakfast. It was good and filling. You get your money's worth here, for sure. Drinks are good also. So many different types of specialty pancakes to choose from, whether sweet or savory. The fruit that topped the pancakes was really fresh. I didn't see it mentioned much, but also try the poffertjes(silver dollar-sized pancakes). Those were awesome. Plan to spend some time here as service can be slow on busy mornings. We came for breakfast, but they also serve dinner as well.

    Staff was so friendly, the coffee was excellent (served with a special cream), and the food was delicious. Make sure to try one of the savory pancakes and the poffertjes. The location is also great as it is right by the water and marinas. Do not pass up this spot for breakfast or brunch.

    Probably the best breakfast you are going to get in the area. Tons of different savory and sweet pancakes. They also yet you do half and half (pay based on the more expensive side) which lets you try the best of both worlds. But be warned: The pancakes are massive and likely 2 people can share 1 order. The coffee is very good and the service is very friendly. The poffertjes are a must try. You can get very small side orders just to try. They are super light and fluffy and taste a lot like heaven.

    all the reviews said to try the pancakes and crepes here so on our last day we stopped here for brunch before heading to the airport. the place is small and they are busy during breakfast so there was a wait to sit down - and all seats are outside. we got the side of fruit, hash browns, potatoes with onion, mini pancake with chocolate sauce and regular pancake with fruit. the regular pancake was more like a crepe but there was lots of fruit and the size of the crepe was big. the mini pancakes were alright but we had the same on the street the night before. the hash browns were decent and the potatoes were really good. overall a decent place for breakfast if you are in the area

    Dutch pancakes are delicious and the Dutch Pancakehouse knows what they are doing! I know all those “sweet” pancake options look tempting, but I would highly encourage you to try a savory pancake, we’ve gone back twice and the savory flavors have blown us out of the water. Prices are reasonable and all seating is under an outdoor patio with great people watching. You will likely run into a significant line in the mornings.

    Can't make reservations. Just be prepared to wait. 🤭 The hostess not so friendly, but when we were seated, the food assistant made up for what they lacked. The food was good I've never eaten a Dutch pancake so this was a first time experience. I got berries and bananas and then I got the waffles the next day. The mimosa was the highlight of that visit overall for me. As for King Lemonade he ordered the Dutch pancake as well but he didn't care for it at all so he ended up getting the tiny pancakes, which he enjoyed both visits. The bacon came diced up, but crunchy. The eggs were not as good as I would have liked, but still edible. The service overall was really nice. @according2teau 👽🦄

    The food is good. There is always a line so get there early. The food is a little expensive (about $15+ per person). Service is a little slow (they're on island time). But the pancakes are awesome and the OJ taste great! Definitely worth trying at least once if you haven't before.

    VERY good breakfast. The seaport breakfast was my favorite. My wife got the strawberry field she really enjoyed it. If you are in Aruba must go eat at. Lines can be long at times after 9

    Overall a nice place to have breakfast. There are others in the area this just happened to be on our way . The breakfast is good. Although lines are long they move quickly. Lot of variety on the menu so you can find something for everyone.

    Dutch Pancakes are delish!! I rather the traditional syrup though. I also had the mini waffles but what it really is was a large waffle cut into small pieces. Nonetheless I still enjoyed. What better way to have waffle and pancakes than for it to be topped with powdered sugar, strawberries and whip cream. 😋 For me though fried to perfection the hash brown tasted like Dunkin Donuts, and I like my bacon in strips not bundled up like a bacon web. Service was also pretty good. Also GET THERE EARLY.... The lines can get pretty long and the wait can be 30 to 45min.

    Super slow service and mediocre food. They took forever to clean the tables. Waited in line for 20 min to be seated, another 15 min before they could take your order, then another 30 min before food being served. The Norway pancake I ordered had a very plain taste and I couldn’t force myself to finish it. Hash brown was also just ok. The only good thing I could say is their orange juice is freshly made and the portion of pancake is big.

👍👍 If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food, the service, the drinks and the atmosphere was amazing. The best meal we had during our entire trip. Make sure you make reservations, chances are slim you will be able to just walk in and get a table.

🫤 I was excited to check out Cuba’s Cooking to celebrate my Cuban heritage , but bad service will spoil food no matter how good it is. Food was yummy (minus the guacamole, it was a bit runny and tasted store bought) though at the very upper end of what I would have liked to pay for what we got. Drinks...
