Santos Coffee with Soul in Aruba is a charming cafe that stands out for its cozy atmosphere and excellent selection of drinks. Visitors enjoy a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere, complemented by modern and elegant décor. The cafe offers a variety of options, from delicious artisanal coffees to fresh juices and tempting desserts. Their attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff make each visit special. However, service can sometimes be a little slow due to high demand. Overall, Santos Coffee with Soul is a gem in Aruba, ideal for enjoying good coffee and a quality time. I give it a rating of 4/5.

Santos Coffee With Soul quickly became our “go to” breakfast spot near Eagle Beach. A healthy menu to choose from with above average coffees and homemade croissants that were some of the best ones we have ever tasted! Prices are fair and on certain days there are artisans set up along the courtyard selling homemade jewelry and artwork. The staff is welcoming and the pace is slow. This is a great place to start the day, but they also have a great looking lunch menu and drinks.

We really wanted to love this place. Based on the advertisement and aesthetic, we were hopeful... but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The coffee (espresso/americano) was very weak and lacked flavor. The food was basic - luke warm, barely toasted bagel. Breakfast sandwich was small and just sort of thrown together. Acai bowl was simple and not much added fruit. The service - regretfully, not very hospitable. Having worked for many years in food service I fully empathize when it's busy and can understand the wait, but this seemed to be due to disorganization and lack of attention. Perhaps it was an off day - we'll assume that impacted the service. But as for the coffee - I feel like an espresso is telling of the coffee quality, and sadly, this spot didn't make the cut.

I adore Santos! What a great spot! I stay in Aruba for three months and need to remote work while on the island. Santos has a great outdoor “lounge” area with a variety of table chair options to suit your comfort level - hi top tables with stools (where you can stand & work), low tables with spinning stools and even low lounge groupings with coffee tables. The outdoor lounge has large sailcloth coverings to protect you from the Aruba heat and rare sprinkle… And that’s juts the environment! The food is phenomenal too - highlights over my many visits were the potato, bacon and onion bread bowl, the fondue and the white chocolate iced mochas! The staff is just so kind and embraces the entire “work” aspect and checks in frequently to see what I might need throughout the day, refilling a pitcher of mint leaf ice water often. There was a day I was there for 6+ hours and they could NOT have been nicer and happier to have me. I’m forever spoiled by my Santos experience and will most certainly be back when Aruba cals me back.

Great location mid island with exceptional service. Great coffee according to a Dunkin die hard. Try the Caramel iced latte… with a choice of desserts after dinner… The wait staff is quite attentive and interacts as a general course … Masha Danki for helping me with my limited Papiamento✨✨✨

Hot from our walk we stopped at this local coffee shop for an Iced Coconut Milk Latte with an extra shot of espresso and a cinnamon flavor shot. đź‘Ť Sit inside in an air conditioned space or outside. Great service and tasty treat options.

We had lunch here a couple times during the week. They had a nice menu of breakfast and lunch selections. We had turkey sandwiches made with vegetables and balsamic glaze and ham and gouda sandwiches with the same included. Nice side of potato chips. The sandwiches were very good. Of course we concluded the lunch with iced lattes with various flavors offered and macadamia nut cookies. A relaxing place with indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend.

While I have been enjoying Santos for the last two years, I feel they have lost their small cafe touch. I do not appreciate how they handled a problem. Their smoothie menu says to select three fruits. I did this for a week straight and had no issues. Now they tell me that the “mix berries” counts as three fruits when there is NOTHING on the menu that discloses this fact has me extremely upset. See for yourself on the attached pic. I raised this to the manager that there is no disclosure of this fact and she basically said sorry but it is what it is. I strongly encouraged her to update the menu with the proper disclosure. I have found the Santos replacement breakfast cafe. Go give it a try, it’s outstanding!! It’s called Aru- Bean / this cafe should be rated #1

The coffee they serve is amazing, their bagels and sandwiches are absolutely delicious and are very cheaply priced for the quality you get. Last but not least the staff is so friendly. Needless to say we came back a lot of times and so should you ;)

We came here twice during our one week stay in Aruba. The coffee is fantastic and smooth, and nice latte art as well. The orange juice is fresh squeezed, and the breakfast was delicious. We had to drive to visit, but it was worth it!

After a disappointing cup of coffee from my hotel room’s tiny coffee maker, I saw that Santos nearby had very good reviews. The place is very small, tucked in between parking lots of a few resorts on Manchebo beach. But it has a nice modern decor and a small patio for outdoor dining.
The most important thing to know about Santos is that the coffee is really good. We just had drip coffee each day, and looked forward to it. It was a nice medium roast, and the baristas froth the milk by default. What also surprised me is that it was less expensive than many small coffee shops in the United States. I thought the employees were really efficient and pleasant as well, although it was pretty busy each time which didn’t allow for prolonged conversations. I didn’t have a chance to try the food, but it looked good and they attracted a crowd for food and drink each time I stopped by.
I’d get coffee here repeatedly if it was in my hometown. If you’re in the Manchebo/Eagle beach area and are seeking a good cup of coffee, you should stop browsing reviews and just start walking to Santos now.

My mom ordered Santo’s Vegan Gluten-free Pancakes (although she normally eats neither vegan nor gluten-free; I’m the celiac in the family), and they were so heavenly that we both to had to go back a second time to order them again. They were made slightly different both times (the first time included raisins and the second had pumpkin), but both versions were absolutely superb. I’ve included a picture of the pumpkin version of the pancakes, but be aware that their taste blows away their looks.
