Craft Restaurant Aruba was born in the summer of 2016 out of a desire for a terrace café-bar concept on vibrant Palm Beach. Craft has charmed the masses all day with its good coffee (serving roaster Panther Coffee’s best), sumptuous skillet egg and açaí bowl dishes.
As the sun sets, Craft Aruba transforms into a spot for fine cocktails coupled with next-door sister spot Lola Taqueria’s tasty tacos.

Great food and great service. Daniela was amazing, warm, friendly and attentive. I recommend the Korean Chicken and Waffles, Korean Chicken Tacos and the Korean Chicken Burger. Drinks were refreshing on such a warm day. No mosquitoes and no pesky birds trying to pick at your food. My husband and I would definitely come again. All smiles.
Really liked this place so much we came back for lunch! Had dinner here the first time at the bar. They were pretty full for dinner service but we were able to grab a spot at the bar. Really liked the salad they had. Pretty much a week of eating fried foods and drinking so having some greens was nice. The fries were really yummy and the Korean fried chicken tacos (and sandwich) was good. Friendly servers and quick service. Might just be hard on weekend evenings for getting a table.
Craft Aruba: High-Quality Breakfast with a Small Catch ☕️🌮 If you are looking for the most stylish breakfast spot in Palm Beach, Craft is definitely the place. The aesthetic is 10/10 and the quality of the ingredients is undeniable, but there is one thing you need to know before you order. The Food Quality I tried the Steak and Egg Tacos and a Waffle with Bananas. • The Tacos: Absolutely delicious. The eggs were fluffy and the steak was seasoned perfectly. • The Waffle: Crispy, fresh, and paired with high-quality coffee. You can taste the "Craft" in everything they serve. The Service & Vibe The atmosphere here is unbeatable—modern, breezy, and very "Aruba chic." The service was good and attentive throughout the meal. The "Heads Up" (Portion Size) The only reason I’m not giving this a "hidden gem" status is the portion size. The Steak and Egg Tacos are mini-tacos (you get two), and they are quite small for a breakfast main. I wish the staff had mentioned the size or suggested a side, as I left feeling a bit hungry. Verdict: Go for the quality and the amazing vibe, but if you have a big appetite, I’d suggest ordering two dishes or a few sides to share. It’s a premium experience, just be prepared for "boutique" portions.
Lola Tacos and Tequila /Craft Coffee - My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Lola Tacos and Tequila / Craft Coffee! The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly. The atmosphere is great, but what truly made our visit memorable was the exceptional team. The customer service was brilliant—everyone was so welcoming and kind. A massive shout-out to the bartenders—Judy, Karolay, and Felipe—for their hospitality and for being such amazing human beings. You can see their thoughtful personal touch in the photo I’ve attached. Thank you all for the wonderful service; my husband and I will definitely be returning! I absolutely recommend this 👌 👏 💯
We always love eating here. The food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent. This time Jo-Anna was our server and she was super helpful with excellent drink recommendations and quick service.
