Solid Options, Awesome Staff

I went twice. The vegan burger was great. The Buddha bowl was awesome! And their carrot cake was great too! Staff were so kind. This place is worth a visit!

Great vegan bowl

There are few friendly vegan options. The bowl was great, super flavour. The restaurant is clean and next to the palm beach.

Vegan Just Egg Wrap

Went there for breakfast and had the Just Egg Wrap, which is vegan even though it is not indicated on the menu (we asked) and the fruit bowl. Very good and will go back again!

The just egg omelette didn’t taste like just egg

Paid $15 for the called “just egg omelette”, but it was a small portion of scrambled tofu tried to put together as an omelette. They probably added a tiny amount of the product, maybe to make it cheaper? The economy wasn’t reflected on my pocket though, and I couldn’t even feel the taste of the just egg

Cons: Not worth the price

Menú claro

En el menú están claramente indicadas las opciones vegetarianas y veganas. Hay una variedad aceptable. La hamburguesa estaba rica y las papas a la francesa estaban deliciosas, de las mejores que he comido. El pudin de chia estaba normal, pero se agradece que tengan yogur vegano. El lugar es muy bonito y tiene una vista agradable a la calle principal.

Pros: Varias opciones

So good!!!

I would give 5 stars but it does not let me bc it’s not a fully vegan menu. But there are plenty of vegan options and the dishes and smoothies are so flavorful!! The service is very pleasant and sweet. Will be back!

THE best vegan burger!!

I had wanted to try Garden Fresh Cafe as had so many positive reviews on Happy Cow and had heard so many good things about it. I was not disappointed. Several Happy Cow reviewers raved about the homemade lentil burger and OMG seriously THE best vegan burger ! The grain bun, the filling lentil burger with melted cheese and vegan mayo had me smacking my lips in delight! So good! The fries were crispy, yummy and not greasy at all. I saved room for the vegan carrot cake and am I glad that I did! It was so moist and delicious and the cream cheese icing completed it! Seriously one of my favourite lunches in Aruba for the week! If wasn’t on a mission to try as many vegan places in Aruba, would go back in a heartbeat! Yep it that good!!😋👍💚
Definitely go and try this place! One of my favourites in Aruba!

Pros: lots of vegan options, feshly made to order, good sized portions at very reasonable prices

Delish

I ate here once in July 2022. I ate a smoothie bowl and hot tea. I thought it tasted good. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and I liked the aesthetics.

Decent

I liked the Buddha bowl and vegan burger w/fries. My vegetarian family liked it more than I did. I didn’t like the smoothie.

Pros: Serves tempeh , Mostly whole foods

Healthy food!

We went a few times here. Loved that the options were so healthy :)

One downside was that the asked us if we wanted water which we said yes to (expecting tap water, like they serve for free in every single place in aruba) and they charged us 7 euros for the bottle. Rip off. We didn’t tip because of it.

Buddha Bowl

I got the buddha bowl here. It was pretty tasty but there were a few 'dead' kale leaves in there that I had to push to the side. Also not a very big serving so I left still feeling hungry. If I was a male, I would need two of these bowls to fill up.

Pros: Lots of vegan options., Healthy, Air conditioned

Cons: serving size

Fabulous and consistent

I’m here now for the 3rd time. We’ve had smoothies, just egg omelet, lentil burger and build your own bowl. Wonderful, great service (a little new/green but well intentioned). Def go. Located on the street side of Playa lynda resort. Inside ac or outside, gets busy at lunch especially.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Super fresh , Delish

Cons: Gets busy

Only 2 vegan options

They were out of just egg option for omelette. They didn’t have many options but the Buddha bowl and vegan burger. The burger was made of lentils and was pretty good. They also made us a avocado mushroom toast.

Delicious vegan burger

Our first meal in Aruba was here and after a long day of traveling it couldn’t have been better. The vegan burger was delicious, as well as the carrot and chocolate cake. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Not good

I got the vegan burger and it was terrible. Flavorless bleh. Absolutely no seasoning, cold v cheese on it, and the bun was horrid. And the fries were the worst fries I’ve ever had. Ive had tons of healthy food that actually tasted good. Pretty disappointed over all. Skip this place if you’re vegan. The options are better at the place next door.

Good food for a good price!

Since discovering Garden Fresh it has definitely been a go-to place when looking for a place to eat if I didn’t want to spend too much money on food. Their vegan burger is very filling and since they changed the recipe, it tastes much better than before. Only complaint about the burger is that the patty itself doesn’t have much flavor but that gets compensated by the sauce. Their vegan chocolate cake is not something I’d order again, though it is an interesting dish. The vegan tiramisu they had was the best tiramisu I’ve ever had and when I found out the stopped making it, I was very disappointed, so I’m hoping they have plans to bring it back one day.

Pros: Good vegan options, Fair prices, Nice place for vegans and non-vegans

Cons: Vegan burger could have more flavor, No more vegan tiramisu

Vegan cakes!

I was impressed to find several vegan cakes here and tried their famous carrot cake -- it certainly lived up to its reputation! I also ordered a 'build your own' panini which was good but unfortunately, most of the vegan add-ons (e.g. cheese and dressing) cost an extra $2 which I think is a little too pricey for a sandwich. Still, they have a lot of good vegan options including a burger, bowl, and Just Egg omelette, which is great on this small island.

Pros: Good amount of vegan options , Good portions
