Deliciously refreshing - Edit
Really conveniently located moments from the beach in a brilliantly cool building, One Happy Bowl offers a pretty extensive range of salad bowls and snacks. I ordered the tuna mayo bowl with brown rice and it was the perfect lunch. Very reasonably priced for Aruba too. Friendly staff!

Hearty, Tasty, Peaceful - Edit
The food was very good. I’m happy we went, though getting to/from there was really a thing. If I had gotten an international data plan, we could have used google maps and had a good walk from center Oranjestad, but we had to rely on taxis, and we had a bad taxi experience.
Read moreThis restaurant is off the lobby of the cas de Cultura, there was some art hanging about but not so much. Regulars came, some takeaway, and the music students from the upstairs school walked by. It was a pleasant departure from all the touristic places, that as tourist we naturally landed upon. I would like to return to Aruba, and would certainly return to One Happy Bowl.
Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Difficult to get to

Excelente opción para ir a almorzar o desayunar! - Edit
No hay muchos lugares 100% veganos en Aruba. Así que recomendaría sí o sí darse una vuelta por este sitio.

Best bowl in a long time! - Edit
We hadden alle drie een bowl en ze waren alle drie echt vers, goed gevuld en enorm lekker! Goed dat je “zoodles” (noodles van zuchini) kon kiezen want daardoor ook nog low on carbs! 👍🏼😎🌴❤️

Decent vegan food - Edit
We went to One Happy Bowl and it was okay. Unfortunately we expected more, especially given the price. The bowls were okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately the staff didn't get our order right, which was kind of disappointing given the price. A bowl starts at 13,50$.

Healthy Vegan Soot - Edit
One of the only fully vegan spots on the island, great for a quick breakfast or lunch in between beach time. I had the coconut yogurt for breakfast and it was beautifully arranged with fruits and granola. Almost looked like a work of art. Unfortunately I got stuck in a major rainstorm right after so couldn’t get a picture of it. Also tried the carrot lox cheese wrap which was very light on the cream cheese (barely detectable) and was hard to eat without everything falling out. The carrot lox itself was very tasty but didn’t really remind me of true “lox”.

My bowl was awful 😢 - Edit
I was less than pleased with the tofu scramble bowl. It was really difficult to gag down. The sriracha sauce was not good. It really ruined the whole thing.

Vegan oasis - Edit
Happy Bowl is a vegan oasis in Aruba where the options are limited. Service is great, place is clean with delicious food. The pastechi are a novel as a vegan version but far from traditional in flavor and size. The bowls and smoothies are where it’s at. I highly recommend the poke bowl with added tempeh.
Read moreIt is located right in Oranjestad and has easy parking so you can add on to a shopping trip or of staying nearby.
Pros: Varied Menu of smoothies, bowls and add ons, Quality fresh food , Great location in town
Cons: Pricy for what it is but in line with other food

One Happy Place - Edit
Gemütliches kleines Restaurant direkt in der Nähe des Hafens. Es gibt ein reichhaltiges Frühstücksangebot und auch der Mittags- und Abendhunger kommt nicht zu kurz. Die Bowl kann aus der Karte ausgewählt oder aber auch ganz individuell zusammengestellt werden. Die Preise sind absolut angemessen und die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich
Read morePros: Rein veganes Restaurant, Bowls sind individuell möglich

#1 place for me! - Edit
One Happy Bowl has been my favorite place to go to ever since I first discovered it. The place has great, calm vibes and is also a perfect place to study! The food is great, nice and fresh. You’d think that the portion sizes are small but they still manage to fill you up which is great. The discount for locals also helps a lot! Their iced coffee is also delicious. It’s not sweet like you’d normally expect but it somehow makes you appreciate the taste which is great. The staff is also extremely friendly and very welcoming. The place is also very nicely decorated. I definitely can not recommend One Happy Bowl enough.

The breakfast was so good. I came here several times and chopped it up with the owner. Everything was good including the vibes. It was walking distance from my hotel so that was also a plus!

Healthy, delicious bowls. - Edit
You can build your own poke bowl with a variety of delicious and fresh toppings and sauces, or just order one of their suggestions. We made one bowl with tofu, veg, black beans, and sweet and spicy sauce, and the other with tempeh, chickpeas, mango, a variety of veg, and a peanut sauce. Felt very satisfied afterwards. One of the more affordable places to get vegan food on the island. Friendly service and lovely ambiance too!
