Delish!

I visited in July 2022. Check to make sure they're still open because I saw online they may be temporarily closed. I ate here a few times, and it was delicious. Fully vegan! They also had a Colombian day where they served all Colombian food.

Run don’t walk!!! Amazing!!

This magical little restaurant located behind Yoga Girl Studio was amazing! We visited 8 times while on an extended holiday to Aruba. I would highly recommend. Manuel & Ericka, the owners are so friendly and skilled with creating over-the-top, flavourful, vegan meals. Their Boms Panini was huge and sooo tasty, fishless tacos, cheesadilla, truffle Mac & Cheese equally amazing! Don’t get me started on their decadent desserts (brownie, Oreo brownie, carrot cake). And on Sundays they always offer a special meal. Literally everything had such ridiculously amazing flavour profiles. Our vegan bellies were very satisfied!!! They’re seitan would fool any non-vegan. Sadly they are moving back to Columbia and closing their doors on February 28th so go now while you still can. Such a loss to this beautiful island. #Veganuary

Pros: Entirely vegan restaurant, Menu items were all amazing!, Super Friendly staff

Cons: Closing their doors as of February 28th, 2023 🥲, Only open until 3:00 each day

Excellent Place!

We had a Cunucu burger, sorry if I spelled that wrong, and a Poke bowl. Both were excellent! Will be back! Definitely recommend this place if visiting Aruba. It’s close to the hotels, but a taxi or car would make it easier to get to.

Pros: Lots and lots of options, Excellent food, loved the burger, Cute place

Cons: A little ways from the hotels but not too hard to

A vegan haven. I ordered delivery via WhatsApp, worked great. Delicious.

I ordered the Patrona Burger, Poke Bowl and Cheesadilla. All items have wonderful flavor. This place is god send for vegans in Aruba. Especially if you’re staying at an all inclusive with little options. Look at their Instagram for instructions on how to order delivery with whats app. It was easy.

Pros: Vegan Protein and Cheeses. , All vegan. , Delivery available.

Cons: None. Do it.

Great vegan spot!

My partner and I had lunch here after shortly after arriving from our flight. We had read great things about this place and we were not disappointed! We shared the Caribbean Vibez smoothie bowl and the El Chamo bowl. Everything was so tasty and the portions were generous! The staff were also very friendly and the air-conditioned cute indoor space was a lovely break from a sweltering afternoon heat. We will definitely be returning several times on this trip!

5 stars for a great little vegan spot on the island

Super hidden. But we got a quick taxi from our hotel on palm beach. Cost about $9 in the taxi but well worth it compared to the over priced food elsewhere.

A nice welcome from the guy behind the counter. They have a full and delicious menu which has a special every day of the week. I had the skillet sausage and peppers, coleslaw and Mac and cheese with a side of fries. This was delicious!!!!!

My partner had the ciabatta with loaded fries and this was equally stunning! I had a bit of her ciabatta and I have to admit I wanted to eat the whole thing.

We also had the Oreo cheesecake to takeaway and it was heaven! We’re going back tomorrow for lunch and we can’t wait.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, 10/10 food

Cons: It’s not in England

Amazing delicious vegan food

We loved Origin Cafe!!!
The location is a bit hidden, which is nice because it's a quite and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is really friendly!
The food was delicious, we had two vegan bowls: One was the poke bowl and the other one was the burrito bowl. Both were very good and tasteful. In the end we had an amazing vegan cheesecake with passion fruit, oh my god soooo damn good!
We will definitely come again.
And they even have some specials everyday for only 10$!

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant, Lovely location and staff, Homemade mockmeat options

Cons: Nothing it's great

A Tale of Two Palettes

My husband wanted breakfast both sweet and savory, I wanted lunch and lots of spice. We found just what we wanted here. It’s a toasty Aruba day so we opted to sit inside in the AC, but the outdoor seating area is beautiful.

Pros: Varied cuisine

Great Vegan Spot

Vegan spot with a mix of comfort food and healthy options. Tried one of the burgers, breakfast tacos and sweet potato fries with both cilantro mayo and spicy mayo. Everything was tasty and was definitely worth the trip.

Delicious homemade meals

I have been in Aruba for 2 months and eat here 4 times a week at least.
The menu is varied, service 10/10 and the meals are delicious.
They make everything from scratch including their burgers.
I have eaten everything in the menu.
They also sometimes do a vegan BBQ which was a nice treat.
My favourite dishes are the fishless tacos & the burgers are incredible.
They also put on a daily special.
The cafe is clean and beautifully simple. It has seating inside and outside.
I wish I could take this place on my travels

Pros: Burgers , Service , Vegan BBQ

Hidden gem!

A bit hidden away in Noord, you will find Origin Cafe. Very inventive menu, GREAT taste! We had the viva burger and cunucu burger, with loaded fries on the side. Everything was delicious! Tasty, good portions. You can eat inside or choose a table in the secluded garden.

Pros: The menu!, Great for breakfast or lunch!

Cons: Closed after 4pm, so unfortunately no dinner…, Not cheap, but absolutely good value for money

What a great find. If you are on a cruise ship finding a vegan cafe on land is always a great find. Took two of our carnivores with us and everyone loved the meal

Cons: Far from city center.

Amazing!

Went for breakfast and it was amazing! Their homemade vegan bacon is probably the best I’ve ever tried. The prices weren’t bad either, and on Sundays, they have 20% off before 11am.

Pros: Delicious, Beautiful decor , Affordable

Inventive but disappointed

Origins presents a fresh atmosphere and inventive menu with all vegan food in Aruba. I had the royal breakfast and the fluffy pancakes. Food was just OK though. I didn’t enjoy the homemade vegan bacon or sausages at all. The pancakes were beautiful but absolutely covered in a sweet yogurt type sauce where a basic syrup would have done.

Service was excellent. Maybe I ordered incorrectly but left disappointed. Would try the menu again.

Pros: All vegan food , Beautiful space , Service

Cons: Homemade meat options, Pricey

Delicious!

We went for lunch and had a peppermint mocha, cheese & jackfruit empanadas (which came with a heavenly cilantro aioli), cunucu burger, and fishless tacos. The portions were large and we could barely finish. Compared to other vegan restaurant options in Aruba this restaurant is very affordable too. Everything was delicious, we will definitely be going back soon!
