Aruba Coffee Roasting Company

Overview

Aruba Coffee Roasting Company brands itself as Aruba's first and only micro-roaster, operating as a roastery and a connected cafe (Coffee Break) off LG Smith Boulevard in Oranjestad. Owner Sheri runs roasting tours on request, walking visitors through bean origins and the small-batch roasting process; the cafe operates in Papiamento, English, Dutch and Spanish.

Known for

• Aruba FIRST and self-described only micro-roaster
• Aruba Blend with coconut signature
• owner-led roastery tours
• four-language operation (Papiamento/English/Dutch/Spanish)
• free customer parking in Zandstraat lot

Why it matters

Aruba's specialty coffee scene has expanded since 2020 (Island Grind drive-thru, Cunucu pop-ups, Kompa Nanzi by the Kock brothers), but Aruba Coffee Roasting Company is the one that explicitly claims first-mover status and that remains the genuine craft tour-and-tasting operation rather than a chain. Tagline retains the unambiguous claim: 'Aruba's first and only coffee roaster.'
