For good coffee in a hip ambiance, Santos is a good option. Located in the capital city, it offers quick eats along with hot and cold drinks, and it has an upbeat interior design. Free WiFi inside.

In addition to roasting coffee beans in-house, which was a first for the island back the time of opening, this cafe offers a mouth-watering selection of gelato. Take a break in its cosy, retro-inspired decor, and maybe purchase some souvenirs from the shop inside.

To start the day with a delicious sweet treat, try Diana's traditional Dutch pancakes. Choose from the rich offer of toppings, and complete the breakfast with coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice. The menu also includes savoury pancakes, perfect for a brunch. Service is great and portions are generous.

To keep cheerful and energetic throughout your day at the beach, you'll need some fresh fruity snacks. Eduardo offers plenty of healthy options right on the sand: from smoothies and fruit salads to more substantial bowls and wraps. It's the place to go in the town of Noord.

Delicious food all day long, and at incredible prices, has earned Kamini's a reputation as one of the best eateries on the island. Located in the southern area, this place is lively and unassuming, and the owner is extremely well-loved. Try their curry specialities that are different from the familiar Indian flavours.
