Aruba
Sip and been seen at this trendy coffee bar by day, swanky cocktail lounge by night. Coffee options include cold brew and hand-pulled espresso, and there are 25 international craft beers on offer; bartenders prepare syrups in-house for craft cocktails. A small food menu features the likes of waffles, acai bowls and spectacular desserts that arrive in mason jars.
Hungrier patrons can order off the menu from Lolas, a small but excellent taco shop next door.
