Diana’s Pancakes Place is Palm Beach’s authentic Dutch pancake destination — a small, charming spot a 5-minute walk from the Riu and St Regis resorts, serving thin Dutch-style pancakes with both savory and sweet preparations. With a 4.6-star rating across 946 Google reviews (checked November 2026) and a TikTok following that brings new visitors weekly, Diana’s has become the breakfast rite-of-passage for Palm Beach travelers wanting something different from hotel buffets. Look for the landmark red windmill on J.E. Irausquin Blvd — Diana’s covered terrace sits right at its base.

About Diana’s Pancakes Place
Dutch pancakes are crepe-style — thin layers, savory or sweet, larger than American pancakes. Diana’s specializes in both styles, plus breakfast plates and Dutch snack trios (bitterballen, frikandel). Hours are Tuesday through Sunday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM (closed Mondays). The space is small with limited seating — short wait is common during peak morning hours, and worth it. Pet-friendly atmosphere with a resident house cat that adds charm. Dutch souvenirs and the iconic Aruba sign outside make it a popular photo stop. Located on J.E. Irausquin Blvd 330 in Noord, walking distance from Riu Palace, St Regis, and most Palm Beach high-rises.
The Menu With Prices — Checked November 2026
These prices come from the menu card photographed by a diner in May 2026 on Diana’s Google listing — the newest dated card there, and noticeably up from the 2024 card (the plain pancake went from $7 to $7.25, the Farmers from $17 to $19.25), so trust this list over older write-ups. The card prints “prices in US dollars, tax included” and there is no service charge. Drink prices further down come from an April 2024 card photo, so treat those as minimums.

What breakfast actually costs
A one- or two-topping pancake ($10.25–$13.25) plus a bottomless drip coffee ($3.50) lands at $14–$17 a head before tip — tax is already in the menu price and there is no service charge. A house special plus a fresh orange juice puts you in the low $20s. Before 11 AM, the $16.25 Special Breakfast — pancake, scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee — is the best-value plate on the card.

What guests are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the unique Dutch crepe-style pancakes and the small-charming-spot ambiance. The bacon cheese pancake and the Aruban syrup + cayenne combo earn specific shoutouts. Service is described as warm and patient — staff guide first-timers through Dutch pancake culture. The small size means short waits during peak morning hours — arrive at 8:00 AM opening or after 11:00 AM for shorter lines. The house cat is mentioned in many reviews. Pricing is friendly — most pancakes run $10.25–$16.25 on the current card.
Our Verdict
Diana’s earns its 4.6★ across 946 Google reviews (checked November 2026) the honest way: thin, plate-wide Dutch pancakes — the single most-mentioned thing in its reviews — a windmill you cannot miss, and staff that regulars compare to family. Go savory with the bacon-cheese ($13.25) and do as the locals do: Dutch syrup plus a dash of cayenne hot sauce. Sweet eaters should take the apple-cinnamon ($10.50) or the fruit-loaded Picasso ($16.50). Two things catch visitors out: it is a morning-only spot — doors open at 8 AM and close at 1 PM — and it is closed on Mondays. The room is small, so land at the 8 AM opening or after 11 AM to dodge the mid-morning line; the resident cat, Chill, will likely greet you either way. At $14–$17 a head it undercuts every hotel buffet on the strip — see where else locals start the day in our best breakfast in Aruba guide.
