Noord Pastry on Caya Frans Figaroa is one of those friendly local bakeries that you find by accident, fall in love with, and start visiting every morning of your trip. Owned by Antonio (who personally welcomes guests and remembers your order by day three), it’s a 4.6-star Aruban institution serving fresh pastries, cakes, coffee, and the kind of birthday and engagement cakes that make celebrations special.

About Noord Pastry
Located in central Noord just off the main drag, Noord Pastry opens at 6am every day except Sunday. The bakery doubles as a coffee spot and the in-house cake studio handles birthday and special-occasion orders (call ahead 1-2 days for custom designs). Vibe is warm, local, and unhurried — Antonio’s hospitality is consistently the most-mentioned aspect of every review. Cash and card both accepted.
Menu Highlights & What to Order
Key lime pie is the standout dessert across reviews. Carrot cake and quesillo (Caribbean flan) are right behind. Cream horns, kolaches, coconut macaroons, and the daily-rotating cake selection are all consistently fresh. Cheesecakes (multiple flavors) handle dessert orders for couples. Vanilla cake is the kid favorite. For special occasions, the custom cake program is highly recommended — order 2 days ahead.
