i was never a starbucks lover..........suffice it to say, 3 times while in aruba, we had starbucks coffee from the seaport mktplace.

i do like it.
i think it is an acquired taste.

I bring my own coffee (Starbucks or whatever I'm in the mood for) with me to Aruba and make it in our room. Coffee on the balcony in the morning in my PJ's is the best! (Followed by a Mimosa! )

Those are the store hours for the shopping center, but the restaurants "are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner". Like Amy I also usually make coffee in the TS in the morning (unless we head out to Linda's Pancakes), but it will be nice for all of is in the high rise area to have this option in walking distance. As Andrea says it's an acquired taste, and I hate to admit but it also can become an "addiction".

Sad with all the great coffees to be had on Aruba. Starbucks, Hooters, Five Guys, Tony Romas, on and on. The hi-rise area is becoming too Americanized IMHO.

well, tourism is the number 1 thing in aruba.
make the tourists happy by providing stuff the tourists love.
and, the arubans LOVE american franchises.

imo, although aruba has allowed it.......i feel like the hi rise area is going to sink because of the congestion and stuff up there. lots of the tourists and the aruba residents LOVE american franchise food.
