I love this cafe but I wish you would train the baristas properly. About 50% of the time it's the best espresso I've had in my life, and 50% of the time it's bitter and has no body. I watch the baristas and realized that it's a problem with tamping. Some of them tamp properly, while others give it a single, light tamp (resulting in a watery, slightly bitter espresso.) If you just fix this issue it will always be the greatest espresso.

Islands Café offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff and outdoor seating. Popular items include the fresh Ono Kai bagel, outstanding Açaí bowls, and authentic poke. The salted caramel latte is a great pick-me-up, and the Palm Tree Latte is also a favorite among customers. While many enjoy the great coffee, some have noted that the espresso can be inconsistent, with some baristas tamping properly and others not. Customers enjoy top-notch food and service at all three locations, with prices considered reasonable. This café is highly recommended for a light meal or coffee, making it a favorite spot in the neighborhood.
