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 is a cozy coffee shop in Grandview, South Surrey, known for its unique island-inspired atmosphere. The café offers a great selection of drinks, including their popular lattes with cocoa powder, a medium matcha latte, and tropical flavored iced lattes like the Palm Tree latte and iced Haupia Macchiato. Customers often enjoy their acai bowls and gluten-free cookies, which are perfect for a healthy bite. The relaxed and inviting environment, with its interesting decor, makes it a great spot to work or relax. While the prices may be on the higher side, customers can earn rewards with their drink and food purchases. The café is kid-friendly and offers plenty of seating inside and outside, creating a welcoming environment for all visitors.
The café never disappoints, with each visit feeling like a tiny getaway. The island-inspired details instantly pull customers back into cherished memories of past island trips, creating a cozy and relaxing vibe. The Beach Bum Latte, a dreamy blend of coconut and banana, is a customer favorite, offering a smooth and fragrant tropical sweetness.
However, some customers have noted that the coffee quality could be improved, with one customer finding the dark roast to be quite weak. The café also only offers paper cups, which some customers may prefer to avoid. The music volume can also be a bit too loud for those looking to study or have conversations.
