Cute cafe with amazing bowls!
Very beautiful cafe with a nice tropical vibe and design with attention to the details.
But whatever they sell as Chocolate Lava is, honestly, undrinkable. Extremely sweet bland milk with a hint of some cheap chocolate powder. Hands down the worst hot chocolate I've ever tasted, had to throw the whole cup.
Please, change this item in the menu, i don't know who would drink that.
Coffee was fine ☕
It's an amazing cafe with very beautiful interiors, service, and quality standards for food needing a bit more work
Friendly staff, knowledgeable and great food + drinks. Favorite local coffee shop
Good place to chill.
They have the best Acai Bowls!!!
I had an amazing experience at Islands Cafe! The vibe here is so laid-back and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax. The couches are super comfy, ideal for lounging with a coffee or enjoying a meal. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, really making you feel at home. And the food? Absolutely delicious – everything is fresh, flavorful. Definitely a five-star experience all around! I can't wait to come back!

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.
The perfect neighbourhood spot. Great people. Good prices. Tasty food and coffee. Had a smoothie one day and a breakfast bagel the next. 10/10.

Went to Islands Cafe with friends on Sunday afternoon to catch up on old times. The name is "Island", and the sign on the doorway with white walls and black windows reads ALOHA. It should be a cafe that mainly sells Hawaiian coffee beans!
After pushing the door open, some decorations in the corner of the store confirmed my guess: a sculpture of beach shorts on the counter, photos of the seaside on the wall, and surfboards hanging from the ceiling as decoration.
According to the cafe’s official website, owner Robb hopes to pass on his love for surfing and Hawaii to the community and people around him through coffee beans from Hawaii.
Therefore, the latte milk foam we got was printed with a cute turtle chocolate powder pattern, called Kokomo Americano, with a large white rose floating on it - the aroma of coconut was overwhelming, and it was the milk foam whipped with coconut milk. What’s amazing is that the coconut aroma fills your mouth, but it doesn’t overwhelm the mellow taste of coffee.
I think I can visit again, and the Acai Bowl on the menu is on my next order list!

Aside from lovely coffees and treats and snacks, my experiences here are always uplifting. I'm a little scatterbrained so when I forget to ask for oatmilk, at least one of the baristas will come up and ask if I want it. It's little things like this that make a cafe feel like a community space. Thank you to all the kind and helpful staff here 🤙 also the chocolate macadamia nut latte is delicious I definitely recommend it
