Overdue and super late post. I almost forgot. This happened sometime in July. Went hiking w my niece and friends. Never realized that we will enjoy the hike here. It was way more than we expected. We took the ferry from Tiburon and had fun with the short 12 minutes ride of the oceanview. There were actually 2 different routes. The longer but easier and more flat pavement, or the shorter one but more steep with downhill and uphill trail. We took the shorter one but it still took us 2 hours to complete them. It was fun though! We wanted to rent some bike but didn't have time to do it since we had to leave before 3 pm. You can also bring food and beverages since there's a lot of picnic table. Maybe, when we come back here, we will need to plan more accordingly so we can do both the biking and picnic. On top of it all, the amazing views of the whole bay area and east bay are awesome while hiking. Will definitely come back!

I loved my visit to Angel Island (and the cafe)! The cafe has the perfect balance of food, drinks, and casual souvenirs. It was my first stop after getting off the ferry. If you forget water or want a small snack before your hike, this is the place to go. I decided to get some early lunch, so I ordered the Chili Dog and Pretzel Dog. Both were delicious (and the bun tasted fantastic), but unfortunately I'm subtracting one star because my Chili Dog was missing cheese. It still tasted great, but the description on the menu said "Chili Dog w/ Cheese, Onion & Jalapeños." Otherwise, the staff were incredibly friendly, and I loved the views from the patio. This is a great place to sit and decompress. They even have wine by the glass!

This was the only food option on the island so my group stopped here for lunch. There is a limited menu right now and by the time we got there around 11:30 they had sold out of the vegetarian burrito. I ended up getting the steak burrito as hot food is typically safer than cold food. I wish I had gotten the pbj or something bc it was not a great burrito at all. The inside was dry and the meat was definitely old. It had a strange plasticy after taste. It ended up giving me heartburn during the hike :/ . Next time I would just bring my own sandwich or grab chips/snacks. There was a variety of packaged snacks that seemed good though! The owner was nice and quickly accommodated our large group.

Not much to eat here but it's the only thing open on angel island right now, so it'll do the job if you're despy. They had some pre-packaged fridged turkey sandwiches and PBJs. That was the only real food, and they also had snacks like chips, cookies, trail mix, things of that sort. My boyfriend got a turkey sandwich which was quite meh (but you can't expect more) - it's a no frills type of store, similar to a gas station. As long as you're aware that you aren't going to a full-on cafe for a meal, you'll be fine.
My boys bought a hotdog, the nachos and a Diet Pepsi to tide them over while we waited for the ferry back to San Francisco. Nachos tasted decent and filled three young men up. The staff was friendly. All in all a pleasant experience.

We checked the website before our excursion to Angel Island and the Cafe looked like it had a great menu. After our long walk around the island, we were so looking forward to our lunch. Instead all they offered were a few packaged mediocre sandwiches (ham& cheese or peanut butter and jelly) chips, and drinks. All super overpriced. We split a sandwich, chips and a beer for $20. Not what we had hoped for. Next time we will definitely bring our own lunch. There were lots of picnic places around the island that would have been a better place to eat.

I came here with my friend a week after the mask mandate was lifted. The ferry to and from the island was packed, but the ride was only about 20 minutes long. On the island, the cafe was a small shack, which had a line circling inside the store and out the door. They carried chips, candy bars, cliff bars, bananas, yogurt, hotdogs, sandwiches, and merchandise. We grabbed a ham sandwich and pb & j. They were simple sandwiches but came out to be a whopping $18. Next time I'm going to try to grab food beforehand.

This is where they sell Magnets but it was limited options & designs when we went. Museum was not open either so not much up buy. There were some postcards.

Awesome and delicious food, I love the ambience the spot has, and the cashiers were welcoming. I will definitely visit here when I’m around.
Cafe closed but at google maps shows like open.
