I remember being on the first customers here when it opened in summer of 2024. One of the last times i went it took 5 minutes for someone to ask what i want to order at the counter. I Still miss the old cafe but sadly it burnt down last year.

Gorgeous café but super kind and friendly staff. The ladies were so sweet with my 11 year old daughter when we went to visit the island in October. The soup bowls were very hearty and the deserts were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Visited the island on a brisk fall day. Went into The Island Cafe to warm up before the ferry. It was busy, they had a steady flow of people coming through, a mix of tourists and locals. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a hot chocolate. Cookie was average, not bad, but not something I would order again. The hot chocolate was not good. Tasted watery, like only half the required cocoa was added. The cost is on the premium side for what you get. I don’t plan on returning but fine in a pinch if you have no other option.

Me and my family visited the Toronto Islands yesterday and we stopped at the Island Cafe for a quick bite to eat and some drinks - totally not expecting the exceptional quality of food and even better service (shout out to sandwich and ice cream stand manager MIA!!!)!!! I especially recommend the Ham and Brie sandwich: crispy and fluffy baguette bread and a butter and Brie cheese combo that made me want to order a second sandwich!!! I will most definitely be going back to try the ice cream and other menu offerings at the Island Cafe. Thanks so much, Mia, for making a Thanksgiving memory EXTRAORDINARY!

Not really packed but the server says kitchen is in the weeds if we wanted takeout it will be an hr wait Wow! Rip off prices from the booth for sandwiches. $15 for a foot long and $4 a muffin. But it's expected lol. Buy a pizza mainland and bring it over.

What a cute little spot with very cozy and soft pastel vibes! I got the breakfast sandwich, which was tasty, but maybe a little expensive for the size. I guess that's an Islands issue moreso than the venue's. The service was very friendly and pretty quick. Also, very clean washrooms!
One awesome lady work at the cafe were so funny regardless of the line up she never lost her composure and able to give anyone a great accomodation. . Her expertise? Wittingly funny! One thing I truly regret was, did not ask her name. One of most valuable worker among Island Cafe Staff.

Just a few steps away from the Ward's Island Ferry Dock is the Island Cafe.
Mostly patio seating which is great. Staff are friendly and good service but be prepared it does get busy on certain times. Food was fantastic I got the Pan Fried Fish which I'd recommend.

Pass on this place. Extremely small portions and the ice cream was probably Breyers frozen dessert.

Coolest experience of set up like farm to table but the restaurant is next to a chich farming project to support the initiative by thr city. The food here itself was excellent. The nachos were made with beans and pickled onions which gave them a unique flavor. I loved the drunken mussels and the shrimp. The vibe was nice, they had some clean washrooms and hand washing stations. Sitting here felt like total little island vibes. Surrounded by great views and tons of walking and activities. Convenient and fun stop. The afagatos were tasty! Our server was nice and friendly.

Really happy to see the Island Cafe up and running after the fire last year. Went to the new place for my birthday during the summer -- vibes are great as per the usual. Our server, Gabe, was the best. Good vegetarian options and seafood for those that enjoy.
