    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!

    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!

    Overpriced and relentlessly mediocre, but I guess that's to be expected when you go to one of the only restaurants on a tourist island. I got chicken rice soup (a daily special, I think), and it tasted somewhat canned, but at least it was a good can. My friend said his cubano was ok. Hot dog was tough. I regret not packing lunch instead. There are lots of gorgeous picnicky places around the island.

    Cristo Grilled Sandwich with garden salad $14 (5/28/18)

    I went here around 3:45pm on Memorial Day before the boat arrived to pick us up to get back to SF. This is pretty no frills. You order your food; they give you a number and you sit and they'll bring you your food. You get your own utensils and napkins. Food: 3.5/5 stars I ordered one of their daily specials, which was a Cristo Grilled Sandwich for $14, which had ham, bacon and cheese in it, and came with a small garden salad. They didn't ask me what kind of dressing I wanted so I assume the vinaigrette they used on it was the default. The sandwich was pretty greasy, but the bread had nice grill marks and was crispy and pretty good after a long hike. The salad was a bit too acidic for my taste, and it only had like 3 cherry tomatoes... Would I come back? Well, there's not much food options on Angel Island so I'll probably try and bring my own food next time, but the food is not bad, although the ice cream is a total rip off at around $3-4+ for ice cream bars you can buy at like Safeway...

    Yummy Nacho cheese! After about 2hrs of hiking, we sat down on this cafe and ordered nacho cheese while waiting for our ferry back to sf. It took little longer (about 15-20 mins) to get our nacho but it was worth it! Very tasty and huge portion! With tax, it was around $~15! Nice place to relax and chill with friends after a short hike around angel island!

    First time on Angel Island! Hurrah! Can't believe it took me this long to visit after living here for so many years. Went on the 5 mile hike and our ferry back was hours away. I don't know why I thought I wouldn't be hungry but I was ravenous after the hike. We didn't bring anything besides a couple snacks so we ended up buying food here although we did consider trying to buy a hot dog off the 500 people who came purely to BBQ and picnic on the island. The line is pretty long and slow moving. They serve typical cafe foods plus local wines and beer which is nice. I got the veggie wrap which is basically an entire wrap of coleslaw. To be fair it was huge but unlike any wrap I've ever gotten. This was the only place open so options are limited. Considering this, they could be charging way more for their food but prices are pretty reasonable. My friend got a big turkey corndog for only $5. The beer is $4 and my wrap was $9. I thought about getting the tuna melt but read a review about how horrible it was and didn't want to spent $15 on a bad sandwich. We were able to get a table but it got pretty cut throat with this crazy woman trying to take our table when we had zero plans to leave. Make sure to get there as early as you can before the ferry comes because it will definitely get packed. Self serve water and condiments. The yellow mustard pump was actually dijon. One bottle of hot sauce for all diners. Best part of this place is the view

It's a bougie coffee spot in Tiburon (one of the richest neighborhoods in the Bay Area) and the view definitely lives up to the location. They have glass windows everywhere where you can see the mountains where the 10 million dollar homes sit on or have the view of the bay. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can soak it all in either way. The drinks were the highlight for me. The chai latte had a good spiciness to it and wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciate. And the affogato? Amazing. Absolutely get the affogato. One big miss though -- they have a variety of pastries in a glass container, but I saw flies flying around inside it. That's a big no no for me and completely turned me off from wanting any. Hopefully they get that sorted, because the pastries looked tempting otherwise. Heads up: parking nearby is paid, so plan for that. Overall a lovely spot for a scenic coffee morning -- just stick to the drinks for now.

The view from the cafe and their outdoor patio is beautiful. We ordered a peach scone, an oat milk latte, and a chamomile tea. It was nice to see that the chamomile tea came with a teapot and made about 3 1/2 cups of tea. The latte was served in a nice glass and paired really nicely with the peach scone, which also wasn't too sweet. I loved the interior seating and lighting; it's nice that they seem to have musical events going on, too. The service is friendly, albeit a little slow when it gets busy, which is to be expected. It's also nice that they are open a little later than other nearby coffee shops and bakeries, too.

They did microwave the quiche for me... surprised they didn't have some for of oven. Honestly, none of it was good and after picking at it I threw most of the $22 order in the trash. An expensive waste of money. Additionally, they were calling someone a "puta" (a vulgar insult for a b*** or wh***) directly in front of me. Like just because I'm not Latino doesn't mean I can't speak Spanish. Very poor customer experience with immature / unprofessional staff. The ambience is similar to any other cafe.

I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.
