Terrible terrible service..food is also mediocre. I ordered several things and did not get half of my order. I am beyond disappointed but I probably should not have left the city to go eat at treasure island and I blame myself for even going here. Don't bother and they get one star for their patio other than that don't bother. The beets were just slapped onto to a dish with no attempt to present the dish. The pizza looked like a frozen pizza and the burrata was def not my idea of burrata...pretty bad. read more

I would love to be able to give this place 5 stars, because the space is charming and the food was delicious. But the service was so negligent that I had to knock off two stars... Lets start with the positives: - really cute space both indoors and outdoors with plenty of seating - well rounded menu of both lunch and breakfast items - reasonably priced - truly delicious fried chicken sandwich. Really really delicious! Unfortunately the services was so bad that I cannot wholeheartedly recommend it. Unless you like being ignored that is.... Here's how it went: I walked in, just before noon on a Thursday, to find a half empty restaurant with three staff, none of whom looked up or in any way bothered to acknowledge my presence. I walked up to the bar, behind which two of the staff were standing, but they still didn't look up until I said - "Can I just sit anywhere?" They looked at me as if I was interrupting and inconveniencing them, but did finally seat me - at a two top in the middle of the (mostly empty) restaurant even though there were more comfortable bench seats available around the perimeter of the room. When I asked for one of those tables, they said they were saving them for larger groups (who, just as an aside, never materialized). Despite there not being many people in the place, it took them quite awhile to take my order. Then, after delivering my food, no one ever came by to make sure that it was okay. Once I was finished, my empty plate sat on the table for a good ten minutes without anyone coming by to see if I needed anything else or wanted my check. Since I had places to go I finally just got up and went to the bar to pay my tab. Again, it took some moments for them to acknowledge me and then another five minutes for them to run my card. Now, any one of these things wouldn't be such a big deal. But in combination I was made to feel as if I was unwelcome and unappreciated as a customer. I highly recommend that the owner/manager work on this with the staff, because it would then make the place absolutely 5 star! read more

Aracely is clean, has a great atmosphere, and has a variaty of different foods. I don't normally come to treasure island so i've only been at Aracely Cafe once. The only time i was there was during brunch and I got the eggs benedict because thats usually my go-to at any cafe and I use that as a threshhold for if a place is good or not. Aracely passed with flying colors. I'll be back when I have the chance. read more

Nice place on Treasure island. Great relaxing atmosphere and service. Thank you Linda. Great not only for locals, but when you visit TI for views, festivals, flea market - it would be a great stop for brunch. Will go there again for sure. read more

We found this place randomly while we were there for a sports event. The food was fantastic. I mean, really great. Croissant French toast, pork bellyeggs Benedict, a carnitas chillaquilles And the prices were really good. The outdoor seating area was lovely. The only reason I didn't give them five stars was the service was HORRIBLE. It took forever and other tables around us were complaining, too. And they didn't seem Too concerned about it. We have been there twice now and both times it was the same. But, the food is really, really good. Just expect poor service. read more

I have been to the Aracely Cafe only once during their brunch hours and it was quite intriguing and welcoming in this charming little space. I had their benedict with jalapeno hollandaise and pickled vegetables and it was a perfect meal with the right balance of acidity and sweetness for my palate. I had a blast eating here. The environment was just amazing!! Parking can be somewhat of a challenge at times, however, the food is definitely worth it. I recommend this place for a good time and exciting food if you are ever in the area and looking for somewhere to hang out. read more

Food not that impressive. I got an egg Benedict, and it was spicy with a bit butter taste. Service is slow and not well trained. Sevice was watery and not equally marinated. read more

One of the best brunches I have had in the city. It is tucked away in this adorable part of treasure island and has an incredible outdoor seating area. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, we had the croissant French toast and ocean trout tostadas and both were unbelievable !! It is the perfect spot for a girls brunch or for friends visiting from out of town. They accommodate larger groups wells. We have about 8 and they were super great. I can't wait to go back read more

Chrissy is the BEST!!! I went to a wedding here today and it was amazing. Chrissy went above and beyond to help me any chance she had. She's great!! read more

Recommend this hidden brunch location! Seating in includes fire pits and sofas to enjoy a coffee and chat. We opted to sit at a table for two. I ordered an Eggs Benedict with a side of sweet potato fries. The price was incredibly fair. Two lows of our brunch: coffees were not provided until after we had our food and the water cups were still dirty with finger prints all over the glass. I would look twice before drinking from these cups. Overall, great experience and would go back! read more

Aracely Cafe - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the only places to eat on this island. Plenty of parking for an 18 Wheeler. It is a really nice place with outside area and fire places. Staff is really nice. The steak , wild mushrooms, and red potatoes are to die for. I will def be stopping here again on the future. read more

These guys have excellent food. There's not much choice on the island, but these guys make good food. Empanadas and good coffee in the morning. A little pricey so not an everyday spot, but very good. read more

Located on Treasure Island, the Aracely Cafe is a real gem (get it?) At brunch recently we had awesome versions of 3 brunch classics: crepes, Eggs Benedict and French toast. The crepes were filled with a coconut macaroon concoction and topped with blackberries and pistachios. Eggs Benedict featured smoked trout and sautéed leeks and zucchini. And the French toast came with beautiful, fresh peaches and a dreamy dulce de leche cream cheese topping. Lots of other tempting-looking items on the menu. Service was friendly and competent. The space itself is pretty and comfortable with a large outdoor area featuring a fire pit, a vertical succulent garden on one wall, and strings of lights overhead. We combined our brunch with a bike ride around the island which is a combination of mind-blowing vistas and post-apocalyptic wasteland. Loved it and will definitely be back. read more

Talking about a place to brunch during summer or throughout the year this is it. Managing a Dental office I'm all about customer services and Lety is the best at that. Always making sure our food comes out at the same time, drinks are always on point and the ambiance of the place makes it even better. Lety always makes sure you have the BEST experience at Aracely's. Thank you, Lety! read more

Delicious food, beautiful decor and great prices. I would highly recommend this little diamond in the rough!

I came here for brunch with a group of my friends, and no one was disappointed. The croissant french toast and its accompaniments were UNREAL. The staff are nice and attentive. The decor is beautiful. I recommend this place. read more

Stopped at this cafe while visiting Treasure Island for some wine tasting. After a couple minutes of one staffer walking by us and not acknowledging us or seating us, we spoke up and sat ourselves. Outside of that incident, the service was very nice and pleasant. I got the bison burger with the roasted potatoes and an iced tea. The bison burger was really good. There was something on it that made it a little spicy, so just a warning for those that don't like spicy things. Overall, the meal was tasty and was a nice little place to grab a bite before enjoying the wine tasting. read more

This is thus far (and by far) the best food on the island. We've been going here for brunch since it opened and it's consistently amazing food and service. We're so excited that just recently they're open on Thursday and Friday nights and even have salsa lessons most Thursday nights. We like to get bottomless mimosas at brunch and sangria in the evening hours and I've never ordered any dish that wasn't prepared perfectly and beautifully plated. The coffee and baked goods are fresh every morning and I especially love the scones. So many good things to say about this place but don't take my word for it, go check it out! read more

A hidden gem on the island. Looks to be in what used to be the base elementary school. Great for before or after wine tasting. Food presentation was fairly creative and good value. I would go there again. In fact my wife and I are planning on going there again. read more

Love this place. Cozy, classy, and very chic! Love the lunch menu selection and Sunday Morning breakfast!

Visited on a quiet Saturday but despite the restaurant being near empty, from time of ordering drinks took 45 minutes (yes, 45 minutes) to be served, food took even longer. Service in general was slow, half the meals were finished before the final meal was bought to the table, no apologies were offered. Manager was rude and unaccepting of any requests (including to sit in the shade). The only saving grace is the food which was really great. read more

A delightful place to get brunch or a coffee if you're on Treasure Island. Both their indoor and outdoor seating is comfortable, the rotating menu is small but I've never had a dish here that I didn't greatly enjoy. Aracely Cafe is an out-of-the-way gem, and not far from fantastic views on the shores of the island. I recommend this place, though you'll want to get reservations if you visit on the weekend (especially when the weather is nice). read more

Visited this restaurant this afternoon, and what a pleasant surprise it was. Ordered the chicken and jasmine rice bowl with mushrooms. Lots of different flavors, but not one was overpowering. Not salty either, which too many places now have a problem with. My wife had the egg in the hole, cooked to perfection. Again, lots of flavors but not one taking over. Topped it off with coffee and a blueberry scone, made with some cornmeal flour. Total with tax and 18% tip came to $40.00. A bargain today, and we left satisfied with the amount of food served. Easy parking, great service, including our server and the young woman outside who greeted us into the restaurant. Owner is very on hands, and the place is spotless in and out. A+‼ read more

Over the years, the quality of service/attentiveness for the customer has went down. They have a lot of turn over, I have tried coming back hoping that maybe it was just an off day. Sadly I won't be returning. The Owner and the Manager are super sweet that's why I gave the restaurant 2 stars. read more

Pricey but tasty. Good service and a nice ambiance. I'm not a fan of the coffee they use but their baked pop over.

It was beautiful Sunday! Until me and my fiance came here! I am a regular, and never experienced anything like this!!!! We were not seated, then we waited for 30 minutes for anyone to come talk to us. We ordered food an coffee and waited for 30 min and even water was not served to us. Then a musician moved us from our place because they need to set up and none of the waiters didn't help us move. We waited again, until we got the food all messed up... Instead of sausage they served bacon, instead of trouble they served the pork belly. They said that to redo it will take time...even not admitting their mistake or even apologizing. Even to get check took forever.In the places who care about their customers, at least someone would apologize for all of this. read more

Perhaps it was an off day. Service was poor. Curt condescending hostess and inattentive waiters. The acclaimed Croissant French Toast was actually flat and the grilled fruit was cold. read more

The food is great but the wait is unbearable. They can't get that part down, and it's enough of an issue I won't go back. Tried them twice, and both times they said it would take 15-20 minutes and first time it took an hour 2nd time cancelled my order. I understand restaurants have long waits. Just set expectations accordingly so I can make a decision if I want to order at the place or go with a Plan B. read more

Went here for brunch yesterday with a party of 18 and we were very happy with the location, atmosphere, food, prices & service! The menu has something for everyone...from sweets like Nutella crepes, to savory egg dishes like chilaquiles & eggs benedict, to healthy & delicious salads like the one topped with ahi and the ocean trout tostadas, and much more! Portions are generous too! We honestly had zero complaints :) I look forward to returning again in the future! read more

Very cute and charming cafe. It is unique and has a good feel to it. Nice little gem on Treasure Island. Will come again.

It took over an hour for our food to come out after we ordered it. It was not even busy! Service was terrible we did not even have a waiter but someone who you could tell normally is a bus boy. When asked about some bread to hold us over since it had been an hour since we ordered they acted like that was a strange request. Also bottomless mimosas were not really worth it since it's such an effort to get a refill. Nice location but go to a winery and picnic on Treasure Island if you really want to enjoy yourself. Go here and be very disappointed! read more

A bit pricey but good food, east bay and SF friends can meet halfway!

Very nice atmosphere, you don't even know your on treasure island. I had trellises, blooming flowers everywhere, it's really nice. And inside it's very trendy. The food was good. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad, they called it something else but that's basically what it was. I would go back for brunch again read more

A hidden gem! We were there for breakfast. Everything about the food was outstanding but the best was the positive attentive service read more

Nice service and great ribs. Burger was over done but had good flavor. Location is odd but the ambiance was good.

Came by here with a few friends for a birthday brunch. We had reservations on a Saturday morning but they weren't needed as there was tons of space. We were seated immediately outside under the umbrellas. We ordered the Egg Scramble, Chilaquiles, and Eggs Benedict. Each of us cleared out plates in no time. Entrees were delicious and portions were just perfect. Our waitress was wonderful and even offered to make us a cocktail that wasn't on the menu. We will definitly be coming back! read more

This was my favorite restaurant of my entire vacation. It's a hidden gem and very cute interior with the option of outdoor seating. We had the Caesar salad and the avocado toast (which was delicious). We also got burgers to go which everyone enjoyed. Be aware that it does take some time to actually get your food though.. I will definitely be going back! read more
