    Huevos Rancheros

    Came here for breakfast while we were in Minocqua and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! It's your typical diner menu, and indoor diner setting. We were able to sit at the counter without a wait, but about an hour earlier, it was a one hour wait. So if it's a busy weekend for the area, expect to have a wait to get seated. Our service was good and the price was fair. No complaints!

    First time here and wow! So nice to find a place to eat (whether cafe, diner, restaurant, etc) especially since moving up here to the northwoods that has a pleasant ambience. Very clean upon entry and seating, as well as the restroom. Our server was awesome, welcoming and very friendly. She was patient and bubbly while our children chatted her up a storm, haha. It was extremely refreshing to see other guests and the staff to not be wearing masks or being demanded to have a mask until seated. And of course, the food! Very delicious, did not disappoint. I myself had a caramel macchiato (very good considering it's difficult to find good coffee of any kinds in the northwoods lol!) and the farmers breakfast. My husband enjoyed his cranberry mimosa (VERY YUM!) and corned beef hash. Thanks Island Cafe for being a part of our weekend!

    Farmers Breakfast with American fries

    Still good and one of my favorites after all these years. It is also for the most part largely unchanged. Sadly the chai shake and other ice cream selections are no longer available. Also I'm not sure what the lunch situation is. At 12:40 I was told that the lunch menu was "not available" yet. An all day breakfast menu is featured. One of my new favorite menu items is the Farmers Breakfast. This is scrambled eggs with sausage, green pepper, mushroom, and onion. It is not served over hash browns or American fries, but that would be available as a side extra. I wish I had more info on lunch; however, I'm glad they are still here and good.

    Veggie frittata with fried potatoes and fruit. Plus a mocha and I was in heaven

    I've been coming to the Island Cafe for years. I've had such good food and service over the years. I've had the Greek food - the artichoke dip is so good as is the egg lemon soup. When I was still eating meat I had excellent salmon. They have a good selection for us vegetarians- some super good sandwiches!! I LOVE their breakfasts. Last time I went I had a frittata with roasted potatoes and fruit. It was just delicious. When I come for lunch in the summer I try to time it before or after th true lunch rush so I can be assured of outdoor seating. It is so enjoyable. Consistently good food for many years!

    I visited this little place for the first time the last week of July 2020. They were operating fully except that their outdoor patio was closed. I thought this was very strange to have indoor dining open but not outdoor. Definitely a missed opportunity to promote public safety. We got food to go because we weren't comfortable dining in. The honey and cinnamon latte I had was ok, both times I got lattes there were coffee grounds on the bottom. The food was delicious and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to grab lunch. I would visit one of the other local cafes if you are just looking for coffee. Service was a little slow but I didn't mind since I was on vacation.

    Extremely Rude. Called to ask if they took reservations and got a sarcastic response finished with "immediacy".

    Great service, Greek food, and therefore great value. Good wines/beers and a nice menu to satisfy everyone. Solid choice in Minocqua.

    Worst service ever. We watched other tables come in, eat, and leave, while all we got was coffee. Finally paid for coffee and left.

    The waitress didn't offer us straws and mentioned saving the turtles, and the monte cristo French toast was incredible.

    Had a Turkey Reuben, which they call a Rachel. Excellent! The kids loved the pizza, which was great too.

    Love the menu here. Food is fresh and we'll made. Great coffees and other drinks. Old cafe charm. A little pricey, but worth it.
