Aracely Cafe

After a challenging uphill bike ride from the east bay, we discovered this cafe, it was an unexpected oasis with a Caribbean vibe that instantly transported us. The decor was stylish and relaxing, making it feel like a little slice of paradise in an underdeveloped area. Though I was initially skeptical, the atmosphere won me over immediately, so we decided to give it a shot. The experience was flawless: from the creamy latte and the well seasoned Brussels sprouts to the tri tip sandwich (with even perfectly fried French fries), every bite was delightful. The lounge seating, outdoor fireplace, lively music, and attentive service all added to the charm. Especially in today’s inflated world, the reasonable prices were a pleasant surprise. It was just a quick stop, but I left feeling like I’d been on a mini tropical getaway. Highly recommend!

A little gem. Delicious brunch and relaxing atmosphere. Friendly service. Cozy outdoor and indoor seating. Truffle garlic fries was tasty. Fresh squeeze juices were excellent way to start the day in sunny Treasure Island. It took awhile to notice the entrance next to a park and apartment buildings. The egg Benedict’s with grilled quinoa Pattie’s and smoked ham was creative. The pork belly egg in a whole was juicy and excellent caramelized pork belly. The winner was the warm dark chocolate macadamia brownie served warm and soft. Overall a great place to stop by on the way to San Francisco.

We came here for a party if 16 on Mother’s Day. The atmosphere was AMAZING. Gorgeous outside dining patio complete with a cool 3 piece jazz band. The food was all delicious. Something for everyone, really. The kitchen was so generous and accommodating. Did little things like sent out a complimentary Mother’s Day petit four dessert platter and also made veggie empanadas when they realized a few of us didn’t eat meat. Lexi our server was kind, knowledgeable, graceful, hospitable and so on top of everything even on the busy busy day. I’d recommend Aracely for any small to large sized meal/event/occasion. Every mother in our party thought I was the star of the day— thank you Team Aracely

This was such an amazing experience. The outside patio was beautiful along with extremely attentive and friendly service. Top that the food was extremely good and not overly priced. Great value. We will be back again and make this place a regular stop to gather some friends!

The dishes and food flavors were immpeccable. Twists on traditional recipes along with dishes not commonly found in white table cloth bay area restaurants. Coming here was a fantastic find and we will surely return for more.

I visited this cafe because someone in the review section posted a nice view of treasure island. But when I actually went to the place there was no such view. Very limited vegetarian options. Ordered Avocado Toast, Roasted Cauliflowers and Latte. It has nice outdoor dining with a fire so we had a nice time.

Great service Great vibe Tucked away but so worth looking for Amazing place to get some work done, write or draw 1) matcha late 2) chamomile tea

What a gem! Excellent hand made cocktails, Superb tender octopus goes well with the perfectly toasted sourdough, Fresh ceviche, Delicate cardamom pancakes. Everything was WOW! Outdoor seating was inviting; however we chose the most comfortable indoor corner table and I could have stayed all day!

I really wanted to like Aracely Cafe based on what I've read and seen on Yelp and Zolo, but my fiancée and I were disappointed during our recent dinner. We weren't greeted upon entry, had a wobbly table no one bothered to fix, received a rare steak when we had ordered it medium-rare, and didn't initially get the chimichurri that was supposed to come with the steak. The food itself was good but nothing stood out, especially for the price. We got the truffled garlic fries ($12), the pork belly lettuce cups ($12), the pan-seared ocean trout ($32), and the grilled tri tip ($44). -- Food ratings: Truffled garlic fries (2/5) - lacking garlic flavor, almost tasted like regular fries. I also think that ketchup is a "safe" condiment pairing and it would be better off with some kind of aioli. The price also wasn't listed on the menu for some reason. Pork belly lettuce cups (4/5) - pork belly was tender & flavorful, and the apple/mint slaw helped balance the fattiness of the meat. Pan-seared ocean trout (4/5) - perfectly pan seared and was complimented nicely by the lemon sauce and the salad it was served with. Grilled tri tip (3/5) - after having it cooked to medium-rare, the tri tip itself didn't have much flavor and relied to heavily on the pan sauce for seasoning, so it tasted unbalanced. The chimichurri is what really helped the tri tip shine, but $44 is a little bit steep -- maybe if it were a ribeye the pricing would make more sense. This plate also came with french fries that wasn't listed on the menu. -- The ambiance of the outdoor seating is cozy and I can see how they can accommodate for weddings. However, during our dinner, there were a lot of little "misses" that took away from the overall experience. Maybe we will try again for brunch since the food really does look good.

Ordered the olives, Brussels sprouts and chanterelle mushroom bowl. Highlight was the Brussels sprouts ! Portion size was great for all. Staff friendly too. If you came late at night, don't be dissuaded by the long road, many turns into what feels like a dead body drop off point. The place is very cute and decorated really well. Great for a date night pre- whiskey bar

Made a reservation on Resy for 2:15. When we arrived, the host reminded us that they closed at 3. Overall, we felt rushed. The outside patio is always nice. It's very sunny with wall succulents, but at this time was empty of customers. Having been here before, I was looking forward to my go to order: the prosciutto crepe. They changed it from two smaller crepes to one large one. I don't know if it was because they were closing soon but the dish overall was oily and not thought out.

Came to visit my friend since she recently moved to Treasure Island and she told me this is the ONLY brunch place on the island?? Nonetheless, this place does not disappoint. From the cafe layout, aesthetics, to the food, everything was great! The ambience: It's giving Saturday brunch on a warm sunny day with the girlies. If you want to sit indoors, you can sit on a comfy soft couch or wooden bench. There is also a cozy fireplace inside the cafe! If you choose to sit outdoors, there is a patio with a few tables outside but only a few underneath an umbrella so be mindful of this on sunny days! We decided to sit around a firepit on an outdoor sofa. The sofa was comfy but the firepit combined with the sun = free hot sauna haha.. 9/10 The food: We ordered the Croissant French Toast to share and my friend ordered the Olive Oil Waffles with a side of chicken (essentially chicken and waffles). I honestly don't remember the name of the item I ordered and also couldn't find it when I looked at the menu.. Oopsie! But I believe it's their omelet. Nonetheless, the food was great! The omelet dish I ordered was a bit too watery for my liking but the Croissant French Toast was delish! The dulce de leche cream cheese was particularly delectable! 8/10 There is also tons of parking around the area and the waitress was super attentive! 10/10 for service.

We came here after TreasureFest & wasn't all that impressed. One of the members in our party ordered a burger with no aioli & a side salad, & received a burger with fries. When asked to send it back, the waitress seemed like we had changed our order... We had to ask for water, & we asked for an additional bottle, it was never brought to our table. They were out of the 3 beers we requested, limiting the menu. Waiting for a glass of wine took over 20 minutes. Mind you, it wasn't that busy. The asparagus salads we got were very tasty, & the tri tip sandwich was "okay". Don't think we will be coming back.

Came here on the weekend for lunch as we were already in the area for an event nearby. There was plenty of parking outside. The outdoor / garden dining area had plenty of seating and even a fire pit. The courtyard area was being decorated for a wedding later that night. We opted to eat inside. Inside was comfortable and trendy. It had both rustic and contemporary design elements. I got a whole grain bowl and a cappuccino with almond milk. Both were excellent. I felt the whole grain bowl was unique with the pea tendrils and fava bean sauce. Portions exceeded my expectations for this type of restaurant. Would definitely order both again. The only slight downside of our experience was that service was very slow. Overall, great hidden gem and worth checking out if you are on Treasure Island!

Definitely the food/cafe gem on Treasure Island. It's quite cute and comfortable place with both indoor and patio seating. BOUILLABAISSE with sea bass, shrimp, clams, mussels $21 So glad I got this. This dish was so comforting with so many poppin seafood! Wish they had side bread to balance the tomato base. BURGER grass-fed beef, cheddar, caramelized onions $16 Big hearty burger. The cheese and onions really elevated this burger! Not my dish but bites of it satisfied the "I need bread with my stew" feeling haha. LATTE - solid, I don't think there's other places in this island haha After our lunch, we walked to the waterfront. It's also connected to a church where they were having an event. Double blessings!

Everything was good, but not great. Cute spot and definitely a good option given the area.

A really good 4 stars. Despite it being in the middle of a residential area with no other retail areas nearby, the vibes are great. Very clean, modern, and cozy indoor area with about 5 tables. As for the outdoor area, there is a beautiful gravel courtyard with market lights, a trailer, fire pits, and about 15 tables/benches. It feels a bit like Napa or something like that. As for the food, it was very good. The croissant french toast was incredible. Really unique, citrusy flavor and not too sweet. The fried chicken and waffles were also very yummy and high quality but a bit overpriced. I loved the salsa verde on the chicken but the additional chipotle sauce was a bit of a weird/overwhelming flavor mix. I would have liked a classic gravy or something more neutral to accompany the distinctive salsa verde. The lattes are good but nothing too special. The service was ok. Very slow and not particularly friendly or timely, but not bad in any way. Overall, a positive experience. I'd recommend for sure if you're already in treasure island but I wouldn't go out of my way to come to the island for this restaurant.

Tucked away in treasure island, aracely cafe has cute indoor space and spacious outdoor space that is pup friendly. The menu has a nice variety of items and service was friendly. Food was decent and came relatively fast. Each dish is about $20-30 and drinks 10-20. It's just a mile away from the panoramic park with amazing views of the city.

Great new place we tried tucked away on Treasure Island. Cute and trendy decor. Seating inside and outside with private space for party's. They were having a wedding on the day we visited. Great place for bridal or baby shower as well. Service was good. I gave the place only 4 stars because we had to ask for things like water a couple of times. Food was great. Creative and tasty. Here's what we ordered: - sautéed octopus - VERY tender and great smoky flavor - Braised Beef Short ribs - very tender and flavorful served with creamy mash potatoes. One of the special of the day. - Croissant French Toast - a nice twist on traditional French toast - halibut sandwich with fries - flavorful and meaty fish fillet. - Brussels sprout nice and caramelized with good flavor. - pumpkin Mac n cheese. Good pasta texture but couldn't really taste the pumpkin.

Really great dining experience on Treasure Island! Aracely cafe was a recommendation from a local and it did not disappoint! The venue is super cute and intimate with a beautiful bar and fireplace. Our waitress recommended the avocado toast and it was super tasty and well balanced with a little bit of heat and acidity. My friend really enjoyed the chilaquiles and the meat I tried was super tender and succulent. I enjoyed the lamb stew, which was packed with tender and flavorful lamb pieces alongside vegetables and served with toasted bread. All in all a great meal.

Cute outdoor area though restaurant is a bit middle of nowhere feeling. Service was a bit slow but overall didn't negatively affect the experience. Food was delicious though pricey for the portion size. Got the trip tip sandwich and loved the peppers and mushrooms cut super thin, though it was half the size I expected for the price. Added on the roasted cauliflower as a side for an extra $3 and it was worth it. Perfectly roasted with creamy hummus and the nuts and cheese really rounded it out.

We love this hidden jewel. Friendly service, great ambiance. Try to stop in every time we come from San Diego. Food is good and love the decor.

Located on treasure island. 10 mins drive from the bay bridge exit. Beautiful and spacious restaurant. Cute place to have get together or celebration. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating with a full bar. 1 bathroom. Plenty of parking spaces. Foods and drinks was delicious. Good portion size. Great attentive service. Cake allowed with $3.50 pp fee.

Definitely a hidden gem, not just of the city but hard to find on the island! Treasure Island! It is nestled deep in the neck of this man made islands woods and found behind a clearing is the most charming, cute little spot with amazing outdoor seating replete with heaters to accommodate the winter months but beautiful scenery that comes alive in spring and summer. Spectacular and breathtaking view of police drills lol but try hard enough and you find yourself in a hidden paradise overall. I favored their take on classic dishes like the all American burger, French toast, salads, avocado toast & oysters available; but I was not such a fan on their unique dishes like the healthy wild Whole Grain Bowl with Pork Shoulder. Not that it didn't taste good, but the medley was just missing something to make it more than a slush pile of healthy choices. Or maybe it was just me! I am not afraid yet to try what else they have to offer and while I certainly won't be driving in traffic to come here, I would time it appropriately and come in the morning or late night to enjoy their menu and ambiance again once more.

Great ambiance, vibe & cocktails recommend for an elevated experience on treasure island!

Love the fries. Not a huge fan of the avo toast - it was unfortunately too tart. Friendly service. Nice outdoor space. Fast casual meal.

The food was just okay and I felt like every dish they gave me was dirty. I love the location and it's cute but likely won't be back.

Aracely opens for Brunch bright and early at 8am, so it is a great place to hit after a morning bike ride across the bridge. The dishes are well priced as you can get a nice meal for under $20. The scones was unique and I would come back to get another. The burger was decent. It was your comfort burger which is always a great move when you are starving. I would come back here each time I'm in Treasure Island as they play great music and the restaurant has a great vibe.

I find myself in Treasure Island often now and this is a fabulous place to get food and coffee. Yes, the food and vibe is lovely but they can also make delicious coffee which means I sometimes just walk in to grab a to-go cup. The people who work here are so friendly and there is distinctly laid back island feeling here. Even a little bridge drive will apparently do that to a place.

Such a beautiful fun place for dinner and drinks. We were looking for a place to relax and have a cocktail when we found this place tuck away on treasure island. They have a happy hour and offer small delicious bites. We sat by the fire place inside but they also have one outside. This place is a must!

Lots of good food. I love the fire place area. Service is nice and friendly, atmosphere is fantastic. Happy hour 3-6 btw :)

I'm giving this place the benefit of the doubt and 4-stars bc it's so hard to make it as a small restaurant these days, they are nice people, the menu is interesting, and the food is fresh. That said, there were some disappointments. The empanadas were solid. The breakfast platter was as well. The person who ordered this enjoyed the eggs, potatoes and peppers. The apple cider braised chicken sandwich was also good, and unique. Everything came together to make great flavor. The biggest bummer was the chicken and waffles. For $28 you get one waffle and two bone-in chicken wings doused in sauce. This just felt wrong. The breakfast sandwich is described as being on a brioche bun. Instead it came on an unimpressive flat-bread type of thing. For $18, not worth it. The staff is nice and attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would give it another try but would stay away from high-priced items based on our experience. Too risky.

I've never been to a restaurant that I've made reservations for & waited for over an hour for, and the staff made 0 eye contact with us, & never came over to greet us, or take our order. Aracely Cafe staff on 7/4/24 was the worst I've ever experienced. We ended up leaving; never coming back here again.

This was a great stop while biking into and around the island. Refreshed us all for a nice grueling ride back up the hill.

Just in case you didn't know, there are exactly two restaurants on Treasure Island. The newer one is Mersea which offers panoramic views of the city from converted shipping containers (review: https://bit.ly/3IXbxtR). This restaurant was pretty well hidden behind a tall hedge across from an athletic field. I made a couple of wrong turns before I found it, and it was a surprising to see such a well-appointed interior space with a fireplace, fully stocked bar, and a large inviting terrace. I sat outside and was immediately impressed with the tempting menu (photo: https://bit.ly/3sjGIci). I had no idea what the background of the restaurant was but since discovered it is owned by chef Linda Edson who has quite a pedigree with French Laundry, Michael Mina's, and Gary Danko's on her resume. No wonder the menu wasn't a mix of bar bites. I decided to try two items. The first was the $12 Burrata, a creamy delight that featured Swiss chard, tat soi (a close cousin to bok choy), and garlic. It was placed on a caramelized onion tart and drizzled with basil oil (photo: https://bit.ly/3ojTBS8). Quite a treat. I went lighter on my main course with the $14 Butternut Squash Salad, generously portioned with fall greens on top and mixed with Brazil nuts, shallots, Bosc pear slices, and crumbled feta (photo: https://bit.ly/3okSDFA). The combo of the two plates really worked well for lunch. The biggest challenge for me was just getting on and off the island to get here since people on the bridge hate to slow down. Check their website to make sure it isn't closed for a private event. FOOD - 5 stars...classy dining fare with unique and fresh ingredients AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...an unexpected oasis deep in the island SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty attentive TOTAL - 5 stars...would definitely come back to try other menu items here RELATED - Exploring Treasure Island? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3KGq2nx

I absolutely loved everything about this place which is an hidden gem. From the decor to the outdoor, the brunch menu to the fuller menu the wine list. Staff were pleasant and attentive even though we swam in 30 minutes before the 3 pm closing time (on a Saturday).

Hoping it was just an off Sunday for them, but just a bad experience. No one ever came out to the place where it says to please wait. Four tables outside were seated and two inside and no one had food. The family of five next to us said they have been waiting 35 minutes for burgers. We waited 15 minutes for someone to bring a menu or water or acknowledge us and gave up. There's loud construction (on a Sunday) right outside the back door. Saw four people working there but no one doing anything.

Suoer sad to rate this cafe with 1 star but the service was, well there was none. We went on July 4th with reservations and after waiting 5 min by the door with no acknowledgment we asked at the bar and seated ourselves, got our own menus and waited as we saw a server helping others. Not one eye glance, greeting, nothing ....after 20 min we went to the bar and asked about ordering and were told "we're busier than usual you'll have to wait". No communication or even acknowledging we were there and when we sat down there was 3 empty tables. We left after almost an hour, trying to be patient and wanting to enjoy the night but unfortunately it was a bust. I get busy nights but acknowledging your guests, communicating at some level even if it's an off night would go a long way in customer service. Maybe we will try again... but I don't know. Bummer!

This place is quite amazing! The ambiance is so so cute and it's right on Treasure Island. We got the French Toast to share and the chilaquiles. Wow the chilaquiles were soooo good!! The sauce was great and it came with short rib. This was tender and flavorful. :) The French toast was delicious and came with a cranberry type topping. The mix of flavors, tart and sweet, just blended very well together. And it came with whipped cream. Yum! You have to check this place out for brunch. It was so fun and the coffee is great!

Great food, you should definitely stop in and give it a try! We had the burger, French toast and tri tip. Wonderful atmosphere as well.

Had weekend brunch with some girlfriends here. Made reservations beforehand which I recommend. Really good food and amazing decor. Although Treasure Island is ever-changing and there is alot of construction everywhere, Aracely Cafe is a gem of a place. It is as if you are transported to the Napa wine country without having to leave San Francisco. We sat in their outdoor patio and the weather was perfect. They have umbrellas to block the sun which was really nice. Dishes that we ordered - Small Plates: Burrata, Fried Brussel Sprouts, and the Jumbo Shrimp (all really good and flavorful, I think the burrata which came with a caramelized onion tart was my favorite, but the brussel sprouts with a green onion sauce was a close second) Mains: Egg in a Hole and Yellow Fin Tuna salad - Both good although the egg in a hole dish had what tasted like blue cheese (?) on it, not quite sure but it had a smelly cheese on it which I wish they pointed that out on the menu somehow. It really overpowered the flavors of the dish. The only negative was that my almond milk cappuccino was not very good at all. Hard to describe but it did not have the right consistency and flavor. It was undrinkable. All in all, great place with really good customer service and ambiance. I will be back.

Cool spot on Treasure Island with a pretty big outdoor space. Very cool little cocktail menu (I had the hibiscus margarita, which was great, and I wanted to try way more!). The menu was decently large with a brunch-type menu (I was there around midday on a Friday). Lots of interesting items on there. The Brussels sprouts were tasty, though not super exciting. The chilaquiles were very good (nice guac, house hot sauce, chips, beans, and cotija), but the beef cheek chunks were a bit mushy.

Came to Treasure Island for an event, found this place & having my breakfast here today..Surprisingly, quite good! Will come back again..

Had nothing to do on a weekday afternoon so we decided to go check out Treasure Island. We stumbled upon this cozy cafe trying to hide from the strong bay winds that started to seep bone deep. They make yummy matcha latte. Their staff were so nice and accommodating. Will be coming back to try out their food next time.

Treasure Island certainly wasn't high on my list of destinations for great restaurants and there certainly aren't many options as there is just really Aracely Cafe and Mersea to go to. The views on the outer parts of the island are very scenic and when you drive around the inner part of the area it certainly doesn't appear well developed at all and is run down, but once you walk up to Arcaley Cafe it feels like you're in a completely different world. I was definitely wow'd in every aspect of this restaurant from the ambience outdoors and indoors, to the service, and the food. This place really is a gem and a nice place to even hold events. Whats also great is they don't have menu prices that would make your eyes go wide open and everything is reasonably priced especially for Bay Area standards. We made reservations through their website because we thought it would be busy on a Saturday afternoon, but it was honestly very quiet especially for their indoor seating so reservations weren't necessary. The outdoor seating is also very cozy and aesthetically pleasing as you can see from pictures from other reviewers. Our waiter was also very nice and welcoming and gave us great recommendations on their menu. All the staff were very hospitable there. The menu was very unique compared to most places and there wasn't an overwhelmingly large number of choices like you're at a Cheesecake Factory which made ordering easier as it's just one page for their food items. In terms of small plates we got the Golden Baby Beets for $7 and six Oysters for $3.50 each. We asked for large plate recommendations and were recommended the Breakfast Bowl which was $18 and Chilaquiles for $17 which we ended going with plus the Croissant French Toast for $14 plus bacon added for an extra $5. I was very surprised with how quickly we got our food as well since we ordered quite a lot. I was impressed by their efficiency. Everything was very fresh as well and you can see kitchen staff walking inside with fresh herbs that they cut from their garden outside. The food was easily the best part of the experience. Little Plates: - Golden Baby Beets were really unique and the green onion remoulade and lemon zest complimented the flavors really well. I don't normally like eating beets, but these were very tasty. - Oysters on the half shell had ginger and kimchi which is a combo I never expected to go so well with raw oysters, but they were delicious. Just beware there might still be tiny bits of sand lingering on the oysters and the shell. For $3.50 per piece it was a solid deal. Larger Plates: - Croissant French Toast was SO GOOD. I don't eat croissant french toast often, but Arcaley made them perfectly. Their batter is outstanding and the peaches were so fresh and sweet. The dulce de leche cream cheese was amazing as well. The garrapinadas were also a nice touch as they are peanuts that added a nice crunch to the dish. We also added bacon on the side for an extra $5 and it was worth it because they gave a lot and were very crispy and were not oily either which complimented the french toast's sweetness very well. I believe the fruits they use and other ingredients change sometimes just based on looking at other reviews/photos. The french toast here is a absolute must get. - Breakfast Bowl came with a flawlessly cooked poached egg, jasmine rice, pork belly, spinach, and other numerous ingredients. This might be an overreaction, but this might be one of the best things I've ever eaten. The pork belly is full of flavor and just melts in your mouth. The egg, rice, and all the other ingredients have such a nice flavor that you just have to try. The egg yolk oozing out of the poached egg and mixed with the rice was heavenly. Definitely would highly recommend getting this. - Chilaquiles were also unique as I rarely eat beef cheek, but it was tender and delicious. The only con is you have to eat this dish quickly as soon as you get it as the tortilla chips on the bottom will get soggy, but it was still delicious and also unique. I also got their matcha latte for $5 to go, but it was pretty small. It honestly tasted very watery and I didn't want to finish it. I would not recommend it, but that didn't really affect my experience because everything else was perfect in my eyes. The service here is awesome and everyone working there provided a positive attitude. The restaurant as a whole has an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on a vacation and is very relaxing. The food was affordable and an overall pleasant surprise from the flavor to their generous portions. I'm definitely making a trip to Treasure Island to come here again even if getting in and out of this island is a total pain every time. That 80W on-ramp is scary. Aracely and the beautiful scenery makes it all worth it though.

Outdoor seating on a beautiful day in TI! The food is always excellent here and it's a great place to come for brunch. Service is always prompt and polite.

Food 8/10 Service 9/10 Ambiance 9/10 Drinks 8/10 Wow this is definitely a hidden gem! I ordered the bass dish and it was absolutely delicious. It was a perfect balance of flavors which allowed me to almost finish this large plate in one sitting. Because the flavors all paired nicely I felt like for every bite I was trying to get a little bit of everything on my fork. This place gave me European dining vibes. Not only were we seated outdoors comfortably in a spacey courtyard, but there were heaters to keep us warm throughout the night. I'd highly recommend coming for a date night

Kept walking pass by this place and finally got to try their brunch. They had a good selection of savory and sweet dishes to choose from. Decided to get a little of everything or a lot depending on how you view it. Had the beef empanada, oysters on a half shell, fried brussels, croissant french toast, pork chop, and a side of bacon. Coz what would brunch be without a side of bacon. The pork chop was moist and seasoned well. The croissant french toast with the dulce de leche cream cheese and spiced apples had the right amount of sweetness that it didn't need the additional syrup that came with it. Paired with the saltiness of the bacon, the french toast is just yummm. Everything else unfortunately was just average. They have a full bar and a good wine and beer list. In retrospect, mimosas would've been a better choice. Because mimosas.

Amazing time with family! Great food, service and most of all.. company! My kid wanted to see treasure Island so stopped in for a yummy bite. They especially loved the grilled octopus!

Recommended. Beautiful place, warm and quiet in the morning. Lovely place to sit down a while and grab breakfast, lunch or coffee. Authentic sweet staff. 10 Stars for food tastefulness, service & atmosphere. This is probably my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. Thank you!

We were traveling and picked this place randomly after looking online for dinner options. We were not disappointed. In fact, everything was delicious. EVERYTHING. It had a romantic, calm feeling to it from the candles on the table to the music. The staff were great even though we came in close to closing time. We will definitely be back and are telling everyone to go there!

A Wonderful Secluded Oasis on Treasure Island. With all the work going on in Treasure Island (TI to the locals), loads of building, road construction, and revamp you have to stay focused. And when you are hungry there you go to Arecely Cafe for lunch or an early dinner. An "almost" hidden gem in the middle of the island. With GPS its a snap. Located at 13th and E and set on an easy grid. We called and made reservations. With covid we recommend calling for current hours or getting there before 7PM closing time. Letty was at the bar filling orders when we came in. She was a fountain of activity. When she came over to greet us she was cheerful and we could tell she liked working here. A plus as you know great service follows. We explained we are on a KETO diet, and she was very accommodating to adjust our order of "Ancho Braised  Goat", on creamy polenta, roasted red peppers, fried serrano pepper, cilantro, to substitute roasted broccoli for the polenta (not KETO) . We were very happy. The food arrived and it was a good portion in a bowl. I must say I couldn't easily identify the wonderful layers of flavor in this, but was happy to have it to it's last drop. Easy to recommend, just know it's a little spicy.

Pretty cool spot on treasure island. Call to make reservations. It was a nice place to brunch although the sun was super beaming so don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen lol. While we were there was a baby shower going so I assume they do small events as well as just your normal dine in. Anyway, food was pretty good. I saw lots of people get the Benedict which looked amazing. I went for the tritip sandwich which was really good! We also had their empanadas and burrata appetizer. The burrata was okay I think I would've rather tired one of their other appetizers. Their chilaquiles were bomb! Lastly their spicy Paloma I highly recommend. Most times I don't feel like "spicy" cocktails ever have spice to them but this one did and it also still tasted great.

I took a couple of my friends around SF for the weekend and we were super lucky to discover this place in Treasure Island for brunch! The aesthetic of the restaurant as we entered was very clean and had very comfortable cushioned seats, especially along the wall. I ordered the Chilaquiles and Empanadas which were really delicious and hearty! My friend who ordered the Cardamon Pancakes said it was probably one of the best pancakes that she has tried in her life, which I don't take lightly as she is quite the foodie! Our server was very attentive and provided plenty of insight to the different food options they have which included a Happy Hour and Lunch/Dinner menu which I for sure will be coming back to try. Highly recommend!

Great place to the enjoy a coffee and hangout with some friends on the weekend. There is always sports games from local college and high school. Recommend coming on a sunny day. They have a great open seating with warm inviting environment. Bring your Doggies too!

darling cafe and restaurant tucked away on Treasure Island. Definitely worth a visit on a weekend. Ironically Hillsong church new location is right next door

Definitely a very cute gem in Treasure Island, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try the brunch here. The menu has some unique brunch items and the portions are generous; everything tasted good-okay but nothing exceptional. Dined: July 3, 2022
