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!

Attending a private wedding party. Nice quite restaurant tucked in Angel Island away from hustle bustle of SF and Emeryville/Oakland. Food was sumptuous and service on the dot.

The staff was very friendly. The inside benches are so soft that I wanted to pet them! They were also very comfortable. Good Chai tea latte. The halibut sandwich was tasty, but the fish was a little dry. The burger wasn't bad at all, but in my opinion wasn't amazing. The roasted cauliflower was good (especially withthe feta; yum!), but the hummus on it was a little bland for my taste. My husband enjoyed it, though. Good place to go. Relaxing and quiet.

A very cool location on Treasure Island! There is some development going on between the cafe and the freeway and Google Maps isn't updated (April 2023), so following the bulk of the traffic is best straight through the island, not around the edge as Google Maps suggests. The cafe is such a beautiful setup with indoor and outside dining between a high hedge. The service was outstanding and the food quality was exceptionally high. We spent a few hours here in the courtyard and the beautiful spring weather made it all the more memorable. A great cocktail list too! 🍸🧀🍺🐟🍰

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.

Hidden away on beautiful Treasure Island. Comfy seating inside and out, varied menu and decent hours for this tucked away café. Large drinks menu, plenty for vegetarians, dog friendly. Super easy seating during the week, more crowded on weekends when the ferry is running!

The saying completely in the middle of nowhere applies here. Just took the exit to explore the island and found this gem of a place. Awesome coffee would revisit.

Lovely place to sit down a while and grab lunch or a cocktail. The gardens and decor are beautiful. I came on a Saturday afternoon (in winter) and it was not crowded. The service was a little curt and slow, but not detractingly so. If you are looking to book an event space, I included a photo of that area, and also noticed a Playground directly across from the restaurant— good to keep in mind!

Aracely Cafe is a hidden gem! I held a birthday brunch at Aracely that had lots of adults and kids, and the staff was wonderful to work with. They moved us quickly to be seated indoors when the day turned out to be cold and windy, and the food was plentiful and delicious - everyone was impressed and happy! This is such a nice spot. None of my friends had ever heard of it, but several have been back since. (Also, a bonus we didn't know about: there's a playground across the street for toddlers!)

Definitely a good place to have brunch with friends. It is off the beaten path in that it is located on Treasure Island. So if you are there to take some pictures and want to have lunch...this is the place to go to. Good selection of menu. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

We recently had amazing wedding reception for my friend. Everything was perfect from the decor to the delicious food. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was and there were also plenty left ( we did family style) if you are looking for local intimate place, this is it

An oasis in the desert kind of experience. A pair of weary cyclists, descended upon treasure Island without a plan for nutritional intake. A quick search revealed Aracely Cafe, as the only place even open on this long holiday weekend. The charm was immediately evident as we were welcomed by the friendly staff. We hadn't realized the kitchen hours literally just ended, but we were invited to stay and eat anyway! We were even allowed extra time to rest while they closed up shop around us. The menu was a delight for the imagination. So many terrific sounding dishes. I went breakfast (see photo), my companion went burger. A+ all around. You must make a trip to this delightful cafe. Only open breakfast and lunch. They also host events!

The kids didn't think they were going to enjoy our brunch when they couldn't find anything they wanted on the menu. They ended up with the croissant French toast and loved it. All the food was very good and our sever was sweet and helpful.

A hidden gem on Treasure Island, with tasty food, an inviting atmosphere, and very good service. Besides the regular restaurant being great, my cousin had her wedding here and it was gorgeous and included all the needed services and extras for a good price.

3/7/21: My first visit. My friend suggested this place on a sunday morning. The ambiance of this place is really relaxing, they have 1 firepit seating area. Food:I got the avocado toast with sunny side up egg and it was refreshing. My friend got the french toast and he loved it so much. Btw while we are ordering the server mentioned that all of their stuff are homemade(restaurant made) including their hot sauce and the cream cheeseon top of the french toast. It was one the best cream cheese i tried very silky and creamy. Cleanliness: The place is in prestine condition really neat. Service: Though we visited during covid thing, we got our order quick. Their serverd are really nice and friendly. Really great place for bruch. Please if u are reading this hit the like button or let me know what food did u try so next time I will come to visit i will try it too. Thank you. #supportlocal

This place is absolutely perfect. Brunch, dinner, afternoon chill.... Whatever you're looking for, this is it. Some of the best food in SF. Always beautiful, always available. Make the trip. Stop at a wine tasting room on the island after!
