We were hungry and looking for a place for brunch to eat on a Sunday in Anacortes. Overall I was quite disappointed at the quality of food. The service was okay. There was no sign-in for the wait list and it seemed very disorganized. Understandably, they were short-staffed. I ordered strawberry crepes from the special menu and didn't find it very enjoyable for $16. The portion is small and honestly I think I would've gone to iHOPS instead if I wanted crepes. There was just too much cream cheese to crepes ratio and the strawberry sauce leaked into the eggs so it ruined the taste of it. Fortunately they were able to replace my eggs but the eggs tasted really mediocre. I don't think the price and value is worth it for me to come back.

Great breakfast! Excellent service and NO wait. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy, bacon crispy, and the cinnamon roll frenzy toast was soft, fluffy, and delicious. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Drove by the other two popular breakfast places and there were lines. Island cafe is half the price,half the attitude, and half the noise. Better space between tables too!

Missed our ferry so we were pretty depressed driving back to town. We had an inkling to support local businesses so decided we wanted breakfast and happened on this spot. No wait at all and all around solid breakfast, would consider going back again if I ever miss the ferry again. The bloody Mary's hit and back and eggs were fresh off the stove. My friend might have thrown up in the bathroom.

Fast service, nice people, good diner food. Pancakes were huge, bacon crisp, eggs perfectly cooked. Great breakfast spot..Casual and quiet. Typical diner style, just what I was expecting.

While on a recent trip to Whidbey Island, we stopped at both of the Island Cafe locations - this one and the one in Oak Harbor. When on vacation, I love to find a restaurant that serves a high quality good ol' American breakfast - and this place does a pretty good job with that. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, centrally located on a downtown street corner, and has the expected seaside town ambience. We were greeted promptly and seated quickly by an eager, enthusiastic, and clearly newly employed young woman and our more experienced server was friendly and pleasant. After browsing the extensive menu of diner favorites, I opted for a ground chuck steak done medium, along with hash browns, two eggs over easy, and white toast; my companion went with a veggie omelet and a side patty of sausage.The food arrived within ten minutes and was pretty much everything we expected it would be. The portions were generous, the hash browns were tasty, and my eggs were served as requested. The ground chuck steak was likely of the food service variety, but well cooked and I enjoyed it with some A-1 sauce. According to my friend, her omelet and sausage patty (from frozen) were fine, if unremarkable. And the final check for two was something like $40 - more than reasonable for the meal we enjoyed.All in all, breakfast was tasty, filling, and certainly better than a Denny's or a Shari's would have been for the same meal. For a locally owned establishment, I expected the food to be a little more unique or memorable than it was but, for a diner-type breakfast enjoyed while traveling, there's really nothing to complain about at the Island Cafe.

Been passing by for over a decade so decided to finally try breakfast. Ordered the eggs Benedict. First the Hollandaise was pale and I'd guess from a very unloved can. It had little to offer and they would have done better to simply not have this on the menu at all. The ham was excellent, the hash browns and English muffin okay. Service was good and friendly, though when they brought the checkout machine the tip,options STARTED at 20%. I would have probably tipped 25%, but when forced it gives me a bad feeling. The tip is MY choice, not yours. So my choice now was to give the 20% and put them on at least a year probation before trying them again, if ever. I do not like this gesture, even though I feel tip rates should generally be higher. Definitely not the right approach for my sensibilities.

We used to go here all the time but then they closed for awhile & now are back but only for breakfast. Very disappointed. We liked their evening menu a lot . Just can't seem to get there for breakfast. Although their breakfast menu is quite good & we like it whenever we get there.

We stopped in while waiting for some of the stores to open. We were seated right away and the "drink server" took care of our initial wants. However, we had a little wait before we saw our server to order. However, she was friendly and efficient.The food was good. It was served hot and fresh. We loved the location of it. Prices were good for the breakfast menu. We opted to split a plate and it was split for us.Good food and good service. Great find.

Island cafe has been in Anacortes for as long as I can remember. However, it used to be much better. Now it cost you 20+ dollars to get a classic normal breakfast. I know it is a family owned business but they are screwing their servers who are not family out of tips. The cost of food is so high there for average at best quality food, it makes it really tough to want to tip more for the server. I am sad to say but I will not be returning to island cafe until they lower their prices to a more reasonable standard that matches the quality of their food.
