ISLAND CAFE

Absolutely lovely. Super welcoming service, which isn't common for a niqabi!Although it was cold, we chose to sit outside as it was a nice day otherwise - a server, Carlos, immediately came over and offered us the Turkish Breakfast when my husband enquired about anything being halal - and it's our new favourite breakfast.I didn't take any photos, unfortunately, but the plate looked like a gourmet meal! Slices of, and I can not emphasise this enough, EXPERTLY flavoured meat, soft cheese, scrambled eggs, halloumi, black olives, and some tomato and cucumber slices. Gorgeous! And for drinks, my husband chose a hot chocolate while I asked the server about their tea, and tried it on her recommendation, which was a good one (reminder to self to get the notes so I can put her name here!).Also, the owner greeted us on his way out, giving his salaam to us - all staff are wonderful.We will be stopping by again next time we're in Canvey... or maybe we'll make the nearly 2 hour journey just for this cafe!

I allways have the chefs special you can't knock the quality or the quantity of the food it's well presented well cooked and value for money

Great portions and nice food, good service. Lovely place for breakfast/lunch

Me and my friends were visiting canvey and decided to pop in. amazing atmosphere, friendly service and great food. Shame we cant give it any more stars as it deserves them. Used it for breakfast each morning we stayed

Food was hot and well cooked, staff were very helpful and had a smile on their faces. Second time eating here and will definitely be coming back.

Went in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Food came out quickly and hot. Delicious. Friendly staff, good range of items. Definitely recommend

Only problem with this place is it’s always packed, which tells you how popular this cafe is. Easy 5 stars
