Anna’s Island Cafe

Little hole in the walll place with just a few tables. The watress was nice. The owner was walking around talking to everyone. Excellent food. Had the mushroom swiss burger and fries. That and iced, total with tip was $ 13. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Now that Shenanigan’s has finally, completely died a long, gruesome, protracted death, Anna’s is the only place left on Swan Island to getcha drink on. Not surprisingly, as a result, the lounge side of this establishment is invariably far busier than the café side. The lounge has a tiny, seedy enclave for video lottery. Shift workers from UPS, Freightliner, et al from there on the island can frequently be seen there, sharing a cold one or two after work is over (hopefully it’s afterward!)
For a tiny, industrial park café, Anna’s has a rather large and ambitious menu. The first good thing to know: they serve breakfast all day, 6a-​9p. The Second good thing to know: plenty of variety! They have about ten different omelets (not counting build-​your-​own), 20 different sandwiches/​paninis, and about a dozen different burgers to choose from. They frequently offer specials like bbq ribs, which didn’t fail to grab my attention! They also maintain a Greek theme for this place, and in addition to offering a robust Greek platter, Greco-​omelets and Greco-​salads, they have Lamb, Chicken and veggie gyros. They even have Greek spaghetti, which I haven’t yet tried, but vow to, some day soon… I’m totally intrigued by the idea. Finally, the third good thing to know is: Anna delivers for free, even on weekends, for orders of at least $ 50! Anna’s also caters, and their #1 client hands down is Freightliner.
I found Anna to be highly engaging and interested in her customers. She says she had a diner out in St Helen’s for many years, but sold it about 12 years ago to raise her kids. Now that they’re all in college, she couldn’t resist the call to return to the biz, and has been doin’ the dang thang out on Swan Island for 2 and a half years now. Get ‘er done, olé girl!

Food was pretty good and about what I expected, and the price was right where I wanted to to be given a lunch at a café in a low traffic area. Some greek stuff on the menu that I have heard good things a out but haven’t tried myself. The service was about what I would have expected as well, nothing out of the norm for a little lunch café but worth trying out of you are in the area.

Anna has home cooked style food. Plus they also have an amazing range of food as well. It’s a good place for lunch.

Good Gyro’s, great fires and fantastic service.

Finally, a place to get yummy food on Swan Island!
If you aren’t familiar with the island (which is actually a peninsula), it’s what they call an industrial park. Pacific Union, Freight Liner, UPS and Fed EX are just a few of the names that occupy the area; along with a Subway and a McDonald’s. yay. More like, lame. But not anymore…
Now we have Anna’s! $ 5.50 for a gyro basket! Homemade soups! A cappuccino machine! Breakfast! Panini and salads! Burgers and fries! and so much more.
If you work down here or close, don’t pass it up! Anna’s rocks!
