Au Bout de L'Isle feels like a warm, cozy local spot with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. The menu covers breakfast, brunch and light meals, plus a solid ice cream and gelato selection, all at reasonable prices and with a charming decor that many find cute. Guests appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the views from the window or balcony, and the chance to enjoy a leisurely morning or a canal stroll. It suits families and cyclists, and is often described as worth visiting and a reliable favorite for regulars. Some reviews note slow service during busy times, small portions, and a few facility issues such as the restroom and air circulation, suggesting the place is still finding its focus. Overall the experience is positive, with good coffee, hearty breakfasts, and a homey, comfortable setting that invites return.

Un immense coup de coeur pour Au Bout de l'Île. Le service est exceptionnel & la bonté du propriétaire, Oscar, m'a profondément touchée. Il est tellement aimable & attentionné. On se sent accueilli comme chez soi. Merci Oscar pour cette belle expérience. Je recommande ce restaurant à 100 % !
After a long cycling, I wanted to have a latte in this small cute city. The Google maps recommended me this place & I give it a try. The place looks cozy & unique with the old style house. There are do many of ice cream & gelato selection inside. There's also a breakfast & lunch selection for those that want to have a meal in the morning & afternoon. The Latte taste good, although a little bit watery, but their ice cream was good (forgot to take a picture). The outside balcony is also nice for those that ride a bike to here & alone, & also want to keep an eye for your bike for those that don't bring any bike locks.
My favorite "go to" place for breakfast located in St Anne's. Our waitress Caroline was friendly & very helpful with her recommendations on what to eat. We happened to be there when the power went out & the staff were courteous & professional with handling the situation. Their breakfast potatoes are the best! I highly recommend this gem in St Anne's!
