Located along the picturesque Main Street of Wolfe Island, Café Tenango is a charming hideaway that invites you to indulge in some of life's simplest pleasures: coffee, ice cream, and heartfelt conversation. The café boasts an inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends warmth and cheer, making it a beloved go-to for both locals and visitors alike.

Step inside, and you're enveloped by the tantalizing aroma of fresh coffee that fills the air. The rich flavor profile of the brews, noted for their low acidity, caters to any coffee enthusiast's palate. Customers like Heidi Csernak rave about the “divine” coffee, made even better with a splash of cream to enhance its velvety texture.

The star attraction at Café Tenango, however, is undoubtedly its homemade ice cream, crafted by the renowned Tracey. Guests have been enamored with flavors like Salted Caramel Toffee and Double Chocolate, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. As Heather Mouradian so eloquently puts it, it's a “cute little cafe” right near the ferry, making it a fantastic pit stop after a scenic ride.

For those warm summer days, the outdoor patio becomes a delightful oasis where patrons can relax under colorful umbrellas, sip on refreshing homemade lemonade, or enjoy their delectable scoops of ice cream. As Rebeca Polo notes, even though the terrace seating is limited, the bright and inviting setup makes it an ideal setting to unwind and take in the vibrant summer atmosphere of Wolfe Island.

The friendly staff at Café Tenango contribute significantly to the café's charm, as highlighted by customers like Natalija Rajic who appreciated the warmth and personal touch of the service. It’s this hospitality combined with high-quality offerings that makes every visit feel special. Whether you're looking for a cozy coffee break or a sweet treat to cool down on a hot day, you’ll find it here in spades.

In a nutshell, Café Tenango isn’t just a place to grab a bite or a drink; it's an experience—a delightful blend of exceptional flavors, warmth, and community spirit. Make sure to stop by when you’re on the island; it might just become your favorite little spot, just like it has for so many others.

Its a cute little cafe right in town near the ferry. I've never actually eaten or had drinks there. They have ice cream as well as drinks, you can sit outside on a patio under an umbrella. People there are extremely friendly

Ice cream quality and flavor was incredible. Portion was perfect, got a single scoop serving and it was more than enough. Service was really friendly and nice

I'm not sure what coffee was being brewed, but the smell was divine. Rich flavour, very low acidity - I made mine with cream, it was good to the last drop... I forgot to take pictures! :O And the ice cream! Made by Tracey's - so yummy! I had the Salted Caramel Toffee and Mike enjoyed the Double Chocolate!! Open on the weekends from May 2-4 weekend, then 7 days a week after highschool lets out for the summer, until back to school.

32 degree weather called for some ice cream with my fiancee. We looked around on the main Street for somewhere to grab some. Easily the best choice we've made. This place was packed with a line but was it ever worth it. Great ice cream and friendly staff.

Such a cute place with great coffee and homemade icecream. I tried the salted toffee flavour - it was delicious! I could not sit in the terrace because it only has three tables, but it was gorgeous and colorful. The coffee was surprisingly good too.

The staff was amazing and super friendly. They offer a homemade lemonade and it was the best lemonade I've ever had outside my house. The place is small but they offer outside seating areas. Definitely check it out.
