☀️ Discover Islands Café in Ocean Park — A Taste of Hawaiian Sunshine in South Surrey

If you’re wandering through Ocean Park, there’s a new spot that locals and visitors alike are buzzing about — Islands Café, a bright and welcoming café inspired by Hawaiian surf culture and crafted with community spirit at its heart.

🌴 A Local Gem With Island Soul

Owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Robb and Jalene Harding, Islands Café has quickly become a favourite in the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The Ocean Park location — affectionately named Pali (which means “bluff” in Hawaiian) — holds deep personal meaning for the founders, as it sits just blocks from where they both grew up. Opening this café marked a joyful return to their roots and a chance to give back to the community that shaped them.

The design reflects that balance of modern and relaxed: sun-filled interiors, cozy seating, pops of tropical artwork, and an overall vibe that instantly makes you feel at ease — whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee or lingering over brunch.
