I arrived at Windsor Park a bit too early for the Oak Bay Tea Party parade (my children are performing in the Spectrum marching band) and this place opened up early for this occasion. I was greeted by a gentleman (presuming Jay) who kindly explained the early opening so decided to come in to shelter myself from the wind & drizzling rain.The food was good; came fast so technically one can quickly eat and go if they're on a time pinch. That is usually me but today I decide to take it slow to absorb the jazz music and the ambiance. Listening to Unforgettable & Just the Two of Us kinda made me think this would've been a good place to bring my former boyfriend (the person with me in my reviews all these years until recently) but his loss.Anyway the sun mysterious shone momentarily as I am ready to get ready to watch the parade. I appreciate this place getting me the glass of water and allowing me to have an entire room to relax and enjoy my meal. I'll make sure to bring my performing daughters here on my next visit. My only suggestion to the cafe is update the social media more as it has outdated information and perhaps use some furniture felt to balance some of the table feet that has cardboard and folded paper underneath them. ?Also to the one person who left the awful review saying Cheese Whiz was used for the ingredient, you need to get your olfactory bulb and eyes checked. It is beyond obvious cheddar cheese ? the ingredient used in the menu. Just look at my wrap; it's obvious standard, medium sharpness flavor.(For those who need nitty-gritty details, food is 4.5, hospitality/service 5, ambiance 5, decor 4.5; overall score is rounded to 5 stars)
I went there for my first time today , I got the breakfast wrap .It seemed very basic to me for the amount I paid for it .They used hot dogs for the sausage, the bacon wasn’t cooked properlyThe cheese was cheese wiz .$13.50 was what I paid for it .
Imagine living every day like you’re on a quaint British seaside holiday… that’s Windsor Cafe.The building exterior has Tudor-style design & the atmosphere is perfect for reading a good book or sitting down with friends… jazzy music, a fireplace, an interesting menu with a hearty soup that changes daily, large windows. Perfect if you’re visiting Willows Beach. If I lived in Victoria I would absolutely come back regularly.
Came for lunch. Love the atmosphere (restored house) with many cozy rooms. Had the wrap and mushroom bruschetta - both were amazing! Highly recommended.
The third photo in Google maps looked like pork belly on mashed potatoes. Silly me – going there thinking that I could get the same dish. Nope. They had to scale down the cooking and serve more simple food after the pandemic. So, we ordered Chicken Club Sandwiches, our third one in one week! Well, they win hands down, this was the most delicious Chicken Club Sandwich I've tasted in a long while. Moist, tasty chicken, enough fresh greens and mayo. Can't say the same for the latte or cappuccino, the espresso was not pressed down enough, and foaming was very weak. As for seating, at one point, it seemed like my sandwich was going to be stolen by a visiting dog. That's casual outside seating. Five stars for the Chicken Club, minus one star for the terrible coffee drinks.
Wonderful baking and some savories. Nice to sit outside on a beautiful day. Great coffee.
A cozy local cafe run by husband and wife team and wonderful employees. Great food and nice read courtyard for quiet coffee and chat.
This is a wonderful cafe right across from Windsor park and near Oak Bay beaches. You can just grab a coffee or even better try the delicious items on their every changing but excellent menu. The Windsor cafe is so friendly and an absolutely delightful place to meet friends and hang out with locals. Love it!!!!!!
Gracious, generous, quick service and delicious chicken salad. They accomodated my need for an outlet for my laptop most graciously and food came very quickly. Also had a nice fresh air ambiance.
Great food, I had a chicken club that was nice and tender.People were very friendly , and the staff were greeting people by their 1st names.
