Reviews for The Windsor Cafe in Victoria, BC
Visiting for a month I came to love the Windsor Cafe. From cappuccinos , a late afternoon beer or great baked goods and soups... everything I needed was here. Had a feeling of " Cheers" here, after my second trip the owners and staff recognized me and I hadplenty of nice interactions with their loyal patrons. Read more
Quinn and staff are amazing. Just stopped in for a nice glass of wine and were surprised to be served a lovely plate of... appetisers. Very unexpected but VERY much enjoyed. We shall return. Good job, guys ... than you. X X X Read more
The perfect light meal for a hot summer day: a chilled Perrier coupled with an amazing Pear & Goat Cheese Salad. Although the... cafe was busy (and one staffperson away due to an unexpected circumstance), Quinn ably juggled everything and made us feelcompletely welcome and relaxed. My party and I were delighted with the friendly, airy café environment and the always-deliciousofferings. My friend said his Chai Latté was the best he'd ever tasted, and he's a fussy man. Wonderful experience. Read more
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 theearly opening so decided to come in to shelter myself from the wind & drizzling rain. The food was good; came fast sotechnically 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 toabsorb the jazz music and the ambiance. Listening to Unforgettable & Just the Two of Us kinda made me think this would've been agood place to bring my former boyfriend (the person with me in my reviews all these years until recently) but his loss. Anywaythe sun mysterious shone momentarily as I am ready to get ready to watch the parade. I appreciate this place getting me theglass of water and allowing me to have an entire room to relax and enjoy my meal. I'll make sure to bring my performingdaughters here on my next visit. My only suggestion to the cafe is update the social media more as it has outdated informationand perhaps use some furniture felt to balance some of the table feet that has cardboard and folded paper underneath them.????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 yourolfactory 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) Read more

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 livedin Victoria I would absolutely come back regularly. Read more
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 ClubSandwiches, our third one in one week! Well, they win hands down, this was the most delicious Chicken Club Sandwich I've tastedin a long while. Moist, tasty chicken, enough fresh greens and mayo. Can't say the same for the latte or cappuccino, theespresso was not pressed down enough, and foaming was very weak. As for seating, at one point, it seemed like my sandwich wasgoing to be stolen by a visiting dog. That's casual outside seating. Five stars for the Chicken Club, minus one star for theterrible coffee drinks. Read more
Gorgeous Cafe. My daughter and I love it. New to the area and the other day we had as much fun as we've ever had with some... locals, the owners and our lovely server. Read more
