Windsor Cafe

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 My only suggestion to the cafe is update the social media more as it has outdated information and perhaps use some furniture felt to balance some of the table feet that has cardboard and folded paper underneath them.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

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.

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 feel completely welcome and relaxed. My party and I were delighted with the friendly, airy café environment and the always-delicious offerings. My friend said his Chai Latté was the best he'd ever tasted, and he's a fussy man. Wonderful experience.

Cute little local cafe shop in a heritage building with inside and outside tables, seats . Its around the corner from the marina & oak bay beach hotel and beaches .

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.

Cute little place with excellent patio seating. Small menu, okay coffee, fully licensed. Realllllly nice staff with great service, like a water glass brought to your table. Chill views of the weeping willow at Windsor park.

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.

Fantastic service! Beautiful location with patio seating in front and back of the cafe. Our lunches were delicious, flavour was spot on. Our only constructive criticism would be the side cabbage salad. We weren't loving the flavour and it didn't go especially well with the chicken, bacon & avocado baguette. A seasonal leafy green salad would have made the meal perfect! Fresh fruit tarts were a delightful way to end the meal. We definitely will be back!

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 had plenty of nice interactions with their loyal patrons.

Staff very friendly and great food, and right across of the Oak Bay Marina and Winddor Park. A great place to stop and grab a drink and a snack to enjoy. Lovely place
