A good independent cafe is always a delight to me. And this place is always a must visit when i'm in the area. The place is spacious, high ceiling in the front, and a smaller cozy nook in the back. They have the standard drip, espresso, and latte choices, and of course the lattes give you the option to add a flavor shot. They even have seasonal flavors! (It's late December when I'm writing this, so gingerbread is the choice today.) If coffee isn't your thing, they also offer smoothies and a wide choice or teas. Herbal, non-herbal, chai latte, matcha latte...look, if there's a tea or coffee beverage you can't find here, then you're way more fussy than I am. Of course they have a wide variety of baked goods, and also a small selection of sandwiches and grilled sandwiches. The people behind the counter have always been super friendly and provide great service. To finish up, they have WiFi and two communal tables with easily accessed outlets for customers to sit and work. Highly recommended as a relaxing place to unwind and read a few pages of that book you keep meaning to stare. read more

We were looking for iced lattes and found this place downtown Windsor. Super cute inside. I was glad to see dairy free milk alternatives and a few vegan baked goods. We grabbed iced lattes, ginger molasses cookie (vegan), and banana raspberry muffin (also vegan). Everything was yummy. read more

This little spot was a great find! We were in the area and stopped in for a coffee and snack. The ladies behind the counter were helpful with the menu and friendly. It was a bit crowded, which I took as a good sign! The lattes were excellent! They even put a little chocolate square with them, which I thought was a nice touch. The Blueberry Scone was tasty, it was a different texture than I would expect from a scone though, more dense. The Triple Berry Crumble was fabulous. I also ordered a bag of whole beans to bring home, the coffee is really good. I saw some other people ordering sandwiches and they looked amazing, so I'd like to try it next time I am here. Definitely a fun little coffee shop with a small town local feel. read more

It's by far the best coffee shop in Windsor for many years now. It's a place for people who appreciate real coffee or specialty drinks that are not just loaded with sugar. There's no comparison to me then between this place and Starbucks, or anything like that. read more

The coffee we had, was amazing! Cost is reasonable and the ambience is very chill and relaxing, people were there to simple enjoy their coffee or even study, for our first coffee in Canada, I enjoyed it very much!! read more

The service was great, the people working were super nice and made it easy to order. I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk half sweet and it was really good. You can tell the matcha they use is a higher quality one and half sweet was perfect for me. The only thing is that there was a bit of chalkiness but i just had to mix it a little and it was fine. The inside is very nice and they played jazz music. read more

Nice little coffee shop in Downtown Windsor! Very cozy atmosphere, good coffee and friendly service! They also have great treats!

It's the day before Christmas when most places are closed, it's snowing and freezing cold outside: what's a hungry foodie, who doesn't want to cook and doesn't want to eat fast food, do? Our good fortune brought us downtown where we stumbled upon The Coffee Exchange; parking is free on Sundays, and Downtown Windsor also has free WiFi. The delicious aroma of fresh coffee brewing greeted us at the door; ahhhh, we found a cozy haven. Brick walls, marble counters and table tops, wood flooring, an eclectic collection of wall art and relaxing music playing in the background makes for a wonderful cafe feel. They have an assortment of bagged and loose leaf teas, gourmet coffee beans ground in house, a small assortment of sandwiches and a case full of tempting baked goods made in house. Staff are laid back but helpful and attentive. ORDERED: - Butter Pecan coffee - mild coffee with delicious flavoring. - Roast beef sandwich on toasted cheese bagel with spicy mayo. Roast beef tasted boiled; it was bland. The cheese bagel was perfectly chewy topped with bits of cheese that were crisp YUM! I asked for an extra container of spicy mayo which I happily dipped my sandwich in, it left a nice afterburn. The sandwich came with a tasty little package of pickle slices, olives and crisp carrot sticks that were flavored by the sweet pickle juice. - Morning Glory cookie with Flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, molasses, raisins, coconut and oats. Tastes like a protein bar, not my thing. - Chocolate bundt cake - OH MAN! A slice of heaven: moist, full of chocolate flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. I'm a loyal Starbucks fan (it's katty corner to the place) but I would happily cross the street for the home made offerings and lovely ambiance at this local coffee house. read more

Came here one night on a suggestion from my husband. It was chilly out so a hot drink was just what we needed. Plus they have a large array of delicious looking desserts. We ordered the hot apple cider and hot chocolate. Both came out looking like decadent desserts. The rice crispy squares were tasty but I wish they had more marshmallows (my favorite) It was very busy and cozy inside. Exposed brick walls, bright colorful art and plenty of seating. I'd love to come again and try another dessert or a food item they had on their menu. There's something for every taste here. read more

Great pecan butter tart - my daughter said that the Viennese cappuccino is good, too. The whipped cream really made it.

Great coffee, baked goods & sandwiches. Pleasant atmosphere. Counter service is very efficient.

Been here since I was a kid I would argue that this is the best coffee that has touched my lips. I once saw someone cry after they took a sip because it was so good. read more

The Coffee Exchange is a cute little shop it has hipstery vibes but in the most inviting way. It's a whole experience, I've been there a couple times and enjoy their cappuccino and cafe latte! Their s'mores bar is also delicious, although the chocolate layer in the centre is quite thick. They offer both soy and almond as milk alternatives! read more

I'm always fascinated by the old ceiling fans. They have a great selection of pour overs. I wish they served their espresso drinks in mugs rather than glass cups- but that's my personal preference. I've had baked goods here that weren't so fresh before! It's a good place to work but the tables are small and it can get busy and loud sometimes. Sandwiches could improve. read more

Stop to use restroom - stayed for espresso Loved the color décor - kept my mind busy with the multi colored daisies, Chinese lanterns and abstract-ish art (some of which would look great on the walls at my place in AZ). Yummy espresso - kinda overwhelming menu for first time. I would consider popping by again and enjoying a cup of joe on the patio - although the peeps on the patio (it was cold) would be sneered at by hipsters for other reasons than drinking expensive coffee. read more

Had great service each time I went. The caramel macchiato I get is very good! The prices are very reasonable. You would be paying more at most places (if not all). You have to park on the street (they don't have their own parking) but if you go after 6pm, street parking is free. If you haven't been here yet, you need to check it out and try it! read more

A nice coffee house trying to be trendy, but feels more like a hangout for a dedicated local crowd. Deserts look like quality (commercially made?) food, but I shied away from anything sweet today. A couple in our party tried some of their cakes and liked them. Coffee assortment is limited, albeit more than most places around (a dozen or so bean types). The same can be said for those loose tea assortment (which is always appreciated by myself). In short, a nice hole in the wall local coffee shop, but not a travel destination! read more

Let me tell you, The Coffee Exchange was definitely remarkable. Lovely staff and great ambience all year round. Every thing I have ever purchased here has been fresh and tastes very good. The team is incredibly helpful. I really valued that. The Coffee Exchange I'm telling all my friends to check you out. read more

after seeing a picture of their vegan muffins on @windsoreatswell's instagram, i took a trip here to check it out. the atmosphere was very calming and the exposed brick really gives this place some charm. i got a muffin, a cookie, and a sandwich - all vegan! the sandwich originally has cheese on it but when asked, they substitute it with hummus instead. both the sandwich and the treats were absolutely amazing and the prices are unreal! $5 for a sandwich, $1 to $2 for the muffin/cookie each. absolutely amazing! read more

Ahh the Coffee Exchange ... the number one place in Windsor to go to have expensive coffee while hipsters sneer at you. Located in the heat of Tim Hortons Land the coffee exchange provides an alternative to the normal double-double from Tim's which so many seem to love. The venue itself is fairly comfortable, and most of the staff are polite enough to you. The coffee can be a little pricey if you are one of those in Tim Horton's Nation but at the same time it's still better than Starbucks coffee. The music that they play in the background is decent often. I have been to this place a few times, some of my friends in college spent a great amount of time here hanging out, drinking coffee and stuff. read more

I actually really dig this place. (Shhhhh I'm a Starbucks boy!) It has a really unique vibe and you can enjoy your coffee concoction surrounded by exposed brick, original art, and of course, unique Windsor downtown characters. Though the staff can be a bit precious at times, the coffee is good, the food is usually perfectly fresh and the prices are amazingly low. Don't tell the Seattle folks if you see me there. read more

Coffee was great, was initially impressed but the lady behind the counter was awfully rude. Wanted to order more but she cut us off and went onto the next customers in line. Likely will not be back...going to stick to March 21 instead. read more

Love this place! They have the best caramel apple cider in the winter and the best raspberry lemonade in the summer. read more

Great handcrafted drinks and baked goods. The decor and style of the place is really nice too, and I also love that it's open late. It's a must try if you're in the Windsor-Detroit area. read more

A great place downtown to come and hang out. It's roomy and has lots of space to work. The coffee is average, and for the price, I wish there were free refills. The three stars here are reflective of the coffee itself. It honestly just wasn't that good. read more

I'm visiting from the states. Just here looking for a morning coffee ing hole. This is a really nice place in a great location. Servers are nice and stereotypically polite. Free WiFi rocks. I've had two cappuccinos here and they were consistent. The coffee is over roasted. All of the nutty goodness that should be there has been cooked away. Too bad because they are doing everything else right. read more

Nice little coffee shop in downtown windsor. They have reasonable prices and you can get a stamp card to get free drinks after x amount of drinks (can't remember exactly how many drinks you have to buy before the free one). They serve drinks in glass mugs which is neat and different. Nice spot to study in but if you sit in the back it gets a bit dark as the evening comes in. Friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out. read more

So addicted to this place, only go here if you enjoy REAL good coffee and homemade baked goods. Starbucks, you are dead to me!

This coffee shop has a nice, clean, hipster vibe going for it, which I very much did enjoy. Unfortunately though, the service we received from the middle-aged female server was absolutely disgusting. Right off the start she was unpleasant and uninviting when ordering our beverages. Then we proceed to the patio lounge to relax, and there we find an extra chair at our table so naturally my buddy places a foot up on it. We were stunned 20 minutes later when that same server barges through the door and rudely exclaims, "Take your foot of the chair! You can do that shit at home, but not in public! We just bought these chairs new, not for you to destroy them. And oh yeah, we close at 11." Then proceeds back into the shop. There was never any reason for this, and neither of us understood what had just happened... We still brought our cups and plates back inside before leaving. read more

Coffee is ok, not the best really and it's overpriced. Staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. One of the cashiers was extremely rude to my friend. My friend was just bringing back her cup to the front and asked if it was ok to leave them at the front desk. My friend said " excuse me sweety can I leave these here?" And the freaking cashier said " umm don't call me that" we were both kind of shocked and just left. That lady had a problem. I'm not going there again. read more

Love their products but that morning lady is hands down the rudest customer servive employee I have ever encountered. I make it a point to say thank you. But if she does not say "your welcome" I repeat myself and stand there. You ruin my mornings lady. Not going back. Sorry if you're dealing with a lot in life, or that's just how you are but you are SO off putting. Go behind the counter if you cannot properly interact. Is she a manager? Where the heck is the owner? read more

I actually really dig this place I enjoy the atmosphere and the coffee is really good. Though the morning staff can be sassy above all Christine, she is the most rude person I have met since I live in Windsor , she looks so frustated. It would be great if she learns to smile to customers, it's just another part of her job. Anyway the coffee it's great!! read more

The only decent coffee place on Ouellette (I don't like Starbucks). The coffee is not great. In fact the coffee is subpar. Windsor doesn't really know quality anything unfortunately. They just done as proven by the terrible restaurants they brag about only to go and be served Costco like frozen entrees. Any the Coffee exchange has a very nice atmosphere. Great renos. The people are nice. They don't know much about coffee. I bought coffee there once and asked them to grind it for a mocha pot ... they didn't know what a mocha pot is. The coffee is bitter anyway and I find grocery store Lavazza to be better. Oh well ... at least its a decent spot to visit once and awhile. Free internet that never works well. Deserts are not good. Had cake their once that was like a Walmart bakery taste. Didn't expect that. Again this is Windsor. They like things big and that's it. As long as you give em lots it doesn't matter how it tastes, they just want lots. You will notice in reviews they always bring up portions. Bottom line is if you are downtown Windsor its a decent spot to people watch. Its this or Starbucks. Have to give them credit for running a nice clean business in bar infested downtown Windsor. read more

The Coffee Exchange is a great coffee shop in downtown Windsor. They have a great selection of teas and baked goods. They have free, fast, and consistent wifi.
