I truly enjoy my every visit to this upscale diner: all day breakfast, sandwiches/wraps, burgers, salads, etc. The staff is kind and welcoming to all. An excellent gathering for friends or date night. read more

I have been here a few times even though it's pretty far from where I live. Going to Windsor Terrace both: - reminds me of very 1st apartment in NYC years ago (around the corner from this place), and; - feels like Im taking a day trip out of NYC (which we all need once in awhile). The coffee and service are pretty good, too! read more

Loove this neighborhood coffee shop! Been here a couple times, the first to pick up a Too Good To Go bag which had such great variety - bagels, pastries, etc. I was so happy with it but haven't been able to catch another time to do it again. I returned today because I was craving a cookie and got the s'mores one ($3.75) with a decaf americano ($4.25). No extra charge for oat milk and everything was so good! Nice outdoor seating & friendly service. read more

Fast service. Ordered a cappuccino and cold brew with milk. We took a sip and woah. What beans does she use?!? We loved the smooth ending. Extremely satisfying and fixed my coffee headache. read more

This is such a cute little coffee shop! I've only been coming here to grab my coffee and go but so far every experience has been pleasant. The baristas are always friendly and helpful. I've only had their cappuccinos and they've never disappointed. I'm on my way to get another one right now haha. Highly recommend if you want a good coffee. They also have outdoor seating and dog treats which was a nice treat for my dog as well haha. read more

I retract my previous reviews! The current barista makes excellent espresso coffees. I prefer the espresso here to what they use at Steeplechase, although everything here is slightly more expensive. But that's balanced out by the lack of card minimum, yay! They also take cash. I stand by what I wrote about $4.25 being a ridiculous price for just espresso; it does not make sense that a cappuccino is only 50c more, either in terms of ingredients or labor. I love the outdoor seating area they added during the pandemic, and they still require masks while you're ordering even though they've reopened indoor seating. Gender neutral restroom in the back. Delicious selection of Colson pastries and some unusual items I haven't thought about in years like animal crackers and cracker jacks. Free snack for your dog :) read more

Just randomly noticed this coffee shop on yelp last night. When did this arrive?!? I was so excited I was there at 8am Sunday morning. (Thanks Daylight savings time.) I felt SO welcome. The barista was kind and offered recommendations. I didn't feel like I was a bother or interrupting something. It was very pleasant. I ordered a latte and a blueberry and lemon scone. (Her favorite) and now mine. It was so delicious and flavorful. Normally I eat scones and I'm like eh. Good. Moving on. This scone- I will need to repeat over and over again. Delicious. Intimate space, but welcoming enough to feel comfortable. I was alone and would have preferred not to take up a table, but unfortunately one lady on a lap top took up all four "bar" seats at the window. (Yikes. Maybe this is what drove Steeplechase to act CraY about laptops lol) It wasn't busy enough to be problematic though- all good for a lazy Sunday morning. Laptop/cell phone plugs scattered around and located in clever and convenient places. I am SO happy this area has another coffee shop. Yippppppee. Welcome, welcome! read more

Windsor Coffee - So cute! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a little hidden gem. Love the interior. Great place to pop in for coffee.

Hmmm. I was very excited to have something in this area other than Steeplechase, which seems a bit pretentious and doesn't take credit cards. I think Windsor Coffee may still be hitting its stride. Perhaps it's my mistake for ordering off menu, although it was just a flat white, nothing bizarre, and the barista said it as no problem. The foam was really airy and there was way too much of it. Definitely more of a cappuccino, so I'm wondering if they'd do a latte better, or if it's one of the places that makes all milk foam drinks the same. I'll try it again, but only so many times. Whatever else one might say about steeplechase, they make drinks with appropriate proportions. Oh, and I think my flat white may have been made with skim milk because t tasted pretty watery. I wasn't asked about milk type, which I generally assume means they're using whole, so I may need to ask next time. The WiFi didn't work. read more

Updating my review like I said I would. I've revisited a couple of times since my last visit and their coffee is consistently good (both hot and iced), their pastries are delicious and a perfect afternoon treat and the service is so friendly and warm. You can tell these people genuinely care about creating a space and community in the neighborhood. It's a perfect cafe for getting work done or reading a book or catching up with a friend work inside voices ;) Definitely a five star cafe with great coffee, excellent customer service and extras lol Agave syrup and simple syrup at no extra cost to the customer. AND they accept credit cards with no minimum! Coffee perfection read more

The best local coffee shop! It's on the smaller side but the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are the friendly and the coffee tastes the best. They also have vegan options, which is so appreciated. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Somehow this place is better now than in 2019 - the barista I run into all the time is friendly, efficient, and know how to make coffee. Not much more to ask for. read more

I love the coffee here! I am very picky about the iced lattes I drink in the summer. I'm so happy I found Windsor Coffee as both baristas make the most amazing lattes. The expresso is perfectly smooth (I find most coffee places the expresso is bitter). There is always the right amount of ice and milk and I'm never disappointed. Both baristas are attentive to my coffee needs eg. extra ice, less milk. As a bonus I usually don't hang out in coffee places but the atmosphere at Windsor Coffee is so perfect I find myself wanting to hangout. I highly recommend this place! P.S. The pastries (from Colson Bakery) are first rate! read more

A wonderful place to work remotely from. Though not as large as other coffee shops in the area it has its own charm and has fantastic service. In general I don't go to coffee shops anymore except except to get out of my house to work/code. Windsor Coffee has some nice comfy seats with pillows to sit at for long hours. Unfortunately since the place is small you're not guaranteed a seat at these nicer spots but may have to suffer the window ones. Once you do plant yourself down in a good spot this place is wonderful though. The food and coffee here are pretty good. I don't think there is a huge variety in the baked goods but what they do have is good stuff. They have both savory and sweet scones which is fantastic enough for me. As for the coffee it is brewed well and they have a good variety of types. I think where Windsor Coffee shines the most is with its service. The people who work here are super nice and are great conversationalists. Last I was here I chatted with the lone employee and we played some music I suggested near closing hours. Overall its a more personal coffee shop in my opinion then others in the area. Overall, fantastic place for both relaxing and working at. Try to snipe the comfy seats if possible for the best experience. read more

Finally, a coffee chop to challenge the neighborhood monopoly held by Steeplechase! Loved the vibe from the moment I walked in. I was greeted warmly by the barista within seconds of walking in. I appreciate that they brew Oslo Coffee-smaller local roaster. It's well priced and tastes great! Their iced coffee is wonderful. They serve a variety of baked good which I have yet to try but look great. Free wifi is almost standard in cafes but they have it as well. They take cash and cards! The best part of my experience was having a short conversation with the owner who is an energetic, warm retired man who is clearly interested in providing customers with a wonderful experience and cool place to hang. Bye bye Steeplechase! read more

Windsor Coffee - Love the ambiance. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The coffee here, for the price, is not that exciting. The espresso is either too burnt, watery, or just disgustingly sour. The way they prepare the coffee is poor. Doing sneaky things to avoid doing work like not offer to brew a fresh pot of coffee and let someone wait but instead downsize someone's large coffee to a small coffee is just irrational to me. The man who works there, who I ASSUME is the owner or the manager, whose to say, is just not very friendly or polite. We all have those days, I understand. But if I feel intimidated just asking simple questions about what's being offered, I'm not sure it's just on my end where the trouble begins. I don't feel as though I can walk in and have a positive interaction, even when trying to be as polite, straightforward, and attentive as I can be. Overall, just don't feel comfortable being here. read more

I enjoy coming to Windsor Coffee! It feels like home away from home. It's a great place to get work done, talk with friends or just drink coffee. It is also kid friendly. Not only is their drinks amazing so are their scones! I prefer to buy bagels here because they are bigger and full me up more. The owner is an amazing person! His staff are very nice and make amazing drinks. Nothing like a barista that knows your order before you even ask! Definitely stop buy! read more

Windsor Coffee is certainly really awesome. The vibe is chill. I really like everything I have ordered there. I certainly liked the service as well, they are really courteous and attentive. Windsor Coffee, If you haven't been here before, you're certainly missing out. read more

Not sure how serving sour tasting coffee is now a thing amongst these little coffee shops with arrogant little blondes working in them pretending like their palate should dictate great coffee when they clearly have no clue what makes a good coffee. She remade another coffee, with her lousy attitude and that went in the trash too. Never again. read more

Great place to grab a cup of high quality coffee and a snack. I'm really happy that they started offering hot oatmeal!! I just wish I could get it in the afternoon too. Awesome music and super friendly staff. [updated] My only complaint: IT IS FREAKING COLD IN HERE!! I came in with my son again today and tried to get comfy so we began taking off our coats. But it was too cold! I think the door is broken or something: it doesn't close One piece of advice: get a sign!! I have been living nearby for over a year and I didn't even know that this coffee house was here!! I can't imagine how many people are missing out. Wow this place rocks!!! The door is fixed!! Nice and cozy.. I'll be coming back here for sure. So, just came back from a vacation abroad with my beloved family. Brrr it's chilly here in Brooklyn we decided to come back to this epic cafe for some hot drinks and to mine and my wife's dismay (the youngin can't tell the difference) the hot chocolate was sub par at best. It tasted like Swiss miss and I asked the barista if it was, and she said it was nesquick. Nesquick is pretty bad, even worse than Swiss miss especially at almost $5 a cup. We really like the consistency of this cafe and the coffee is great but this experience disappointed us. read more

The coffee is delicious and they get great baked goods from other places. It's two stars because the staff is consistently not friendly. I am paying $5 for a cup of coffee, you could say good morning or not correct me when I call the milk the wrong name. When Nadia (the barista I believe everyone is talking about in previous years' reviews) left, I tried this place three times after Nadia left, and all of times I have been disappointed. I will not be returning. read more

Beautiful, inviting, comfortable and chic atmosphere, superb selection and very affordable priced! read more

Just moved to the neighborhood, and we've been to every deli & coffee shop in walking distance from our new place in the last week... ...and I can't tell you how THRILLED I am that this one is the closest one to us! They don't do instagram-able lattes or $9 sandwiches--just incredibly friendly service, solid brews & pastry case basics in a cozy, unpretentious environment. This is really an all-around perfect neighborhood coffee shop. We're looking forward to becoming regulars here :) read more

Oh man I so wanted to like this place! It is so cute, the coffee tastes really good but for a two shot latte didn't taste as strong as it should have? So, my next time in I asked for an extra shot and actually watched them make it. For my "extra" shot the barista ran through the same espresso she had ran for my first "two" shots which could very well just be one shot. I should have said something to the girl (especially since I'm paying an extra $2 or $3 for the pretend extra shot) but if she wasn't trained properly its not her fault and I didn't want to be that coffee snob and ask her to remake it. If you want to have a good coffee shop, the coffee needs to be done right. Especially when there is a place right next door or I could just make american coffee at home. That being said, I will try again eventually when I get over it. They are new and everyone deserves a second chance. read more

Came here for the first time today and will definitely be coming back. This coffee shop is a true hidden gem, and has the best coffee I've had in a long time and for less cost than other coffee shops nearby. The staff were so friendly and it's a really warm and accepting environment. I definitely recommend the iced vanilla latte it's amazing. :) read more

Every neighborhood should have a place like this. Alas, I have to travel a short ways but it's worth it. A nice place to work or read or have a conversation, and also a place to drink (or buy, unground) OSLO, my favorite local coffee (probably my favorite coffee period). I only wish they offered the Golden Tree anniversary blend in addition to the regular roast. read more

Nice spot. Maybe a little expensive but I'm price blind when it come to coffee. Quick, friendly service. Enjoyed the queer centric albums on the wall. read more

So I really like that there's a new option in the neighborhood, however, my boyfriend and I recently stopped by for a shot of espresso each and noticed they charge $4 rather than $2.50 or $2.75. I then noticed that their latte (iced) was $4.50. I've been to many coffee shops around the city and have never seen such a price difference. That being said, I'll definitely stop by for lattes but will think twice before getting a shot of espresso. P.S Love that they serve Oslo Coffee :) read more

Super friendly staff, great cold brew, and delicious pastries. This is my new go-to spot in the neighborhood. Overall, I find the coffee they brew less acidic than what they brew over at Steeplechase, and the vibe is a lot more welcoming. read more

the barista are very pleasant and cooperative people ! the coffee and latte are hot and delicious. and they give you a loyalty card when u purchase the oslo coffee and lattes.the baristas do not have a bad attitude but a charming proper customer service attitude . read more

I don't normally leave reviews on Yelp. But would like to take the opportunity to refute a negative review of this coffee shop that was recently posted. First, it is an amazing neighborhood institution that is welcoming, friendly, and always a home away from home. The coffee and the service are always amazing. Also this recent review said that the barista had an arrogant attitude. Well it was this same barista who is not only a joy to talk to when I see her but she also helped me to jump start my car when I was in need. Windsor Coffee and its staff are always worth the visit. read more

Would be better if they didn't allow people to hold loud phone calls. There's someone using this place to tell a potential employee all about a workshop she's running and she's friggin' annoying. I wish I could dump my coffee over her head to get her to shut the f@ck up. People come to coffee shops to have quiet, not to listening to Jeremy get instructions about some dumbass thing on his computer. I really don't give a crap about your PDF and if you want confidentiality, do it at home..... I wonder if Leslie Johnson at SCO knows that her name is being talked about aloud to everybody at this otherwise quiet and pleasant coffee joint..... read more

We rented an Airbnb on the same street as Windsor and made visiting this coffee shop a morning ritual. Caramel Oat Milk Latte was delicious and the quality was consistent. Id highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Cool, unpretentious vibe with a relaxed atmosphere and most importantly, good coffee. It had a real authentic local Brooklyn vibe. Also had good vegan muffins too. read more

Come here often ! Alexis is sweet and I love the coffee . Cute colors inside and then place is clean . Great place for Morning Joe

A really nice spot for me to kill time before I have my appointment nearby. Charming and chill, quiet, good coffee.

Had the pumpkin cranberry scone with a nice cup of coffee this morning. Still great. Never disappoints. I recommend stopping in.

Windsor coffee is the epitome friendly neighborhood coffee shop. The dog park and this cafe are the only two things that make me happy in the morning headed to work. The staff is super friendly and nice (they always remember your order). Charming interior and a good selection of pastries (vegan options available). Coffee is not too bitter or acidic, this is a true neighborhood gem, and I hope it will stay around for many many years to come. read more
