First time going since they opened in the new location. As delicious as ever, and wonderful people. The new location is neat, and parking nearby is cheap. Highly recommend.

I wish there was a higher rating available than just 5 stars! Willie’s is hands-down the best/my favourite caterer in town! Beyond the authentic, welcoming family-feel that Ian and team bring to Willie’s, the food quality and attention to detail in every aspect is second-to-none. Only the best ingredients; no processed products, no preservatives. Local/Canadian sourced products, bio-degradable cutlery, containers, etc. Willie’s puts care and genuine quality into everything they do! I have been using them as a corporate caterer for 20+ years now and they never disappoint! They offer cold & hot options, always with a unique Willie’s flair… delicious! The turkey-cranberry sandwich is a cult-classic and personal fave of mine! Oh!! And definitely try the warm spinach salad… sooo yummy! Can’t really go wrong at Willie’s!

We got rotten leaves in the salad which comes with the black bean burrito. And the black beans in the burrito are refried. I wouldn't want to pay $11 again for this. The food is not worth the price. I give one star for the sweet potato soup and one star for the helpful staffs. If I want a better burrito I would go to the Latino Market down the street. They offer authentic Colombian burritos with three times the size but half the price.

Is there anything on the menu that's bad?! Sad to see this place is closing effective October 30, 2016. It will be missed.

Jamie Millard

Very tasty

Alastair Hood

Cool location in a downtown food incubator warehouse. The turkey cranberry wrap might be the best wrap I’ve ever had! Highly recommended!

Nick Hall

Always fresh and delicious. My go-to spot for a healthy lunch option. Try the jerk chicken burrito.

Jamie Neely

Great friendly staff and great food at a great price have made Willie's a great place to go for over 15 years and an easy place to recommend too!

Samantha Brennan

Best lunch spot in London. Love it!

Andrea Callon

Great place all around whether for awesome lunch (Jerk chicken burrito is my favourite) or the once a month dinner, great staff, a special place for anyone who appreciates delicious food and efficient service

Roberto Sucuqui (Roberto Carlos Fitness)

Delicious array of food for whatever you're feeling. Their daily soups are always a great addition to your meal. And you can finish it off with one of their many tasty desserts. They recently introduced their frozen foods, with the Shepherds Pie being my personal favourite. The customer service is one of the best when it comes restaurants in London. All in all, a great place for lunch or catering!

Syd Salmon

The heart and soul that Ian and the team put into the food is amazing. I've had the great pleasure to eat their food at many events and I have never been disappointed. They bring a level of artistry and passion to their food. If you're stuck trying to make a quick decision at lunch. My two favourites are the Willie’s California Chicken Sandwich and Cranberry Turkey Wrap.

Great Quiche and grilled cheese sandwiches. Nice salads. Friendly local caterers who love what they do.

I was meaning to stop by Willie's Cafe for months on end, but just recently had the pleasure of visiting for the very first time with some friends who raved about it for months. Needless to say, Willie's Cafe exceeded my expectations. When you first enter Willie's, it feels much like a cafeteria. You must line up and place your order before proceeding to your table. With that being said, it's far from cafeteria food. The menu is diverse and well executed. I ordered a turkey club with a side caesar salad and was blown away by how flavourful both were. The outdoor patio is also an ideal spot to grab a nice lunch with some friends or family. While Willie's Cafe is a little pricey, it's one of the better lunch options in downtown London and I look forward to my return visit.

Ian and his team are one of the best caterers in London. I have known Ian for many years, and his quality, service and professionalism are top notch. When I order a catered lunch from Willie's, I know that it's going to be fresh and delicious. I also like the fact that Willie's uses biodegradable plates & straws, and they reuse all of their trays & platters. When Ian was transitioning from his restaurant to the cafe, I had a really hard time finding a comparable caterer, and that's because no one compares to Willie's. Thank you to Ian and the team - you guys are awesome!

Simply the best sandwiches I have ever had. Great place. Good atmosphere and great food. The Jerk Vegetarian sandwich is my fave sandwich in the world.

Nathalie Torres

great place for a healthy bite that is also delicious, too bad it is now permanently closed.

Kyrsta Hesketh

I have been having Willies cater for me for years and they never cease to disappoint! The food is fresh and absolutely amazing (especially the Willies Club) and the people are by far the nicest around. Their new location is super cute too. Love it!!

Susan Scollie

If you don't already have a favorite Willie's sandwich, you need to go figure that out as soon as possible. It is a place that turns you into a loyal fan. Mine is Cranberry Turkey Wrap, close 2nd is Egg Salad Supreme.

Jay McKillop

Fabulous spot. Excellent food, superb service and great atmosphere. Has always been one of my favourite restaurants.

Willie’s Cafe is a cornerstone in the London catering business but this was my first visit to their new Old East Village location. I ordered the cup of soup and sandwich deal. The corn and potato chowder was so delicious and flavourful. Ask them for their curry mayo on your sandwich... so good! As for the new digs, I loved the space inside the London Food Incubator. There were lots of tables and beautiful wood floors. Go check them out for lunch (Monday to Friday)!

Adam Chapman

One of my favourite spots to grab a sandwich. It is a little pricey, and totally worth it. I highly recommend the Southwest Grilled Cheese with Bacon. Try as I might, I can't replicate it and have to keep coming back for it's deliciousness.

Jim Cressman

I was not there. These notifications are annoying.

What a great little cafe hidden in the Old East Village. Prices are a little expensive but the food was fantastic. There were all kind of options and believe it or not when I asked for gluten free options the employee said that they can make anything gluten free. The staff were pleasant to speak with and only provided an amazing experience. #localguides

Jens Moltner

The food is always great. Recently tried their freezer dinners, chicken pot pie, and mac and cheese. They were also very good.

Noah Cook

If you are in the neighbourhood and want a delicious lunch, stop by and see the Willies team work their magic.

I wouldn't go anywhere else in London for fresh, healthy choices and amazing service. Willie's cafe is our family's favourite. Delicious!

Barbara

Excellent service and Food!...A must to try...Thank you Cindy and Ian!

Monica Maggs

What a disappointing experience. A friend wanted to introduce me to this café for lunch yesterday, but the service was so poor and unwelcoming we left without eating. We arrived at the counter 3 minutes before the official opening time, so we were directed to grab our drinks and sit at the table until the waitress could take our order. She showed up 5 minutes after opening, but took another 5 minutes getting ready to start work. The owner was aware that we were waiting but they both ignored us. A woman came to the counter and was served before us. We patiently waited. Then another customer again served while we waited to even be acknowledged. After 20 minutes at a table, 2 customers served ahead of us, and we've finished our beverages; we finally decided to just pay for the drinks and go somewhere that would serve us food. The menu looked lovely, but I don't think I would ever go back after the rude service and being totally ignored

Mary Evans

Fantastic lunch spot. Every time I visit London, it's the go-to place. Food is yummy and the service is great. Wonderful to see all ages there enjoying good food together. Reservations recommended.
