great Breakfast

Great service and friendly staff! Perfect for a quick lunch or coffee meeting!

Big Ideas For Little Minds !!

George Vamos

The service and food are always quite decent here. It's a great location for meeting for work or personal. The tables are nicely spaced, not feeling crowded when at capacity.

Sylvester Ranjith

Mike Day

Very great place to go and have coffee or tea or a bite to eat and check ur WiFi out

Been going here for years. Great service and a great place to hangout.

Matthew Ford

Clean, bright, good seating. On the expensive side though!

Dita Roushdy

Great place all year round. There is a winter skating rink right next to it and in the summer it's a roller skating rink with rentals and music and even a Zamboni in the winter. Great place for a romantic date on a nice summer evening with a beautiful sunset overlooking the marina. What a sight!

Athena van Nacht

Good, but my god does the clientele skew to the extremely old and white

Ilguiz Latypov

Thanks for great food.

Michael Kamal

It used to be a good place to go work but recently the food has gone downhill. This is the perfect example. This is supposed to be a side salad. It actually looks bigger in the picture...

Jessica Ivany

Never been to Williams before. Great service! Everyone was very friendly. I sat down at my table and my food was pretty much brought out right away. I was very impressed. Food tasted absolutely amazing! My new favourite place for sure. Highly recommended!

Shady Roufail

Zara Hasan

The "Fresh" part in the name is lie. The larger Williams locations cook their food but meals here are precooked and then microwaved when served. Food tastes so much worse at this location versus the other cafes in town! Only plus about this one is that it has a couple outlets

Cam Toth

Great service and coffee

Brian Hinds

Awesome chocolate tea

Naman Sood

Meghan

Good prices, lots of options, great service. Clean! Parking everywhere.

Margot Macdonald

Up market coffee house. Nice decor, but not impressed with some menu choices. Muffin with latte chai tea nearly $10. Tea was very watery not much flavour. For a nearly $5 blueberry muffin, not offered butter, a knife to cut it nor a jam or conserve.

Went to Williams at 1250 Brant street in the Burlington Power Center this is the second time we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for the coffee. The first time it took 20 minutes for a regular coffee and last night it took over half an hour for a small hot chocolate for a child. NEVER have I ever experienced worse customer service from a place that certainly overcharges for their product. I found it funny the staff had time to chat with each other and serve other people coffee's and ice water but were unable to make a child's hot chocolate within half an hour. Disgusting. They had the most ignorant workers. Never will I give my business to them ever again. There is a Tim Horton's down the street from them I suggest you go there if you want decent prices and wait times.

Jane Imnotprovidingtherest

Free parking, easy enough to find and get to. The coffee, desserts and food are nice, but pricey. Very similar to Starbucks, but I find Williams has better coffee if you want a plain cup. It isn't as bitter. On the downside, it closes really early (this particular location - I've been to others that were open until 11pm-2am, depending on city), but you aren't asked to leave. They just start cleaning around you and taping bits of green rape to the tables that are being used (to clean them after you leave, I'm assuming). Overall, nice place for coffee and chatting, not great for a full meal.

Ashok Venkatraman

Pricey Has an amazing strawberry milkshake and a few pastry options.

Harsh Bajwa

My first choice in Guelph for Breakfast. Service is good and fast. Don’t forget to try their cheese cakes.

Margaret Lynn France

Been there 4 times. Great all around every time.

x H

My go-to for coffee and studying. Sometimes hard to get a seat, some menu items are better than others. Needs more outlets.

Arpan Jolly

This is the only Williams cafe I have been to and I have to admit, it's because of the location. It's situated right at the waterfront so you can take a nice stroll before or after you visit the cafe. They have good patio seating in the summer right by the skating rink. The food and beverages menu is good however the service could be better.

Russell Wright

Excellent food, service and atmosphere now that it's been under new management!!!!

Ethan Evans

shivani sood

Always fresh stuff

Naveed Khan

We ordered on Skip in the morning and everything was simply amazing.. great quantity and superb quality. Very generous portions. Will be ordering again soon for sure.

Patrick

Great atmosphere, plenty of seating. Awesome for meeting a group of friends. The food is good too.

George Vermeulen

I watched as four employees each shrugged off responsibility for an order for a single hot chocolate, which took almost ten minutes to finally make it to me. There was no lineup, just a lacklustre and an entirely disinterested staff.

Janine Thoma

reza ullah

Good place but need more power outlet

Karan Malhotra

The Bagel was made of rubber and they gave cream cheese on the side, instead of spreading it on the bagel

JOHN BATT

Excellent food and ambiance

Brett Vandermey

Convenient location but extremely dated and well worn facility, could certainly use an update on the inside. Seems like a popular location for university students. Coffee tasted ok.

Alex Bailey

Nice Place, I had herbal tea and had a good conversation with a friend. Friendly staff

Tepid coffee. Cold tea. Rock hard cookie.

It's a nice cafe for a hang out. I like the atmosphere. Try out their pastries/ cakes they are really good

Butter chicken was exceptional and so was the soup. Cherry cheesecake is a must. The place is huge and just loved the ambience. The owner is also a nice person. The food portion could have been a little better for the price. Nevertheless, a good place!

Rob Murray

Had the bfast wrap, it was good and the coffee was great. The only thing was that the wrap was pre-made and was heated up enough.

Roohie Singh

Great place for coffee or food , the service is great and the staff are very friendly. I’ve been going to this Williams for 4 years now , it’s actually where I met my significant other 4 years ago :) We both still love this place

Nicole Keeler

Rob C

Ordered two coffees and a muffin, staff at front counter seemed confused and had trouble getting the order. Had to get us to repeat the order once it had gone through, almost forgot to give us change, and did forget to give us our muffin (ran off to see someone they knew and left another employee to give us the muffin). I have been to Williams many times and generally have a great experience, but some of the presumably new staff need better training.

Jeff Catania

Kamil

Clean seating and friendly staff, but all of the available sweets and cakes were still frozen at 7pm. The staff apologized for the lack of selection and the fact that they were just pulled from the freezer, but at 7pm? It's not like we came at an odd hour

Aamna Siddiqui

Helpful and efficient staff. The place was clean and the portion sizes were large, though it was a bit on the pricey side. Definitely appreciated the free wifi!

Kathy Lee

Martin Janes

We stopped in on Saturday September 29,And ordered two slices of cake a cappuccino and vanilla Frapp, the place was pretty quiet. Are drinks were taking forever so I walked up to see if there was a problem. As I was standing there I noticed that the frothing cups weren’t being rinsed and looked like they were sitting for a while. The young man then proceeded to make my cappuccino using the dirty frothing cup which I called him on but he continued on. I told him to keep it. The other drink was made and it wasn’t even a vanilla frappe. To spend $30.00 on two slices of cake and 2 beverages I would think they would use clean supplies and know how to make proper beverages. Wouldn’t be returning. Buyer beware!

mcdonalds has bettee coffee, plus they left me waiting 15 minutes for a bagel before I left ????????

Stephanie T.

Wonderful, nicely decorated coffee shop with friendly staff and a great selections of foods and beverages. The staff is friendly there. There is free Wi-FI there too. Please note that outside foods and beverages are not allowed inside their coffee shop as seen on the sign posted on the door. A popular hangout for university students and people of various ages, too!

Nick J McLeod

Williams is a staple coffee and quick eats place in KW.

Jon Fry

Great place

Jeremy Tyers

The bathrooms in this establishment are disgusting. If the staff have to use these facilities then you have to question the hygiene in the kitchen. Use the facilities only if you're desperate. I'm amazed that the city hasn't given them a failing grade. The food is OK but expensive.

Alexandra Anis

Maude Stephany

A busy place to meet friends and business people. I often use this place to meet my clients.

melissa todd

Great staff very friendly+ also smiling great coffee+ food to go along with the amazing service.

Afzal Kh

Excellent value for money as their medium hot drinks are more than enough and tastes good.

Travis Kelly

Great food. Bad wifi. Definitely recommend the chicken samdwich with tomato soup. So creamy! They also jave a station to plug in your laptop.

Sunny Birdie

It's okay. There isn't really anything special about Williams, they don't have exceptional food or the best atmosphere, but it's certainly not the worst. The staff are usually friendly when or if you interact with them ( as it's not table service ) I just feel everything about Williams is pretty generic, it's somewhere I would think of to bring my grandmother for an afternoon coffee, but not think to go there for anything else.

Naomi Jones

David Celis

Not welcoming (maybe it was because it was early morning). I ordered a Classic Breakfast with sausage. The order came out with bacon. When I asked it to be changed, they said that they never serve sausage and only have bacon; basically, they could not do anything about it. Not the best way to treat clients

Brad McRae

Cameron Stevens

Always fresh coffee, and great food. This place is my escape and the staff are always welcoming. Whether skating on the rink (winter) or touring downtown Kitchener in the summer, this is a kid-friendly, but reasonably quiet place to meet with friends or squirrel-away on your own in a corner. With a nice mix of traditional and well presented meals at reasonable prices, it's a safe bet in Downtown Kitchener.

Sebastian Gladman

Nice place for eating. All Canadian. The young lady who served us was exceptional. She even custom made us the old 'day/night's waffle.

Nathan Drescher

Good coffee and good food. Very slow service, especially at the cash where it seems disorganized and staff don't help each other out, thus leaving customers standing in line. Also the WiFi doesn't work. Try logging in and just keeps going around in circles with no reason. I've tried on my Nexus 5, my laptop and my wife's iPhone but we've never been able to log on. This is one of the reasons we visit a different cafe with working WiFi.

Love the chicken pesto panini sandwich. I'm a sucker for it everytime!

Williams at City Hall is a great location to meet up with friends or colleagues in downtown Kitchener. It is usually quite busy and can get loud but the tables near the back (toward city hall) offer some quiet for solo work. Outlets are around the middle column and the community table, where there are good views of City Hall plaza. Food and drink are good, same as others within the chain. Breakfast is only served until 11 but well worth it. Staff are generally quite friendly and efficient

Rachel Dodman

The woman working this morning was so kind and helpful! My baby was at McMaster hospital, we are from out of town and she gave me directions (to where I might find an open bathroom- stupid Covid) while I waited for baby and husband. She made my breakfast and probably didn’t know she was making me feel calm and less anxious.

Terrible service! After waiting for almost 25 minutes for a standard salad (which I was over-charged for), I had the temerity to approach the service kitchen counter to ask about my order. I was told to "SIT DOWN, NOT TO MAKE A SCENE" and they would bring the salad to my table. At this point my companion had finished their lunch. Another 10 minutes later and my salad was practically thrown down on the table in front of me with the owner/manager stalking off in a tiff! Horrible since management and menu change! Food is nothing worth going there for!

French mocha latté or whatever my ex girlfriend got me to try was better than any Tim Horton's French vanilla. The Brownies also blew my socks off. Williams isn't for everyone, if you're for example a person who hates the world and good tasting treats. ;)

Liam Doherty

Ordered specialty coffees. The festive peppermint latte left a chemical aftertaste. The butterscotch mocha just tasted like syrup. Staff were nice and efficient though.

I ordered a chicken Cesar wrap from here and an iced Chai tea latte! It tasted delicious ! The staff were kind and attentive as soon as we walked inside! They have a great variety of pastries as well ! Cute patio set up with nice umbrellas ! Would definitely visit again !

Lindsey Simeonidis

My friend and I were sitting in the cafe and the manager was very rude to us and told us we can't be sitting in a booth with our laptops to do work, even though we had both purchased a 5$ latte, and we were just quietly talking and doing work. Not sure why just because we had laptops we were being told to leave... I was planning on buying lunch too. Its ridiculous to not allow students to eat and work in a cafe that's literally across the street from a University, we provide the store with business we purchase food and drinks, I don't know why should we be spoken to rudely by the manager just because we had laptops.

Andre Wunjo

Friendly staff! Only next time I'll have the spinach and feta pastry heated up. That will knock it out of the park!

Service great, staff friendly, food INEDIBLY DISGUSTING. I had to actually ask for my money back, which as a British-Canadian I absolutely NEVER do because I’m too polite. But when your mac and cheese is sitting in a literal puddle of oil, revulsion takes over. Fortunately the staff refunded my money without question!

Joey Chittick

Always a positive experience. Great selection of food and beverages, a common place for people to study.

As a Guelph student, it became a tradition for me to visit this lovely cafe weekly. I usually went on Sundays around 9 am and routinely ordered the same meal: The Greens/Avocado/Quinoa bowl with Grilled Salmon added and the Mint/Chocolate Latte. If I could give these meals 6/5 stars, I definitely would! I have also tried their Breakfast bagels but always go back the bowl. It is very nutritious and tastes delicious, especially with the dressing. The prices are not cheap, but it is worth going once in a while. Their Wi-Fi is also adequate!

Jerry Bilous

A quiet, cozy cafe that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. You order and pay before sitting down and the friendly staff will bring it to you when its ready. Lots of booth seating, some tables... Lots of parking. Good food, great prices. …

Nice cafe, not cozy or particularly friendly staff, ok food, great coffee. Good place to study or have breakfast food. Not super cheap for what you get. Staff does the job but not particularly pleasant. Breakfast deals good, otherwise pricey for students. Coffee at Williams is best on or near campus.

Lisa Burns

Food and coffee really good! Line ups can be a little slow when it gets busy sometimes. Service has been quite friendly though. Place is kept very clean! I've always enjoyed going here.

Cristina T

Unhappy with the service, had to go back three times to get a simple black cup of coffee and was met with some v rude customer service each time. Rly wish I could take my tip back lol

Currently under construction so it's a little crowded atmosphere wise, but the staff were great as always.

The Classic Breakfast was perfect and the service great. Their bread for the toast is multigrain with a high seed content and seems very healthy. Price was also great when compared to other restaurants with similar offerings.

I was meeting a friend for lunch at Williams and I was delighted to find their vegan option, wrap. It was delicious. The coleslaw on the side was a nice touch. This wrap was great.

I had such a horrible experience at this location. I came in with my friend and I ordered their chicken and pesto goat cheese sandwich which is always my favourite. I asked for no arugula and I also paid 4$ for a side of potatoes. The waiter brought my sandwich and it had arugula in it and did not bring my potatoes. I told him that it was wrong and he took the sandwich back and removed the arugula and then brought the potatoes he then proceeded to say to me “I am bringing you these potatoes but you did not order them or pay for them” I said excuse me I have the receipt I paid for a side of potatoes with my sandwich go ask the lady at the cash. I even have my debit receipt in my account to prove it and he continued to argue with me. Wow! Extremely horrible experience Rebecca

Cindy Marroquin

Great

Gary Hodges

We got there about half an hour before close and the entire time we were there the waitress was rude to us. (She went so far as to tell every customer to leave at 10:15, and the cafe was still half full!) I've been there repeatedly and had normal experiences however this latest visit was extremely disappointing and if there was another cafe close to the movie theater I would rather take my business there than return to this one.

Codie Crawford

My husband & I got take out from here tonight and we were very dissapointed.. We ordered sweet potato fries with each of our sandwhich and it really looked like there was maybe 13 fries in each order and some parts looked rotten. Have prictures to prove it.. They were not worth the 5 dollars for each order of fries... This place is over priced!! We are very dissapointed with the food we got..

Mahyar Vajedi

Ordered a veggie panini to go.. got a chicken pesto panini??? Couldn't take my order back because it was TO GO so I had already left before I noticed the error. I'm a vegetarian so I can't even eat it. Speed of service was fine.. would have been better if the order was correct.

Marta Mercado

Nice

Chetan Hassarajani

Better coffee than starbucks, better prices than starbucks and awesome personalized service.

Very Wary

Nice staff, friendly and busy. Coffee is pretty average, at least the stuff that's already brewed. I have had an Americano there that was good. The thing that earned only 2 stars is the abysmal assortment of stale baked goods foisted upon customers for inflated prices. Cookies, muffins, croissant - uniformly and invariably STALE. I can't say if they are baked on the premises nor moreover during which month they may have been made. Regardless, my advice is to avoid the disappointment and skip this establishment altogether.

Joshua Samson

LOVEGHOST NIGHTMARE

Smacks of management issues. Food and prices are fair in quality but service always seems aloof; like they'd rather be doing something else. Of course they would, but there's little enthusiasm for service, they seem constantly stressed out, and it doesn't seem like personal issues.

This is a local friendly cafe. Normally I go there and eat some food and drink a cop of coffee while playing backgammon with my friends. The prices are reasonable . All furnitures are comfortable. The atmosphere is attractive. I really enjoy this place so much and recommend it to all.

Christina Li

It’s my favorite place to go, enjoy their drink and food. BUT!!! It’s ends now. I don’t think this is good for customers’ experience. I don’t know if it is the drink standards changed, or your staff don’t have good and enough training. Totally ruined my favorite drink. I bought London Fog, this is the original look!Where’s the other half part of my drink? Is this a fraud? You lost one customer now. If it still happen again to others, you might also lose them.

A spacious cafe with a large menu. Service is very efficient and kind, you're given a number to bring to your table and any food is then delivered to you when you're ready. There are many booths here as well as several seats with outlets in case you want to get some work done here on a laptop. Reasonable prices and good food. I especially liked their soup, which was warm and hearty.

Order was messed up and took 20mins to enter. I don't think the guy behind cash had ever been trained but even worse he gave us zero feedbqck on what was going on. Just science and lots of taping of the screen

Andreja Kovač

I spent a few days in the region and had food at Williams Fresh Cafe twice. Both times the food was delicious. They offer a good selection of sandwiches, salads, a couple of soup options (chicken noodle soup, tomato red pepper soup), mac and cheese and baked goods. They also have a good selection of coffee and drinks. Comfortable seating is great for bringing your computer, studying or working.

Olivia Krysinski

I'm new to Hamilton and I can say with full confidence that it has become my favourite place to work and study! Their food is always delicious and I love their lattes! Service is always super friendly and I really love how they ask if we need anything else when they serve our order! Overall extremely impressed :)

Honest Feedback

What a horrible experience, the food was terrible and stone cold, the manager or owner is absolutely AWFUL! Because I complained my food was stone cold and wasn’t happy she started arguing with me, so unprofessional! Won’t be long until this place is closed down.

Ralphy “The Caveman” Schmidt

Ok its better then starbuck whos drinks cost way to much and they suck but it is no coffee time or timmies

Seemed significantly under staffed today. Slow service and food was overcooked. Hope it was just an anomaly as it's normally much better.

Harshit Patel

Love their ambience and food.

Hamid Yazdani

Menu choices have improved but the quality and consistency of what one buys needs work. The bruschetta are sometimes sliced sometimes not sliced. Also the pizza crust or base can be firmer.

Been to Williams many times. The chicken in the wrap was falling out as there was so much of it. Whereas the Corned beef on rye literally had 2 thin slices, dry, and made for a very disappointing sandwich.

I'm sitting in a booth with a tear on the seat and crumbs and berries on the table; it smells like minute noodles and B.O.; the AC is obviously not on enough despite it being busy and over 20 outside and this thrumming/buzzing from overhead is giving me a wicked headache. I understand its peak lunch time and I expected it to be busy despite that the staff were friendly and quick. I guess the higher ups here need to work on improving the ambiance rather than pushing more expensive yet less flavorful drinks. The brownie was dry and had a slight dirt flavor as well which sucks bc I was really looking forward to chewy chocolaty goodness. Sorry, won't be coming back here.

Great tasting coffee!

Les Patterson

A good place to meet although it can be loud. Their selection of treats and coffee and other beverages is excellent. Convenient access with lots of free parking and proximity to other stores and banking.

I like this place to spend an hour on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon but I rarely ever get to actually do that because every time I go, there’s never any seats and we end up leaving. So many of the big booths are often taken up by one person on a laptop which doesn’t seem fair for people who come in to actually enjoy a coffee and a conversation. I can’t count the amount of times this place has lost my business for that reason. Sometimes the booths do have a sign saying for more than two people, but I don’t think it’s actually enforced. They have good drinks and treats but I wish I could enjoy it more often.

Food: 5 stars, service: 2 stars. The guy at the counter didn't seem to be fully awake. I've never been there before so didn't know that I had to get the purchased bottled water from the cooler myself. Our table, although cleared of dishes, was dirty. The waitress who dropped off our order didn't even look at us. I needed ketchup and had to waive her down. Again, she didn't even look at me and run off before I could finish my sentence (I was going to ask for something else). I gave up. And no, it was not very busy at all. Having said that, the food was delicious. Fresh, appealing and tasted great. I would go back just for that and hopefully will get a better service next time.

Williams went through a rough period but with the latest owners, the food is fresh and well prepared, the owners and staff care and are courteous! Welcome back Williams! I missed you! ❣️

Joe Dukes

I normally go to the Williams at the harbour front in Hamilton. Love it and always great food. Thought I'd try the Burlington location....hmmm not the best. Maybe just an off night for them, not sure? Forgot the avocado and quinoa was overlooked and just a big clump. Back to Hamilton it is!

Instagram ID: anjav3 Food/Drinks: - Banana Pineapple smoothie is what first got me into drinking smoothies! It’s thick and delicious, no added sugar. Sometimes I ask for added protein in the smoothie which makes it great for after workouts. It’s a great portion size too and keeps you full for a couple hours - Williams Signature Coffee is the best fast food coffee out there! It’s very fresh, always piping hot and it’s good quality coffee - Their bowls are amazing and you can customize it yourself and add whatever you like to it. Their chicken is always cooked perfectly, and they add a fair amount of every ingredient in the bowls so every bite is full of every flavor - Their pizzas are very delicious and one of my favourite thin crust pizzas! So much flavor and keeps you very full for a long time - The choclatine and chocolate hazelnut croissants are my husband’s favourite snack to have along with coffee so it’s a great choice for the chocoholics out there Other Comments: - Tons of parking available as it’s located inside a plaza - Service is always nice and friendly - Tons of seating inside the café and multiple areas for charging laptops and cellphones so it’s a great place to study and get a delicious meal - Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes that you get - The menu changes every so often so you always get a chance to try something new Instagram ID: anjav3

Oneness Esor

Very relaxing atmosphere. Love the hot chocolate☕ ; great for a sunny winter day☃????

Anne Blinch

Place is alright. Mostly because the store is confusing. They put the milk in. But you put the sugar. Just leave the milk and sugar on the counter, makes orders much faster then guessing how much milk they want. Coffee was good. Space is large. Tables are with power cables. Not too noisy so it's good for meetings but also easy to overhear due to way seats are arranged.

Great for meeting people. Great variety. A little pricey.

My friend and I met for lunch today and we both enjoyed our meal. My friend had the signature salad and I had a chicken caesar wrap - both were tasty, well presented and worth the money. My coffee was excellent, as Williams' coffee always is, and my friend really enjoyed her tea. We stayed long enough to need a mid-afternoon snack, and the chocolate shake was great. The staff are friendly and efficient, and obviously enjoy their work.

Josh Estacion

Nicole Bryant

Got charged $20 for 2 regular sized frappes, which were super watery and didn’t have taste. When I asked the server about the price she something along the lines of it being $5.65 so so $20 for the both made sense. No where in my life has $5.65x2 equaled $20. Also, she gave major attitude and just walked away. My friend and I also got Mac and cheese which came to us very cold and unenjoyable. At this point I have given up. This is my first time at this location and I can tell you I will never step foot in this place again. Staff are rude and unprofessional, menu items are poorly made and the prices they charge you are outrageous. I will make sure everyone I know will not be coming here. Ever.

What a lovely place, good food and service and atmosphere, definitely hope to go back

Color Foodie

I paid $6 for a tea with some milk... more expensive than STARBUCKS LOL The service is sub-par, the food is like McDonald's, for example the Eggs are for sure cooked in a plastic bowl in a microwave. It's not quality food so why are the prices like a restaurant? I think it's an ok atmosphere, but the WiFi is unpredictable & rarely works, and the food and beverage's are mediocre. ***EDIT: I really appreciate being sent a survey here to share my ideas in more detail. I think that's a GREAT sign of having the motivation to get better. I will give 1 extra star for this and give them another try and get back!

Frederick C Tucker

This place has become our go-to place for either a meal or just a coffee and dessert. The staff here are terrific! Always friendly, always helpful.

Kartiki Bhatnagar

Place is decent but I'm disappointed with their coffee. No taste, just bitter cofeee. Also this is supposed to be a coffee shop and they don't even have electrical outlets in the entire place. How does one work? Sadly not coming back and giving my business to Starbucks.

Annemieke Smit-Roeland

We went here for a lunch. We had a salad (california + chicken) and a sandwich (wasabi tuna melt). The seats were nice and the atmosphere was good. When it's busy it can be a little noisy (echo) though. The salad tasted really good and the sandwich as well. Still, we thought the portion size of the sandwich was quit small. We expected to get at least 2 slices of bread. Our overall experience is still fine!

I enjoy studying here at times since they have a lot of tables and large windows. However the wifi disconnects often. I like the cakes they serve but most of their menu items are overpriced. I had sweet potato fries for $8 once and there were less than 10 pieces

Went mid-morning on a Saturday and ordered a cappuccino and croissant to stay. After 20 minutes, I had to go to the counter and practically beg to get someone's attention to find out why my coffee still hadn't arrived. It wasn't particularly busy, so I'll chalk it down to unorganized. They either forgot my order or failed to prioritise a coffee over all of the kitchen orders that had them running around in chaos.

Zoey B.

Can't speak to the staff or atmosphere as my partner and I ordered through Door Dash, but the food was awful. I understand that it is relatively inexpensive, but for a broke college student it isn't pocket change. Everything tastes like it was microwaved or prepared in advance. The bagel sandwich wasn't toasted so it went soggy. Avocado was brown. Lettuce was wilting. Coffee, that we requested with milk and sweetener, was near pitch black and tasted as such. When we called, hoping for a refund, we were told that they were busy, and they would call us back. Honestly, don't waste your money here. I'm failing to understand how they came up with "Fresh Cafe" or "Real. Fresh."

Great customer service. I left my wallet in the store and received a message from one of the staff telling me that it was placed in the back office once I realized it was missing. I went in the next day and the staff not only found my wallet, however since the process took some time, I was offered a complimentary drink as well. Very impressed with the service and would definitely recommend.

Ali Rahnama

Cozy

Jay Four

Recently renovated into a metro style; less cozy and more trendy. I find the open space and top 40 radio make it too noisy. It's more like a cafeteria than a cafe now. Food is as expected for a William's, which is to say not bad, but not great. Breakfast is the better choice but they only serve it in the mornings, not sure if that has changed.

Meheroo Jamshedji

I went in with my parents who ordered 2 black coffees and 2 pastries. I ordered a cappuccino, which never appeared after 20 minutes so I went to the counter to look for it. It arrived about 5 minutes after that stone cold, as if it had been in the refrigerator. My parents had long finished theirs, which they said was very good, as were their pastries. The replacement cappuccino was warm at best, but probably would have been good if it was hot.

Their coffee is so much better than the stuff sold at the hockey player place. And the treats too!

Paul Tuck

Great visit and the gal who manages the restaurant is very good and professional. Sadly, because of the province's restrictions they can only seat 10 at a time, not fair but they're making it work.

Cory Serratore

I would give zero if I could. Waited over an hour for a sandwich and a soup. When I finally got it I realized it had been sitting off to the side for 20 plus minutes and forgotten. They offered me a refund and took the food. So I wasted over an hour to grab my wife lunch who had to leave because her soup took longer to pour than her entire lunch break. The worst service I think I’ve ever had.

Visiting Guelph we stopped here for lunch - we ordered the Williams Power Bowl and the Mango Chipotle Chicken - we were one of the few customers in there yet they forgot to put the chicken in the Mango Chicken and used frozen vegetables. Mediocre food prepared by someone who wasn't paying attention. Not recommended.

Anne Lavender

Ryan Rivais

Really like this place. Food is pretty good for the price range, staff is super friendly, and somehow it feels cozy even though it's a fair size and quite an open space. I usually go there with a couple of friends and it usually costs us about $40-$50 (without dessert). Considering that it costs me $25-$30 for junk food for two at the movies, $40-$50 for good food for three is a much better deal ????.

I try to come here multiple times a week because of the convenient location. I normally love the coffee quality and always place the same order in hopes that it will be up to par. My order is usually taken by the same staff members, but even as a regular customer I’m still constantly dealing with inconsistent/poor quality/taste most days and unwelcoming, rude and dismissive attitudes and service. Tired of spending and wasting my money here. I’ll spare myself the trouble and take the few extra minutes to walk across the street to Starbucks where I’m always regarded warmly and satisfied with my order.

Cate G

Staff are so friendly, it’s really small but really nice and the food is good, though I didn’t get exactly what I ordered and it had avocado and spinach on it which I didn’t ask for and the menu didn’t say it had those things. However, the big reason why I am only giving it 2 stars is because I went in for breakfast on Sunday morning and they were playing a religious service over the sound system in the restaurant. I am very respectful of people’s beliefs and am Anglican myself but I don’t think at a place of business you should be playing a full of religious service over the speakers unless your business is religious in nature because you’re forcing your customers to listen to this stuff then and for me anyway I was deeply uncomfortable with having to listen to this when I just wanted to have a nice breakfast before my exam. Just play music or something instead of a religious service thing.

Carrie Polynkin

Breakfast tasted really bland, and the coffee was sour. Staff and decor was nice.

Dorothy Martell

I come in here to study pretty frequently, and I've never had a bad experience! It gets pretty busy in here at lunch on the weekdays, so service can be a bit slow -- but the food is very good and the service is friendly, even on the busiest days. The only time I've ever had a mistake made with my order (on a crazy busy weekday when the staff were facing technical problems with the cash registers), the staff were quick to fix the issue and exceptionally friendly, even getting me a complimentary cookie as an apology. The food options are much better than many other cafes in the area -- they offer quesadillas, waffles, flatbreads, and interesting wraps rather than just the standard cafe soups, sandwiches, and salads. The desserts are great (especially the cheesecakes and the white chocolate raspberry cake), and the drink selection is far superior to most (the house-made sodas are a personal favourite, as are the London Fogs, which are so hard to find in chain cafes and so so so good). Despite rather limited access to electrical outlets (only 2 in the entire restaurant, unfortunately) and the pandemonium of the lunch rush, this is my absolute favourite place to study in Burlington. I will definitely be back!

Always a busy location and a great area to merge others for a friendly discussion about investing opportunities in the Kitchener market.

S. “Luckett” Luckett-Gatopoulos

Great coffee shop, but be super careful about parking your car. If you leave the lot for even a minute to go to another store before you leave (doesn’t matter if you’ve been at Williams for minutes or hours) parking enforcement will swoop right in to make sure you get ticketed. I’ve watched parking enforcement stand in the car park and threaten a young woman that if they saw her leave the lot they would immediately ticket her. And they weren’t kidding. They stood there and waited. Of course, this is no reflection on Williams but something to be aware of if you’re thinking of stopping in for a muffin and then grabbing a prescription from shoppers or a coffee from Starbucks.

I heard there was a Covid-19 outbreak in this cafe and they refused to shut down. Not a good look

Vince Bettencourt

Coffee is good. Selection of food is excellent. Quality is consistent. Love going to Williams

Will Mccrae

Overall quality of the food was good. But for $ 101.00 dollars there should have been enough food to feed 6 as advertised. Main entree really is for one person. For the price a big disappointment. In the end I paid 140.00 to have it delivered. Kids were still hungry.

Jason Crown

Love coffee, doesn't matter where it is from !!!

Addie L

Favourite cafe. I graduated from McMaster a year ago but I still come here all the time when I am in Hamilton. The food may be expensive but it is healthier than a bunch and has a different variety. The staff is always kind and give great service. It is also a great place to study!

Tomato soup was amazing! Service was a bit slow (particularly when my friend got up to get a slice of cake and it took them 5-10 minutes to bring it to the table when there were no other customers at the cash). A cozy place to catch up or study/work for a few hours though!

Way too expensive for what you get. Service always takes a LONG time, food is bland but fresh. Everytime I come to this location or any other location this seems to be the trend.

Called this location at 2:11pm on October 31, 2021. Not sure why the staff on phone is that rude, refuse to answer my question, just say goodbye and hang up the phone. Is this how you always treat customer calls?

William's is my current go-to coffee shop to study or chat. The variety of food is great and everything taste delicious. Not only that, but the service is great. Food is out in under 20 minutes, staff are friendly and give good recommendations. I love the booths (sometimes hard to catch one during the day) and the ambience. However, it is hard to get access to an outlet as they are only located against the back wall of the café. Customers are usually nice enough to let you leave your laptop/phone with them to charge, but can be an inconvenience to your workflow. Open until late at night, so you can study for long hours. Love!

Suitable place to work at if you are dedicated to making it your full time job. Management is disrespectful though and treats you like garbage if you don't exceed their expectations. Food is very overpriced for the quality that it actually is. Be careful not to get anyone's bad side because they have a habit of throwing out paychecks!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE .. THEIR HOT SPOT WILL NOT ACCEPT LOGIN OF VALID ACCOUNT .. HAVE COMPLAINED ROUTINELY OVER PAST YEARS .. NOTHING DONE .. NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME .. THEY HAVE STOLEN MONEY THROUGH NOT ALLOWING MY WILLIAMS TO BE USED .. THE PLACE SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED UNTIL DRUXY'S RECTIFIES THE SITUATION

Dia Brown

It's alright. Good place to have a comfortable conversation and catch up with an old friend. I ordered a bagel and added bacon and tomato for an extra 2 dollars. The bagel was not even your regular grocery store bagel size, it's much smaller. Tomato was skimpy and the bacon was so thin, you could practically see through it! 4 half strips of nothing. I'll try this place again, order something else and hope for the best. To put it in perspective, $8.50 for a chintzy bagel and bottled vitamin water.

This chain makes great beverages, but you get what you pay for (upscale coffee shop). This location is very busy with students and limited seating, but service was good.

I've been here twice (first time was a few weeks ago) since moving to the area and both times ive been disappointed. I do not think the food or the coffee tastes as good as other Williams resturants. In particular, today the avocado in my sandwich was not even close to being ripe. It was rubbery and required a knife to cut through. The staff responded when asked about it and were apologetic. However, I've cut many avocados myself and it's really easy to tell when one isn't ripe (especially to the point of it being rubbery...), so why did it go on the sandwich in the first place? The Wi-Fi disconnected on me multiple times, sometimes only lasting a minute between, but I guess it's free so can't really complain about there. There are power outlets though which is something many cafes lack.

Fluffy Kitth

Salad is pretty good and it comes with garlic bread :DDDDDD

Dave Warren

We've been at this place with family that was visiting Canada. Their kid was a little upset and making noises, so the waitress asked us to keep silence. Maybe I'm wrong but I will never imagine somebody asking me to keep it quiet in a coffee place. Off course my family went away from the place at the very minute she asked that. I used to recommend their coffee, won't do it again and will try to avoid this place. Note: if you have kids don't take them there, they don't like kids and will be sure to make you feel like garbage.

Ryan Pineo

The staff were great. They were friendly, made me feel welcome and were more than willing to help explain the menu items. I ordered the Rubin sandwich. It was good, but a little soggy on the bottom, but that was likely from the sauerkraut. The interior itself was depressingly dark and dated. We couldn't wait to leave. I know it's a cafe, but there was no warmth. The decor was very generic and almost hostile. It's not a place I would like to being my friends for an afternoon out, which is a shame, because the food is really good. I'm not sure of the look the desiger was going for, but it feels more "Highway reststop" than a cafe. Once again, the staff were wonderful and were the saving grace of my visit

Just had one a of the worse customer experiences for a long time. We wanted an interesting latte to celebrate our day. We found Williams had some neat ones on their website. So we called and ordered. After having to repeat our order to the person on the phone 3 times and giving them our phone number they told the order would be ready in 15 minutes. We drive 10 minutes to go get them, wait in the car for 5 minutes and go in. They tried to give us the lattes that are boring we could have got anywhere - a plain one and a caramel one. My son took the caramel one for me even though it wasn't what we ordered. To add insult to injury the latte was a plain latte. When I called to complain the manager I got excuses about their head office changing the menu. No accountability that they didn't tell us when they took the order and didn't call us. He offered to give me a latte to replace the one I got. Really, that's what you call customer service? I wouldn't ever order something online from them. You risk driving there to find out that they don't have what you ordered. Rotten service.

This place have very good environment and I like to spend 1/2 an hour to have a coffee there. The cappuccino usually is great but last time I visited wasn't so good. Wasn't hot enough and I think was made long before I ordered. The other things in this location is that they start to ask for a tip before to pay the bill. This to me is rip off because I pay almost $5.00 for a cappuccino and because someone need 20 seconds to bring it to the table I have to pay more ... . I'm not happy this time. I fill bad that didn't give a tip. The place is very busy and I think the owner have to pay enough without ask me to help the employees. If is like that next time I'll find another place to have my cappuccino or espresso.

Courtney McCarthy

Love their salads!

Exequiel Torres

Amanda Spears

Do not recommend visiting this location. I went recently and was told I cannot bring outside food into the cafe - which is fair so I put it away. However, after I ordered food and a coffee from Williams even though I had my own, he said that he didn’t like that I was studying at the cafe and told me I had to sit at a small table or leave. Ok first of all, it’s across from a university so smart choice on location there (despite the insane business you probably get...) and second of all, why do you have free Williams guest wifi if we’re not supposed to use it... mind you I was only studying for an hour and a half and he told me to move.

Umme Salma Gadriwala

Very loud and busy with students from McMaster flooding the place always. We tried their waffles and milkshakes. Terribly overpriced, but tasted good.

Holly Deeks

I went in wanting to sit at a table and work. I left having found my new favourite café. I ordered the BLT with avocado on multigrain bread. It wasn't special or fancy or anything, but it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever bought. The bread was so fresh and crispy and there was the perfect amount of mayo on it to bring all the flavours together. It was a little more pricey than I would spend at Tim Hortons, but the freshness and quality of food were unbeatable.

Alannah Pelini

When I first moved to Hamilton Williams had good food at reasonable prices. My favourite item was crepes. They replaced the crepes with waffles. While the waffles are good, the crepes were better. Also, the prices are high considering it's a big student area.

I took my son for lunch and the meal was fantastic! The strawberry caramel and funky monkey waffles were amazing and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. Great portion sizes and fair prices. Hot chocolates were by far the best I have tasted and the peppermint hot chocolate was exceptional. Clean kid friendly environment. 10/10

Agnes Bos

Sean Eady

The fresh look and new management looks promising.

Jonathan Hayes

The steamer was broken, limiting my hot drink order to coffee, Americano or tea. On top of this, I asked for a to go coffee and waited 15 minutes before going up to the counter and having them make it on the spot after my prompt. Absolutely horrid standard of service.

Kenny Sproat

Tonight was my very first visit. Although the staff seemed nice and I initially was thinking of definitely coming back, I will not be returning here again. I ordered a Latte and requested Almond Milk (as I am allergic to cow's milk). When the drink was being handed to me I asked the worker again if it was made with Almond milk and she confirmed it was. I began drinking it on the way home and realized it was made with regular cow's milk. Thankfully I only got through a quarter of the drink before realizing but I still have a reaction from it. Good thing my reaction is not severe, but I still wasted money. I understand workers being tired and wanting to start cleaning up and getting ready for closing. However, do not lie to customers about ingredients when it could be life threatening.

Elizabeth A Kennedy

They're doing an excellent job of ensuring you can have a good experience dinning in. Full proper checking vaccination (QR + ID), same lovely service as pre-pandemic. Thank you, starting to feel relatively normal again.

Rolando Tecson

This was the worst cafe I’ve ever been to, you had terrible customer service and all. Also Kitchen staff was slow with meal, the cashier with brown hair was very rude and tried fighting with coworkers, dress code should be a uniform as one girl is always wearing boots, And the manager does not seem to care about employees. Very unprofessional

Brent B

Jean Guy Duguay

Absolutely the worst service possible! I asked for a cappuccino I get given a latte, not a big deal I brought it back then the owner came over and started getting aggressive with me for no reason at all, I get served cold food and decided that we would go somewhere else, the owner tells me a I am abusing her staff when I spoke to her directly and then has the nerve to tell my husband she feels sorry for him when I never raised my voice, swore or was aggressive at all, I simply stated I didn’t want to eat cold food I payed $20 for, I wouldn’t even give this place a 1 star!!!! Absolutely disgusting ownership

Luke Lefrancois

Gavyn McLeod

The prices for food here are unbelievable. You'd think you were dining at a sit down Restaurant with full service. The food was OK, but a wrap and salad should not cost $22 at a fast food restaurant. Good location as far as Williams are concerned though.

Haytham Alzain

Ali . Alnajafi

The customer service is so bad .. the worker are so rude with talking with people. I went to pickup and order order payed for... I had to wait 20 more min over the time that it should be ready... the Indian tall guy was racist to me and when I tried to explain that the food should be ready 20 min ago he started to swear at me in very rude way ... at the end whe the food was ready he threw it on my face in disrespectful way.... I really think the cafe need to work more about their staff ... I I was expecting at least to be served in a respectful way

Benjamin Wiebe

Nice place to work. The environment mostly students. Time and attention superb

I'm been coming here for over for five years. Great place to meet a friend for coffee or get some work done. The new reno looks great. Wish they were open later. Downtown needs more hangouts.

Bert Ji

Standard Williams. Hours are a bit weird given it's in downtown. There are alternatives if you want coffee.

Spree

Williams is a great place to get work done in town. there food is sometimes inspired by middle eastern foods, such as Shwarma meat and curry. there WiFi is very good for a cafe and there service is pulled into a very interesting system for getting your food, which involves paying up front and then giving you a sign so that the waiter can find your table. i suggest the quesadilla, which is incredibly full of flavor with chicken, cheese and salsa. if you need to get your paper done, i suggest grabbing a coffee at williams and grinding it out!

Ordered a pick up from door dash on the app. App let me put in order and then I drove to pick up my order. They told me they don’t do door dash there and that at 8:30, the kitchen was closed so I couldn’t even order the sandwich I wanted. As I was leaving, there is door dash sign on the door. Also, they close at 10 but the kitchen is closed at 8:30?? Used to like the sandwiches but never again.

Do not go to this location aged baked goods bad coffee the staff forgot I ordered a smoothie I had to ask for it twice. If you have a coffee and you are in the middle of some thing they will ask you to leave. I will never come back to this dump ans this store should be closed. Its a dump

Brutally bad service. We were a group of 6. Took 10 minutes to get the first drink and 40 to get the last. The last drink was a banana, mango, pineapple smoothie and until I got angry about this now taking 40 minutes, they then told us they had no bananas . Substituted strawberries which was fine. STAY AWAY!

This is a student-run cafe. Went for a cake and tea. Unfortunately the second time in a row I get over frozen not fresh cake for 6.25 CAD. The atmosphere is nice but cakes are no good anymore. Perhaps other food offerings are better but not desserts in my latest experience. Servers need a better training and care handling food. The cake you see on the display is not what you would actually get as they cut your peace from another, often frozen cake. My cake was broken into 2 pieces (probably because it was too frozen) and still served. No feel of esthetics or service quality from there server's part. Internet is of moderate quality here with 0.7 Kbits/s down and 0.5 Kbits/s up from Bell (OK for a Skype audio call but not for intensive photo upload). In summary a compete disappointment and waste of my money. Will only drink coffee or tea next time to save nerves and money.

Took forever to put my order in as the cashier and the customer in front of me were having a conversation about the gift cards instead of serving customers. Tried to order drinks and was told they didnt have any pumpkin left for anything. The cashier was having a hard time trying to take my order of a coffee and a plain waffle. Finally get to sit down and it took 20 mins for them to make it and bring it to my table.

Hello all. I ordered roasted vegetable panini with multi grain bread. First, received with regular bread. They brought us back with multigrain. Grilled vegetable cold as ice, bread burnt. Never seen in my life. I am going to ask again to see.

This Willam’s is amazing, the table service is fast, the coffee is probably the best chain coffee I’ve had, the food is awesome. It’s a great place to have lunch at with your friends, lots of sunlight. The only thing I miss is their sweet potatoes fries.

Harkirtan Toor

Great food and management. love this place.

I am sure every Waterloo student agrees that this has probably been their hangout spot at some point during university. Love going there for their breakfast wraps and chocolate milkshake! Would also recommend their chai milkshake. Sometimes hard to find a table & the place can be a little pricey but that will not deter me from going back for their yummy treats!

Brian Zubert

Coffee: slightly above average. Price: slightly above average. Atmosphere: slightly below average. I've always had it in my mind that Williams is one of the nicer coffee spots, but this location was anything but. This particular Williams feels a bit run down, a bit grungy. Williams continues to be my 3rd or 4th option - if it's more convenient than all the other franchises and independents, it's an adequate fill in.

I hadn't been here in a long time and I was disappointed in my two visits this week. I don't know if it was because of the holidays or if it is usually this way but this location is very slow. It looks like there are only three employees working. On my first visit the woman in front of me, in line, just left. When I finally was able to order two coffees and two baked goods we were given a number and sent to find a seat. It took forever, there were numbers on lot of the tables with people obviously waiting. The second visit was almost the same, but this time we were given our drinks and had to wait for our baked goods. The treats came as we were finishing up our drinks. I also know it is winter and floors get dirty, but when they decided to mop the floor they used some cleaner that set my allergies off. I had to get out of there fast. I don't blame the staff, there just is not enough of them. At the much smaller Starbucks in the Indigo had more employees working. Starbucks does not have as wide or complicated menu. The other Williams on Appleby closed about a year ago, I hope that this location can improve. They are beside a Cineplex and should have a healthy amount of customers.

Great cute cafe with fresh food. Loved the red pepper and tomato bisque. Had the chicken pesto panini which was pretty good.

The lady behind the counter wasn't very pleasant to deal with and the food and coffee are mediocre at best. For what you get it is super overpriced. The chicken in bowls is colourless and has no flavour whatsoever. You could get a decent meal at a restaurant for the same price that is actually cooked properly.

Boyfriend bought me an ultra rich, schmancy hot cocoa when I moved in with him from Scarborough. The hot choc was fabulous & totes sealed the deal.

Williams has recently had a change in management and the quality of their food is excellent! I stop in frequently for their coffee, which is arguably one of the best brews in town. The Williams team is always friendly and works to make sure their customers are happy and always satisfied. I'm glad they are so conveniently located so I can visit them often!

Will Partington

Refused tap water at William’s Fresh Cafe. I said I would pay for the cup, yet they still refused due to a “head office policy”. I did not want to buy another plastic bottle of water. Maybe there should be another option that’s not plastic bottles of water, especially in a university town. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Sara Cameron

If you order iced coffee beware it comes insanely sweet, you have to specify you don't want sugar or sweetener, even though the description says nothing about that. No problem I would know for next time, except that when I asked about it the manager said it was my fault and they aren't doing anything about it. Mistakes happen but bad management and no customer service isn't a way to ensure you have returning customers.

Waited 7 minutes for an americano. Doesn't even taste good. Was going to get a slice of cake from the display but decided not to since I couldn't even see through the condensation covering the glass. Going to Starbucks now three locations over.

Used to go more often before renovation, it's ok now. Customer service not good at all. Update: I just went there with my family. Ordered funky monkey. The waffle was very thick. The centre was doughy (almost uncooked). Still disappointed. The positive side was the ice cream (both vanilla and chocolate).

Had a turkey and Swiss sandwich and a fresh salad. The bread and the salad were very fresh and the food quality exceeded my high expectations. The staff go above and beyond making this worthy of a full 5 star experience! Another experience today, April 27th, 2018 with the Avacado and egg on a bagel for breakfast, It did not disappoint! Thanks to the staff for the warm service, these folks are the standard to meet for the rest of the industry.

Rudra IRR

Agree the wifi at this location had issues. It's great to see the location upgraded their wifi, per staff "they upgraded to 100 + users". I was on it for 30 min, it was fast, did not disconnect. Staff was friendly. I came back after a year. The place looked nice. I had a rice box with chicken and a coffee to drink. It came out fast, considering it was busy. My friend ordered a salad and a soup. We liked the service. Place was clean and staff was organized. There was a person in front of us who was complaining to the staff or a manager. We thought the staff or a manager did a good job in defusing the problem. We were impressed. But then we heard the same person talk to her friend, as they were sitting beside us in next booth, how they scammed and got a free stuff from the manager. It is so shameful that people can drop to this level, making a good business look bad. I gave this place 5 star because we were happy with everything. We recommend this place. We will come back. Good job Williams!

Catering and business meetings. I frequently host business meetings at this location and the food and service is excellent. I also have had several events catered through them and I am always impressed.

Javier Zuleta

Latte was delicious. Understaffed...tables needed to be bussed.

Ali Nikdel

Graham Freeman

I stop by here a couple of times a month to meet with friends. There's usually at least half a dozen of us so we're usually tight for space if the cafe is busy. It can be frustrating when 8 of us are spread over a couple of tables not next to each other, while two single people take up two four-seater tables together near the door. The coffee is good, the food is great, and the service is excellent. Friendly register staff, bussing is quick and with a smile, and the servers always ask if there's anything else that can help with. Value is good - it's decently priced for an average coffee joint but this is smarter, cleaner, friendlier, and serves better dishes than average, so I'd highly recommend Williams for a coffee and snack with friends. Try their Chunky Monkey waffle if you are hungry. It's huge, and very tasty.

Not even worth one star right now. What happened? This place has gone downhill since the summer. Walked in tonight to all the booths dirty with no dishes cleared. More fun to chat behind the counter then do a job.

Such a cute little cafe. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Food selection is great. Great place to study, meet friends, or grab a quick bite.

It was my 1st time at Williams Fresh Cafe, this is one of my wife's favorite places. I ordered the BLT & Avocado and it was delicious and very fresh. I will definitely come back to try other options on their menu.

Good: A lot of their menu items are exceptional, especially the waffles (get the strawberry!). Coco is great. Milkshakes are to die for! Wait time is usually good, food getting time is good to. Atmosphere and things to do is amazing. Great crowds and feel. This location uses less hot chocolate mix in their drinks and is uniquely different than the Pier 8 one. Not bad, just different. Waterfront is best. Mediocre: Staff can be good one day and bleh the next. Usually on busy days. Bad: None.

Disappointed with our experience. My wife wanted a cappuccino and it was 35min to closing and they said she can't have one because they had already cleaned the machine. Why does the owner allow them to close up when the open sign says OPEN? What's worse is she ordered a black coffee and when we got outside we saw it was some milky brown coffee... Black means black. Nothing in it!

Catherine C

Decent spot for a get together with friends or a spot to get some work done. The bowl I had was filling and healthy. You get a good portion for what you pay for.

Beth Brown

Casual place with reasonable prices and great food. Lots of people using their computers, obviously student friendly.

Milan Svitek

During exam time, packed with UofG students. Other than that, its a generally quiet café with excellent food and drinks to choose from. Prices aren't bad, but they are higher than average. Food is fresh, drinks are smooth, and the decor is grate. It's an awesome place.

Popped by to see if anything has changed. It hasn’t, new management is poor. Good food; horrifically poor work flow/management, the staff didn't help each other or communicate. This led to long wait times spent watching a group of individuals flail about instead of a team fulfilling orders.

I was a little let down by the food here (William's Cafe at King St). The first Williams Cafe I visited was the one at the Fairway Rd and I liked it very much... I ordered the exact same food here. And although the quantity was more, it didn't taste as good. My friend with whom I visited here, had the same experience too.

We have come numerous times and each time it has been terribly slow....we are currently waiting 15 minutes for a hot chocolate. There is never enough staff and half the food items on the menu never seem to be in stock! We only come as we always hope it will be a treat while waiting for the movies. Always disappointing!!

Food was delicious though I already knew this from years of coming here when I lived in burlington. But I totally regretted recommending it for dinner with 3 of my family members and I. Some food came up suuper quick others didnt come until we asked about it. We got given the wrong food too. And they forgot 2 of our drinks until the end. The server was completely unprofessional. Wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat while he worked. He took our table marker after bringing one drink over so the next server had no clue where she was going. It was just a complete mess and considering they're right next to a theater they should be a little quicker as we missed our movie because half our orders were so late.

No covid screening at the door. I was there for almost 2 hours and nobody was checked.

Jonathan Dorogin

You know what? A lot of people go to the nearby Starbucks, and I dont get it. Yeah, Starbucks is good, but the food and coffee at William's is just as good if not better - especially for breakfast food. Low key, William's has the best breakfast wrap in the game. Try the cheesy egg and bacon wrap and thank me later.

Noupada Mishra

Frank Miele

Disorganized. Incredibly long wait. Placing a simple order was like pulling teeth. There's a strong reason as to why skip the dishes stopped serving Williams. Do NOT waste your lunch break on the line up and disorganization of this place. Not worth it .

Deb Loewen

Shadi Bakir

I'm not entirely sure what this place is. Kinda a restaurant/coffee shop hybrid. Coffee is good, but I had this ahi tuna sandwich thing that tasted like canned tuna. I like canned tuna, but not for like 7-8 dollars or whatever it cost. Place it's huge. I spent probably 2 full days here (work thing) and it never got busy, which is nice.

As much as I would like to give it more stars, even 3 stars is a bit pushing it! We stopped at this location with my son, on our way out of town to get a coffee and a soft drink. We were the only people in line, the order was taken, we were given a number and then told to wait. And we did wait... and wait... and wait. After over 10 minutes, I asked how long are we still suppose to wait? After all, we only ordered a couple of drinks, that shouldn't take more than a few minutes to make. We were told the drinks are coming up... It took another 5 minutes before we were served. Honestly, as much as I like their coffee, I really don't have 15 minutes to waste waiting for a beverage that other places serve in less than 1 minute. If there would have been a line up, maybe that would justify the wait time, but otherwise, these guys should really get their act together!!! Unless you got plenty time on your hands, I wouldn't advise you use this location.

Good atmosphere and lovely employees, but obvious issues with management as it is understaffed, unstocked, and under trained. Wait times are ridiculously long, and there were two people working on a Saturday night approx. 7pm. Management has to step up if this place wants to improve.

I have been a regular customer for the last five years. Great location, ample parking, great service by all employees. I always enjoy my morning coffee and bagel, the place very clean.

The tuna melt had brown soggy lettuce on it and the tuna was super dry, no mayo or anything. The corned beef sandwich was $12 for a few slices of deli meat and some mustard. No cheese. No pickles. Just meat and mustard. It looked like something I would get at a gas station not something I ordered from a restaurant. $25 for two sandwiches, no drink or side included, is a bit much.

Had the worst experience here yesterday, came here to eat after a long trip and the order was completely wrong. I don’t know how the girl taking my order heard sandwhich when I ordered a red pepper soup?? Most unappetizing lunch and the garlic bread I got as sides were soggy for some reason… also went to waste.

Kayleigh Macdonald

The food and drink is really good here, however the service is absolutely horrible and has been every single time I've been here. There were 3 people in front of me and I waited half an hour to get my order taken! I had only ordered a latte and it then took a subsequent 20 minutes for the drink to come to my table. It was not busy at all and while I was waiting for my drink, I watched two members of staff talking at the front for at least 10 minutes before they dispersed. I saw the girl behind the counter bring out my latte and completely miss the table I was at (with the order number on the table, may I add) and go back behind the counter, where she then started to drink the coffee. I wasn't sure if it was mine so I waited a bit longer until I got up and went to the counter asking for my drink. She then apologized and said she threw out the drink thinking that I had left which was clearly not the case. If you are looking for fast service/in any sort of time crunch I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND.

As a museum and historical site, the property has been open to the public since 1910, and provides a rare look at Bell's first Canadian home, complete with authentic Bell family artifacts.The docents are knowledgable and friendly and a small gift shop is also on the site. Compared to the Bell site in Baddeck, visitors are actually able to tour an actual Bell home, which makes this visit especially meaningful

I honestly don't come here to eat since there are so many better other places. However, I get my coffee from them every single morning. In terms of quality, it is mediocre and doesn't really match the premium price that we pay for. Service is not very friendly and let's not talk about their slowest service ever. Every morning it take me 2 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to get a small coffee.

So I had a horrible experience today. I ordered cookies from them through skip the dishes with specific instructions not to send any peanut butter cookies. Of course, what do they send ..:. Peanut butter. My son has severe allergies to peanuts. When I called to complain, they kept insisting that I got my refund. You need to be more apologetic and own up to your mistake. What’s a $7 refund when it compares to your child’s life???? I understand mistakes happen but own up to it and try to do better!!!

Went to this Williams with 3 friends for dinner before the show. Ordered , items were good but had no deserts . Washroom and store was filthy, when told the young staff that the washroom needed ‘attention’ I knew she wasn’t going to do anything. You know it’s nice but sometimes you need some mature staff to run your business.

Yummy breakfast. Good tea.

Evan Thomas Knott

The seating and WiFi are pretty great for studying but because it’s near a shopping hub, you’ll get all sorts, including all the potentially annoying people. The business people can get dominant and loud. It can be like the mall itself with men forcing smiles on young woman and causing discomfort. It’s best to pick a time when it’s quieter or just carry on to better study spaces.

How can you mess up soup? Apparently very easily when a server is not paying attention to the customer. Today I ordered soup and nothing else at this Williams location. The young lady working the til was talking to another young lady working behind her while taking my order. Frankly I was annoyed at the time and gave them a "dirty look". When I went to my table I thought, "bet I get the wrong soup". I did. It was quickly replaced, but to answer my question "how can you mess up soup"? Easily. Don't pay attention to your customer when they are ordering.

The atmosphere here at Williams's cafe is excellent! It makes me feel like I'm in a retro Cafe from the 90s. This is a great place for a first date or just to meet with family or friends. The great thing about this location is that Silver City Ciname and a bar are in the same plaza.

Terrible service waited 30 minutes for 1 latte. My order was forgotten about I reminded after 15 minutes of waiting and was told they would make it right away. Then people who had just ordered were getting there lattes and drinks. I reminded them again and was told it was being worked on right now and waited another 15 minutes to get my one drink.

Good food, great ambiance!

I will never forget my last visit to this store. I came in one evening near closing time to order a hot drink and a snack. I was told they would be closing soon and would need to eat fast and leave. I sat down to eat when a dying friend who I was helping called. I was only a few seconds into the call when the employee came to my table to remind me they were closing and would need to leave. I explained to her that I was on the phone with friend who was in crisis and dying. She said she didn't care that I would have to leave.I explained to her that many stores once a customer is in will allow customers to finish and usually allow them 15-30 minutes before having them leave. This is what reasonable people do. And under the circumstances, I thought they would be more understanding. They were not. My dying friend could overhear the entire conversation. The server still refused to accommodate. I asked to speak to the manager and out came the owner's 18 year old son who was just as unreasonable as the server was. I was near in tears as my dying friend was in a crisis and I was attempting to help her. They did not care. I later spoke with the owners who were equally callus and rude. My friend has since died. I did speak with corporate office but was only offered an apology and gift card. The owners of Williams at city hall were among the most callus and self entitled people I have ever met. These people care only about one thing, profit. With the many coffee shops to choose from, this place should be avoided at all costs. I have encountered former employees who worked under the same owners for this Williams location and they shared similar experiences and like me have never gone back. Good riddance, no loss here. If I could give this store a " - 0" I would. Unfortunately the least allowed is one star.

Food quality is suffering, I got a great quesadilla 3 months ago I return today for the same order and it is undercooked with barley melted cheese, the staff rolled their eyes when I asked about coffee times (freshness), slow service , bad food, rude staff, 3/10,

Really poor food service. since the buy out / takeover. The food is now cold, the portions are smaller (half as much - same priced garlic bread) and generally higher prices - gotta pay for that investment somehow ! I've stopped visiting. A real pity, it used to be well priced, good service, & reasonable portions. No more. Oh, and the WiFi is awful, better to use LTE.

wow. the MOST disgusting bathroom ive ever seen. makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is.

TO MANAGERS ATTENTION : Staff looks really stressed out and unfriendly. They have a really serious look on their face all the time. Im sitting there everyday but today I really feel like they want people to leave asap. All the workers know me and they know im sitting around 2 hours at least. Since long time im a customer but every time they still give my coffee in disposable cardboard cup. Everyday im telling them to switch it with a mug. Compare to other Williams Fresh Cafe's this one is not really welcoming you at all. Go to Coffee Culture, much better place nearby...

I can't believe when you have a customer always come to have breakfast and a drink and been treated like this. I have my breakfast here and ask to leave my car in the lot just to pick a paper from the hospital cross the road and the answer was "we don't usually do that but we'll let you half an hour" it might take a bit longer due to crossing the road and reaching the department. You should look better for a customer always come to you when he is around. I was disappointed. Never come back. Good treatment is way better than good food. Thanks

The owner is not the kindest person. My friend and I came to Williams for lunch and to study together. We got here around 1:45 ate lunch and then got coffees. Just over an hour later the owner comes up to us and asks how long we’re planning to stay and says “like 10 hours?” As if he was trying to make us leave. Really rude especially how we are customers and have a right to stay and study if we’d like to. Not to mention my friends coffee is still half full and he’s trying to make us leave. Not happy at all, and probably won’t be giving business to someone that rude and disrespectful to his customers.

Suzanna Lam

This was the worst experience I've had at any coffee shop/cafe. When I entered the store, I was greeted by an attendant who was clearly very irritated and unwelcoming. It took 5 mins before she or any of the other 3 attendants came to take my order. I was the only customer in line. I ordered one of the lattes on the menu to which the attendant reacted as if she had never heard of it before, spent 5 minutes asking her coworker what it is, all while having no eye contact with me, speaking to me directly, or helping me understandwhatthe confusionis about. The coworker who had assisted her prepared the latte (which took another 10 mins). Along with my latte I ordered a chocolate brownie. After receiving and paying for the overpriced food, I hurried to leave the store as I did not feel happy with the customer service and also did not feel welcome there. When I got to my car and went ahead to try my food, the latte was made with what remained at the bottom of the coffee pot and was cold, burnt, and disgusting. The brownie was hard as a rock and after two bites I could not eat it. I feel ashamed to have trusted this place to serve me and will never visit again.

Went here for the first time today, purchased a grilled cheese which comes with coleslaw and a pickle spear. Got home and order was incomplete called the store spoke with an unknown representative as apparently the manager was not available. Rep didn't apologize but kept on saying I'll let them know for next time..that's the best you got? Sorry, to have placed such a difficult order. Thanks for my first and worst experience at Williams..lost a customer on his first visit.

Four staff sitting around on their phones when I came in. Ordered 2 sandwiches, still no food after 20 minute wait. I asked to cancel my second sandwich (hungry kid waiting in the car!). The sandwich I actually got (turkey club) was soggy, globs of mayo, cold meat. Overall terrible service, food quality, and no supervision over staff, who appear very young and unprofessional.

Normally it is usually really good and my milkshake that I ordered was fantastic as always. But I ordered the chicken pesto pizzeta and at first they messed up on it but then they brought me a new one which was okay. But it was really overpriced for the portion sizes.

Kerry-Lou Longbottom

I was there with a friend Saturday night January 27, 2018. We ordered our drinks and then the waitress came and told me their blender is not working so I can't get my cold drink. I asked for a cappuccino and they brought it a few minutes later but forgot my friends drink. He went to the counter and said oh sorry we FORGOT. Then one waitress comes to us and tells us it's closing time and literally takes my cup OUT OF MY HAND!!! Who does that?? How rude and very unprofessional, and she did it with a pathetic attitude as well. She seriously needs extensive customer service training. I didn't want to cause a stir so I did not say a word to her. But certainly not coming back here again!!! The 1 star is way too generous.

Fereshteh Rajabi

The pastry is usually old...I ordered a decaf cappuccino and the guy gave me regular cappuccino...I told him twice that I like my cappuccino decaf, but he obviously didn't listen...and the cappuccino tasted very poorly...not going back to this place...

Worst experience, waited 30 minutes for a $14 salad and once it arrived it was missing components and when the girl said she would go and get that component I told her not to bother and that I wanted a refund and she took that as being rude. I wasn't even raising my voice and she began to say that she was the owner and she would ask me to leave before my refund. Not even an apology for the crappy service and long wait. Very rude and abrasive attitude (I get it, it seemed busy in there) but do not take your frustrations out on me because you are having a bad day. Wasted my lunch break there and I would have been better off going through Burger King drive thru and getting better and efficient service than here. Would never go back and would never recommend anyone from my work place or anyone else to go there (Burlington location). Good thing I video recorded the "Owner" with my cell phone to show how rude and unprofessional she was.

Your typical coffee chain. Have been coming here for years and it's a common spot for meetings and working on your laptop. Only compliant I have are the premium prices with a tired decor. Many seats are worn/cracked but otherwise its clean and a good spot to have a meeting or catchup with friends.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE 100% RIPPED OFF. I honestly never write bad reviews but my experience was shockingly terrible. The meal came only half filled in unreasonably small containers - soup in a half-sized gravy container. Mac and Cheese totalled less than half a cup of cooked noodles. It was a COMPLETE RIP OFF. The restaurant did not care. When I said it did not look like the pictures, their answer was that "these photos are from dine in only" I honestly feel robbed :( There are much better places worthy and needing support in these tough times. Order elsewhere.

Dian Yu

Ambience is nice but food is a little over priced for the skill demonstrated. Bruchetta was soggy in the middle but there was plenty of tomatoes, the edges were crispy, and it tasted alright. They sprinkled a little arugala and that expensive balsamic vinegar on too to try and be fancy. There are windows all around overlooking the square and everything is a nice dark harwood with good lighting. Noise was also kept minimal which was great. Food was brought over but I had to go to the counter to ask for glasses of water. They do give water for free though. Okay if you're going for the setting more than anything else!

I am giving this a one star as the staff was very good the meal was another story. I ordered a sandwich Turkey cheese apple on a bun. It was so dry and cold as if it had been made ahead in the fridge. I took it back I told them I would have it on a bagel toasted. Well it was toasted but the chicken and cheese and apple was some how warm the cheese melted I think they heated it the microwave not really sure but by far terrible again I ate half but decided last visit here not only my meal was bad my husband had the French onion soup it had a blob of cheese the size of a loonie in the middle once again complained they took it away put a slice of cheese on top and microwaved it also. He could give you a much better receipe. I think you need to put a lot of work to keep up to some of the other places we have been to. It was our first and last visit. For 18.00 no drinks by far stay away from this place. Oh yes the bathroom issue that you were going to address by another complaint, well still not flushing.

Arezoo Rezaee

The place is nice and comfortable. They serve coffee in big mugs. The only thing is that their coffee is not as hot as it supposed to be; it’s just warm.

Best milkshake in Waterloo in my opinion. Good, quiet place to study, although it is a little small. I am also a huge fan of their coffee. They also have baked goods, but I feel they are pretty average.

Gursh Hayer

The manager will get upset if you bring in any outside food so be weary. However it is a great place to come and study or get some work done. It does have a tendency to get a little too loud at times. The staff is also very friendly. The food is pretty good as well.

The listed hours are barely a suggestion at this location. It has closed early the past two times that I have visited. The first time, they closed 3 hours early, within 10 minutes of me receiving my hot, dine-in coffee, leaving me with a burnt throat as I tried to comply with their request for me to leave. The location was clearly receiving plenty of business at that time, so I do not see any reason why they should have closed early, especially since Williams is not a small, independent business. Judging by the presence of a certain staff member on both occasions, it seems like someone at this location is taking advantage of their authority and closing when they feel like it. Students looking to work for a couple hours should avoid this location because you will just have to pack up and move to Starbucks anyway.

My first time visiting a Williams Fresh Cafe. After catching a movie a group of friends and I stopped in for a bite. The food was excellent! We ordered the veggie pizzetta (highly recommend), the cobb salad, veggie panini and a chicken rice box. All the food was delicious and fresh. The chai latte was very good and the peppermint hot chocolate was the best I have tried yet. It was pretty busy and I watched a few waffles coming out, I will definitely be ordering one on my next visit. Atmosphere is very unique and almost eclectic. Will definitely be making this place a regular on my list.

Getting breakfast on Oct 31 2021 around 1030. They took my hot tea to a wrong table instead of making me a new one, they just gave me the same cup. Isn't this violating food safety? Trying to call the server out, they just walked away.

The smoothie was delicious. Italian soda wasnt very carbonated. However, the customer service here is outstanding. The kind employee took the time to call me after reading my ubereats notes to ensure that there were no misunderstandings. I appreciate that in today's digital age. Everything is online. Was nice for him to take the extra time to make sure there were no issues with the order.

My first time at Williams, met a friend for lunch. The artwork was incredible and the food was great! I love the atmosphere, music was good and free wifi. I had a cobb salad (which I highly recommend trying) and a latte both were delicious. They were fairly busy so finding seating was hard but the waitress informed me you could call and reserve tables. I will definitely be going back.

Awful awful customer service. The manager approached me and told me I had to move to a smaller table after I had been at the location for close to 30 minutes. I came to William's to use the table space. No offer to help me move my food or drinks while my laptop was out. When I said I need the space he point to a 2 or more person sign and just walked away. Worst customer service I have ever received in a coffee shop.

Well the phone is now available easily to connect with Williams.

Absolutely...yes we love Williams...welcome back

Only stopped in for a quick breakfast. The table service was much faster than expected and the breakfast bagels were very good. The hazelnut ice coffee was prepared to specification and above average. The place is larger inside than it appeared from without. It was busy on a Sunday morning but neither overly loud or crowded. All the servers were polite and efficient. I intend to return and explore more menu items.

Charlotte D.

Terrible service, sullen and combative staff. Waited 10 minutes before being served and then treated like a felon because I had to get more change from my purse. I don't understand how an establishment can leave the customer area totally unattended, not responding to shouts of "hello, there are customers here". Two others in front of me who had obviously been waiting longer gave up and left. Then I was treated to this surly unpleasant person, who had the audacity to expect a tip! Out of business in less than a month.

Cara Eliot

The customer service at this restaurant was horrible. My friends and I were treated with disrespect by the employee bringing us our food. She chose to embarrass us in front of the entire restaurant simply because they had given us an extra drink by accident, suggesting we had taken it on purpose, when in reality we had left the drink aside to give back to them when they brought the rest of our order. However she blamed us, and hurried off before we could explain and give it back. Just a bad way to handle the situation. Williams is a great Cafe, but I won't be going back to this location.

This Williams was not up to the standards of other Williams I have been to. The bathroom was rundown and dirty and I think the entire place could use a good cleaning. It was mostly empty when I went in and there were dirty plates all over empty tables and they stayed that way through most of my time there. I was on my own and apparently that meant I had to sit at a small dirty table (there were no available small tables that weren't dirty) because all of the booths were "reserved for 2 or more people." I would completely understand this during busy times but the cafe was empty and I'm quite sure that my meal and latte cost more than the two small coffees the people sitting in a booth were drinking. I don't know if a lot of these things are because this location is near a university but I wont be back.

Sandra Bunsch

Looking for a nice breakfast place. Bacon and eggs were very good and the young lady serving me was very nice and friendly.

We stopped by for a meal after a movie. Not sure we'd come back due to the lack of kid friendly meals or morsels. I was planning on getting a coffee and pastry but saw a bunch of black little flies all over the pastry bin. I stood for a few obvious moments in front of the cash looking at the menumenu with no other people present without being acknowledged from the staff at the counter. So we left without any great need to stay. The food is upper scale meal type with a bit of cafe selection.

Sakshi

Use to like this place..but not the staff is reduced and the coffee always gets cold till it reaches my table.. plz add the staff one guy can manage the counter plus the barista job. I still like your latte better than star bucks and dont want to switch to them as they are now opened steps away.. plz maintain the originality..your customers will be back.. i love all their break fast items and a regular customer and will remain be.

Was there this morning and ordered the Bagel with egg, spinach, avocado, and bacon. I asked for the bacon to be extra crispy. What I ended up receiving was the greasiest breakfast bagel that I have ever had. The bacon was completely undercooked and dripping with grease, which made the rest of the ingredients really greasy. While the actual bagel was delicious, even the top of it was covered in grease. Service was good and friendly. I don't know if I will return..... .

Prepaid for 2 coffees for when my guest arrived. When I asked for them they seemed to forget all about it. This was within a 10 minute time period. Then because it wasn't a special coffee was put on the counter and left. I got up to get it with no explanation. Rude

Shannon Hann

Desserts and hot chocolate are very good.

Bruce Scanlan

I ordered a corned beef sandwich and was totally underwhelmed by the portion size. I've never seen less meat in a corned beef sandwich. It looked like a meal for a small child. Costco sells packets of Montreal smoked meat with twice as much meat for $3.00.

Jack Kerr

Great experience...the surprised birthday song and candle lit strawberry was awesome along with my ice cream order.

Came here because Tim Hortons was busy and this place wasn't... Now I know why! We decided to change it up for a different experience, didn't expect the service to be so bad and prices so high for a regular coffee I could or should have just gone to Tim's for. NEVER AGAIN!

Susana Aracely

I ordered the corn beef sandwich. I was very disappointed with the quality of the corn beef. It was very dry and gummy. For the price you pay, it's not worth it ($11). Its a small portion. It comes with a side of coleslaw but they had ran out and they gave me some arugula with oil. Service was slow.

Staff are always friendly even when busy. The food is great. Try the salmon dish!

We went to this location in our lunch from work. We ordered our food and got served with a bunch of mistakes. My quesadilla was supposed to have chicken in and and didn't, my friends wrap had rotten lettuce in it and when we told the waiter …

Pierrette Strudwick

Very busy during lunch time and service was excellent

It's a great place to meet up but staff need to be more professional.

Most stuff is pretty good. A little pricy but good

The manager of this specific location discriminates those who appear below middle class. Seen it many times. I used to go every morning to buy a coffee and donut and seems like she forgot I was a regular and denied me access to the washroom at a time when you're away from home there are very few places to go. She told me to buy a cookie. She can place that cookie where the sun don't shine.

I was so excited to see it was open even during these times! Its safe and clean with plastic dividers between each table! Even while just drinking my coffee and studying at their tables I saw staff constantly wiping down tables even if they were clean! Such a great place especially in these unprecedented times!

Great coffee with great service!

Great place to catch up with friends over a hot Earl Grey latte.

Delicious food and drinks every time. Very clean and friendly staff. A little on the pricey side but nice once in a while. I like how there is table service as well and a wide variety on the menu

Bought multiple things, both food and drinks (spent over $30) was sitting and studying quitely with a friend, the owner comes over and tells us we need to leave because we have been here too long. Claiming the establishment is a "restaurant", It's not a restaurant, it's a cafe, says so in your store title "Williams Fresh Cafe", infact, there were other students sitting in the cafe longer than us. If I keep buying stuff and don't bother anyone, what is the issue? I'll put it this way, definitely not going back and I wouldn't recommend this Williams to anyone until the ownership changes. After reading some reviews below, I know I am not the only one who has had this experience.

Disappointed food not fresh.

Good service. Coffee was also well brewed. A cozy and busy location. Many University of Guelph students. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Service is 50/50 at this location... often the chicken is questionable and pink/cold. Salads on the other hand are pretty great!

Everything was good but seemed to take longer than it should.

Sells you coffee before they tell you thier closing early for no apparent reason. This has happened on 2 other ocassions. Drove out here the other day and it was closed but the sign said open. Will not return

New winter hours are till 8pm during the week. Arrived at 7:30 and the place was fairly busy. Ordered a coffee to stay only to be told we are closing at 8 after I say down. What kind of business has that kind of crowd on a weeknight and tells everybody they're closing and to leave? Won't be going back there again during the week

Great food and drinks that are usually worth the price. Morning line-ups are long but it goes by quickly.

I enjoyed coming to this coffee shop everyday and now there's a young guy who works here who needs to work on his customer service skills. Never listens to my order and gets it wrong then tells me I never ordered that and has a very rude tone in his voice.

David Stonehall

This place is really cute. We like the menu options, which seem healthy and freshly prepared. Love the coffee. The ham & cheese quiche and French onion soup are delicious choices. I like that you just pay at the counter and get a table number - makes for quick service, and they bring the food to you. Nice little sit-down place, less franchise-y than Sunset Grill or Eggsmart.

Had bought a drink and was studying. Owner came up and told me that I couldn't stay to study. This is a coffee shop across from a university, this is what these kind of coffee shops are supposed to thrive on. I come here often, and spend money while studying. Telling your customers to leave is a great way to have them not want to come back

Dianne Morrison

Great place to eat.

David Saraiva

I ate here about 4 years ago and it was good. I tried it again today and was disappointed. I had their Turkey club special, only they didn't have any Turkey yet advertised as their special. It was to come with a side of potato wedges, but they didnt have potatoes. Attached to the cafe, is a grocery store.

Good food. Good selection. Quick service. Reasonable prices. I was more than pleasantly surprised to stumble on this restaurant slash coffee chain. I have been to dozens of coffee joints and I really enjoyed the overall experience. Great place.

For some reason it’s never open at 7:30 anymore during the week when I come before work. Unless the hours have changed but online still says 7:30

We walked in as a group of 5 and we're waiting for 3 more. The manager comes and yells at us asking us who we're waiting for. The place was dirty and the service was a zero so we walked out. Save your time and money and don't waste your time at this rat infested hole. Hire a better manager.

Geoffrey Henderson

The staff was very nice and the service was great. It was a nice atmosphere to relax and have a conversation

Lori Gillard

Great service but every time we come we get told they are closing early. If the website says 830 why do u ask people to leave at 730 with no reason

I enjoy the atmosphere of Williams but their washrooms are disgusting. Toilets were so dirty-there was poop on the floor in one washroom and smears in the toilet in the other. I don't understand how the front of the restaurant can look great and the bathrooms be so gross. I am not planning on going back.

Muhammad Yousaf

Nice place, lots of sitting, right beside city hall

Great sandwich, salads and coffee selection. Did not like the brownie I was served. Tasted more like chocolate cake. Brownies are supposed to be dense. I wasn't impressed with their breakfast either. My daughter loves their ceasar salad

Ashley Bott

Fred McLeod

Rotating digital menus only allow you to see menu items for a brief moment before it changes. After struggling to make an order, staff wouldn't allow us to use the washroom. Blamed it on covid even though other downtown businesses have washrooms open. We changed our minds and just left without getting anything. I'd way rather Starbucks or some of the local places for coffee anyway.

Jon P

Great coffee. Checking in with COVID passports was easy and well organized. Very respectful and felt safe.

Jared Wootten

Coffee is pretty good

I was studying at William's with a Starbucks drink and the owner came up to me and told me "I don't want to see that drink here". I then explained that I usually purchase food while I'm studying at William's despite my drink from Starbucks and he still told me to quickly finish my drink and get rid of the container. This is not a good way to make business as customers look to William's as a safe place to study. Therefore I will not be going to this location in the future and therefore will not be purchasing the food here either. Terrible experience!

The reason it's packed is that there are very few options anywhere nearby. The food is mediocre and staff seem unable to serve coffee. On two separate occasions I ordered an espresso. The first espresso was mediocre, but served in an enormous soup bowl. The second time, as I was ordering, the cashier asked if what I actually wanted was an americano, and I insisted that I wanted an espresso. When I was finally served, of course the waitress brought (what I assume was) an americano. If you can't serve espresso, that's fine - don't put it on the menu.

Era Ferizi

I love it.

Breanna K

Ordered a plain bagel toasted with bacon and cream cheese. Bagel was not toasted, and the bacon was NOT cooked. There was no colour to the bagel and zero crispness to the bacon. Big let down first thing . Won't be back for breakfast...

Courtney Miller

Honestly way over priced for what you get. The food is not bad, but to get a small latte and a sandwich I spent 16 dollars. Seems too steep for me!

I have not been to this location in a while, I planned to go there today (Monday) at 8pm to meet some friends but it was closed. I double checked Google maps and it said it was open until 10pm, I am not sure if the hours on Google maps is inaccurate or if it was a glitch but it was quite frustrating getting there and finding out it’s closed.

Alessandra Compton

A little disappointed- they served my tea in a mug and brought me my food in a to go container. Not sure if it's because they were hoping I wouldn't notice until I got home, but they gave me barely any potatoes- what they did give was already cold. They did not slice the chicken on my Turkey sandwich, so they were essentially halved chicken breasts which were challenging to bite.

Good food but the music is way too loud to really sit inside, whether it’s with friends or studying, trying to have a conversation is trying to talk over the music to be heard.

As it says in it's name "fresh". Will definitely go back soon.

Worst place to have food atleast the breakfast. Ordered classic breakfast and couple of panini sandwiches for my daughter and wife. Absolute disaster. Only item which looked was eggs cooked in microwave. Toast was like melba toast so hard. Sausage was completely dry and bacon crispy to the extent I could not pick up as it would crumble. Panini sandwiches by the looks on my daughter and wife said everything that it was a bad choice of place to eat. If you are for free wifi and sugary drinks they serve then this is your place. I will never go back, same for my wife and daughter.

This is an extremely well managed place with great food and drinks. Christy does a fantastic job running it, not an easy task with it being right downtown and some of the "characters " to deal with that come in there. Barry in the back is really nice as well, makes great food and always serves it with a big smile! Cheers!!

Milenko Mihic

Good food but high prices. 2 coffee & 2 desserts were $27. We ate dinner for less that night at another restaurant than coffee and dessert cost us

Terrible, slow service. Run down bathrooms, ancient cracked vinyl on the banquets.

Maja Vandenberg

Horrible customer service. Waited 5 minutes to get served at the til to order while 3 people stood around. Nobody even said sorry for the delay or we will be with you in a second. Didnt even ask if we wanted our brownie warmed up. Waited 15 minutes to get a hot chocolate - didn't even take our sign away. Employees need retraining.

Matt Robertson

T. Williams

Food is good, prices are ok. Biggest problem is that wifi is spotty at best. Lots of business happens in there and most of those clients go to William's for the coffee AND the wifi. Fix your wifi please!

steven Sheblak

Staff was friendly but the service was lacking. The utensils that we had to grab ourselves were all dirty and we had to clean them ourselves. The table we sat at was cleaned poorly and looked like they used dirty water and smeared things on the table.

The owner will sometimes have on a religious radio station, so you are being preached to while you enjoy your coffee and/or food! Won't be staying to dine in if he is there with that being played on the radio.

Should implement good packages for the food delivery services like Uber or Skip the Dishes. Packages are carelessly done...

Over the past few months, Kulwinder, the owner of this lovely coffee shop allowed me to display my artwork. I received wonderful feedback and cannot thank him enough for the opportunity. The service is always great and the food fresh along with prompt service. As a local artist, I cannot thank him enough for the opportunity!
