Windsor Coffee

We are big fans of Windsor coffee. Coffee is tasty, pastries are fresh (oh man the cookies) and it is cozy. What we love the most are the baristas though - couldn't be more friendly (also to kids!) and professional. Always walking out the store with good coffee and a smile! Thank you Windsor coffee please stay in our neighborhood forever!

I went several years ago and had my first matcha latte here. It was so good! This weekend, I randomly stopped by and we had a deliciously perfect hot dark chocolate, a subtlety balanced lavender latte, and yummy not-too-sweet apricot cookies. Everything was reasonably priced. If you prefer tasty, high-quality snacks and beverages rather than overly sweet, artificial flavors, then this is a spot for you too. The server behind the counter was a sincere delight - friendly & warm, which made for a wonderful experience. Will def add this coffee shop to my regular rotation of neighborhood destinations.

Delicious pastries, many (all?) from the first rate Colson bakery. Yummy coffee, too. Service is friendly and welcoming. It can sometimes be crowded

This is my go to coffee shop, and it's amazing! The baristas are very nice, the coffee is very good and the cup is a reasonable size, and the pastries are great. (The peanut butter cup cookie is one of the best things there) The prices are fairly reasonable, and the pastries are not just the same old thing, there's a good variety. A small location, but the atmosphere and playlist are nice. Points for the public bathroom as well! Total recommend!

You guys are absolutely lovely! Thank you so very much for offering vegan muffins, as well as a consistently friendly and welcoming face each time I’m in. I have just one humble request, though, if mgmt would be so kind as to take it into consideration… 😇 To prepare an iced matcha latte: Please, please, *please*… stop making hot matcha lattes that you then simply add ice to. This is not the correct way to make an iced matcha latte. The current method Windsor is doing is diluting the latte with water, because the heat makes the ice melt very, very quickly. I didn’t know if this feedback would make its way to mgmt if I shared it with one of the baristas alone, hence the review. Again, I do hope you’ll consider. In the meantime, I look forward to trying a hot matcha latte now that the chilly season has commenced! *edit: Thank you so much for the response!

I've been coming here for years. The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is great. They have some great pastries; I will occasionally get a donut or cookie when I come in and I've never been disappointed. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

The cookie selection is out of this world. The service is imPECCABLE. They had extreme resilience despite technical difficulties. Would go again, will go again. I love Windsor cafe like a MOTHER!!!

I came here looking for some coffee after a walk in Prospect Park. The coffee was great, and the service was friendly. It was raining heavily, and I was grateful to be in this cozy, warm café.

The pastry is delicious and the coffee (unlike many others picked randomly) is pretty good. Also the person in the bar is super nice

Cute little cafe around the area. Cappuccino was good but a little bit too bitter for me. I also had a cookie by the baker around the neighborhood, it was a classic. Friendly place to work and I appreciate the space.

Cute coffee shop a block from the park. Good amount of outlets to do work if you need to. They have a few selections of scones, muffins, bagels, and hot oatmeal which is a plus. Not a fan of Pacifica Oat Milk, but their regular latte is good and their bagels are soft.

I just stopped by today for a large Iced Americano. This place is small and cute, but needs a little touch up work. The prices are a bit steep, and there isn't much of a price gap between the small and large. Overall, my iced coffee was very good and the barista was very friendly so I will stop by again in the future.

Service and hospitality were phenomenal. The girl behind the counter with the rainbow headband was the kindest! Good hospitality is very rare in NYC. Least I could do was a leave a review. Keep it going! Thanks for making my stop a good one while I was waiting for my car to get fixed :) cheers!

I’m gonna give some constructive criticism on this location. Those three stars go for the design of the coffee shop and the sense of coziness. As per the coffee and presentation, I have zero stars to give. As inflation is attacking all of us, I have built a financial tolerance that most cappuccinos will come to a total of $6 minimum. However if I’m paying $6-7 for a coffee (with tip) in my local neighborhood, I’d APPRECIATE a design, a flower a heart or some artwork from a barista at least. In addition coffee is mostly served in to go cups unless asked and they give you a mug……… I’m pro environment and recycling, but I would also love to feel luxurious drinking my $7 coffee in cute glassware rather than (no offense to anyone) a bum in paper cups. This place is great to get some laptop work in and or reading time even if it can get noisy during school hours. In the mean time I think I’ll be traveling to Manhattan where coffee is presented better, tastes better, (forgot to mention the last few times it has been burnt)so I can get my moneys worth. In response to reply: $5 cappuccino + $1 oat milk, (I don’t drink dairy) + $1 for staff = $7. Over the year the cappuccino’s have accumulated and I certainly don’t need to give Karen energy seeing how busy it gets. Not to mention I’m typically in a rush when I buy coffees. Best.

The coffee here is the best option in the neighborhood and the staff that have been there for a while are very nice and do a great job. However, they recently hired someone new and he has messed up every single order over multiple visits. One time, he made the wrong drink twice and I just gave up and left with it and threw it away. And his service is terrible - he gives the Gen Z stare. It makes me want to ask for his schedule so I can plan visits around it.
