Our server Rebecca was amazing! Even though she was working alone on a very busy Sunday, the service never faltered once. A hard worker and lovely energy. Would come back just for her!

Exceptional service and quality cuisine. This amazing establishment has become my go-to place to have a coffee and something to eat. The breakfast sandwiches are incredible during the week, the full breakfasts on the weekend and you can never go wrong with anything on the lunch or dinner menu! Keep up the amazing work.

I absolutely love this place. Their signature cocktails are a must try. I have tried espresso martini and that was really good. I have also tried their piggy chicken sandwich and that was amazing too. The ambience, lighting, and place itself is calm and collective. The server was really great, has a welcoming face, friendly and genuine care towards customers. It’s a must try and I would go again and again

My son and I loved our lunch here a couple weeks ago, what an awesome little place and great food! Warm and friendly service from our super nice server Julia and owner Johnny! Food fantastic, gnocchi pouting is a must and the Bocconcini fried balls too. Can't go wrong with any of the Panini's/Sandwiches. The Cappucino was one of the best ive had as well. When we are back in the Windsor area again, we are going back here in a heartbeat!

This is a charming cafe with a small but pleasantly spacious patio. Although the drink menu is somewhat limited, it still offers some good options. Initially, we were put off by the food menu, which was printed on a small, unlaminated piece of paper covered with spills. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the food itself. We ordered panini sandwiches and although I can’t recall their exact names, they were juicy and delicious, truly reminiscent of the flavors of Europe.
