45 Best Cafes near Windsor

“The Mater Jam sandwich is incredible! I've only been here twice, but both times, everything was superb. Both the chai and matcha are wondeful (no pre-packaged syrups like here!) Atmosphere is relaxing and laid-back. A great addition to Windsor!“

“Very impressed! Food was amazing! Great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.“

“Had dinner at Gather 55 last night and it was the most pleasant dining experience and best food I’ve had in months! Crystal’s service was excellent! She is a master at her craft! Not only was the experience worth every penny, the mission and purpose of Gather 55 is wonderful! I wish we had one in TN!“

“We had our wedding at The Pond House Café and it was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Our guests loved the food, the décor, the music, and the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff went above and beyond—Charlene, Diana, and Alissa took care of us with so much care and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and felt special. We’re so thankful for the whole team. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future celebrations! 1000000/10 experience!!“

“I absolutely love this place and can’t recommend it enough! I’m a regular and have tried nearly everything on the menu. Everything has been delicious, but the Peanut Butter & Jelly smoothie is still my favorite—it’s seriously amazing!

Stacy makes this locally family-owned business so special with her care, personality, and pride. I love supporting places that bring such a welcoming, hometown feel to the community.

A special shout-out to Stacy’s son, Christopher, whom I affectionately call the “Smoothie Genius.” He definitely knows his way around a smoothie and always brings great energy. He’s also one of my clients, and his hair naturally always looks amazing! 😂✂

If you’re looking for delicious smoothies, friendly people, and a wonderful local business to support, definitely stop by. You won’t regret it!“

“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. The cafe is welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It may be a small space, but it delivers big on quality and experience. This place is definitely a hidden gem in East Hartford.“

“a Nurse at Uconn health Nicu recommended here. service and food is out of this world definitely will be back.“

“Honestly a GEM of a restaurant and a place that I will return going as long as they are open. Food was superb and a great menu , it will be tough for parking I think because it is in downtown Hartford. But hell I dont care because the food is that good, so the plan is to order food to eat inside and order to take out for next day, great job guys, coming back soon!!!!“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“I went in this morning for a pound of medium roast decaf and a quick espresso. They have an excellent interior that was nice to relax in for a few minutes before rushing off. The staff member was also super friendly. Great neighborhood too. They were carrying a limited edition run of a anaerobic process light roast from Rwanda, so I bought a bag out of curiosity. This is currently the best coffee I have ever brewed. It tastes sweet and like apples! I am really glad that they were carrying this today!“

“I’m literally only giving it 5 stars because the old owner Harvey was a good guy and very business savvy. He knew my name and what I always wanted. And he connected with his customers. And that kept a HUGE clientele.

The new owners don’t know my name and are unfriendly. They are not exactly cheap and I still support. It’s a nice spot in town. Residents in West Hartford frequent there. It would be nice for them to be friendly, adaptable, relatable, down to earth and get to know their regulars who support them.

I personally will try to continue to support.

Let’s hope it’s only up from here! (Please get to know your customers!)“

“I love DoNo! It's the best part of my day when I find time to take a walk or drive over and get my daily latte, espresso, or tea. They also just upped their game with an awesome sandwich menu!!“

“Such a great place for so many things. Breakfast, lunch dates, coffee, family date night, kids art class, date night, birthday parties, etc. The food is delicious and the staff are always helpful, polite, and professional. Highly recommend.“

“Usually don’t post reviews right away but this sandwich made me. Held me at gun point and told me to give this cafe a 5 star rating because I was enjoying it so much. Literally best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had, not a breakfast person but I am now“

“First timer here. The atmosphere was awesome. Sat at the bar and watched motoGP. I ordered the brisket egg rolls and they FAR exceeded my expectations. Crispy crunch, sweet, salty, umami. It hit every taste bud on my tongue. My husband got the brisket grilled cheese and it was out of this world good. Perfectly balanced. Not too much bbq sauce, right amount of cheese and a nice crisp bread. The tater tots were perfectly fried and salted. They were so good we didn't even need ketchup. We will for sure be back.“

“Love stopping in when in town for breakfast, lunch or snack. Owners and Staff are wonderful! Scott Z eXp realty CT/MA“

“I get my coffee here all the time! I am at the buckland hills mall just about everyday for my store and getting a coffee from here is my favorite part of the day! I love visiting with the owner when she's there. She is so nice and lovely to talk to. The coffee is exceptional. She has tons of different varieties as well.“

“Was there last night. The ribs and pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing! Good beers and the bartender was attentive and charming!“

“Really good, quick food. Got oxtail curry , vegetarian tofu type of dish (That had a little bit of spice) , cabbage (so yummy!), and rice and peas. The guy that helped me was very nice. (In case you’re looking , they don’t have roti. Not many places do ☹️). And reasonably priced. Would definitely go back.“

“I'm new to Hartford Connecticut I've lived here less than a year. I also don't really drink ever. Lately I've wanted to be social so I check this place out. The people I've met here for the most part are really great people easy to talk to and it's a laid-back place. I really like it here I think you might too. 😁“

“Excelente es mi lugar favorito para comer. Loco que hagan uno en PR.“

“1. Very spacious comparing to other Panera bread nearby. 2. The staff members are very friendly in this store. I told my wife: I have a better mood because of going to that location. 3. Got a free sample of cookies. 4. Forgot my backpack and they kept it safe until we returned (and they were closing the store for that day). They saved my day and the day tomorrow! 5. Our friends’ kids like this place too!“

“relaxed but European vibe, more variations of espresso drinks than I've encountered in the area. A place you want to sit and stay a while. Today, awesome Andorran music playing.“

“Great bagels but my local big y never puts them out with the other bread , they hide them in the freezer, I have to ask the bakery person to get some for me , very odd can’t see how they are going to make a sale that way , Danielson ct big y“

“Great COSTOMER service and the staff was friendly“

“The service is what you would expect at any fast food restaurant, nothing exceptional. I ordered the greek chicken salad. Unfortunately, there was more greens than chicken for the price, they could add more chicken to it, seeing that it is a chicken salad after all.“

“Jersey girl here that stumbled upon this place on my way into Connecticut for my son’s football game yesterday. I think I had one of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life- and I’m certain it was the best jalapeño cheddar bagel of my life. What a gem this find was, too bad I don’t live closer. The customer service was impeccable and the owner or manager (I think) was very gracious to this traveling Jersey girl with the weekend rules! Not to mention, very easy on the eyes 😉 lol. I feel so many people are ready to rush to complain about things at places they don’t like so I felt the need to make a comment and compliment on something that was great! 😊 Great place- definitely worth the wait“

“Pretty decent! Like a regular restaurant. Love how they bring mint chocolate sticks everyone has to love them. My daughter says the kids chicken tenders are amazing! Especially the ranch. The atmosphere is okay nothing fancy. We had Nyelle P for our waitress very kind good experience!“

“bring back the lobster roll.“

“Had an incredible visit today. Not only is the chocolate amazing, but I had a particular person, Hannah, that was so welcoming, cheerful, and provided great service! She went above and beyond to take care of us today. Thanks Munsons for hiring well!“

“Amazing coffee and phenomenal food.“

“This location is always very busy but it’s clean staff is friendly and they don’t make you wait a long time for your order they accommodate you if you have allergies and offer substitute s I love their soups and sandwiches“
