I met a friend for lunch. We both had the roasted red pepper soup, which was delicious. I enjoyed the crostini the soup came with. The restaurant was busy, but guests were well spaced out so my friend and I could hear each other. This is a good place to grab a quick bite and visit a friend.

Had a great experience at William Fresh Cafe. Everything we ordered was delicious: Caesar salad with chicken, burrito bowl, quesadilla, waffles with cinnamon, whipped and ice cream, waffles with berries and banana, and iced matcha — not a single miss.
The portions are huge, generous to the point where you actually feel you’re getting great value for your money. The food is fresh, well-prepared, and very satisfying.
Service really stands out as well. The young...

Been coming to this location for years, and the service has significantly improved over the last year under new ownership. IMO, Williams is the best coffee option in town - always has been. For breakfast, the cheesy egg & bacon wrap is fantastic. Their lunch menu (an occasional lunch stop for my wife and me) really differentiates itself from other coffee chains - the quality never disappoints. If you haven't tried it, it's worth stopping in!
