A Fresh New Start at Williams Café – A Must-Visit in Burlington! Williams Café in Burlington has undergone an incredible transformation under its new ownership! The moment you step in, you can feel the difference—everything from the warm atmosphere to the exceptional service reflects a renewed energy and commitment to excellence. The menu has all the classics you’d expect, but the quality has gone up a notch! Their coffee is absolutely fantastic, and you can taste the freshness in every sip. I especially loved their [specific drink/meal, e.g., “caramel latte” or “breakfast wrap”]—it was perfectly made and served with care. Their revamped selection of baked goods and meals is also worth exploring; everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly stands out is the staff. The new owners have done an amazing job of fostering a welcoming environment. The team is friendly, efficient, and genuinely interested in making sure you have a great experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee, meeting with friends, or looking for a cozy spot to work, Williams Café has become the place to be in Burlington. The new owners have truly turned this location into a gem, and I can’t wait to see it thrive. Highly recommend checking it out—you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you Shefali and Prince, your Cafe is my favourite coffee and savoury foods place to visit with my family. I visited last Monday with my relatives visiting from Germany because I wanted them to experience great hospitality, memorable crème brûlée cake, the famous signature coffee, and the casual friendly atmosphere. I am very grateful for Nefali and her staff for the friendly approach and for truly serving us happiness. I get very happy to have chosen Williams Fresh Cafe to show my relatives a sample of great Canadian hospitality and tasty treats. We will be coming back for more. Thanks. Alex

My husband & I decided to go for a coffee & tea with desserts at Williams Brant St last week. We met the new Managers Shefali & husband Prince and automatically felt joy & happiness. No stress, coffee order just perfect & yummy desserts. It was so nice just getting a coffee & getting it right. The new managers made our visit very enjoyable. We will definitely be back.💖

Reason I am giving a 5 star is for overall experience When you walk in your greeted by friendly staff I love the choices of fresh desserts I also notice the service is quick which is nice. The owner makes sure your visit is a pleasant one. I also like the music in background, not too loud, more calming. I like the seating especially if your meeting friends, theres usually tables open.

Ordered rice bowl from Uber & did not receive what I ordered , neither Uber or Williams would like to take accountability for the mistake. Waste of money. Do not order from here as they will not fulfill your order or refund you for the mistake.

November 21, 2024

Ordered Herbal tea, lemon , it was a strong black tea with no lemon flavour at all. Couldn t drink it. Was told that the lemon tea is black tea. My friend ordered decafe latte, it was old decaf, very muddy, adding milk did not help. First and last time I will come here. Very disappointed.

Would not give such feedback usually but its really HORRIBLE !!!!! OK its downhill has started... Used to be a good spot...but the new staff is horrible. We went here for lunch...firstly the order was not taken completely...secondly the coffee came even before the food although we told them to hold it until the food is done. We asked to take it back but they sent it back (coffee was horrible anyways as well). Would not recommend this until the staff is changed and who knows what is customer service.

Nice atmosphere, decent service, But Terriblemisu Cake Went to the Williams Fresh Cafe for the first time to have coffee and dessert with a friend. At the counter, I saw a row of cakes, and the Tiramisu cake stood out as Tiramisu is one of my favourite desserts. Once I got the cake, the dark powder topping and little ladyfinger biscuit were the only thing this cake had in common. I took two small bites and found it was dry and bland - not at all what I expected, given what I paid for it. I brought this to the attention of staff and was told they could replace it with another similar piece of Tiramisu cake or something I didnt want but would have to pay for. That was the best they could do as well as inform their bakery. I believe that if you sell any food, you should stand behind it and ensure it is top quality. Because Williams Fresh (would use that term sparingly) Cafe did not they get 2stars.

Being retired and like to talk I have daily group sessions with friends discussing world affairs. We all find Williams Fresh Cafe Brant St Burlington an excellent gathering spot . Amazing service and food. Unbeatable friendly staff and ownership resulting a pleasurable experience on every visit.

I love this Cafe, the people, the food. The 2 stars is very temporary. I was there yesterday and was shocked by how dirty the glass dividers and the back of the booths are. You can see the dust from a distance. I was in a hurry, otherwise would have told someone on my way out. I will definitely change the review later.

I love this place!! Great food, good service. I live in Mississauga, but many times I make the drive specifically to eat here. My only complaint is that they close at 7pm, so you gotta arrive 6ish tops, in order to have proper service. I would come more often if they stayed open longer.

We went to Williams by chance on 1st Aug 2024 looking for a place to relax and have some breakfast. At the end we came out with a Wow What a great place it was. The food was excellent and the lady in charge was so nice and helpful. We had travelled there from Qatar to see our son and she took time off from the work and started explaining how Hamilton and the surrounding areas are and what places to visit and see. Her husband too was seated close by and was very helpful too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting that part of the world or driving through for a short break. Great place and Willams are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. Best regards Farhan

I think the head waitress should get fired. She was also rude and complained about me using coupons off the app. I spent $10 on a sandwich and don t understand why she was treating me so hostile (the coupon was for a small free coffee). Even though the food was amazing the other Williams are also really good. Her sour attitude made me not want to come back to the establishment. Even though the other workers were just amazing making sure I was satisfied with my order if she didn t like something I did she would approach me and attempt to argue. I was going to order more but felt extremey unwelcome so I opted to leave instead of complaining.

Staff are great except for the manager. We didnt know that london fog and chai lattes are now made with a sweet sugar syrup instead of tea. We couldnt drink it and when we told the manager she said thats the way it is and just leave it on your table. End of story. !

Sitting in williams today I was served by a young guy who seemed new. He was doing a great job being attentive to his customers. Later on he was talking to a table of ladies who appeared to be enjoying his company for what appeared to be about 1 minute. All of a sudden this older lady who seems like the boss comes out and interrupted him while he was talking to his customers and says Corey, the bell just rang (the order up bell) in one hell of a rude tone, as such he was forced to say goodbye and sorry to these ladies and run the food. There was alot of people already standing around. Ive been in the service industry a long time and this is absolutely terrible management skills. If was was screwing around thats one thing but to be interrupted when connecting with customers is horrible. I hope this place sees new management soon and I feel sorry for people having to work with these types of people. (Update) someone made a small error which forced the server to make a small detour when delivering food. Apparently it was a mixed up order number. The old lady acted like it was the end of the world. you guys need to pay attention and got angry with them. The food made it to the right table and everything was fine. Lady if you are reading this you need to be a little more understanding with these kids. You should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.

Old white lady was incredibly rude. All the other servers were amazing but her. This is the second time I ve come here and she s been extremely rude.

March 21, 2024

TLDR: rough service asking for a remade drink. Would suggest anyone with anxiety tries somewhere else Had a terrible experience this week! Made a pickup order for a couple coffees, one a black iced americano that tasted like the espresso had burned or the machine needed cleaning. I went back in to explain and the employee (white woman with white/silver hair) saw me coming in holding the drink and seemed confused and annoyed. I explained the situation and she looked at me like I was an idiot and said There s no sugar in it. I agreed and she asked so what could have burned? I tried suggesting that the espresso may have burned and she told me they ve been making the coffee all day. I think I had a stunned and confused look because she then said If you want me to make you a new one I can but it ll be the same and you can taste it and tell me if it s different I felt entirely embarrassed. I said ok and she scoffed and went to make another drink. It took maybe a minute. She placed it down and said Try that, I did nothing different It tasted slightly better, so I said that and she kind of threw her arms up and was like well I don t know . I thanked her and told her to have a nice day then left.

The rudest service I ve ever received. Ordered an unsweetened matcha and after the first sip I had to ask for it to be remade as I could tell it had sugar. The young ladies making the drinks were very sweet and realized the matcha powder was already made with sugar and so I asked if I could change my drink instead. The girls seemed to have no problem but the old woman with white hair had the WORST attitude ever, going on about how ridiculous it was to ask for a matcha unsweetened and acted as if changing the drink was a big deal even though I had already paid. No fault to the young ladies but the old one should not be in hospitality! If someone is diabetic and can t have a drink with sugar they shouldn t have to hear her complain about it to other coworkers infront of them. Feel bad for any customers or employees they have to deal with her kind of attitude

As a visible minority, it was already uncomfortable being the only one there, but I also got spoken down to and humiliated in front of my partner by 2 white women workers because I pointed out that they got my drink wrong.

Staff was nice, but they say on the menu vegan options available, but the woman helping us at cash didnt seem to know anything about it. It was disappointing since it says there are options when there doesnt seem to be any. I was with a group of friends, so it was a bit awkward just getting black coffee and no food. I hoped for one option, a muffin, something. Advertisement was misleading. Not the place to go for those looking for vegan food/options with friends.

December 21, 2023

They served me raw pastry. I was super hungry so I proceeded to eating most of it. The center piece was inedible so I finally told a server and she told the manager. They did nothing to make it right. Their excuse was that I have ate most of it and I should have told them before eating it. Yes! I should not have ate it because now my stomach is churning.

It wasnt bad, however we walked by 4 dirty tables with peoples dishes laying around on them still, until we found a spot to sit. I ordered a large hot beverage in a to-go cup, but they charged and served me a for here mug, medium size...weird

Walked in here with my family. The cashier was sitting on a table with friends socializing. We were looking through the dessert area which had 3 desserts left. The cashier came to us and rather than greeting continued onto attending her personal phone. Disappointed we headed to Demitris next door. As we walked out of the place the cashiers friends sarcastically said have a nice day. Hands down the worst experience and a place run by a bunch of kids If the owners care to check this happened at approximately 3.40pm on Saturday March 5

Always inconsistent. The food is tasty but is never the same in terms of quantity and presentation. Just got home and half our order was wrong. Our fault for not checking but the front end staff are always so nice and seem to have it together we just trusted they had it right. The kitchen on the other hand is the exact opposite. The managers need to pay closer attention to the product being delivered. Not impressed.

The staff here are very friendly and polite and the coffee/ food is always of good quality. The only negative thing I have to say is that the overall appearance of the floors is untidy and dirty, even early in the day! Its obvious that they seldom get cleaned!! Washrooms were untidy with garbage cans overflowing and toilet paper all over the floor.

Got the mango chicken rice box and was very happy with it! Soup was also excellent. Felt satisfied the food met the price and you can tell the women who work here take pride in the food and establishment. Proudly Canadian and the fact that everything was edible, recyclable or compatible is a big plus for me. Thank you!

Stopped by for a quick coffee and decided to grab a bite to eat. The chicken pesto sandwich was so delicious and all made fresh. We also had a chocolate twist pastry that was absolutely delicious. The coffee is great as usual... the staff was so friendly, happy and so pleasant. We did not realize that they were closing and the owner herself came to us and said please stay even though we are closing. :)

I dont like complaining, nor do I ever give bad reviews due to fact it may just be an off day... However the older male Owners attitude towards my asking why is it that I have to pay more money just for hot water added to a 1 tea bag cup of tea was downright -dismissive -deplorable -and disrespectful to the point where even when I tried to get an explanation for his attitude, he maintained a staunch air of disrespect, turned his back on me, & went back about his business. Ive actually been going there for years (through, numerous different owners), and never had an issue or problem - but this was enough for Me, NEVER to go back, and also let ALL in my extensive circle exactly what type of disgusting temperament & attitude youll receive if a question to difficult to answer, is asked.

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 couldnt wait to leave. I know its a cafe, but there was no warmth. The decor was very generic and almost hostile. Its not a place I would like to being my friends for an afternoon out, which is a shame, because the food is really good. Im 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

December 21, 2021

If you order iced coffee beware it comes insanely sweet, you have to specify you dont 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 arent doing anything about it. Mistakes happen but bad management and no customer service isnt a way to ensure you have returning customers.

It was some hot day and my queen had a hankering for something cold to drink...well as we know Williams from many different visits... There were milkshakes just yearning to be down our seniors throats....we opened up throats to absolutely delicious drinks.... beautiful experience...oh yes there is a new improved ordering system happening. Well the phone is now available easily to connect with Williams. More good news, the techie guy and several staff members loaded the system for us.. no grandbabies around and Williams family of good customer relations sure was evident.. a good time, a fine experience? Absolutely...yes we love Williams...welcome back

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.
