Williams Fresh Cafe

Although this place is great to hang out for a meeting our quick bite, it lacks any customer service. Had to wait a few minutes before being asked for my order. Unfortunately, not always consistent with the food. I’ve come quite often to this location and it’s a hit or miss with both the service and food. Guess it depends on the mood of the employees.

Dont come here for a cup of coffee unless you like the taste of warm water n cream. From a guy that makes his own cup of joe with fresh ground coffee with a frenchpress.

The pepper sauce is amazing. I always like to try hot sauces and Williams crafted a pepper sauce. Love it. And everything else on the menu.

Visited this place just to check out why people come here to study. I didn’t find the seats too comfy or the atmosphere really quiet, so definitely won’t be coming here to study. However, the order process is really quick, once I ordered and sat down wherever I wanted to with the order number. My order came shortly after we sat down. I ordered a chai latte with a grilled pesto panini which came with sweet potato fries. Was amazing and will be going back to try some desserts and other hot beverages.

It’s a go a very nice urban café feel to it. Most of the snacks are great and the same goes away for the drinks as well. I think it could use a little updating with the snack menu though. Stay away from the yogurt smoothies if possible. I ordered a peach flavoured one and couldn’t take in more than a few sips because it started tasting rather chalky; the texture didn’t agree with me.

I enjoy stopping to have a quick little treat, however I would recommend going in to enjoy as a pose to the drive thru. Products seem to be carefully chosen when seating in person. My drive thru experience was pleasant until I got home and realize the two pieces of cake I ordered tasted like fridge…
We all know who disappointing that could be. Our red velvet was simply not edible.
I do like the loyalty program but they don’t always prompt you which is a downfall as I don’t always remember.
The place itself is clean and bright, a nice place to study or meet with friends for coffee.
Beats Starbucks loud atmosphere.

Great work atmosphere. Food is Always on point. Especially the rice boxes. Pricey though

This visit was my first and last time visiting here. I came here under a friend’s suggestion for lunch. It was a place I always passed by but never had a chance to visit. My first impression of this place was that it was quite nice and well decorated. Then when I went to sit down at a table to wait for my friend it was very evident that it hadn’t been wiped down… Not off to a good start. As I was looking at the menu to decide what to get the cashier right away asked if I was ready to order. This was a bit promising.
When my friend arrived I ordered the spinach and feta quiche and a medium chai tea latte. She ordered the roasted veggie and goat cheese panini. We waited about 10 minutes for our entrées to come out. Before sitting down in a booth I had to wipe down the table myself…
Hers came out first then was quickly followed by mine. My spinach and feta quiche was not the traditional one with a pie crust. It was crustless over top arugula and a pastry base. It was pretty tasty and I think it was worth the $ 5.99. However this is where my experience goes down hill.
I ate my quiche pretty slowly considering how hungry I was and this was not due to having company with me but due to the fact that I didn’t get my chai tea latte yet. It came AFTER I was done my quiche… Not pleased about this.
After our food we decided we wanted something sweet so we got the Turtle Cheesecake. At this point I decided to time how long it would take them from when I put in my order to get my cheesecake. It took them about 10 minutes. I would understand if they were super slammed with order but it was just my cheesecake and no one else ordered prior to me. There was a guy who came in and ordered what looked like a chocolate milkshake. He also had to wipe down his table as well. He got the milkshake within 3 minutes and then that’s when the server saw my number and got my cheesecake. She did apologize for the wait however so that was nice I guess.
The Turtle Cheesecake was pretty tasty. It had caramel and pecans: D
I don’t understand when it’s not busy and there are at least 3 or 4 staff working one of them couldn’t have gone around and checked the tables to see if they needed to be wiped down.

Visited with my boyfriend early one Sunday, loved the environment. Ordered food and drinks, came very quick and the fruits were pretty fresh, the chicken quesadilla I ordered was freshly made as well. Only thing is that the price is a little up there based of the portion size. But the place is clean, neat, and the staff stays on top of keeping the tables cleared. Perfect place to multitask and do work, or just hang with friends.

Not a particular fan of their cakes and other sweets but, their milkshakes are pretty good.
With free wifi and and a spacious seating area, one can easily hang around for a couple of hours, whether you want to study or simply, read a book.

This café always has a great atmosphere. Its great if you want to get work done, but dont like complete silence. Its not too loud, and the environment is great. If you want to plug in a laptop, there are outlets on the side of the building, however the tables on the side are pretty small, good for an individual or two people only. I wish they had outlets on their booths, but its not a big deal. The food here is amazing, their sandwich’s and dessert’s are delicious. Their beverages are really great as well. I love their vanilla bean lattè, which comes in a big cup! They have free wifi, which is always a bonus !!! Overall a great place to come hang out at, or get work done, with great food.

Great atmosphere, and a good place to study. Id recommend you stick to beverages and desserts.

Good setting, selections of good coffee. Love the hot chocolate and the large cups, fantastic desserts. Never had an issue with the service till date but will admit that I’ve never once gone there to study so can’t make any comments on that.
All in all still a good place for a stop in between different from timmies!

I still love the dessert, drinks, and milkshakes at William’s, but after an encounter with the owner Anna, I doubt I will visit this establishment again.
If you have a lap top or book, do not bother going here. You’ll be treated deplorably.
There is a rule that if you «have a book, you are studying» and must relocate to the small, outer tables which wasn’t a problem with me.
Anna’s delivery and attitude of these instructions were what completely offended me. I don’t understand how as an owner of a business, you would treat your customers so rudely.
I was so offput by the experience, I have not returned since.
This was on Sunday, December 1, 2013.

I like the Chai Latte. I think I had the tuna melt sandwich or something like that it was okay. I should of got dessert after but I didn’t lol. Next time.

Met up with a friend Saturday night in Brampton.
Williams is actually a nice place, a cute café that almost reminds you of Coras but on a more cozy scale with its ambience.
I had their latte in a huge mug, and it was delighful. Along with that was their cookies, and for those who know me im a huge cookie monster.
Overall this place is clean, homey, and the staff are friendly. You could spend hours here if you’re with the right company.
⁴⁄₅ is my take on this place.

4.75 stars.
This is our stop prior to taking off from Pearson, always and it never disappoints.
Always fresh and tasty. Need I say more?
Ok, I’ll give that it’s a bit pricey if you compare it to your local Timmies but that would be an unfair comparison.
Try the blt and sweet potato fries. Itz nize!!!

I come to Wills Pub to recover after a long day of craziness. I like how this place closes at 2am and has free wifi! I see that many people just grab a hot beverage and kick it back with a laptop or a newspaper. They usually have a black board filled with todays specials and I end up ordering everything. I like grabbing a mocha latté with a grilled chicken rice box (corn, avacado, rice, black beans and tomato) with a special yogurt sauce. If I’m not in the mood for that, I grab their artisan soups which are tomato or butternut squash, along with three cheese tomato & herbs panini or the chipotle turkey club panini. If I want something light and sweet to accompany my mocha latté, I get the strawberry crêpe… its delicious! Great café near me and will be coming back to experiment through other menu items ;)

My search for some free wifi up here in Brampton lead me here over the closest Starbucks, and it was my first time at a Williams in over 4 years I believe and it’s exactly as I remembered. I guess I was hoping too much to expect it to be changed much. ’
I was very disappointed the latte and light snack I had, my latte was just better than one I could have got at a place like a bus terminal, just foam on top of a bland coffee. I’m hoping that this was me being unlucky and that on average they serve better drinks. Prices are decent and comparable to most coffee shops around, I do give them props for staying open till late, having ample comfy seating space and providing free wifi, which is why this is a 3 star review and not a 2 star.
The crowd here was a mix and match of all kinds of people, while it’s not a place I would come to get work done there were still students with heavy binders and laptops getting work done, friends catching up, some families and people treating it as a quick coffee stop. Overall I would say a medium noise level, but it’s large enough you could find yourself a quieter spot. I believe they do have a drive through as well in full suburban fashion.
Staff seem very efficient in clearing out tables and making sure customers are well taken care of and were friendly behind the counter. Overall if I were to do some catching up with a friend around this area, Williams would be high up on my list as it is more comfortable for longer stays than a Starbucks.

This used to be my local dessert/​coffee stop. Great lattes, cappuccinos, mochaccinos and desserts. My usual was the Vanilla bean latte — not too sweet, and large cup!
Williams is a great place to meet up with friends or just to hang out with your significant other. This location gets fairly busy, although you can usually find a spot — just not a booth or near an electrical outlet. It is popular amongst students and they can sit there for hours. It is one of the better cafes, and although I love Tims, its a better ambiance and more relaxed and comfortable environment. The noise level can get a loud, but it suits the café.
They have a drive through! I can not begin to count how many times I got takeout for their Strawberry Shortcake’s! Truly divine and one of the best strawberry shortcakes! They also have seasonal specials, like pumpkin lattes and cakes. I recommend trying this next season!
