Great Cafe Great food but NOT kid safe.

I have a almost 3 year old whom I found in the carpark of the Windsor Cafe as someone had left the door open. I went to tell the staff and they said due to wheelchair access they cannot lock the side door – what??? when I mentioned squashed kids they just shrugged shoulders. This is a Cafe I will visit with my kids but no longer under the SAFE illusion shame because I love everything about it but I want somewhere I can watch the kids and not worry if I cant visually see one for a few minutes!

We are sorry that someone ‘shrugged their soldiers’ and apologise for that. If we knew who it was we’d speak gently to them. We’ve done our best to provide a child-friendly cafe but we can’t take responsibility for people who leave doors open (we do close them when we see then open though). We are open a full child-care centre in January though – another great service being added to our stable.

Excellent cafe, definitely best in the area, after bad experience in another child cafe on the beach front in Browns Bay. This place is in another league – great service, food and atmosphere. Great place to go with a group of mum’s without being made to feel rushed and prices are reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend to all.

I had been to the Cafe a few times when my son was a baby (about 18 months ago) and found it ok. I went recently with my new baby and was shocked when I saw a little girl who could only just walk being let out of the gate to the car park by an older child. I had to run out and get the little girl (she only looked about a year old). I looked around for her mum and could not find her so just took her to the play area inside. I think that mums feel their children are safe as it is a child friendly place, however the gates are very low and bigger children can open them. I have been once more however I am very wary and do not let my toddler out of my site.

Had to take the time to review this cafe. After a negative experience my coffee group had at a ‘child friendly’ cafe in browns bay, this place is fantastic. We have always felt welcome, the food is fab, the atmosphere is buzzy and fine for wet weather or sunny days. Even have a roving nurse some days to answer mummy questions! Our coffee group meets there every week now. 2 small gripes- speed of ordering and getting food. It can be really slow service- surely they know they are popular now? Still totally recommend though.

Great child friendly atmosphere and safe outside play area. Some of the food is a bit pricey considering it is aimed at Mums and kiddies, but they make a good coffee.

Had my sons 1st birthday party there a few weeks ago. The platters (adult food) were fantastic, the kids muffins lovely, the staff fantastic. Can’t rave enough.

I read about Cafe Windsor in a Treasures magazine. A friend & I checked it out and thought it was great! Loads of space for bubs to crawl and kids to play. Fantastic place for coffee groups. Great menu, great coffee and great staff! A must visit for all parents.

This is a fantastic place to take kids and relax. I went there with my 10 month old and could have a coffee whilst she crawled around on the floor. They have good food and coffee and great toys and books for the kids to play with. The place is massive and has an outdoor playground as well which is quite impressive for older children. Overall i cannot rave enough about it. My daughter had a muffin that went all over the floor, however it was not a worry they just quietly swept it up, after apologising they said that it happens all the time – that it what i loved about it – very kid friendly – Top star rating from me

This cafe knows how to make a strong flavoursome flat white with professional crema. It’s also a perfect spot for parents with young children, as there are plenty of toys, colouring activities and space to run around.
