Williams Fresh Café - Hamilton, Ontario

Food is always very good. Better option than your usual fast food. Staff is friendly but service a bit slow, especially to clean the table. My biggest beef, students buying a drink and hanging out in a booth doing homework for a couple of hours. Buy something or go home!

Williams Fresh Cafe strikes a balance between practicality and comfort. It's not the place you'd go for Instagram-worthy decor, but it's got a homely feel that makes it a good spot to hunker down with your laptop, courtesy of the free Wi-Fi. It's the kind of place where the simplicity ... of the setup—a straightforward chair-and-table situation—encourages you to focus on your work or enjoy a casual meet-up. The food is dependable. Waffles, for instance, are a solid pick: fluffy and filling, with just the right amount of sweetness. While it may not be the culinary star of the neighborhood, it's the reliable choice when you need a no-frills meal that satisfies. Be prepared for a bit of a wait—sometimes around 15 minutes—before your food arrives. But this is a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. The ambiance is quiet and unassuming, with a gentle hum of conversation that's typical for a cafe. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring you get what you need without much fuss. It's not the pinnacle of cafe culture, but for what it aims to be—a place to refuel, recharge, or regroup—Williams delivers. Whether you're there for the waffles or the Wi-Fi, you'll find it's a space that serves its purpose well. Read more

Honestly, I had the best best best Cafe experience here last week and I have been thinking about my meal ever since because it was some top notch goodness! I had the Chai Latte which was served super cutely with a Bow design. For my meal, I had the Chicken ... Pesto Sandwich with a side of Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Bisque Soup with a piece of Garlic Bread Toast! This was super delicious and both items were fresh and warm, just the way I love my food! I will definitely be visiting again and the staff are super friendly and welcoming! I've been here in the past as well when I use to attend McMaster University, and I do remember they have great waffles and an amazing French vanilla milk shake! Read more

Grilled cheese tasted good but pretty disappointing ..so small and simple for the price. Same with the tomato soup, I expected more, and they were also all out of garlic breadsticks. Generally I would rather go to the Burnt Tongue for both. But the restaurant has nice seating and wifi ... and we also got free brownies for downloading the app. Read more

I had visited this cozy cafe and really loved the vibes. There are ample breakfast and beverage options. Being a vegetarian, it’s very hard to find a place that serves food of your taste pallet. I had ordered funky monkey waffle with vanilla and chocolate icecream. It was a really ... filling option and tasted very nice. Second was the roasted veggies panini served with dill that tasted very subtle and delicious. Highly recommend this place for your delicious yet filling breakfast under budget. Read more
