Cafés & Coffee Shops

Explore and discover cafés, coffee shops and tea rooms in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. They are perfect for a ‘pick me up’ at any time of the day.

Refuel with a hot drink while you're out shopping, catch up with friends over a coffee and pastry or watch the world go by over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

You’ll find well-known high-street coffee chains such as Costa, Café Nero, Pret and Starbucks as well as some great independent cafés too.

Enjoy some local produce

Situated on the edge of the Home Park, Windsor Farm Shop is just a short distance away from the beautiful scenery of the Great Park and historic surroundings of Windsor Castle. Catch the Golden Tours open top bus (check operating calendar) and alight at the Windsor Farm Shop stop.

The onsite coffee shop offers a vast selection of cakes, cream teas and fresh cream patisseries, sandwiches, paninis and salad and hot food and a delicious selection of hot beverages including organic fair trade coffee.

A cup of tea with history

The first café for visitors to Windsor Castle has opened in Edward III’s medieval Undercroft, which for centuries served as the Castle’s main wine cellar and is one of the oldest surviving spaces in the 1,000-year-old royal residence.

Visitors can enjoy freshly prepared meals, including sandwiches, wraps and salads, served alongside an exclusive selection of teas. Sweet treats range from vanilla mille-feuille and vegan chocolate cake to fruit scones and Victoria sponge.

During the summer, the Café serves ice cream produced using milk from the Jersey herd at the Royal Farms, Windsor.

The Undercroft is on the ground floor of the Castle beneath St George’s Hall, where State Banquets take place, and dates back to Edward III’s major renovations during the 1350s and 1360s.

A café with a view

For a café with a view, it’s hard to beat The Savill Garden Kitchen within The Savill Garden Visitor Centre.

Glance through the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy a refreshing drink whilst gazing out at the expansive garden, or take a break on the outdoor terrace.

The menu includes breakfasts and pastries, wood-fired pizzas, soups, salads, hot meals, Sunday roasts, desserts and cakes.

Dog walkers can enjoy a coffee, tea or cake on the covered terrace overlooking the Garden.

A beverage by the river

Admire the beautiful River Thames either side of the bridge between Windsor and Eton. On the Eton side, enjoy morning coffee with a French twist at Cote Brasserie in Eton or on the Windsor side, relax with a beverage in Sir Christopher Wren’s Brasserie.

In Maidenhead, drop down to Bakedd, an artisan bakery and coffee shop with outside seating right by York Stream.

Coffee by the college

After a visit to Windsor Castle, a short walk down Peascod Street will bring you to St Leonards Road with its range of independent shops and eateries; it's where the locals like to hang out. Opposite the college, you'll find Millar's Eatery, the perfect spot for a cracking shot of coffee and a delicious piece of homemade cake.
