When I travel for work, I always try to visit local cafes in between meetings. This time, I visited Grey Squirrel Manor in Windsor, CA. As the name suggests, this cafe is squirrel themed, down to their wifi name and password. It's a cutesy little shop in the town square, right across the park. I had their café latte and a bagel lox. The bagel is beet bagel which gives it its gorgeous bright pink color and topped with black sesame seeds. I don't know that it tastes much of beets but I felt good about eating it. It was served up with cream cheese and salmon lox with micro greens and pickled red onions. The cafe's take on this classic works and the size was just right for a lunch serving. The latte was satisfying. You really taste the espresso and the steamed milk and creamy foam was the right pick me up I needed after my early morning drive. The cafe had plenty of outdoor seating. The inside also had a sitting area in the middle of the room with comfy couches. Plenty of tables and chairs along the windows too, perfect for working or just catching up with friends over coffee. Service was friendly and my barista was just as happy as can be. A local gem. read more

Honestly, I would've left you a five star review except for the fact that I just got what was supposed to be a bagel sandwich with egg and apparently it's a hard-boiled egg sliced up cold on the side of the bagel. For this price, this is not OK. You need to fix this. What the hell kind of bagel sandwich is this? Great coffee but the high prices mean that you need to deliver and a sliced up egg is not cool man. I just spent $18 for two bagels only one w, cream cheese and a boiled egg. I'm now at home cooking my own egg for my $12 'sandwich'. It was not made clear to me that this wasn't an actual egg sandwich. read more

The new coffee shop downtown Windsor is the real deal!!! Their reviews speak for themselves! I've been hearing about them and seeing social media posts so I had to check it out for myself ! I came in at 2pm on a Sunday and it was packed busy. Not an empty seat inside!! Coffee shops these days feel cold and unwelcoming, but Grey Squirrel Manor is the opposite! They are very cozy and warm. Makes you want to hang out in there for hours! Just great vibes and fun wallpaper/merch etc. They have lots of seating and have some couches/comfy chairs inside and a big outside area with tables and umbrellas! The staff were all super nice and wonderful. They recommended the honey bee latte and that's what I got (iced). It was SO GOOD!! I can't wait to go back and try more! It was almost a 20min wait for my drink because they were BUSY, but it was worth it!!! My only 2 complaints was I tried to tip in cash and they said they preferred digital tips , she was very hesitant to take my cash tip, I think that was kind of weird. And also my medium iced drink (no modifiers) was $10. Kinda of steep for a medium drink. I do understand everything in the economy is expensive and prices are going up etc. However, I will definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone. but for me, it would only be a special treat type of visit because I couldn't afford to go get coffee there multiple times a week. read more

Grey Squirrel Manor is a beautiful and cozy new spot that you need to visit at least once while you're in town! I tried their Honey-Bee Latte and the Squirrel Sandwich, both of which were delicious! The cafe is located in a beautiful little Victorian style house with lots of seating both indoors and outdoors. The staff were wonderful and the food came out very fast! read more

Love this new addition to the Windsor town green! Fantastic service, creative beverage menu along with solid versions of the standard options. We had 2 of the specialty drinks and they were both great. I have never had a cafe de Olla made as latte but the house made syrup was perfect as it was not overly sweet as some can be overpowering. This version had the right mix. The drip coffee was also excellent, I understand they use Land and water beans. The ambience is warm and welcoming. Welcome to the neighborhood Grey Squirrel Manor, your locals will love you. read more

The cutest squirrel theming everywhere you look! My partner always calls me a squirrel, so when I saw all the squirrel paraphernalia it really called and spoke to me. The chai latte was rich and tasty and silky, no chalkiness whatsoever. I do think for $8 it was on the small side, very pricey! Conveniently located in the heart of Windsor which is cute and walkable. Loved all the decor and just wish the size of my chai was more generous! read more

I'm really rooting for this new small business. The staff were friendly, and I understand that wait times are longer while they figure everything out! The ambiance is nice and I love the revamped decor! Unfortunately, the coffee we tried was just not good. We had an iced dulce de leche latte, which was a signature drink. For a 16oz to be $10, I am going in with high expectations. Weak espresso, lacking in any and all flavor, and the type of oatmilk that just makes a drink taste watery/slightly sour. Add $1 for oat milk, add in tax, add in a tip....and that's a pricey drink for it to not be good. I am so willing to come back and give it another try, maybe in a few more weeks when they really get into the swing of things. 4/5 everything in shop 3-/5 for the actual coffee read more

Super cute! I love what the new owners have done with this coffee shop - such a fun theme. Cute moody coffee shop vibes in the heart of Windsor. They seem to feature a new and exciting drink often - follow their instagram page for updates and releases! I had to try their "magic portal" drink which was an iced vanilla almond latte that they put sprinkles and glitter on (loved it, so fun). So happy about their new extended hours too :) read more

They have improved the flavor of the "chocolate squirrel" a lot! I very much enjoy this new one. There are still a few areas in which they can improve, but at least you can get a solid mocha now read more

Wonderful new, modern, comfy, whimsical, specialty coffee shop that opened up in Windsor. I saw that they use Land and Water beans. I ordered a Gibraltar and it was solid; skillfully extracted. With that being said, I am looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks, especially their cleverly named take on a London Fog. Everything leads me to believe that whoever opened up this shop or made the menu knows what they're doing. Rejoice Windsor coffee drinkers, we finally have a great shop in town. You no longer have to travel all the way to Healdsburg or Santa Rosa for a proper espresso drink. read more

I ordered the sweet honey latte. It was very delicious and the milk was steamed perfectly. The microfoam texture was perfect. The cinnamon on top is a great addition for cinnamon lovers. The inside searing is plentiful and there are luxurious couches. The is an off brand jenga game which was very fun. As my partner and I left the barista told us to enjoy our day. Would come back but the lattes are expensive. read more

Right off the bat I was greeted with such a warm welcome! I really liked how multiple baristas interacted with me and were super friendly! My favorite part was having the option of A2 whole milk :) I only knocked down a star because I personally prefer a bolder tasting espresso. Great place with great vibes! (also the warmed up chocolate chip cookie is AMAZING!! very gooey and chewy!) read more

I stopped by to try the strawberry matcha, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. I ordered a small strawberry matcha latte, which came out to about $10 before tip. For that price, I was expecting a little more in terms of both quality and overall experience. Unfortunately, the drink mostly tasted like milk, and I could barely taste the matcha or strawberry. The service was also pretty average. No one was rude, but it didn't feel very welcoming. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I personally don't think the price matched what I received. read more

Wonderful coffee shop with wonderful staff! Super cute inside area and the drinks were amazing! Owner was very kind and his energy promotes a wonderful atmosphere- thank you! read more

Grey Squirrel Manor is such a special addition to Windsor. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was created with real intention. The space feels elevated but still welcoming, and every detail, from the branding to the presentation, is thoughtfully done. The drinks are incredible, beautifully crafted and genuinely some of the best I've had in the area. You can tell they care about quality and consistency, not just aesthetics. The team is also so kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It's the kind of place you want to linger in, whether you're catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet moment with a great coffee. Really excited to see this place continue to grow. Windsor needed this. read more

They are pretty over priced for their drinks. Their large is the average coffee shops medium and it's $8 for a large chai and it was just ok I've had a latte from there too and it was $10 and just ok. It's a cute vibe but over priced. read more

Service was horrible. There was a very long line nearly out the door and the cashier who was taking peoples orders would start unnecessary conversation with each patron about completely unrelated things. I ended up waiting in line for about 20 minutes because she was unable to handle a line properly. The prices are obscene and they use land and water coffee - not even their own. It was $18 for a small latte and a small matcha. The latte I ordered tasted very bitter and I ended up not drinking it because it was very bad. read more

This place was recommended by my daughter in law and lived up to the hype! The coffee was delicious and the staff was amazing! Thank you Donald, Luca, Lisette, Jimmy and Stephanie! Side note ( ask about the name and it's origins ) read more

Checked out new coffee shop. Nice decor, good coffee. I especially like them pre-warming the coffee cups and the upholstered searing. The updated decorations make the space less loud, which is great. The upgraded seating does leave less space between seating areas. The coffee isn't cheap. Can be crowded at times during events on the Green. Staff is friendly and attentive. Note: does not accept cash read more

Delicious golden turmeric latte and avocado toast....amazing service! The squirrel theme is very cute :) read more

Grey Squirrel Manor - Golden turmeric latte, avocado toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Windsor, California

This place is . The vibes - very high; the name "Squirrel Manor" is fitting. Squirrels are the theme and you feel like you're in a high end coffee shop. The coffee - 10/10. As a previous barista of nearly 10 years I'm a bit of a snob and they exceed my expectations every time. The people - customer service is next level. Donald and Lizette ( and ) help provide a fun and engaging environment, always asking how the day is going and offering me samples. Overall - get squirrely, you won't regret it. read more

Meh. Expensive drinks but high quality ingredients. Baristas were a little pissy but it was hot that day. Idk. Ordered the salmon toast. Salmon was very smoky. Cute space read more

This place is so cute! The coffee is amazing & the baristas have fabulous suggestions for new drinks. Merch area is so cute! Donald Montenegro was very helpful & attentive to service, 10/10 would recommend this place to relax & hang! read more

I've been here several times now, and it's 95% amazing! The guest service at the counter is always on point & genuine. The vibe is very welcoming, comfortable and almost too cool for my old self (but then they played Pinback and I felt seen). I love that they feature local bakeries/ coffee companies, and all the drinks and food I've had so far are very crave-able! The only feedback I have is for the barista situation: I think they are still figuring out their working stage/ platform. There is little engagement with the guests, and more conversations between themselves about scheduling, work, etc. But they make a great drink! Wish they offered seltzer for a 5oz or less on the For Here drinks- that would be a *chefs kiss*! So glad you're on our square Grey Squirrel!!! read more

What a cute place! Avocado toast is wonderful and the Horchata latte completely decadent and delicious. Great vibe. I will be back! read more

Grey Squirrel Manor is exactly what our town was missing! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, modern, and so welcoming. It's quickly become my favorite spot because I feel instantly comfortable every time I visit. The staff is truly amazing, and the quality of the food and coffee is exceptional. My kids are obsessed with the conchas and the squirrelito, and the avocado toast is easily the best I've had. Whether you're looking for a cozy place to sit or just a perfect cup of coffee, this is the place to be. So happy to have this gem in town! read more

For my first impression I'm really happy with the service I got here. Donald helped me at the register and he was very patient with us as it was our first time. We got two iced Dulce de leche lattes, I really love the cream they add on top. It's not like Starbucks cold foam, it's a thick whipped cream they add on top, it's really new and fun. We arrived around 2:30, and the staff still had a nice and welcoming energy about them, I always fell wary coming to places close to closing but they were beyond friendly. To my surprise, while waiting for my coffees, Donald gave me a squirrel cookie to sample, my kiddos loved it! And I really appreciated that kind gesture. As a mom, finding places that are family my friendly is very important to me. This cafe has upscale aesthetics while still offering accommodations like generous seating, aisles large enough to fit a stroller, bathrooms (a huge plus), and the cutest little toddler seating outside. My daughter had a great conversation with one of their baristas outside (unfortunately did not catch her name). Again, all things that really stand out to me, this family friendly business deserves 5 stars. Thank you, I'll be back to try the horchata latte! read more

Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing service and hospitality. it was super appreciated, and the macchiato was absolutely amazing

My wife and I stopped in last week for a couple of coffees and bagels. The coffee is hands down the best I've ever had in the county and the bagels were delicious and fresh. This place is so good that it makes me want to drive from a town over just to get it! The service was wonderful and the lady working even offered to help carry everything to our table. Donald was super sweet and even gave my wife a squirrel shaped cookie as a treat because we told him we were on our way to a doctor's appointment as she's pregnant. I've seen complaints about pricing, but honestly you're getting what you pay for here. I consider it more valuable than some of these other coffee shops that only charge a couple dollars less for their drinks. If there was one critique I could leave is that there should be sip lids for drinks that have cold foam on top, but I know this business is new, so I'm sure that will come in time! read more

This new spot is great the fresh food, great coffee is amazing, Jimmy & Donny make you feel so welcome with their service. Can't wait to be back ! read more

How exciting to finally have a cute and cozy coffee spot in Windsor! Somewhere I will actually take friends when they are in town. Love the couches and the overall motif. Small place so don't go in a rush! Such friendly staff, will be a regular read more

The space is beautiful, my mocha was great but after paying $9.87 for one drink and a tip on top of that I won't be back.

This is an awesome place. They way they decorated, makes you want to hang out while you drink your tasty, local, coffee. They have solid pastries from La Rayna and savory treats from other local spots. Price is on the higher end, but well worth the good vibes, great coffee and kind employees. Cant wait to go back. read more

This new spot is very nice inside and the drinks are good but the food is priced ridiculously. I got the lox bagel and cream cheese. It's $16 and was about 5 bites of food. The toast was $11 and that was about 4 bites. I'm a small person and I definitely left hungry both times. If they are going to charge a hefty price that's fine, I don't mind paying, but I do expect to get my money's worth and I just don't feel that I do at this spot. read more

I am so impressed with the management of the GSM. I reviewed with a complaint about there never being a decaf brewed and being upselled to an americano. They took my complaint to heart and are now charging brewed coffee price for the decaf americano! Now that is customer service! read more

Such a cute spot with amazing customer service -- truly 10/10 on the vibe and friendliness. I was really excited to try it, but my latte tasted watered down and it was overpriced. I'm rooting for this place though and hope they dial in the drinks because it has so much potential!" read more
