Review Summary

At Lili & Oli, reviews describe a warm, cozy atmosphere with bright spaces and a terrace that adds charm, making it a good spot for friends, families, or a quiet moment to read. Staff are consistently praised for friendliness and efficiency, and the cafe often feels busy but comfortable thanks to ample seating. Coffee is a major draw with many praising the quality, including a strong cortado and the option to buy their own coffee on site, though a few drinks are noted as bitter, served at room temperature, or not to taste. Food and pastries get mixed feedback, from delicious breakfast sandwiches and scones to critiques about muffins or croissants not being perfectly cooked. Some reviews mention price as a factor and note restrictions such as no computers or limited laptop use on weekends, which some appreciate and others miss for work sessions. Overall, Lili & Oli comes across as a charming, versatile cafe ideal for a casual hangout, a productive work session, or a relaxed family outing, with a lively vibe and occasional room for menu improvements.

Un spot sympa en plein coeur de Verdun qui fait des lattes avec des glaçons au café, histoire de ne pas diluer. C'est donc un gros OUI OUI & OUIII !

Great cafe au lait, service, ambience!!! Have genuine brown sugar, cinnamon & coco on tap for self-serve to push your dopamine into level Drool, one up from eleven

I am very picky with coffee & this cafe does coffee justice. They have their own coffee brand, the cafe is huge with a ton of seating & they have a private patio in the back to relax & read. The staff is friendly & their pastries & scones are always fresh.

Les cafés sont vraiment bons. La tarte au citron & le muffins aux bleuets sont excellents. Possible d'acheter son café sur place, moulu ou en grains. Place chaleureuse pour se détendre ou même pour travailler.

The Lili & Oli staff are always super friendly & service here is usually quick. The cafe itself is very cute with plenty of seating, though it is almost always busy, so watch out for that. They have giant windows that let in loads of afternoon sunlight, & overall the vibe is cosy & relaxed.
The brownies are delish, the cheddar chive scones are a dream, & while I am not a coffee drinker & cannot speak to that, their teas (hot & iced) have always been very tasty. I had my first ever matcha latte here too!
My one disappointment is their new-ish policy about laptops on the weekend--they are not permitted before 2pm on Saturday & Sunday. I always go to a cafe to catch up on some creative projects on Sundays & Lili & Oli used to be my regular stop. Since implementing this policy I haven't been by as much, which has been sad. However, this policy has meant that the cafe has become much less busy over the weekends thanks to fewer people parking at a table for hours, which would make it the perfect spot to stop for a coffee with a friend or a good book!

Nouvelle dans le quartier, j'aime bien ce café, simple & beau. Les chocolatines sont bonnes ! Le matcha glacé pourrait être meilleur mais est correct tout de même.

Je suis vraiment époustouflé! Le café lili & Oli a commencé à faire de petits drink alcoolisés & j'adore le concept! Je pense que l'endroit & parfaitement propice a ce genre de service avec son ambiance tranquille & agréable! Je suis fan & je vais défensivement répéter l'expérience! Je recommande!

Perfectly alright café. Seems ideal for settling down & working on something, as they have multiple tables available for individual people. The place is cozy & the staff is unbelievably kind, with one of the baristas adding to the atmosphere with her diligent maintenance of the houseplants decorating the establishment.

Funnily, the weakest aspect is the food. The coffee is perfectly acceptable, but nothing special, while the blueberry muffin I had had a pleasant texture, but was lacking in flavour.

I recommend the place if you want to go somewhere to read, have a nice conversation, or work on a project *alongside* a drink or treat of your choice, but it's not worth going for the coffee alone.

Un beau 4 étoiles pour un café de quartier sympathique. Ambiance relax & vraiment unique comme nulle part ailleurs à Montréal. Je dis pas extraordinaire mais bien différente. Macchiato biene serré. Grains un peu trop acidulés à mon goût, étant grand amateur des grains italiens plus brulés & moins acides. Scones recette secrète. On y vient pour relaxer, placoter & observer la faune de la Welling, composé ici de pas mal de jeunes familles. Longue vie à Lili & Oli!

Super expérience dans ce joli café! Petite restauration (salée & sucrée), jolie terrasse, service au comptoir sauf pour les en-cas chauds commandés avant 15h00 (servis à table), équipe sympathique, ambiance chaleureuse. Merci!

Un café que ma conjointe & moi-même affectionnons particulièrement. Boissons & nourriture délicieuses. Ambiance familiale. Super équipe. Nous n'y retournions malheureusement plus depuis plusieurs mois, car excédés de ne plus y trouver de place du fait des télétravailleurs omniprésents, monopolisant 80 à 90% des places, y compris le week-end. Le lieu avait vraiment perdu de son charme & de sa convivialité, qui faisaient que nous adorions y aller pour y rencontrer les amis du quartier autour d'un bon déjeuner. Alors nous disons aujourd'hui à l'équipe un grand bravo pour le courage d'avoir enfin pris les mesures nécessaires pour interdire le télétravail le week-end & durant les vacances! Il fallait de l'audace, quoiqu'en disent les rageux qui y voient une raison financière d'augmenter le profit. & nous sommes heureux de retrouver notre Lili & Oli!

Love this cafe! I came here multiple times, & the staff were always friendly & welcoming! I also love their coffee & ice tea. The only two issue I would say 1) it's always very busy & a bit crowded, so grab a seat early if you can! 2)The quality of fresh orange juice is usually a bit sour in the afternoon, but otherwise, I have no complaints about this cafe! Highly recommended!

Very poor experience. I have had the chance to sit down & enjoy their snacks & drinks before, but I didn't get this far today. The shop was mostly empty, so I asked about the NO LAPTOP SIGN at the counter before ordering, since I came to study on my TABLET & thought they would let me. The particularly rude barista said no & explained that this was meant to « let people connect ». There were max 10 people sitting down & plenty of empty space. I was really looking forward to sitting down with my scone & iced tea, but they lost another customer to this senseless policy. I don't ever plan on coming back & have made Cafe Saint Henri my go-to replacement spot.

Un café pequeno pero de un ambiente muy acogedor. Si tienen ninos ellos tienen juguetes para ellos. Su café es muy bueno al igual que sus dulces
