Review Summary

Overall, Lili & Oli comes across as a warm, family friendly cafe with a cozy vibe, ample seating, bright light, and a back terrace that adds to the charm. The staff are consistently friendly and quick, and the space welcomes children with toys, making it easy for families to settle in. The coffee and drinks receive mixed notes: many praise the quality and variety, including good lattes and cortados, while a few find the coffee bitter or the matcha latte too strong; self serve toppings and a range of teas are a plus for some, though a couple of reviews mention disappointing drinks. Pastries and light bites are generally well regarded, with several mentions of fresh scones, muffins, and breakfast sandwiches, while a few say the food is not the strongest part of the experience. The cafe can be busy, which suits the lively vibe but can affect quiet work or long chats, and a weekend policy restricting laptop use is noted as both a relief for some and a drawback for others. Outdoor seating is a highlight and the overall atmosphere makes it a good spot for quick bites with friends, family time, or a relaxed read.

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.

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!

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!

This is by far the best Lili & Oli location in the city. The baristas are so friendly, & they make the most delectable iced lattes. My personal favourite is to pair a chive & cheddar scone with my coffee. If that wasn't enough to convince me to come back here all the time, they have a beautiful terrace in the back of the store! Their little patio feels like an oasis full of plants to lift your spirits. Visit this coffee shop if you want to start your day on the right foot.

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.

The terrace is very beautiful. Excellent coffees (I've tried the latte, capuccino, matcha) & their scones are pretty good. The friendly staff & cool atmosphere are greatly appreciated!!! :)

A great coffee shop & very nice atmosphere! They have a summer garden that will soon be opening. Their menu choice is abundant, scones, cookies, breakfast sandwiches & many more. & the food is made in house. They have many coffee & tea options, but I especially like the latte with macadamia milk. I highly recommend for people who want to hang out with friends, families with kids & for working with a laptop. The staff is very nice & the owner usually bake the scones over the weekend.
