Overall, Lili & Oli comes across as a cozy, welcoming cafe with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe, a popular spot for quick bites, chats with friends, or a work break thanks to plenty of seating and a sunny atmosphere. The coffee and pastries are a frequent highlight, with many praising cappuccinos, lattes, brownies, muffins and scones, though a few note that some drinks can be bitter or that a pastry may be underwhelming. The space is described as bright and charming, kid friendly with toys and books, and it features a back terrace that adds to the charm. It tends to be busy, which can be part of the appeal, while a weekend policy about laptops has drawn mixed reactions from visitors. Overall, Lili & Oli is viewed as a versatile, welcoming place to eat, drink, chat, or work in a warm setting.
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!
Very cozy place, my go to for any one on one meet ups! Their prices are pretty standard & coffee is good. The service is quick & friendly too & the atmosphere is amazing. They have a super cute outdoor area which I strongly recommend visiting. Indoors it can be very busy, but overall you can always find a spot. Definitely recommend.
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.
Total miss for me. Chai latte is basically cinnamon with milk, very overpowering taste & 0 other spices. Poor cold brew. Pastries 4/10. Service & atmosphere is good, but not the food.

The coffee is amazing here. The atmosphere is nice, you'll find all kinds of people here: grandparents with their grandchildren, families, professionals, couples, etc. I recommend the outside terrace if the weather is nice. The staff is super friendly.
Some of the worse coffee I've tasted, very bitter. The environment & atmosphere is outstanding & the barista's are very lovely. Good vibes, good food, bad coffee .
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!
