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.
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.
Beautiful coffee shop with lots of tables, seats, a couch, & a small garden to work from. They make their own chai in house which is a bit on the spicier side but also a bit watery. They should concentrate or reduce it more in my opinion. The decaf coffee is nice. I got a shot & while it had some bitter, drying features it was also fruity & acidic. Not bad. The also offer pastries. I ordered the blueberry muffin - it looked so good. I could do without the sugar crystals on top but it was still good - fluffy & sweet. & actually paired well with my bitter shot of coffee. Random but they also won some'best toilets in the North America' award in 2021. So if you happen to drink lots of coffee, you'll have a good, clean place to relieve yourself haha. Cheers!
The place is really big & nice so you can find space to take your coffee there. The staff is always nice. The prices are good & not as expensive for a good quality treat. Is perfect to either enjoy a coffee or get some homework done!
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!!! :)
Very good coffee, Amazing service. Great shop for infants & young kids with play area. My vote for second best tasting coffee in verdun, but best all around coffee because of the location & great staff.
