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.
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!
Everything delicious, from the cappuccino to the croissants to the salads & breakfast sandwich. ALSO - love love love the no-laptop policy on the weekends. Different vibe to remind us that there's mor to life than work & tech. Human contact - yay!
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.
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!!! :)
