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.
They have a ridiculous rule on weekend, the bartender told me closed your laptop, on weekend it's forbidden & I said to you at beginning, I really did not know about it, & knew they don't have wifi before 2:00 pm but not such crazy rule, then I
obliged to leave around noon. disrespectful & unprofessional & will never get back to this place.

Visited for the first time today & it was such a great experience! The staff was very kind & thoughtful, I got a hot chocolate (rich, not thick, not too sweet) & a brownie (very fudgy, sweet & delicious). Would definitely come here again :)
Un de mes cafés préférés à Montréal! Les employés sont exceptionnellement accueillants. Le café est délicieux, on y offre aussi matcha, chocolats chauds & autres boissons si réconfortantes. Les enfants sont les bienvenus, ils ont même des jouets à leur disposition!
Place is always busy & has nice, friendly staff. A nice place to hangout. The coffee is very bitter, which is a personal preference, but just not to my liking.
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 knew this place would be cute but I was not expecting THIS cute! The terrace in the back with blankets by the door in case it gets cold stole my heart 🥹 I'm a sucker for those
