Lili & Oli feels like a small, cozy cafe that works well for a quiet coffee break or a productive spot to work, with a warm atmosphere, a distinctive aesthetic and good music. Coffee is often praised for quality, from strong espressos to tasty lattes, and the iced drinks with the famous coffee ice cubes are a standout for many, while a few feel the prices are a bit high. The menu offers pastries and croissants along with savory bites, with several reviewers calling items delicious and not overly sweet, though seating can be tight and there are occasional stockouts. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming vibe, yet some notes mention dry sarcasm toward non locals that may feel unwelcoming. Cleanliness or trash placement is touched on by a minority, and finding space when busy can be a challenge, but the cafe remains a well loved local spot for its ambience and reliable coffee.
Loved their coffee. We ordered cortados with oat milk & they were made perfectly well. They had apple carrot muffins but we didn't try them. Nice & sunny place. Gets busy sometimes.
Never had any food there but the drinks are good but really i go there for the atmosphere 🩶 when i can't concentrate at home this is where i go & i just appreciate the vibe & the people that goes there

It's a small cozy café with AMAZING coffee. Like, I was taken aback by how flavorful & tasty it was. The attention & service is outstanding. They prepare your drink practically in front of you. I'm a little bit sad that they don't have more options to eat, because it's such a nice place.
This is one of the best iced latte & highest quality coffee I've ever had. I'm even willing to pay to learn how they make their lattes (I've tried hard but never reached this level). The atmosphere is amazing, & the staff are energetic, creating a great vibe. It was an excellent experience. You should definitely expand & open more locations, & bigger ones too.

J'avais complètement oublié ma carte débit lorsque j'y ai été pour la première fois il y a quelques années & on m'a dit de revenir le payer le lendemain. La confiance est rendue rare & j'ai tellement apprécié. Je m'en souviendrai toujours ! Le service était excellent, le café également & les sourires font du bien !
It was the best almond croissant ever since years but when I bought it today , it's not related to almond croissants nothing related & taste not good qt all , I don't recommend this one unfortunately, it should be like before
My go to iced coffee in the city! What I love about this cafe is they use cold brew ice cubes so it doesn't make the coffee watery! Ophélie is very sweet made my morning :)
Not bad at all! Espresso is decent, but for sure not the best I've ever had. Amazing service though. Parts of the cafe is dark, tight & gloomy. Also, they have ice that's made of espresso, something super unique & not a lot of cafes have that at the moment. So not watery at all. Overall, not a bad place for a quick caffeine hit.
Bon cold brew! Le service était passable, la première personne qui s'est occupée de nous avait l'air d'avoir hâte de partir. Somme toute l'endroit était agréable pour s'asseoir un petit moment quand on est de passage dans le quartier.
