Des vitrines présentent des créations minutieusement préparées, allant des croissants beurrés aux muffins denses et savoureux qui varient selon la production quotidienne. Chaque boisson reflète une technique d'infusion rigoureuse conçue pour extraire une complexité aromatique maximale des grains sélectionnés. L'ambiance demeure rythmée par le son constant du moulin à café et le ballet efficace des plateaux sortant des zones de préparation.

Bien que l'espace puisse devenir très chaud en été ou manquer de places assises aux heures de pointe, l'établissement bénéficie d'une clientèle fidèle qui apprécie son esthétique et la constance de ses produits.

If you're a local, sure, come. Food is good & I liked the coffee. But if you are an outsider (English speaker or not), be prepared for a dry sarcasm that will make you feel unwelcome. & the place is not really pet friendly, as pets are welcome when you ordering but cannot stay.
I would like to take a moment of silence for regular ice cubes, because once you've experienced the famed Lili & Oli coffee ice cubes, you'll be changed forever. As the saying goes once you go black, you never go back.
This iced latte does not dilute. It evolves. As the ice melts, it whispers sweet melodies of espresso into your drink. It is, quite literally, like a second coffee hiding inside your first coffee. A Russian doll of caffeine, if you will. A crescendo of caffeine-induced euphoria. A delectable stroke of genius so obvious in hindsight it makes you wonder how humanity survived without it.
Every sip, richer than the last. Time works in your favour here.
As for the shop itself: warm, welcoming, consistent. The kind of place that accidentally becomes part of your personality.
Anyone bold enough to leave a negative review should know this : hundreds, possibly thousands, of fiercely loyal patrons stand ready to rise in defence of these coffee ice cubes & you may very well risk being met with (freezing) fire & fury, the likes of which you've never seen. You've been warned.
& for those who haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out.
Loved the service & the food !! This cafe has a super chill vibe. We loved the pizza slices & the savory scone. Very flavorful, not oily & super tasty!! It can be hard to find seating so be prepared if you are going there with a big group. My chai tea latte was good, but I prefer a bit more masala like cinnamon. We loved their iced coffee too. Will go back for their savory bites !! Keep going guys, you have doing great.
The coffee here is excellent, & the service is just as good, the staff are friendly & welcoming. There isn't much seating inside, but the place has a nice vibe overall.
I visited Lilli & Oli with my brother for a morning coffee. I had a double espresso, & he had a hot chocolate with a chocolate croissant. Both were fantastic - the espresso was, by far, the best I've had in Montreal, & I'm usually hard to please. The place is cozy, & the service was decent. I'd definitely come back.
Nice & quaint cafe. We went for a Cold Brew & a Petit Cafe Glace (which wasn't so petit!) on a hot day. Loved them both. Interesting idea of coffee infused ice cubes, so more coffee as the cubes melt. We didn't try the food as we weren't hungry.
The staff was nice & friendly. A couple of parking spots on the other side of the street.
Definitely recommended.
Coffee & food is ok. The place was not very clean & the garbage bin was not easy to find which is probably why people would not know where to put away their trash.
