Lily’s Coffee House

I stopped to find a cup of coffee. What I did find was a wonderful spot for a delicious lunch and coffee. The Bell Pepper soup was soooo good. My turkey sandwich was on fresh wheat bread with generous helpings of avocado, lettuce and tomatoes. The coffee was served over ice with cream… the coffee was an intense flavor… maybe best I have ever had. I’ll be stopping by whenever I’m in town.

Cozy patio to enjoy your coffee right on Main Street.
Had an early morning latte that was pretty good. Nice and hot. Staff was very nice and had good little conversation. Didn’t get anything to eat but the smell was very tempting.
I’ll go back next time in town.

The owners were delightful. New ownership since 2015. They said they had owned Lily’s for about a year. We brought our two kids who loved the tuna fish sandwich and sausage soup, and the BLAT sandwich. The potato salad was the creamiest my husband has ever had along with a chicken cranberry salad, and I enjoyed the sun dried tomato artichoke quiche. Delicious. Outdoor seating-​quaint. Will come again.

a cute café with outdoor tables and good for working. the wifi was spotty — I have my own mobile hotspot. Other than that–
good food– the caprese panini was good! The walnut, chocolate chip cookie was great too!
The owners are super sweet and friendly. A neighborhood café!

Cute place and friendly staff but they could do with a quick lesson in making espresso drinks.
There’s quite an art to pulling espresso. Done incorrectly results in bitter thin coffee

Delicious coffee. Charming garden patio with heat lamps. Pastries look great!

My husband and I were driving up the coast to Big Sur for my birthday, and we NEEDED coffee. This little gem of a coffee shop tucked away in the adorable little town of Cambria was so perfect!
I got a large house coffee — black, delicious and piping hot — and my husband got a black iced coffee that was seriously better than the froufy hipster cold brew that I see everywhere where we live. Also, their quiche looked delicious, and there was an amazing berry scone on the counter display calling to me. If I wasn’t going to be sitting on my booty for hours in the car, I’d have snatched it up.
The owner was very nice, and we both wanted to stay and hang out… But we had camping to do! So we made sure to stop here again on our way home, and they remembered us, and the coffee was just as great. Thank you Lily’s!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem because it was the only place open on Christmas day. Eventually the whole town was lined up outside the door. My husband and I had breakfast burritos, a dirty chai, and a chai latte. Everything was fantastic and flavorful. Dogs are welcome on the cute patio, which had life-​saving heat lamps on this freezing day. Mike and Michelle are cheerful, delightful, and brilliant to be open on days when others aren’t.

We were at Lily’s this morning and had a lovely time. The breakfast burrito was amazing. My son knocked over his hot chocolate by accident, and they graciously made us a new one, no charge. We’ll be back next time we visit Cambria.

Stumbled across this place while walking around town. We had two dogs with us, so it was important that we could get some coffee and a bite to eat in a dog-​friendly patio. The people who work here were incredibly nice to us. They immediately offered to turn on the heat lamp and gave some treats to our dogs. We ordered the peppermint mocha, cappuccino, breakfast burrito, and quiche (sausage and sun dried tomato). The breakfast burrito was good with tasty salsa, but the quiche was AMAZING.

EXACTLY what I needed. Was passing through town and bought the caprese panini and an Italian soda. The food was fresh, delicious and affordable but the best part was the Italian soda.
For some reason I ordered it with eggnog syrup (BAD idea). Took my first sip as I walked out the door and tbh It tasted pretty horrid. Turns out one of the staff saw my reaction, so he chased me out the door and offered to remake the soda! For free!
Needless to say the raspberry soda was a better choice!

Great spot with lovely porch to sit on. Breakfast burrito was so fresh and delicious. Coffee was great as well. Staff was very welcoming and friendly.

Sweet and friendly! It feels like you’ve arrived at a friends home for a cup of coffee and pastry. The outdoor seating is nice, especially in the morning sun. The pastries are made by the owner so they are fresh to enjoy. It’s really a sweet pleasure to stop by and relax.

Just had coffee and fresh blueberry scone. Yummy scone great coffee in a real mug! Lovely patio with flowers to sit and enjoy. A nice clean place to sit and enjoy. Plus Mike and Michelle are so friendly and welcoming.

Love this place. It’s nestled in a cute center surrounded by eclectic shops and beautiful garden areas. It has great ambiance and the owners are friendly and unpretentious.
They bake their own pastries etc. The Cinnamon brown sugar scone says it all. Come here. Try it.

This is a lovely place to sit down and have an espresso. Great outdoor seating area and charming indoor area as well. I had my usual iced Americano and the coffee is rich and flavorful. The owner was delightful and she engaged everyone in conversation.

The best coffee and Brownie i’ve ever eaten! Thanks Unilocal for this Great Place!
So ein Stück schokokuchen habe ich mir die ganze Zeit gewünscht

I loved this place with all my heart. Lily is the sweetest lady I have ever met working at a coffee shop. Her brownies are to die for! This is the only place we stopped two days in a row to get something!
The place makes you feel like youre at hone, just grabbin a cup of coffee at your mums house chatting about your day.
The entrance says best coffee in town, although I was not convinced to try any other coffee, it was amazing here. Better than Starbucks. You can feel the love Lily puts in every cup.
Did I mention the brownies are amazing? If you love coffee and little pastries, stop by I gurantee youll come back.
PS. She has a connected ary gallery. Why cant she be my grandma! :/

Cute little coffee house. We went in around 2 PM in the afternoon, and only got a cup of coffee. The service was friendly, the atmosphere is super cute. The coffee was simply OK. Personally, I wouldn’t go back but I can see from the other reviews that the baked goods are apparently very tasty.

Best brownie, best quiche. Laid back, off path but easy to get to coffee joint.

We stopped in to grab coffee before a long drive up the coast. It was a little hard to find; we thought it was one of the shops on the street, but it was tucked in behind without a sign out front.
It’s a cute little shop, and the barista was very friendly. We took a bit to decide what we wanted, and she was patient and helped us talk our way through our order (luckily, we were the only people there). We ended up getting a hot coffee, an iced coffee, and as an afterthought, a cookie and an Italian cream soda. The coffee was fine– nothing exceptional, but yummy all the same and kept us going on Hwy 1. The cookie was alright. It tasted good, but it was a bit too crunchy for my taste (maybe a tad stale?). The Italian soda was amazing! I had never tried one, and the barista suggested this with cream and tangerine syrup. So glad she did!
Overall, a nice place. Nothing life-​changing, but would definitely stop by again if we were in Cambria.
