Lili & Oli

Lili & Oli is my favorite cafe ! They serve the best lattes in Montreal ! The owner and baristas will always greet you with a smile. They really care for their clients and it shows... I love to go get my favorite latte when I need a little boost of energy, for me it's not just coffee, it's a cup of happiness :D The decor is cozy with a little touch of "boho". There is a lot of natural light and some plants here and there. I often see people working on their laptop, so it's a great place to go if you need a change from your home office. I would definitely recommend this cafe !

Great Lili & is Oli café! Much larger than the one on Notre Dame, came to work on a weekday and it was half full so still lots of room, other people were there doing the same. There were some plugs though I don't think that many. Small drinks menu but you have most of what you need, small pâtisserie section, didn't see anything for lunch though.

Lilli and Oli on Wellington is a winning coffeeshop on every dimension. It has a really nice cafe vibe and high ceilinged bright space for working or chatting - better than the Notre-Dame location which has a smaller crowded feel and is better for takeout. The baristas make excellent coffee (I usually get a flat white or cortado). Today I tried the chai latte because they are one of the few places that make one that is not overly sweet, and it was quite good although I prefer a bit more spice. I also had their quinoa salad which I've been meaning to try and it was awesome!!!!! It is so hard to find a good fresh well-balanced salad for a light lunch in Montreal and it was exactly what I wanted. They were also generous with the feta cheese which IMO makes or breaks a salad of this sort. I will def try their beet salad next time. They also make a really excellent savoury scone and lemon square, which I have tried on other visits. Highly recommend.

I had oat milk cappuccino and a chocolatine - both very tasty. The place is cool, has a good atmosphere for reading or working as well. On top of that, the personnel is super nice. Definitely coming back!

Ordered a matcha latte sweetened with maple syrup and a regular latte also with maple syrup. Both were delicious and the presentation very pretty. Decor is inviting and friendly service.

The coffee and the tea were great. I also tried one cake (banana and chocolate) and it was amazing. It is a place where you like spending time and meet your friends. The staff is lovely and very welcoming

Nice coffee shop with a lively atmosphere. Coffee was good. The to go iced coffee cups are a bit cumbersome.

This is a pure gem in our neighborhood. It's really a place where you want to hang out "as you are". It's spacious, the staff is always smiling and welcoming. The crowd and the staff are nice with kids of all age. Coffee is good as well as croissant and muffins.

This one feels more homely and easygoing, if I had to work or read this would be a great coffee to do so. The matcha is also very balanced. Not to strong but not to milky. The bartender was really nice and I ordered everything in french, which was quite good.

Bel endroit pour venir travailler ou rencontrer un ami. Bon mélange de gens qui travaillant sur leurs ordinateurs portables, mais il y a aussi des gens qui discutent, plaisantent et bavardent. Décoration et ambiance super mignonnes. Belle attention aux détails. Des baristas géniaux avec une bonne personnalité. Ils préparent d'excellents lattés et cappuccinos avec du lait de vache... mais ils proposent également du lait à base de plantes. A remporté le prix des toilettes les mieux entretenues en Amérique du Nord en 2021.

We were driving through the city and found this amazing little gem! Well it's not so little. We were hungry for a snack and stopped here for coffee and croissants. We ended up also getting some grilled cheese sandwiches that were awesome and made to order. Coffee was fantastic, service was fantastic, and there was a line out the door. If that doesn't tell you it's good, I don't know what will. Stop in! You will not regret it!

*COVID-19 EDITION* A M B I A N C E Super cute coffee shop! Because of Covid-19 you can't sit and enjoy your coffee inside, but the chairs and set up looks great! I can't wait to enjoy this place soon! Looks like a great spot to do some work! C L E A N L I N E S S Hand sanitizer at the front, plexiglass all around the coffee bar! Masks mandatory as per the laws! O V E R A L L Q U A L I T Y The latte with cow milk that I had was delicious! My partner had one with Oat milk and it was great as well! This might become our new coffee spot! The chocolate croissant was so tasty! Buttery and flaky!! Mmm delicious!! C O S T Usual coffee rates! $-$$ W A I T T I M E S Their Covid-19 hours kind of suck. 8am-3pm?!? All of the work-from-homers in Verdun need to sprint to get their afternoon coffee fix! But we finally made it today! P A R K I N G & L O C A T I O N On Wellington Street, between 1e Avenue and Willibrord in Verdun. Wellington is currently a pedestrian only walkway and you cannot drive or ride your bike on the street. There is parking lots close to Wellington. H E L P F U L S T A F F The staff working this afternoon was so nice! After reading the other reviews, I believe they do a great job with hiring nice staff members!!

I visited at the end of March and it is now April 22 and am still craving another chocolatine, from Lili and Oli. I bought one from a local bakery where I live in Chicago and threw it out. It wasn't the flakey, fluffy, buttery, chocolate dream that I experienced in Montreal so I just couldn't eat it. For the best croissant in North America, this is the place. We stopped here on a cold Sunday morning, had lattes and chocolatines and now for the rest of my life, I will be dreaming about the next time I get to Montreal. The service was outstanding, friendly, and the cafe was warm and inviting with lots of friendly faces. It wasn't crazy jammed but it was bustling and fun. For a life changing croissant, stop here!

Great new cafe on Wellington Avenue in Verdun. It's solidly full in the middle of the day with students, families and people doing work. Really relaxed vibe, great chai lattes, mocha lattes, grilled cheese sandwiches and fresh daily soups. I often come here after skating at the local rink and get some hot chocolate. It has a clean, streamlined look with a leather sofa, wicker chairs and rug in the middle of the cafe. The people who work here are super friendly and chill too. If you need to get some work done and don't want to feel isolated and alone at home, this is a great place to do it.

This cafe is my favourite in the neighborhood. Everyone is so nice, they let you bring your dog in. Be sure to order a piece of their Lemon tart if there are any left!

I love their tile and children's corner (the wooden cupcakes are so cute, do they also make them for adults?), but it is very white (in all meanings of the word). I have to keep my sunglasses on even indoors. About the crowd: Every time I go there there's some fool who brags about some startuppy shit, like dopamine fasting (why the fuck would you want to do that??) or roommate-shaming (because people who live alone or coupled are superior, right???). What will it be next time, a reno-eviction shitlord? To be continued. About the bathroom: the TP holder is an intelligence test I failed, and I have a PhD in Physics. Great latte.
