Lily’s Café: Reviews & Ratings
Absolutely fantastic cafe. Lovely coffee, food and service. We had a slice each of a “posh bread pudding” mash up consisting of pain au chocolate, pain au raisin and almond croissant, I guess using up previous days leftovers. What a brilliant idea and absolutely delicious served warm with whipped cream.
We had never been here before today but we have to say that for somewhere to stop in Seaview for drink and a snack this place was great. We both chose a tea and a panini and the sign by the counter read "we don't serve fast food, we serve fresh food as as fast as we can!" Well this message rang true and the panini was worth the wait. Brie, cranberry and bacon, with a lovely small side salad. Teapigs tea and a nice atmosphere with free wifi if you need it. Top tip - if it looks busy when you enter from the street, venture over the step and passed the sofa to find more seating. We will definitely visit again.
Lily’s Cafe in Seaview was unexpectedly lovely and cosy inside. The photos on Google Maps don’t do it justice! The staff were friendly and accommodating. I had an iced Americano and my usual iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and to my delight, the vanilla syrup was sugar-free. The cakes were moist and delicious, but the real highlight was the food. The sourdough toast open-faced sandwiches were scrumptious—we cleaned our plates! We tried the chicken avocado and the vegan hummus avocado sourdough toast. If you are ever in Seaview, you must stop by!
Wonderful local cafe with fine fresh food and home made smoothies! Good seating inside and out with a lovely atmosphere.
Over the years of visiting the island we have been to this place a number of times. The homemade cakes are lovely and you can tell they are authentic. Totally recommend the victoria sponge or lemon drizzle cake. Absolutely the best I've tasted :-) As an update-we have visited the island again, and of course have been regular customers at Lily's for the past 6 days. Their homemade sausage rolls and cakes are still delicious! I also tried a piece of fruity flapjack today. Again, a quality homemade treat. Staff are all polite and friendly as always. The more senior members of staff always remember us and take the time to have a chat. They always make us feel welcome. Totally recommend this place.
Love this place. The people, the food the atmosphere. All so great - the chocolate brownies are to die for x
Super cute cafe, friendly service, nice music and deco. The selection of homemade cakes is great, the cakes are super yummy and omg the coffee is actually so good I didn’t believe it! Nice range of breakfast options too.
Warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff - and the food & drinks were delicious! Hot chocolate with the giant marshmallow is highly recommended!
