The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and had such a great NYC feel. You can tell they really care about the quality of their coffee and the experience they give their customers. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything we had was wonderful. I would definitely recommend Lily Roastery to anyone looking for great coffee and a lovely place to stop while in New York City. I can't wait to come back!

New spot on the UWS. Very cute and inviting, similar vibes to Sote a bit further down…read more Unfortunately, Lily's was a miss. The cappuccino I was served was very sour, so an issue with how the coffee was brewed or the beans I suspect. Will likely come back to try again since it's such an inviting spot, but won't go out of my way to.

Hubster's oatmilk latte was perfect. Im also not a "fruity" syrup lover but their White Chocolate Raspberry latte special was a nice treat!

There are also a few seatings outdoors. love that we got a free drink when we brought a box of their coffee beans! thank you for the wonderful visit.

If you're looking for something fun, the maple cinnamon iced latte is so delicious!! The service is always very quick and the baristas are very efficient. There's minimal seating inside but you can get lucky to get a spot to sit, which I personally enjoy doing when I am not in a rush. I come often and will definitely continue to come back.

I think this place has good beans and good tasting espresso. However their ratios for a standard…read morelattes is way off. If they are pulling a double shots for their 16 oz lattes they should at least be 30-40 grams but the 16 oz latte is essentially only milk. The color came out really light even though I ordered almond milk. I have gone a few times here, the first my drink was great, however the second and third time was super milky. No real flavor all I can taste is milk. When I tried to ask the barista about my drink she goes "Yeah. That's what a latte is. Mostly milk." Extremely rude & condescending, like I don't know what a latte is. The concept of a latte is not rocket science, I understand it's 75% milk, however the syrup and espresso should balance out the flavor so I don't just taste milk. I've also been a barista, and know how to create house made syrups, I should be able to taste it. She very rudely offered an extra shot but made sure I knew it was super inconvenient. They only offer an iced 16 oz, I usually prefer a 12 oz so there is less milk. Overall a nasty experience with the barista. She made sure to even be rude when she dropped off the food later. I would give one star for the service alone, however they do have good pastries and pour over coffee. Even with that, probably won't be stopping by again.

No surprise, this popular Upper West Side coffee shop is worth a stop…read more The line went out the door and onto the sidewalk, but it moved quickly and our drink orders came out a few minutes after we ordered.

The coffee wasn't great, the bagel was stale, and after about an hour the music was turned up and the AC was turned down, making it uncomfortable to stay.

Though the pastries and coffee are expensive, we have been here numerous times to order their hot chocolate and croissant.
