Blueberry scone, pound cake and lavender oatmilk latte

Lily's Roasters is such a beautiful and welcome addition to the Upper West Side. I visited yesterday with a few friends, and from the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with such genuine kindness and warmth by the staff. The service was attentive and gracious, and everyone made us feel completely at home. The space itself is absolutely charming. The vintage-inspired décor gives the café so much character, creating an atmosphere that feels cozy, nostalgic, and thoughtfully curated. It is stylish without feeling overly polished or impersonal. Instead, it has the warmth of a true neighborhood gathering place, where you can settle into a comfortable corner, catch up with friends, and happily lose track of time. I ordered the oat milk lavender latte, and it was absolutely delicious. The lavender flavor was beautifully balanced, fragrant and distinctive without being overpowering, while the oat milk made the drink wonderfully creamy and smooth. It felt both comforting and special, and it is easily one of the most memorable lattes I have had in a long time. I am already looking forward to ordering it again. My friends and I had such a lovely time sitting together, enjoying our drinks and taking in the atmosphere. Lily's Roasters feels like more than simply a place to stop for coffee. There is real care in the environment, the hospitality, and the overall experience. It is the kind of café that invites you to slow down, stay awhile, and return often. Whether you are meeting friends, enjoying a peaceful moment alone, or searching for a wonderfully crafted latte in a beautiful setting, Lily's Roasters is absolutely worth visiting. A true Upper West Side gem!

Great almond milk latte! Cute vibes and very friendly service. Will be back!

I love a small inviting coffee shot and this scratched the itch. The latte was tasty. The vibes were vibing and the service was top notch.

Lily Roastery is such a wonderful little coffee shop in New York City! The coffee was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully made. 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! read more

New spot on the UWS. Very cute and inviting, similar vibes to Sote a bit further down. 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. read more

What a cute and cozy coffee shop located right next to a crosstown bus stop so it is in a great location! There are places to sit in the front and back. The barista super sweet! I got an iced latte with Lavender which is very tasty. Came at around 10:30am and they were sold out of alot of pastries. So get here early if you would like a pastry with your coffee drink. Pretty newish spot that opened about 2ish months ago I believe is what she said. Great playlist also is played here. I will be coming here again. read more

Lily's Roasters has become a post-run Saturday tradition for me and a bunch of friends, and it's always something we look forward to! The space is so cozy and nostalgic, the coffee is by far the best in the neighborhood (we've tried many!), and they have a vegan pastry that I absolutely love! The owners, Ariana and Bessi, are also incredibly kind and always makes our group feel welcome. Such a special neighborhood spot! read more

A Michelin-Star-Level Egg Salad Sandwich…read more This update focuses on the egg salad sandwich, which stole the show on my most recent visit. I ordered the egg salad sandwich on toasted whole-wheat bread, and it was outstanding. The flavor and texture were, in my opinion, Michelin-star level. Visually, it was almost a work of art: the egg salad had a beautiful, vibrant yellow color, thanks to the addition of yellow mustard and the use of high-quality eggs. What makes the sandwich particularly impressive is how simple the recipe is. The egg salad is based on George Motz's mother's classic recipe, made with just hard-boiled eggs, yellow mustard, and quality mayonnaise. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the secret to making something exceptional. I chose the express line and headed to the first-come, first-served seating area in the back. I quickly found a window seat, which gave me a great view of the constant SoHo hustle and bustle--the perfect setting for enjoying lunch. There are also several options for customizing your experience. You can order the egg salad on white or wheat bread, toasted or untoasted. And if you can't decide between egg salad and tuna salad, there's the off-menu "Jonathan," which combines half egg salad and half tuna salad in the same sandwich. Another option is the Salad Plate, which comes with a scoop of both egg salad and tuna salad served with Ritz crackers. As always, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was efficient, friendly, and consistently excellent. For me, though, the star of this visit was unquestionably the egg salad sandwich--simple ingredients, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.
