Lily coffee, tea & bread

Crema's Take
“Tucked away in North Augusta, this beloved spot masterfully blends Vietnamese-inspired flavors with specialty coffee and tea culture, earning a devoted following for creative drinks like their signature egg coffee and lychee green tea with popping pearls. The welcoming staff genuinely delights in guiding both newcomers and regulars through the menu, making it feel less like a transaction and more like a personal recommendation from a friend. With its casual, slow-paced atmosphere perfect for lingering over thoughtfully crafted sandwiches like their standout tofu banh mi, it's become the kind of place where people return again and again to discover their next favorite drink.”

We have never been here. The staff Anna was very helpful and helped us pick out drinks and food. The tea is amazing. The sandwiches are yummy. Would recommend anyone to try.
The staff were really friendly and helpful! If you are new to these kind of tea shops this is a great place to go because they are nice and explain or answer questions. It was only my second time getting boba tea and this place made it easy and not intimidating at all! It’s also cute and has a good vibe. Relaxing place to sit and drink tea. Also tea was really yummy!!!
I Love coming to Lily’s and trying a new drink every time! My favorites are definitely the egg coffee and lychee green tea with lychee popping pearls. The food is always great, I love the spring rolls and the teriyaki chicken banh mi :)
Delicious!! I ordered the tofu banh mi and the Lychee green tea with fruit jellies. The sandwich was so refreshing, and I loved the pickled veggies, bread and the spice of the jalapeños! The tofu was seasoned nicely. The Lychee Green Tea was just what I needed as a sweet treat! It was fruity and the addition of fresh lychee fruit was enjoyable. I loved the fact that you can adjust the sweetness and ice amounts of the drinks! I will definitely be back for more.
I love Vietnamese food, and after seeing so many great reviews, I was really excited to visit Lily, coffee, tea, and bread. However, I was very disappointed by the quality of drinks and food. We ordered the Mango Oolong Tea and Matcha tea. The mango tea was so sweet you could not taste mango or oolong and the advertised portion of mango topping is deceiving. I expected a heaping of mango chunks instead I got a sprinkle. The Matcha tea had a distinct flavor of bubblegum. I don’t know how they managed that. Additionally we got the Chicken Teriyaki Banmi and Pork Belly Ban mi. I don’t recommend the chicken, as it tasted like boiled chicken in sauce. The saving grace was the pork belly ban mhi and their soft and crispy French bread. I really loved the tender pork belly with its crispy skin and pickled veggies. I only wish there was more meat to fill the delicious light and fluffy bread. Overall, I wouldn’t come back and I’m surprised it has such high ratings.
