“This intimate Burbank spot feels like stepping into a friend's kitchen, where owner Lily's genuine warmth matches the quality of her fresh, home-style cooking and impressively crafted espresso drinks. Beyond the stellar cappuccinos and full espresso menu, it's the artisanal pastries, house-made sandwiches on quality bread, and standout dishes like their renowned clam chowder that keep regulars coming back and transforming casual visits into beloved discoveries. Whether you're ducking in for a quick americano or settling in for a leisurely afternoon, the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere and Lily's personal attention make you feel genuinely welcomed.”

We stopped by Lili's Cafe while visiting a nearby garden nursery, and I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious, fresh and had the feeling of coming from a home kitchen. Lili was warm and friendly and the cafe clearly had devoted customers, coming by for a regular visit. We enjoyed a red lentil soup, the vegetarian brie sandwich, a special bean salad, and a slice of delicious carrot cake.
Cute, homey little cafe. I had a simple ham and cheese sandwich on artisanal bread that was just great. Amazing selection of pastries and other sweets. When there make time for a cappuccino, well with it.
We visited here on the last day of our tour of CA. What a find! Lily and her team are the best. Food is fantastic and the service even better. The Clam Chowder is the best I had during my time in California. Highly recommended.
Great little spot to hop in and grab a quick americano and snack. They didn't ave drip coffee, but they did have a full espresso based menu. The blueberry coffee cake I got was absolutely delicious. Other than that, they also had a ssandwich/soup menu as well, making this spot a nice afternoon stop as well.
This place is phenomenal and just down the street from where I live. It has wonderful food and a great atmosphere. A little small, but other than that, it's amazing. Lily is a sweetheart who loves to engage in conversation with her customers. I've tried almost everything on the menu since I started going here a few years ago and the food NEVER disappoints. AND it's all SO HEALTHY!! Also, for those who say she only takes cash, I believe she now takes credit cards as well. She's taken mine several times. :) If you're looking for a cute, quaint cafe in Burbank, look no further!
