    Iced vanilla latte
    Sasha D.

    Such a cute little coffee shop, the barista / owner (?) was super friendly and kind and my iced vanilla latte was genuinely one of the best I've had in New York ... definitely worth checking out!

    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.

    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.

    What a great addition to the UWS! Besides great coffee, the place has a really cool, throwback, vintage vibe. Brick walls, comfort leather seats, a working turntable, vintage magazines, and cool artwork on their walls. And something you rarely find in NYC - a bathroom!

    As soon as you walk in you're greeted with smiles and the welcoming vibe. Lily's Roasters is such a great addition to the Upper West Side--it's exactly what the neighborhood needed. Amazing coffee, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you can tell they really care about what they do. So excited to have this place in the neighborhood!

    The best coffee on the Upper West!!! So cozy with such a unique design, and the service is always so welcoming and friendly. This spot is definitely my favorite go to for coffee and pastries. The lemon loaf is one of the best I've ever had!!!!!

    Finally made it uptown to The Hungarian Pastry Shop. The block is actually quaint and across the…read morestreet from St. John's Cathedral. Got there around 1 PM on a weekday, they were just starting to run out with some items. The pastries were very fresh & delicious in a comforting way. Got a Cardamom Bun (mild flavor, with light layer of apricot jam in the layers) & the Sacher Torte (Excellent! Austrian hazelnut flour torte, raspberry jam). I'm not familiar with a lot of the items & wish they were labeled. Would have ordered more. The cafe was *very crowded & kind of loud. The ambiance didn't seem enjoyable compared to the calm UWS streets. The outdoor tables looked calmer even though a short line blocked the front of it. There's only a line because the counter is close to the front door and little space to wait. The 2-3 counter staff was very nice & patiently answered questions (labeled & priced pastries - with ingredients/nut disclaimer still would have helped & move the line along) . Took the treats to the community garden on the corner. Keep exploring NYC y'all!

    Yummmmmmmm. Spinach…read morefeta pastry. Perfectly hefty amount of spinach with flaky dough. Hit the spot. Cherry danish. The bread itself was soft and pillowy and the cherrys were sweet and tart. Baklava. Stacked TALL. Not many layers but each nut layer was 1inch thick. If you're looking for crispy multi layered baklava, this ain't it. If you're looking for nutty goodness, this is. Did takeout, so can't say for ambiance or service. Lots of tables free at 9 on a Sunday but the line was out the door.
