Lilly's coffee house is located in the heart of the little town of Cambria and the perfect spot to fuel up on coffee and a light meal. The inside is very quaint with a perfect amount of small town charm. They have a lovely outdoor area with plenty of seating, perfect for catching up with loved ones. I ordered off the seasonal menu which was just perfect as I was in a pumpkin spice mood, and I split a blackberry bacon grilled cheese with my mom for a snack. It was very unique and flavorful. The staff are always very friendly and helpful which is great when I am stumped on what to get. Make sure to check out Lily's and be sure to check their hours as they close early in the afternoon. read more

Stopped by before heading to Hearst Castle and so glad I did! It's super tiny inside, but there's lot of seating outside. Workers were super helpful answering questions and were super friendly! Mediterranean Bagel (5/5 stars) - Never thought to do this flavor with a bagel but it works so well! It was so freshing and strong in flavor. Absolutely loved this! Caprese Panini (5/5) - This tasted so good, but I do wish the cheese was a little more melted. Matcha Latte no sugar added (5/5) - The matcha was actually mixed completely which other places usually have clumps. I can also taste the matcha, so they put enough in it! Great option for those of us who don't drink coffee. Overall, super cute coffee shop with delicious food! read more

While on a mini vacation in Cambria we came here for breakfast and coffee. It was busy so it was a good sign. We ordered a breakfast burrito which was ok, wish there had potatoes in it. It was only eggs, cheese and avocado. My son got a breakfast panini which was delicious. My iced coffee tasted good, and my husband enjoyed his americano. Cute cafe on Main st right next to the garden shed. Lots of outdoor patio seating. Great ambience. Customer service not so friendly. Overall a great place to stop by for breakfast or lunch. read more

Cute little breakfast spot on a Main street in Cambria that's within walking distance from lots of little shops ( The Garden shed next door is so CUTE)!!!! There is limited seating indoors but plenty of seating outdoors perfect for enjoying the beautiful costal weather. Staff were kind and helpful with any menu questions and substitutions. Lots of options on the menu and plenty of drink options as well! As for what I ordered Breakfast burrito no meat was good just wish they would add some breakfast potatoes. Did come with a side of fruit which was very fresh and tasty! Orange juice was not freshly squeezed and didn't taste as fresh as I would've wanted Gingerbread iced latte was delightful Breakfast croissant was delicious! Definitely worth a try! read more

Lily's Coffee House - Sheena - Cafes Near Me - Cambria, California

Stopped in for breakfast on our last morning in Cambria. Lily's offers a big outdoor patio, and luckily dog friendly. Options of abundant pastries, coffee, bagel/ croissant sandwiches, burritos, bowls, and seasonal offerings. We ended up ordering two hot chocolate and breakfast burrito with sausage to share. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the patio and our items. Everything was delicious and everyone was so friendly. Would happy come back next time we're in town. read more

Lily's coffee house has a similar feel to Starbucks, but is friendlier with a small town atmosphere. The server Galen who was working on our visit on Thursday morning was super pleasant and friendly. Business was steady but it did not get crowded during our visit. It was quiet to average noise level. It seemed to be a mix of older regular customers and some tourists like us. The bagel sandwich was very good, but the breakfast burrito was just tastier. Depending on what you feel like, either will be a nice breakfast. Unfortunately, only decaf Americano , no regular decaf, if you want or need that. Good selection of unique pastries. There is a shared lot and street parking. Ask for the toilet--it is shared with another business. They currently close around 3:00. They have limited inside seating with plugs and more outdoor seating. Nice place to come study or read in the morning. Overall, a good cheaper alternative to the more formal sit down breakfast places in town. Food is made to order and so a little bit long wait times, so you might not save time over a sit down restaurant, but can take your food to go easier. We got a mocha and an English breakfast tea. Both were good. Worth trying their other coffees to see how they are. Definitely recommend giving these guys a try. read more

On a week road trip where we stopped at coffee shops every day this was the standout spot! Absolutely recommend coming here for the delicious food, friendly service and cute atmosphere. I asked the barista what she would recommend and so glad I listened to her recommendation of the honey bun latte and chorizo burrito. Even the salsa that came with the burrito was tasty. Also had a iced americano and jalapeño cheddar biscuit that were positively favored as well. Pro tip: explore the stores/shops next door while sipping your latte- so magical! read more

Lily's Coffee House - Mediterranean bagel - Cafes Near Me - Cambria, California

This is a charming coffee shop Café with delicious beverages, a fun ambience, and scrumptious sandwiches. It's right next to the garden store on Main Street. What's delightful about it is the garden ethos is over in this café as well. It's so refreshing to sit outdoors in a beautiful calming environment with the trickling fountain and all the beautiful plants. Service was great and the man taking our order was really fun and personable. This café is only open for breakfast and lunch and closes by about 2:30 PM so just keep that in mind. However, they had some of the most delicious sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Certainly, this place should not be missed. Although another local restaurant is quite famous with their desserts and all, this is a wonderful place to have a relaxing, calm, delicious bite of food or even just a cup of coffee or tea. Absolutely not to be missed. read more

Darling. Perfect place to work and have some nibbles and pretend I've got a beautiful garden behind my imaginary cottage. Certainly doesn't hurt that it's right next to The Garden Shed! read more

A nice neighborhood coffee shop, very nice ambiance, there's small indoor area and large outside patio and a little bench in front of the entrance for you to hangout in while you have your coffee or breakfast. This is definitely a small cafe for a small town, so if you are like me and came here during a long weekend (LDW), they aren't as fast as going to like a starbucks or peets and there will be a line, just so you know what you're getting into. But if you're not in a rush, then this spot is perfect to hang out and dawdle for a second. We were kind of in a rush, but we got cold brews so that wasn't too bad of a wait. We tried their cardamom coffee cake and black and white cookie. They were both ok def better with some coffee to pair it with. We did not try any of their made to order breakfasts. read more

This was our first time visiting Lily's and it was a great experience! I ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel with sausage... the husband ordered a bacon burrito and we drank a macchiato hot coffee and took one to go... we also tried a brownie because we just couldn't say no. We sat outside with our group and it was set up super cute... not only that there were furry friends all around us. They had a big water bowl for them it was super cute. The staff were very nice and attentive... we will definitely be back to visit and very soon. read more

Its a nice little coffee spot. The food and coffee are all curated perfectly. Simple food but good quality food.

My wife and I decided to try Lily's after seeing the great reviews and were hoping it would live up to the hype. We ordered a vanilla latte, a hot chocolate, and a Mediterranean bagel. Service was short, not particularly friendly. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were disappointing. My latte tasted burnt, and my wife's hot chocolate tasted like cheap chocolate syrup rather than real cacao with sugar. The Mediterranean bagel was especially underwhelming for the $14 price -- there was barely any cream cheese, and it lacked seasoning or salt. After we finished eating, my wife later told me about an interaction inside that i found upsetting. I stayed outside with our dog while she brought our plates in, and when she attempted to hand the cashier our plates she was told to instead place them in a bin on the floor. Since she is very obviously pregnant I found that in bad taste. We really wanted to like this place because the outdoor seating area is cute, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

milky matcha, no taste :/ no good , bagel was nice, coffee is good nothing crazy . j

What a cute shop! Getting coffee and breakfast. Nestled in the heart of Cambria. The staff were kind and welcoming, even with the 6 kids we had with us! Be sure to check out their seasonal drinks! read more

Honestly some gooood hot chai! I ordered it with oat milk and vanilla. I was also kind of hungry so I got one of their breakfast bagels with ham. It was really good and they're not stingy with the ingredients. I really enjoyed it + it came with a little fruit cup. There was plenty of seating outside as well and some seats inside. It was kind of busy but I can see why. A cute little spot & perfect for a quick morning snack. read more

Cambria is the cutest oceanside town ever!!! We went in mid-morning and they already had a couple customers seated inside and outside. They have the cutest location and the cutest staff. Wish I hadn't had the free hotel breakfast, otherwise I would have tried their breakfast burrito or another food item. The matcha was top 10-20 for sure!! And they also sell artisan products on the shelves to the left of the counter. read more

Stopped here during a quick little road trip. The food was excellent quality. Service was great. Highly recommend.

Lovely and inviting, this coffeehouse boasts both newcomers and regulars who enjoy the hot coffee and tea options along with breakfast bites. We were greeted by a hearty Good morning! by the staff and a table of older gentlemen regulars. I felt welcomed and knew this was a place where people are happy to hang out. We ordered a Mediterranean open-faced bagel, a drip coffee, a hot chocolate with whip cream and a chai latte. Sitting outdoors in the covered patio was so peaceful, with soft easy listening music, birds chirping, the aroma from jasmine vines and lavender flowers gently wafting in the breeze. If you're ever in Cambria, make sure to stop by to be refreshed. read more

I wouldn't recommend the strawberry matcha as it is of low quality. The lattes are okay. The breakfast burrito is alright but it is small. We got the Mediterranean Bagel and were given the option to get bacon strips for 6 extra dollars. When we got the bagel there was no bacon and were told they don't offer bacon anymore. The workers were kind though. read more

My husband and I decided to try Lily's because of the excellent reviews here, and we were really hoping to enjoy it. We ordered a vanilla latte, a hot chocolate, and a Mediterranean bagel. The service was okay, but not particularly friendly. Unfortunately, the drinks and food were disappointing. My husband's vanilla latte tasted very burnt, and my hot chocolate tasted like straight Hershey's syrup. The $14 Mediterranean bagel was especially underwhelming -- there was barely any cream cheese, and it lacked seasoning or salt. For the price, it should have been excellent. When we finished eating, I went inside and asked the cashier if I could hand her the tray from my bagel. She pointed to a bin on the floor and told me to put it there myself. I did, but I found this quite rude, especially since I'm pregnant and bending down is not easy. I really wanted to like this place because the outdoor seating area is cute, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Probably the best breakfast place here in town! They make your food fresh! Wide variety of coffee selections! Croissant sandwich and breakfast bowl worth coming back to! Definitely a must-visit when in Cambria! read more

Coffee wasn't that great and took forever for food. Also service wasn't that friendly... just go to Cambria Coffee instead. Their coffee is amazing and they don't take 20 min to warm up your croissant. read more

Excellent breakfast and coffee. Indoor seating is limited, so arrive early or be prepared to sit outside. A nice trim menu with excellent egg featured breakfasts. Mellow music in the morning is a plus! Too many places blast pop music from opening to closing. Breakfast is fast and piping hot, and the coffee cake is a nice addition to good coffee. The staff is patient and pleasant. read more

This was my first time at Lily's Coffeehouse. Quaint and quiet, I ordered a breakfast burrito. The price was really fair and the service extraordinary. All of the employees were very professional and friendly. When I ate the food, I was over the moon at which the flavor was incredibly delicious! I would definitely recommend this place for fine coffees and very fast and delicious food. Thank you Jillian! read more

Cute, quaint coffee/breakfast shop in Cambria. My friend and I split the breakfast sandwich and Mediterranean bagel. The breakfast sandwich had a jalapeño cheddar bread and we added bacon. It was rich, greasy and the perfect hot sandwich for a rainy day. The bagel was fresh, light and a wonderful balance to the heavy sandwich we shared. Some of their coffee options were no longer available, which is the ding on one of the stars. We arrived on a Saturday morning around 930am and a lot of what they had listed was not available. I opted for the large coffee, but you also had to pay for refills. read more

Stopped her off recommendation on my way home. First this place is small but very cute with lots of outside seating. My latte and natal sandwich was delicious. However I was not impressed with the service. I wasn't welcome when entering and I felt like I was bothering them. As I sat and waiting for my food I watched the same interaction with other customers. The staff could improve on being more friendly and inviting, especially the girl that brings your order out. Unfortunately I probably will not revisit this place in my future trips to Cambria. read more

Cute cafe right next to the Garden Shed. Parking by the right of the Garden Shed. No public restrooms at the establishment at the moment. Cafe looked small from the outside, but turns out they have an outdoor seating area as well. I enjoyed my drink and brunch outside on the patio. Couple cute birds few by above my head a few times during my time there. I ordered a Caprese Avo Toast and a Lavender Special (earl gray with milk and a hint of lavender) Caprese Avo Toast- Totally IG worthy. Toast is topped with mashed avocado, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and a drizzle of sweet balsamic dressing. Tastes good but it's lacking a little bit of something. Perhaps salt? It's just not savory enough. Good but not wow. Lavender Milk Tea- Now this is heavenly, I could sit by the window and sip this all day. It's milky with a hint of lavender. read more

5 Stars - A Must-Visit Spot in Cambria! Lily's Coffee House is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was top-notch--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The sweet ladies working there were incredibly patient and accommodating, even with the big group of kiddos we brought along, which made the experience even more special. We ordered breakfast bowls and were blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. I highly recommend adding their hot sauce--it took the dish to the next level! We got the brownies and banana toffee scone, both were warm, soft, and absolutely delicious. My husband had the house coffee, which he raved about, and I ordered the cinnamon dolce latte--it was rich, smooth, and premium tasting. We sat outside (indoor seating is very limited especially with our family of 6), but the atmosphere was so cozy and relaxing. They even turned on the outdoor heater for us without us having to ask--such thoughtful service. Whether you're stopping by for a great meal, incredible coffee, or just want to be treated like family, Lily's is the place to go. We'll definitely be back! read more
