This is a definitely a hidden gem worth visiting! I happened to be in the area and remembered I had been here once before, but figured it was time for a return trip. They had a ton of pastries fall themed and while they all looked quite appealing, I went for a simple blueberry scone. This was a hard decision because I was definitely eyeing that key lime pie, but then I remembered it's 9:00 in the morning and I better settle down. The scone set me back $6.80, which I think is more than fair considering its size. Everything in there is huge, especially the brownies, but you'll def get your moneys worth. When I paid, they handed me a box and I went on my way. On my way to the car I was thinking it was rather heavy for a scone, but of course when once I pulled off and started driving, I opened the box and discovered I was given the wrong order! I had to turn around and go back and once I got inside, they had it ready for me. Biting into it was like heaven. I wished it were a tad bit warmer, but it was still good. I love pastries that use fresh ingredients and you can def tell they do at this bakery. The blueberries oozed with each bite and really complemented the other flavors associated with the scone. I suggest taking your time to savor each bite and because it's huge, so you'll get full quickly. I def made the right choice and despite the order mix up, I'd certainly visit again. read more

Lydia's is quite lovely. Located in a rehabbed warehouse near the Streets of St. Charles, this is the kind of place to get away and focus, relax, or visit with friends. Large, airy, and cozily-decorated. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and tables, a cute bar, and a beautiful case of sweets. I had the Hello Sweetie Refresher and a couple of macarons, and I'll come back and try more of their menu. The price is good, and the staff is super friendly. Easy to miss. Large black warehouse, semi-tucked away. Use the computer map in your pocket. read more

First time here and it's very nice. If you've had Sugar and slice you know their baked goods are amazing. The atmosphere casual but still nice. The building has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The display case looked amazing with different assortment of baked goods like cookies, cheesecakes, pies and even spirit and cocktails. The service was very nice and inviting. They even greeted me upon entering. Definitely recommend. read more

This is a well deserved one-star. Came in this evening with a pocket full of cash, expecting to try a lot of their good offerings. Was told to sit down and wait for a server. So, we sat and sat. Server walked past several times, no acknowledgement. Our group took a vote and decided to leave. To Picasso's we went and were VERY happy with Picasso's. When we left Lydia's, asked if we had done anything wrong and they said "no, your server was busy." Probably won't go back. Too many other good options in the area. read more

Great sweet, great treats, great drinks! I love their espresso martinis as a desert drink. They are sweeter than I usually like but as a desert they are perfect! They also have a spicy mule that was so refreshing! The chocolate chip cheesecake is to die for! Such a cute and quaint space in st Charles! Alcoholic drinks are around $15 a drink. Mocktails are between $8-10. Parking can be tough depending on the time you go. read more

Lydia's Café is in a prime spot right along the Riverwalk in St. Charles, which immediately makes it an appealing place to stop and relax. They're open late on weekends (until 11pm), which is a nice bonus since many cafés close early. The space is nicely decorated with a cozy, welcoming ambiance, and they even have games available if you want to hang out with friends for a while. We visited on a Saturday around 2pm and ordered a regular latte, drip coffee, and a slice of cheesecake. Unfortunately, the coffee was the weakest part of the experience. The beans had a noticeably sour taste, and the latte itself felt a bit weak and lacking in richness. The cheesecake was decent--nothing extraordinary--but the slice was very generous in size. On the positive side, the service was friendly and attentive. Lydia's also seems to offer more than just a typical café experience. They occasionally host fun activities like cake decorating classes, and they promote catering services for weddings and celebrations, which could make it a versatile venue for events. Overall, Lydia's has a great location and a pleasant atmosphere for hanging out by the river. With some improvement to the coffee quality, it could easily become a standout café in the area.

Came here because I saw it on Instagram and it's so cute! They do such a good job with their social media. Came here on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy around noon. The workers were all really nice and helped me pick out a good drink. Everything came out quick and I had no wait in line. Got two coffees, a cookie and a cupcake. The coffees are really good and the baked goods options were plentiful. So many yummy looking things to pick from! The decor was soo cute and if I lived closer I'd come more often. Was some girls with their laptops doing work which is such a good idea. I would totally come back for a girls night cocktail. read more

A delightful spacious coffee shop that I wish was closer to home. I don't eat many sweets and wish there were more savory options on their breakfast menu, but the cannoli pistachio cheesecake is exquisite. Great coffee served to your table with a smile. Will go back any time I'm in the area. read more

I know there's several good places in St Charles, but coming from SoCo, that's a bit of a hike - so that's my excuse for not making it here until now. Let me tell you, it is worth the drive. Super friendly and patient staff, which is good, because there are so many delicious looking sweets on display. I ended up with a delicious scone and a bourbon flavored cold brew. It had a longer name, but bourbon was the dominant flavor, which is something you rarely see around here. Even though I mostly drove there for the coffee, it is that cheddar everything scone that will keep me coming back. So unexpectedly good. I did also sit around for awhile, and it seemed like a comfortable place to hang out. read more

Lydia's has quickly become one of my absolute favorite coffee shops in St. Charles! The vibe here is so inviting--plenty of seating, easy parking, and the kind of atmosphere that works just as well for a solo work session as it does for catching up with friends. I could even see it being a fun spot for a bachelorette brunch. The drinks are excellent--I've tried the brown sugar latte, s'mores latte, and strawberry shortcake latte, and all three were terrific. They've got a great variety, so it's fun to mix it up each visit. The chocolate chip cookies deserve a special shoutout too...honestly some of the best I've ever had. The staff is always so sweet and helpful, especially when it comes to recommending baked goods. You can tell they actually enjoy making sure you leave happy. Plus, they leave personalized handwritten notes on the drinks. Highly recommend Lydia's--whether you're local or just passing through, it's a must-stop coffee shop! read more

What an adorable place for a sweet drink and pastry. I had the espresso martini. It was simple yet delicious. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The decor is dainty and inviting. It is definitely a girls' place. I liked the variety of seating options as well.

Cute and cozy little bakery/coffee shop/drink place. Cases full of bakery items, all of which looked delicious. Settled in a peanut butter cookie and brown sugar latte today. Both equally scrumptious. The cookies are HUGE had to take half home. I will definitely be back to try more. Menu also had some small bites/dips and sandwiches. Boozy drink options available as well. Perfect place for an afternoon catchup with family or friends. Steady stream of people in and out on an early Saturday afternoon. read more

This place is so cute! I have heard of Lydia's and I have been wanting to try it and my friend and I finally got to. We went on a Wednesday and at first we were the only ones in there but then it really started to pick up. To drink I got the Lydia special latte with almond milk and to eat I got a bacon, cedar, ranch pastry. For the pastry the lady at checkout told me what it was but I forgot. My latte was really good and the pastry was delicious. It was really light and fluffy and the perfect little breakfast. I also really liked the flavors in the latte, they were Carmel and vanilla. My friend and I loved the vibe of this place and it was super cute! We will definitely be coming back for their happy hour! read more

Here's something I love: stuffing my face with a giant slice of cheesecake while the crossfit gym people next door run around the parking lot. I also love that they stylize their name the same way I do, with a big flourish on the "L" I've been twice now, and both times were delightful. The monthly changing cocktail menu is reason enough to return at least that often. read more

You can even get one of their drink flight specials. This is definitely a cool hang out spot. Grab your friends and check them out. They also have a selection of games you can play while you enjoy your treats. I enjoyed an oatmeal cookie, it was chewy, moist and delicious. They have cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, macaroons and more! Very cute spot to visit in St.Charles. It's in a big parking lot so there's plenty of parking available. read more

I visited LYDIA'S today and absolutely loved it! I don't know if it was their vibe, their drinks, or just the friends I went with, but it was a time I want to do all over! I'm not a big sweets person, so didn't get any desserts, but their drinks were perfect. Not super sweet and refreshing. I gave up coffee for lent so I didn't get to try their coffee this time around, but it looked delicious and they have monthly specials. I just hope I can make it in time by Easter to try their Lucky Charms Latte! They had some games to play there, too. My friends and I were playing "what's that gibberish" and "banned" and it was so much fun. Staff were so sweet, friendly, and attentive! They have a huge parking lot! (No street parking!) Yay! read more

This sweet spot is located in an unassuming spot between Main Street St. Charles and the Family Arena. There is a large, shared parking lot with 3 parking spots dedicated for 10 minute to-go spots. Opening the front door was like stepping into a dream. It's so lovely inside! The colors, the lighting, the scent of vanilla. Lydia's has excellent service with a friendly and caring staff. If you want the best selection of baked goods on the weekend, get there before 11 am. read more

This was a very cute place, a place that I want to come back to when I have more time to explore more. With my GPS I drove right by it the first time only to turn around and pull in. Driving by you don't spot the café right off the bat. It is at the end of a big building that has a few different shops. It is tucked back in the corner right next to CrossFit. I must admit, it was quite amusing to sit outside with my mocktail and cookie and watch the CrossFit people running back-and-forth next-door, with the music blasting. Hands-down, the place is adorable! There were about five tables for outdoor seating. The one thing I noticed is that when people left, they left their cocktail glasses, dirty plates, etc. right outside and they were still all there when I left about 35 minutes later. I brought cup and plate in when I decided to go back in to bring some treats home. They have a decent selection of pastries from scones, huge cookies, (I had the brookie....delicious!) cookies and cream cheesecake (which was gluten free), mini cakes, cupcakes, brownies and more! Their menu had a variety of coffees and lattes. They also have a bar there where you can order cocktails, seltzers, beers, spritzes, wine and mocktails. I ordered a blackberry mocktail. The berries sat atop the glass on a cute toothpick adorned with a little pearl bead. It was a nice touch! It was also delicious! On the way out I ordered a carrot cake cupcake, one of their mini cakes and the cheesecake. I definitely want to come back and bring some of my girlfriends. It is very close to the AMC movie theater so it would also be a perfect place to stop before or after a movie. With indoor and outdoor seating is perfect place all year round. I can't wait to go back again and see what new treats they have. read more

I visited Lydia's with Lydia C and another friend not because of Lydia's name, but because someone else recommended it. I loved pretty much everything about Lydia. The decor/design/colors. The baked goods!! The delicious cocktails. Everything! The pastries are so soft and fresh. It's been a few weeks since my visit, but you can see my photos for the details I'm not covering. I am very much looking forward to returning. I could go once a month easily. It's one of those places that you visit and think you could eat there every night. read more

My book club picked Lydia's for our September meeting and it is going to become a regular in our rotation! The treats were incredible - the pumpkin roll that is currently on the menu was gone in less than 5 minutes! The coffee was delicious and not overly sweet which is a huge win in my book. The spritz's were worth the price and that is not something I say often! Finally, the scones were delightful - the perfect balance of crumbly but not dry that I did not know was possible. This spot was perfect for sitting and chatting with friends and despite staying for a while we never felt like we were taking up space too long. I am so excited for this adorable spot to be a staple for us! read more

Oh my goodness, words can describe how amazing this place is! Inside is just so cute and aesthetically pleasing. And the pastries are to die for and so creative. I stopped by for some items to go. It is impossible to have just one bite of an item. After one bite, I wanted to devour each item. It was soooo hard not to eat my whole box in one sitting. I've already shared the word about Lydia's with my friends and we will back to enjoy the inside and drinks next weekend! read more

I saw on Facebook that Lydia's had opened recently. It's tucked away on the River rd near a CrossFit gym. I imagine a large part of the business is selling coffee to gym people. The place is well decorated and the few pastries they had mid morning on a Monday looked nice. I ordered a hot tea and an oatmeal cream pie to-go. Took a long time to put that tea bag in a cup of hot water. The oatmeal cream pie was frozen. It never occurred to me that was a possibility. Later when it thawed out it was good but not fresh. I'm sure this is a great place to go if you're around anyway but I wasn't feeling the frozen food. read more

The cocktails are all delicious, there's something for everyone to love! read more
