Lilly's Café — Restaurant in East Los Angeles

This bakery has to be the pinkest store I have ever been to. Putting that to the side I say the service is very welcoming and presentation is second to non. As small as the location is, it has a lot to offer. Now with that being said. I didn't find the bake goods to my liking, I don't know if the people in that region prefer their style over regular baked goods, for ex. I ordered a coffee cake and a tiramisu 'cake' - so what I got was cakes that had tiramisu flavors, sort of. and a cake that had a coffee taste. And I also ordered a vanilla cone, but the filling was more of a butter cream type than like an eclair filling type. So it's not fair to judge on my bias. But I will compare it to other details from other small cafes. I found that the baked goods tasted like they were baked from the night before and not in the morning like some others do. It's not stale but it's not as appealing as other cafe offerings. I do want to note that this location does offer a certain collection of KETO treats which is hard to find in a bakery type location, so major...

The coffee isnt good, it tastes too sugary. Their lattes arent made from real coffee its just powder, you have to add a shot in order to get real coffee. I ate their crossant It was decent. My friend got their matcha and it wasnt good. We had to throw them away because it was that bad. Most of their stuff is made with just powder and not real coffee. Its really cute inside and they make them pretty but I was really disappointed in the quality. Its pretty pricey for just getting powder instead of actual coffee. I had the horchata latte, didnt taste bad but had no coffee in it. Just made from powder and even though its called a latte its not made from espresso like real lattes are. I feel that if they made their drinks with real expresso like an actual latte should be like it be good. I think for a coffee shop they should know the difference between coffees...

The coffee was not good in my opinion. I ordered a mazapán latte and it didn’t taste any mazapán. It was more of a chocolate and cinnamon flavor since they put a lot of cinnamon powder on top. It tasted more like a blend of flavors. For a latte it was overwhelming. Too much cinnamon powder overpowered the whole drink. You can barely taste any coffee.

The service was good and I love their cute aesthetic. I really wanted to like this place which was recommended by someone.

To my response, mine did have a lot of cinnamon along with my sisters who ordered a biscoff coffee. If this was a mistake than I don’t know what to tell you. Mine had cinnamon powder (mazapán latte) I’ve taken a picture of the lid with cinnamon...
