Lilya's Café - Specialty Coffee & Eats — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

We only came for coffee - we will have to come back to try the food here at some point as it did look great! I really wanted the pistachio butter latte, but had to settle for the strawberry latte as they were out of the pistachio butter the day we went. That being said, the strawberry latte was DELICIOUS and I have never tried a coffee with strawberry flavors so good and complementary to the coffee. I hate that it's seasonal because I'd get it year long if I could!

The restaurant is nice but parking is fairly limited in the general area, so we needed to be in and out quickly. Service was okay but we realized they kind of forgot us after we sat for 20 minutes without our drinks. They lost our ticket and eventually asked us what we ordered, but being forgotten when we go out is becoming an increasingly common experience for us so we felt a little disappointed by this.

Our overall first impression was fairly good, the flavors of the coffee were great. It was a bit overpriced for the amount you get, and being forgotten about wasn't ideal - and if we were more limited on time, we may have been more frustrated. We would love to give a second chance and plan to try more of what they have to offer...

House-made syrups, strong Wi-Fi, and great vibes? Say less! I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Seriously, if you're in the area and need a caffeine fix, you HAVE to stop at Lilya's - their coffee creations are so unique and tasty (never overly sweet), the café is cozy, and their staff is always warm and welcoming so it feels like you're coming to visit family. Their head barista, Cane, really ties the whole experience together and makes it one you don't want to miss - especially if you're a fan of custom coffee/flavor combinations (he really knows what he's doing). It's also in the perfect location, away from the craziness of downtown but right off the highway and central to all of the fun in St. Pete. Literally the only negative thing I could say about them is they're closed on Mondays... cries in first world problems. If you're looking for strong coffee, great food, and a breath of fresh air - Lilya's is the...

Just discovered Lilya’s Café inside of Cybel and I’m in love! I’m currently enjoying a Chicken Mediterranean Salad with a Tiramisu Latte while getting some computer work done—and everything is so good.

From the fresh, flavorful food to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere, this place is such a gem. The customer service is fantastic too—super friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, meeting a friend, or settling in with your laptop for a work session, this café is the perfect spot....
