Lily's Coffee House
About This Spot
Stepping into Lily’s Coffee House feels like discovering a quietly cherished corner of Cambria where time settles into a gentler rhythm. Nestled along Main Street, this cozy café invites you to unwind, whether you’re seeking a moment of calm with a carefully crafted cappuccino or a casual gathering spot to catch up with friends. The easy flow between indoor comfort and the welcoming outdoor seating hints at a place designed for lingering—sip by sip, bite by bite.
The atmosphere here is unhurried and warm, with friendly smiles and thoughtful details shaping the experience as much as the food and drink. The aromas of freshly brewed coffee weave through the air, drawing you in like an old friend’s embrace. Patrons often gravitate toward classic yet thoughtfully elevated menu offerings that feel both familiar and a little special—like a flavorful avocado toast paired with a rich Mexican mocha or a seasonal twist on an apple chai that hints at homey comfort.
This is a spot where the small moments matter: the relaxed pace of outdoor seating under soft California light, a quiet nod from the baristas who seem to know your order before you say a word, and a sense that here, quality is found not just in ingredients but in the care shown to each visitor. It’s also a welcoming stop for travelers and locals alike, with enough variety to suit different tastes—from hearty breakfast bagels to delicate almond poppyseed scones, alongside thoughtful options for little ones and those seeking plant-based choices.
Whether you arrive craving a moment’s respite from the coast’s rush or a casual midday meal, Lily’s offers a thoughtful, unassuming refuge: the kind of place where a perfectly balanced iced Americano and a freshly baked blueberry crumble can quietly transform an ordinary day into one worth remembering.

Good coffee, specialty beverages, and sandwiches. Came here with a group of friends and got lunch and a coffee, was not disappointed. They make a seasonal apple chai that was delicious. Turkey sandwich was perfect. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and appreciated the easy bussing station.

This charming little coffee house offers plenty of outdoor seating, perfect for a relaxed visit. While the portions are on the smaller side and a bit pricey, the coffee and breakfast sandwich were absolutely delicious.

Loved everything about this place. The ladies working were so sweet. Coffee and pastries were just as good as their customer service. Definitely going to be my new spot

I stopped here while traveling up the coast recently because I had a taste for something sweet. They had the most amazing fresh apple crisp cheesecake bread! It wasn't until I had traveled much further up the coast that I realized I may have lost my creditcard there. When I called they said yes they had found it and were more than happy to mail it to my home in Iowa. Not only amazing bakery but nice honest people!

My brother and I ride our bicycles down Highway 1 (pacific coast highway) and found Linns in Cambria.. walked in and we fell in love with the bikes and gift store..vegan options for my Brother. The food is amazing.. I would recommend a blueberry muffin. The atmosphere is homey ! They make you feel welcome.. BEST IN CAMBRIA

This place can make a significant difference in starting your day off right! It is all about homely tones, and cozy seats. There is even a basket of blankets to keep yourself warm! We soaked up on vitamin D while munching on a breakfast croissant (which was perfect, by the way). The iced chai latte was smooth and creamy, I could detect spicy notes. The staff was friendly, and they made our experience special.

Went on a Bike ride from my Grandpa's house and stopped by Lilly's for some breakfast with my wife and sister. Got the grilled cheese sandwich special and the tomato soup. It was excellent!! The grilled cheese had the perfect amount of ingredients that didn't over power the others in the sandwich. The soup was hot and refreshing. They added cheese on top which was great! I also got an Iced Tea which had free refills! I will definitely be coming back when I visit my Grandpa's again!

Got the veggie scramble, it was so good I got it the next day too. A great little spot, the hot and cold lattes are good, especially with a little flavoring. My friend got a matcha latte and said it was good too. Super cute little spot and the people were nice.
