Good coffee and snack stop. We popped in and had coffee and a very nice turkey sandwich and maple and pecan biscuit. Recommend.

This must be our secret. Trust no one ! The above named scones fresh from the oven are among the most wondrous cakes I’ve ever had (and believe me I have, at 71, had a few!!!). So much so that we returned twice to check...on them and confirm our diagnosis ! We also tried the croissants and the sensational butter tarts. All great! Not only that but the coffee was first rate and distinctive and the service friendly AND there is a great bookshop adjoining. But like I said, don’t tell ANYONE about the scones.More

This cafe is right at the end of Main Street, Picton before the junction towards Hwy 49/Glenora Ferry and is accessible from the pavement or through Books and Co. which is the excellent adjacent book shop. This cafe nails a simple, fresh selection of bakery...items, rolls and wraps with a choice of cold and hot drinks. It is air -conditioned with wif-fi. Picton can be hot in July, so this is a great place to spend a while just chilling. Staff were friendly. Hot drinks are self-dispensed from coffee stations. We visited several times during our recent stay in Picton.More

This is a cute little Main St. café with small front and side decks. We were happy to find great quality espresso drinks and GF baking that was incredibly good. Gluten-loving people will be happy too. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The blueberry danish(es) were the best I've every tasted. Second day went back for butter tarts, croissant and chicken sandwich and again just amazed.

Have been visiting this place for years and loved it. During a recent visit was masked and one of two people in cafe but got yelled at by employee for not standing in the right place. Not asked or spoken to kindly but yelled at....Completely inappropriate. Took my business elsewhere and wont be back. It has been a tough year but courtesy is still a good business practice.More

Been coming to the County for 15 years or so. I never take the time to write reviews because so busy with life;) but just had to put it here because with no reason the staff this morning was very agressive. Maybe it’s Covid i...am unsure but with the arrival of many coffee shops now around town not a good strategy to keep loyal peeps. Also i really don’t expect ultra fake smiley i prefer authentic but agressive, no thank you....More

We’d been eating too many pastries since arriving in the area and wanted a healthier lunch. Found Miss Lily’s through Google Maps. The cafe is on a busy street but there is inexpensive paid parking on both sides of the street. For lunch, we had...the turkey, cheese, lettuce and ghost peppers, with sriracha mayo sandwich, one on marbled rye bread, the other on whole grain bread. I was worried it would be too hot. Not at all. It was delicious! An Americano coffee to go and we were happy.More

We stopped here for morning coffee and pastries for 2 days in a row because our accommodation didn't serve food. Good covid precautions are in place including coffee add-ins done by the staff - no self service. There was limited seating available outside - only...one table in the shade but we found a gazebo around the corner up the street. The usual coffee options were available. The pastries were outstanding. We tried scones, turnovers and sour cherry danish - ALL fresh and delicious!More

Lovely coffee shop with fantastic blueberry turnover and latte with soy milk💕. Only one outdoor table though and no indoor seating at this tome of Covid 19.

Stopped in for breakfast before a self-curated butter tart, wine and craft-beer tour. It's a cute spot directly connected (inside) to a boutique bookstore. Streamlined breakfast options including things you can do with a bagel (toasted, cream cheese, egg sandwich etc), a few danishes and...a quiche option as I recall. They embrace specialty coffees. A clean, pleasant space. A bit expensive... almost $10 for 2 bagels with butter and 1 drip coffee. I think 2 chairs for out front seating.More

Lots more competition in the county now and in visiting 3 times over the past few weeks it’s too bad that this place is loosing that original cafe feel! May be the staff could engage with customers more versus the usual “canned service “ !...Coffee is always good , but now we are seeing commercial ready to bake goods creeping into the food selection .... just too bad ! May be it’s time to rethink its market position and product and service offerings and get back “ on top” where it used to be !More
