Lilys Coffee Shop - Cafe in Isle of Wight

We visited lily’s on our day trip to the IoW after seeing this place on instagram we had decided that it was a must but being a bank holiday we wernt sure if they were going to be open. To our excitement they were😁 we had ordered 2 drinks and 2 slices of their carrot cake. The cafe has a very welcoming vide about it with all they have to offer (cake wise) on show as you approach the counter. The staff were delightfully friendly and our order was ready after a very short wait (they were very busy😁)

We came to visit the isle of white over the bank holiday week as the weather was so lovely and searched the cafes we wanted to visit prior to our trip. Lilly’s did not disappoint on the cake front!! They had a good variety even on a super busy day and they were delicious. The wait time was a little while but due to the amount of customers they had we didn’t mind and took our takeaway to have by the seafront (cake with a view) great customer service throughout and nice music.

Ordered a couple of pastries, a coffee and an ice latte. Gave us pastries immediately then forgot about us and waited over 15 minutes for the drinks with no apology. Poor

Arrived in Seaview one evening and wants a quick and easy supper. Really fresh, tasty, pizzas which we ate on the beach. Really recommend.

Great stop for light lunch coffee and cakes, always enjoy a sop here, look forward to our next visit. Bacon, brie and cranberry baguette is recommended.

Warm and friendly, it's an order and then sit sort of place. Food is good and prices fair I make it my first stop after walking to Seaview

Excellent coffee and warm welcome. Plenty of parking and got flu jab at nearby Seaview pharmacy. Very friendly staff 2 visits

Lily’s cafe was a lovely discovery after a beach walk! Food and drinks very tasty. Warm, welcoming & dog friendly cafe. Highly recommend

Waitress was nice and helpful. Dog friendly. Food was OK but a bit expensive for what you get. Cafe was really hot inside with no windows and only old ceiling fans so we struggled a bit with the heat.

Super welcoming staff, dog friendly cafe, a great option for Sunday breakfast. Food was amazing with options including vegan 💚 avocado on sourdough bread is our favourite. The decoration is contemporary and super cute, really a charming place to go for a meal or even a quick coffee.

Over priced rip off. Food was substandard. Get a coffee that was half froth. Unpleasant tortilla breakfast wrap with hard unripe avocado, some sweaty scrambled egg coffee/hot choc and frozen sausage roll for £20.50 absolute day light robbery

Found Lily’s Cafe after a hasty Tripadvisor search for a dog friendly lunch spot after visiting Bembridge lifeboat station. They have a really good selection of food & drinks. I was craving something a little more healthy so went for the goats cheese, beetroot & chutney on toasted sourdough & it was perfect. The coffee & hot chocolate were also good. Staff were super friendly & the whole place had a really good vibe to it.

Lilly’s is such a fabulous place right in the heart of Seaview. We ate here every morning for a week when we were here last year and, now back on the Island, we have had breakfast here the last two mornings. I am gluten free and they were able to accommodate me without any fuss. I had the avocado on toast (g/f) with feta (both mornings) and oat milk cappuccino. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

We stopped for lunch here on our last leg of walking the IOW coastline. It was perfect, fantastic food (quiche and salad) and coffee. Lovely decor and friendly staff.

Not one apology for the long wait created by older woman behind counter putting others off their stride by flapping around like a bumblebee on steroids. Shame. Super friendly younger lady at till though. Nice coffee.

Popped in here after a wander down by the coast. Had a wonderful friendly welcome and then spotted an array of yummy cakes to tempt us with. Had the chocolate brownie and the Victoria sponge, superb. Sat outside and soaked up the warm October sunshine. Perfect.

A good place to end a walk from Bembridge or Ryde. A simple cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Not the widest menu but good, simple food. Open chicken and avocado sandwich is a decent lunch. Brownies are good. Water bowl for the dogs.

Lovely breakfast, such lovely people, we always make a point of going every time we visit IOW.. We would highly recommend!

Great for coffee and sandwiches, the bacon, brie snd cranberry baguette was excellent. They had a good selection of cakes but didn’t get to try these , look forward to visiting again for a cake.

Super breakfast & lunch menu and the staff are all lovely - would certainly recommend - plus dog friendly 🐶

great service - lovely and quaint cafe - location great for a a walk down the beach- best coffee. able to sit outside and enjoy a lovely sandwich and of course a coffee

Great coffee and sandwiches I had the bacon baguette which was excellent Have previously had the tuna mayonnaise baguette which was also great A regular stop for coffee and more

This place just buzzes! Amazing variety for breakfast served by lovely people. Great coffee and other drinks. A great place to chill out.

Out for a walk, stopped off for coffee and cake. Lovely location, friendly staff, recommend the vegan blackberry crumble and lemon drizzle cake

feeling peckish late afternoon and found Lillys still open at 4:30pm (close is 5pm). no problem, snadwiches made - great and really fresh - stayed until 5:30 eating and talking.AND good value!

Very good sandwiches and generous fillings. Manager/owner quite abrasive and service bordering on Fawlty Towers. Would definitely go back though!

Really nice we ended up coming here every morning for a coffee and slice of cake. Really friendly staff and food was good!

We’ve been popping in for ages when walking that way. Nice food, nice friendly staff and always somewhere to sit. They have a pavement license and a few tables outside as well as well spaced seating inside. It’s consistently good.

I've been coming here for years and I have never been disappointed. It is the highlight of my mother and brother's day! Staff are always friendly and polite and the coffee is wonderful, albeit rather strong, but that is the Isle of Wight blend for...

Ordered a takeaway latte and two small hot chocolates. A small hot chocolate means, to me, a hot chocolate in the smallest cup they sell. Instead I was given two normal cups with an inch and a half of hot chocolate in the bottom. And...

Popped in for a breakfast, very friendly staff and happy atmosphere. Coffee was great and food was plentiful and beautifully cooked and presented. What more could you ask for!

We love calling into this coffee shop especially after walking nearby. Twice recently we have ordered our coffees/snack and have been sitting outside waiting for it to arrive. The first time we had to go back in to chase it up as customers who arrived...

Great takeaway sandwiches. Covid arrangements limit ability to eat in and there are only a very few outside seats but, as a takeaway, this is very good.

My husband and I stopped here after a walk from Ryde and had lunch. There was seating outside and extremely helpful staff to serve. We had a sandwich and a piece of cake, both of which were lovely. All cOVID-19 regulations were in place with...

We dropped into Lily’s Coffee shop in Seaview whilst taking a mid-day break from our Bembridge to Ryde coastal walk. Being in the post Covid 19 lockdown period, the coffee shop was only doing take away drinks and snacks though there were metal chairs and...

Our final day on the island and with a bit of extra time due to a delayed ferry, we decided to check out Seaview and have a bit of lunch. We found Lily's cafe, and very glad we did. As others have said there is no seating inside due to covid, but they do have some tables outside. They have a one way system in place with a rather helpful and friendly lady (not sure if it was Lily or not) who takes your order as soon as your inside. They have a selection of pannis, baguettes, sandwiches and rolls and also some really tasty looking cakes. I couldn't resist I had to try the rocky road after she told me it was made with jaffa cake!!!! And I was not disappointed, one of the, if not the best rocky road I've had. If your looking for a nice friendly cafe for a small bite then try Lily's.

We just wanted a quick bite, and the cake was lovely. We sat outside and it was great. Well organised ordering and exit routes from small shop.

It really felt that Lily's was doing us a favour, by allowing us to purchase rolls and drinks ( No indoor seating or smiling due to COVID-19). The food was attractive and enjoyable - being marshaled less so.

Drove there from Newport, only to find that it closes at 15:00, wanted to order food at 14:37 and they said there was nothing left.

We visited Lily's coffee shop yesterday by chance, didn't even know it was there! We ordered three latte's, one with a vanilla syrup shot. The coffees were all freshly made and delicious. Nice location and friendly service, highly recommended.

Perfectly situated on the corner in Seaview with seating inside or outside. Love stopping here for coffee and light refreshments and it’s lovely to sit outside and watch the world go by on nice days. However, the service can be very slow at times even when few people in the cafe and a couple of times we have had to chase up our orders.

Excellent coffee and cake, and very friendly and welcoming service. Stopped by late Saturday afternoon during a long coast walk, a very welcome break.

Went I for coffee on wet September morning,great welcome wonderful coffee and amazing selection of home baked cakes,definitely worth a visit

Consistently good coffee, cakes and pastries. Can get busy which means you can wait for your order at certain times

Much more than a coffee shop. Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Even the loo is lovely. Great service. Will definitely be back.

I like the new kids meal - can't remember exactly what it is but something like a sandwich drink and pombears for £4. Makes a difference to be able to get a cheapish kids meal in seaview... and or to get them fed whilst having a coffee with a mate.

Breakfast twice, lunch once during our three-day visit. They were actually open for breakfast unlike some of the other establishments in the area. What really took the cake, pun intended, was the afternoon tea! Not to be missed.

Been here a lot, open all year round and does lovely bakes. The design is fantastic. The atmosphere is very friendly. Would recommend.

Lovely little spot for breakfast or lunch. The Nutella waffle is heavenly. Delicious hot chocolate and sandwiches, and very friendly service. Highly recommend!

My mum and I visited here last year and were keen to come back. We love it here. Welcoming and friendly staff, wonderful cake and an excellent lunch today. By far the nicest cafe we have visited on the Isle of Wight. Looking forward to coming back next year.

Coffee-shop agréablement agencé (dans une ancienne poste ?).

You can sit out on the high st in the sunshine or in the slightly quirky seating inside. The island blend coffee with a chocolate brownie went down well. Eat in or take away meals are available morning and afternoon.friendly staff.

I’m currently sitting outside this little gem of a place, having had a good teapigs brew and a wedge of lemon and raspberry cake. It was delightful. The ladies were very friendly, and there’s lots of posters up advertising community events. Keep up the good work!

We stumbled across this place on an off chance and I have to say, I couldn't have been more happy with what we found. I'd had to come to the island to see a gravely ill family member and had my family, dog etc with me as weren't too sure if we'd see this person again....Needless to say everyone was a bit tired and fraught and in need of being looked after. And thats exactly what we all got! From great coffee, fab sandwiches and quiche, to the fact even Baxter was given a few biscuits and some fresh water - it was exactly what we all needed for a few hours.

Very slow service, extremely over priced, poor quality of food. Very disappointed. Won’t return in a hurry. Left there feeling like we’d been mugged off

I’ve been to this cafe several times now as I live locally all I can say is that the staff seem rather lack lustre and miserable also it’s so expensive there are better cafes in the local area this is one to avoid unless you enjoy paying over the top prices for mediocre food

This is a ‘must stop’ if you are in Seaview. Lovely cafe/Tearoom run by friendly ladies who bake a constantly changing selection of fantastic cakes. It took us 5 visits to Seaview to discover this place - don’t miss out, pop in on your next visit.

Just a great coffee shop. food is brilliant and service great Have been 2 times and cannot fault either occasion, Look forward to going again soon Prices slightly on the high side but overall excellent value coffee was amazing!

What a dreadful cafe. Great location and good coffee. Appalling service. God forbid you have a question. Surly owner. What a shame. 4 doors down the high street is the community shop which is exactly the opposite.

I have a gluten intolerance and the g/f food served at this Cosy and Welcoming Cafe is so fresh and delicious. All the staff at Lily's are super friendly and always ask if everything is fine with my order, which ofcourse it always is. I know Great Customer Service when I see it and highly recommend seeing the girls at Lily's for fab homemade food and Friendly atmosphere!

Well it's afternoon t 4 2 and scones. The food is very good and fresh. Staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Lily is doing a great job.

I have visited this cafe several times now as we have a flat on the Island. The last visit although the food is good, the atmosphere is very cold. The staff are unfriendly, disinterested in making polite conversation. They need a lesson in hospitality.

This was my first visit to this cafe and the ladies were warm and friendly. The decor is quirky and fun and although it was freezing cold outside it was lovely and warm in there. My order arrived very fast and they serve teapig teas which was such a relief as so much nicer quality than bog boring twinnings. I would 100% recommend this cafe if you are ever in the Seaview area.

What can I say, this cafe is everything you could want and more. It’s cosy, quaint and full of character. The sort of place you could spend a day buried in a book with a nice coffee and a slice of cake. The sandwiches here are some of the nicest I have ever had, the baguettes even better (can’t recommend the brat baguette enough). The food is fresh, filled with flavour and totally mouth watering. There’s something nostalgic and homely about Lily’s that makes you want to stay inside, not least because of how cosy it is.

Stopped here for a coffee and tea to avoid the rain. The service was friendly and prompt. The lattes were hot and delicious and the tea was spot on. Food was being prepared for others and it looked yummy. They have an amazing high tea in the afternoon - judging by the sandwiches and treats that were served.

Came here on Saturday for a coffee & cake with my daughter. Service was great & Jane makes the best brownies! Took some treats home too & quiche was fantastic.

My friend and I had an enjoyable lunch at this sweet and cosy coffee shop. The food was made fresh,the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very much worth the visit my friend was impressed as she had never been before as it hidden away unless you know Seaview. The coffee shop is clean and lovely decorated and so was the bathroom.

perfect food and warm friendly service. will be back again! 😀. a hidden gem in the tranquil town of seaview.

Converted from old shops and still with the terracotta tiles all around the building. Very atmospheric in and out. Seats along the pavement catching the afternoon sun. Well worth a visit.

We had a few visits here which says it all really. Great cakes and snacks, coffee and more. Very popular with the locals so need I say more

Went here twice during our holiday, once just for a cuppa the other for breakfast. It's a nice walk round the coast from Ryde to Seaview where it is. His Lordship had been a few times before with his friend, who visits every day when he is on the island. They used to have a Connect 4 game for the customers but we couldn't find it, I think there was other games stacked and plenty of paper & colouring pencils for the little ones.

I called into this wonderful place as I was doing a walk on the isle of Wight from Sandown to Ryde and is on the coastal footpath

We came across this by accident not because of the shopfront which can be missed but the car parked opposite which had their branding on it! It’s on a small crossroads just up from the car park.

A charming corner tea shop, sit outside and watch the world go on holiday :-) The young staff were friendly and eager to please, clean and tidy with some interesting articles on the walls

We came across Lilys while looking for a different place and really pleased we did.

Came here for tea on a lovely hot sunny day for my nieces 21st. I have to say it was absolutely lovely. Nice sandwich's, then, when you think it is all over, the staff bring out a massive pile of cakes & scones! I am a big eater & I was stuffed! We ended up taking some home. The blueberry jam in there is the best I have ever tasted & I believe the lady serving us said the cakes were all homemade.

I only say probably because I can not claim to have sampled all the coffee available on the Isle...but in my week stay I did sample many and most of them were pretty abysmal, but NOT HERE. The coffee is excellent and could easily hold it's own against the smart London independents. Service was friendly and welcoming.

Popped in for tea and cake, nice clean and welcoming.

We have visited a couple of times now and enjoyed coffee/hot chocolate/fresh orange juice and snacks. Busy little place but we usually manage to find a seat.

We popped in here for a quick coffee when we were in Seaview and it was just lovely. Delicious coffee, nice babyccinos for the kids, yummy rocky road and bread pudding. We wished we'd had time to stay for lunch!

Never been here before. Excellent find. Not a long wait for our order to come Music was at a level that did not interrupt our conversation

Popped in for a quick coffee to break up our walk along the seafront . Prompt service, quirky decor, lovely hot flat white coffee whilst sitting on the sofa reading the papers. Friendly staff, good value.

I have visited Lilly’s twice recently and both times the food, coffee and service has been very good.

We were cold and hungry and stumbled upon this gem of a cafe. Extensive menu, just right for lunch times.

Always go in if I'm in the area. Great coffee shop with lovely cake and great tea. Nice relaxed atmosphere and staff are always welcoming. A real asset to the local community.

Lovely food ... lovely atmosphere and no hesitations at all in regards to dogs ... coffee, baguettes and cake ... definitely visiting again 👍👍

Out walking when we found this cafe...has a lovely charm and excellent service. Food was fresh and plentiful with a great selection of homemade dishes and cakes Will definitely return

Great old building, friendly and helpful staff, really good coffee and cakes and strange to say but an outstanding toilet.

A gem. We go for breakfast most days when on holiday. I can't add to the two previous reviews about the food and service as they say it all, but please note that in a village that is very much seasonal, Lily's is open all year round which is great.

We were attending a wedding on IOW and had come over on early ferry and needed sustenance before we set of for the church. Very quirky place with lots of eclectic stuff on the walls and around. Had sausage and bacon sarnie and black coffee which were fine. Looking st the cakes and pastries as we left we were sure we would have returned if we lived there. Our family knew of it and had been there themselves. Very friendly, would go again.

We are new to Seaview and have discovered Lily's cafe. The food is delicious and all handmade on the premises, the staff are lovely, the coffee is great.... It's the perfect place for a lazy breakfast or lunch. You never feel rushed and feel you're at the heart of the community.

Excellent cafe with great character, staff and service. Good coffee, scones and ambience. Always stop in when passing.

We had Breakfast at Lily's when staying in Seaview. Quirky environment, very welcoming staff and an excellent breakfast, what more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

I was b ok right tea for 2 at this coffee shop, what an absolute joy this place as to visit. The tea was supreme and I don't use that word lightly the bread was spoo very fresh, fillings a delight. The service was superb, my dog was made very welcome they had treats for her as well very highly recommend will go again.

We popped in for breakfast . In the front section there are just three tables , but other seats are available for people waiting to collect food and drinks to take away. The range of food is limited because there is no hob to fry food on .Because of the limited space , the staff seem to hinder each other , and tempers frayed a little during our visit. The food we ordered was very edible , but a little expensive. On balance we would choose somewhere else for breakfast.

We live here and didn't know the shop had been transformed into this lovely coffee shop/diner. Nice decor and menu. Cheese scones are really good and good prices as well. Worth a visit.

We visited Lily's several times during our week in Seaview. It was just across the road from our holiday rental. It's everything a cafe should be. Cosy, with a decor reflecting the owner's humorous personality I suppose. The menu was varied, with good healthy specials, and liked by both adults and kids. The service was efficient (although understandably slow when busy) and genuinely friendly. Our dog loved the water bowl and biscuits. Our teenager loved the fast wifi. If Lily's were near my home, I'd be a regular. The owner and staff should be really proud of their little gem of a place.

Truly one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, the sausages were to die for. Husband said the coffee was great not instant coffee great beans!! And could be purchased. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

We stopped here whilst walking the IOW coast path which passes the front of the shop. We were made very welcome even though we were carrying rucksacks and had walking boots on. The coffee is locally roasted ' Island Roasted' and was smooth and very enjoyable. We didn't have anything to eat although the food and cakes on offer looked delicious, I really wished we hadn't made a packed lunch as the food was very tempting. The atmosphere was lovely and the owners were making cakes whilst we were there. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

Not many options open in the winter on the IOW. We stopped here for lunch and had a pleasant experience. The cafe appeared to be operated by two ladies who were friendly. There was good choice on the menu. I had a nice baguette and my partner had soup and a toastie. We also both had excellent coffees. The cafe was decorated nicely and seemed to have a mix of clientele: oldies, workers on laptops, down from Londoners, walkers and mums.
