Lili & Oli

Excellent service! Rapide et efficace! Emballage attrayant! L'odeur du bon café transcendait le colis :)

I was looking for a new roaster to get my coffee beans from, so after stumbling onto Canal, I was very excited to place my first order. The Lili & Oli blend looked great, so I went with that. When the coffee came in 2 days later, I was so excited, but sadly this is when the disappointment started. I have a very capable setup, and after 8 shots of trying to dial it in, I gave up. No matter how many variables I change, the shot stays the same: thin and sour. Also, the roast was marketed as medium-dark, but it leans medium to medium-light. A waste of money, unfortunately.

Nous commandons notre café Lili & Oli depuis 2022 et nous l'adorons toujours autant. La qualité est constante, le café est excellent et le service est toujours impeccable. Une entreprise locale que nous recommandons sans hésitation!

When I arrived in Montreal 15 years ago, Lili & Oli quickly became my neighbourhood coffee spot. I loved Pat and the whole gang there, and they made me feel at home when I was new to the city. So few things are reliable in Montreal, but no matter what, I always had Lili & Oli. At the cafe, we watched neighbourhood kids turn into teenagers and then adults. Of course the location moved, regulars came and went, and the neighbourhood changed drastically over the years, but I always looked forward to waking up in the morning and knowing I could get a f***ing great cup of coffee. I was devastated when I had to move back to my hometown on the east coast a few months ago. I spent my last days in the city grieving and drinking excellent cortados in the freezing rain. I still miss Montreal and the neighbourhood so much, but I'm happy that I was able to order my usual Lili & Oli beans and have a familiar pleasure delivered to my new home so far away. The package arrived promptly and the beans are as delicious as ever. I have one small wish – the large 2.2kg bag would be great if it could be resealed like the smaller bags. I will need to find a better storage solution, but it's not a deal-breaker. I'm just so happy to have the coffee I love again, and to spend a few minutes each morning remembering the great times I had in my previous life. Thanks for everything. Miss you guys. xoxo

Super bien équilibré, riche sans être trop amer. Doux, savoureux et parfait au quotidien!
