点评:Named after the owners' granddaughter, Lily's is all about giving a friendly welcome and making sure their customers leave more than satisfied. If there was a better cafe in the area we'd have found it by now but for us there simply isn't, so this has become not just our regular brunch stop but also a favourite place for stocking up on (baked in-store) cake and ginger flapjack (half a dozen other varieties of flapjack are always available), as well as meat or fish pies, also freshly made in-store, on a Wednesday. In colder months, freshly made soup and a cheese scone are a favourite lunch.
All of Lily's is bijou...in the best possible way. The simple but cosy cafe seats 10 max indoors and another 8 or so outdoors (weather permitting) and owner/chef Julie and her team perform minor miracles in a very compact kitchen. Likewise, what husband Alan achieves in the rest of the establishment is equally impressive, keeping the various counters and shelves stocked with fruit, veg, meat, dairy, bread, real dairy ice-creams (in a cone or tub), tinned and dried goods, newspapers and a variety of household essentials.
Warning 1 - Julie serves great, freshly cooked food as fast as she can, so you may have a little wait when they're at their busiest but it'll be worth it, and you'll probably make friends with other regulars in the meantime.
Warning 2 - Lily's closes at 1pm on a Saturday and Sunday, 4pm on weekdays!
Top-tip - If you like sautéed potatoes but can't quite manage the large breakfast, ask for them as an extra with the standard breakfast.
翻译:Lily's 以店主孙女的名字命名,以热情友好的接待和确保顾客满意而归为宗旨。如果附近有更好的咖啡馆,我们早就找到了,但对我们来说,根本就没有,所以这里不仅是我们常去的早午餐地点,也是我们最喜欢购买(店内烤制的)蛋糕和姜饼(店内总有六种其他品种的饼可供选择)以及肉饼或鱼饼的地方,这些肉饼或鱼饼也是店内新鲜制作的,周三供应。在寒冷的月份,新鲜制作的汤和奶酪烤饼是最受欢迎的午餐。
Lily's 的一切都精致……以最好的方式。这家简单而舒适的咖啡馆最多可容纳 10 人,室内可容纳 8 人左右(天气允许时),店主兼厨师 Julie 和她的团队在非常紧凑的厨房里创造小奇迹。同样,丈夫艾伦在其他地方的成就也同样令人印象深刻,各种柜台和货架上都摆满了水果、蔬菜、肉类、奶制品、面包、真正的奶制品冰淇淋(筒装或桶装)、罐头和干货、报纸和各种家庭必需品。
警告 1 - Julie 会尽快提供美味、新鲜烹制的食物,所以当他们最忙的时候,您可能需要稍等片刻,但这是值得的,而且您可能会在此期间结识其他常客。
警告 2 - Lily's 周六和周日下午 1 点关门,工作日下午 4 点关门!
小贴士 - 如果您喜欢炒土豆,但无法吃下丰盛的早餐,可以要求将其作为标准早餐的额外菜品。
