Really liked the atmosphere at this cafe, and the outdoor area was cute. The matcha latte was really good and the pistachio croissants were delicious, it was similar to the pistachio croissants you can find in Italy!

This coffee shop is truly a hidden gem! Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with friendly smiles and warm hellos. The staff here are not only professional, but genuinely kind and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure you’re happy.
This place has heart, and it shows. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great service, friendly staff, and the best coffee and pastries in town. ☕❤️🥐

Il Giardino di Lilli in La Jolla is a charming Italian spot with a cozy, garden-like atmosphere that feels both intimate and inviting. The staff are warm, attentive, and make every guest feel like family. Dishes are made with high-quality, fresh ingredients—simple, authentic, and full of flavor. The menu features crisp, vibrant salads and perfectly crafted Italian-style paninis that showcase the kitchen’s attention to detail. While there can be a wait during peak hours, the ambiance and exceptional food make it more than worth it. A true hidden gem where great service and top-tier ingredients come together in the best way.

Came for the almond croissant… very buttery and slightly flaky - both pluses. But the was a small dollop of almond cream in the center - a minus. Hubbie’s sandwich is a 5/5 - “perfectly toasted, perfectly tasty”. Service staff was working diligently on Memorial Day (+++).

I’m here today for the third time and coming back specially for the pistachio croissant, it’s amazing!Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. The staff were kind and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable! Special thanks to Isabela, Celina, Yasmin and Jessica :)

Everything I ate was seriously delicious. The food is great, exceeded all expectations. however their staff is quite rude.
An absolute familial, vibey atmosphere in a beautiful setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. Feels like somewhere you could spend hours, and I’m sure many do. Solid coffee and pastries, but the atmosphere and service is what will absolutely make me return.

Absolutely loved this cafe! The space is stunning—filled with fresh flowers and plants, it’s a serene little escape. The pistachio croissant was incredible, and the mortadella focaccia and date burrata tartina are must-tries.
