On weekends,Lilies on the Park brims with customers of all ages attracted to the green surrounds,nearby playground,cycle paths and easy parking.
The Friday morning we visit,the cafe is quiet,with a few customers lounging on huge daybeds. Every table is outdoors but the massive awning and heaters create a snug space.
Our mellow Grinders cappuccinos ($3.30/$3.80) arrive quickly,followed by a tangy banana and honey smoothie ($6).
The cafe is licensed and sells a good range of Tease teas and Spotted Cow cookies. The menu includes standard breakfast fare,while lunch includes burgers,soups and salads for about $15 and wraps and melts for about $8.
Our bacon-and-egg roll is matched well with a spicy tomato relish ($9) but the tortilla with mushrooms,tomato,avocado,spinach,cheese and capsicum ($7.50) looks a little wilted and is light on filling.
The staff are friendly but can't tell us much about our glazed orange cupcake ($4.50),which is plainly presented. Given the glorious location,a small push could raise Lilies a notch into the complete package.
