Poor service and disappointing food. One of the ham and cheese croissants I ordered was simply forgotten, and they were not warmed despite being asked whether I wanted them heated. The coffee was mediocre at best. The croissants themselves tasted at least a day old, very dry, doughy, and stale. I was genuinely looking forward to visiting, but between the stale food, inattentive service, and underwhelming atmosphere, the experience was a letdown.

Probably the best patio at the best location of the town to see, to hear and to feel Lillooet… the rugged landscape, the traffic, the tourists and the true locals.

I’m a matcha fan and my partner is a lavender fan- on the first day of us being in Lillooet, we got an iced oat matcha and my partner got an iced lavender oat latte prior to us going to the lake. We’ve been here two days in a row now. 🫣 Don’t let the price deter you- every drop is worth it. As a matter of fact, we might have to get those two drinks again on our way out of town tomorrow. Oops, it’s a bit dangerous! 😅😛💛 Apart from the delicious drinks, you can tell the people work here really care. The baristas who made our drinks (same person, sorry I didn’t catch your name!!) is extremely kind and accommodating, and the baker suggested some delicious treats to us to go with the drinks (please, get the cinnamon bun for me when you see it!!) I’m already sad leaving this behind in Lillooet 🥲

If you're traveling through or passing by Lillooet, BC, I highly recommend stopping at Abundance Artisan Bakery & Cafe. It’s the perfect place for a quick break, their homemade croissants are absolutely delicious, buttery, and flaky, and they pair perfectly with a drink of your choice (great coffee and tea options!). The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the cozy interior makes it a relaxing spot to unwind. Plus, you get to enjoy your break with a beautiful mountain view, such a peaceful and scenic setting. Whether you're on a road trip or just exploring the area, this cafe is 100% worth a visit!

Had a great experience at Abundance Artisan Bakery! The service provided by the guys there was outstanding—very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was just perfect. Highly recommend—definitely a 5-star place!

A great local cafe right at the corner of Main Street. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or need a quiet space to work for a few hours, this spot hits the mark. Free parking is available just beside the café. The AC is cool inside and perfect for those hotter Lillooet days. Plenty of seats inside with beautiful photography on the walls. I ordered the chocolate croissant and a large iced coffee. The croissant was no joke: it’s super dense and rich - enough to count as a full meal. Haha So if you’re looking to carb-load or just want something hearty to go with your coffee, this is the place.

We have stopped here three times while traveling through and sadly, this will be our last visit. The coffee was decent but both the blueberry cinnamon bun (barely any cinnamon?) and the sandwich were mediocre. However, it was the service that was the biggest turn off. We have had the same surly brunette woman serve us on the last two visits. Thought maybe she was having a bad day the first time but we got the same attitude this time too! While we waited for our food, we observed her dishing up a large serving of grumpy to all the other customers as well. No thanks. But maybe she's the employee who is exempt from the good customer service policy.

We stopped here for lunch during our roadtrip before heading to the winery. The veggie sandwiches were super nice and tasty. The pecan pie was delicious ! The selection was really nice and all reasonably priced.
