About Us

lil Coffea isn’t just a coffee shop,it’s a safe haven for night owls, early risers, and everyone running purely on vibes and caffeine. We’re proudly open 24/7, because hunger, creativity, and existential thoughts don’t follow business hours.

Great little coffee shop. Food and coffee all night. Drink and bar open until 2am. Comfy good vibe. Quiet music. Wes was super friendly and made delicious drinks quickly. Definitely will be back.

This is by far the best coffee shop service I’ve ever experienced in my life! Wes was the most attentive and sweet barista I’ve ever met!the almond croissant is to die for and their bagel was definitely a 10/10!

Very cute coffee shop - lots of choices, coffee, food, drinks … Staff was friendly and the patio was really nice. My friend and I sat out there for nearly 4 hours! Would definitely recommend.
