The signature oatmilk cappuccino is AMAZING! Highly recommend getting this drink any day of the week. Also, the cookies at this café are delicious! Thank you Theo.

Lyria cafe is an awesome cafe with a modern vibe serving great coffee and pastries. The blueberry scone I got was a delight. The interior design and atmosphere were awesome, but we could not find a place to sit down. They had One Piece on the TV, which was pretty funny.

Busy morning with a 12ish person line at 10:30am and the team of three handled it well. Enjoyed an Iced Lyria at the little table in front of the register. Hope they get a chance to find a bigger space and expand!

Just WOW. I wasn't expecting such a spacious and nice environment from a tucked away cafe. The owners were extremely friendly. They did an amazing job for their decoration and used the space surprisingly well for fitting enough seating despite relatively small space (which somehow feels relatively large). Pastries were great (especially the owners' grandma's secret recipe cookie). The coffee was delicious. Definitely worth a visit (or two, or three) and one of the easiest 5 star reviews I've given. Entrance is a bit difficult to spot but if you look hard enough, you'll see it :) .

Always busy, but the staff is very sweet and the matcha always hits. It’s my go-to spot in the Soho area when I need a caffeine boost.

Café Lyria is definitely a place you want to linger after you get your tea, coffee or croissant. The coffee ☕️ is magnificent especially the Freddo. No really its the best ever! For winter they just added a vestibule which really keeps the warmth inside. Thank you to the owner for getting that in place as it has really made a difference. There are always great gatherings of people here to meet and have conversions with and then too if you just want to chill and search the internet or work. This is indeed a hot spot for the locals and more! It has a very rustic yet modern contemporary feel and you'd never know it's really a lobby to an apartment. It has a very neighborhood/local feel. Seating is always in demand but hang a round folks are always coming and going and you'll definitely get one. It's worth the wait. The bathroom too is always clean and accessible. There are plenty of games and books as well a the local papers to read incase your phone cuts out. Indeed this is a sweet spot in the city! I even did an illustration of their centerpiece which is always showcasing an array of foliage.

I first visited this spot two years ago, and since then, I’ve tried to come by on weekends whenever I was in the mood, but it was always too crowded to get a seat. This time, I finally got a chance to visit on a weekday morning. Even then, most of the tables were full, but I didn’t have to wait. I used to order an iced americano, but this time I went for the matcha instead. The service was just as friendly as ever, and I was once again impressed by the vintage and unique decor. The matcha (made with water) had a strong flavor and was really satisfying.

Stumbled in here on a Saturday morning to grab a quick coffee and found it so lively, but with a very quick moving line. Classic Lyria latte was absolutely excellent, as were their in house olive oil cookies!! We also had the cocoa with espresso added and thought it was incredible.

This place represents perfectly the Greek vibe from Greece. Is a very well made aesthetically place, coffee is good and you can enjoy your coffee inside or outside (outdoors is beautiful as well). 100% worthy for 100% Greek standards. It’s a place for coffee and beverages (it seems like has fresh and good matcha as well).
