This place was great. I found it while on the freedom trail and it was such a wonderful experience. Great Cannoli!! I absolutely recommend a visit whenever you’re in the neighborhood.

We come every time we are in town for the cannolis! They are amazing every time, they aren’t pre filled! Would 100% recommend.

Superb view of the north church. That’s it for pros ?We wanted a little Italy experience - and got stale danish pastries ( our hotel had better ones for buffet breakfast just to give you a benchmark ) and mediocre coffee. No other pastries. No bathrooms . Rude counter lady. Go elsewhere !!!!

Location, location! Soak in the ambiance of the North End and Old North Church while you enjoy a coffee and snack. Love it here.
Terrible place, has no public bathroom facilities for their paying customers. They were rude when asked. Nowadays people are more cautious about washing hands before eating.

We arrived early to see the Old North Church, went in for a coffee and a snack, asked if they had a bathroom to wash hands, was rudely told they had no bathroom, which is surprising for an eatery/restaurant especially nowadays that people are most conscientious about cleanliness since Covid. Needless to say we did not eat here. We went elsewhere, their lost.

A simple but picture perfect cafe on an out of the way corner on Boston's North End, Caffe Lil Italy is a nice spot for morning coffee and Italian vibes in the neighborhood. We enjoyed lattes in the corner window seat. With views of the Old North Church and nonnas making their way with groceries down the crooked streets, it was enough to make you think you were in Europe and not Boston.

Very disappointed. Blah latte....minimum of $5 purchase. Ambiance 1 star. Baked items unpalatable was excited to try but will not be back
