| - I stopped in Lili somewhat unintentionally on my way up to Mind Cure records, directly above. I'd been walking most of the morning and needed something to drink, but I became hungry as well when I saw their modest selection of sandwiches. They guy at the counter was friendly and genuine as I talked to him for a few minutes as I decided what to get.
He brought my sandwich and drink to my table, which as others have said is a nice touch. As I was sitting there, a few other people came in who had obviously been there before, and they were greeted as friends. The iced tea I got was good, and the sandwich, toasted to perfection on a cold day, hit the spot.
When you look around Lili, you realize it is truly a Polish Hill cafe. Along a window ledge and wall are numerous black and white photos of people and places around the neighborhood. The rest of the art inside grabs your eye as well, but it fits in perfectly with the vibe there.
I'm already looking forward to getting back there in some warm weather to sit at one of the tables outside, or do some good people watching through their big windows. Lili is definitely a place to check out if you're in Polish Hill.
