Paris native Sophie Kagan says she’s never felt more at home than she does in Miami. Even so, something was missing. “I love Miami, but the only thing I missed from France was my tea,” she says. To cure her nostalgia, Kagan opened Lily’s Café, a French-inspired tearoom and bakery in Sunny Isles Beach. At Lily’s, folks can fancy themselves up to meet friends for a cup of Mariage Frères tea served on fine china adorned with palm trees and monkeys, but also casually pop by during their morning routine for a self-care pick-me-up.
Co-owner Naor Jerbi recently added a host of standout savory dishes to the classic menu of macarons, Russian cakes, and gelato. It’s all part of the Lily’s Café reimagination: earlier hours, more breakfast items, and even new Kosher options. In the end, Kagan says, the goal is to become everyone’s “happy place.”
