Such an independent gem. The food is delicious, healthy, and high quality. The fresh pressed juice is amazing. And the spirit of the 90’s is ALIVE. Think cozy cafe vibes.

Perfect time capsule of the '90s when things were cutting edge and subculture-- the art, the vegetarian handwritten menus and the riot grrl feminism. This place was and is cutting edge. It's a must- visit for vegetarians, vegans, and nestled in the heart of Port Jeff harbor, there's truly nothing else like it and it's not a chain. It used to take cash only like most independent business -- and ever since 2020 it takes both cash and card. Their veggie burger is the best mediest non--meat I've ever had in my years of being vegan and vegetarian. Their homemade tofu cutlets never miss as well as all their fun salad choices that rotate every so often. Their Sunshine burger is super earthy. Everybody loves their falafel and crab cakes. I recommend their Medusa juice, gazpacho soup, and the little hidden Brie and jam on a roll with sliced pears. The staff and workers work really hard to make sure the food is delicious and consistent every time. Even though prices have raised somewhat, it's worth it for the amazing warm atmosphere and the women that run it are willing and ready for conversations and their attitude is always top notch as far as I've gone in. Thank you, Tiger 🐅 Lily, for all your business, excellent food, and warm service. So incredibly grateful that an earthy, artsy place like you exists, and the people that run it and support it make it possible.

My favorite place for lunch down Port! It's hippie chic with art and music posters all over the walls. All women owned and run too! Lots of vegetarian options as well as non vegetarian options.

Wow! You feel as though you've stepped onto the set of the TV show Charmed. A whimsygoth dream! Very friendly staff, great music and art. But most importantly, the food is SOoOoo good. I had the best wrap I've ever had in my life. (Balsamic veggie wrap with hummus). I'll be back

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 A visually stunning café with a "cool-meets-cozy" atmosphere that stands out in Port Jefferson. The service is efficient—even when they’re busy, the wait for food is only about 6–8 minutes. It’s a great spot for anyone who appreciates a local business that prioritizes creativity in both its decor and its menu. The Kansas City Wrap was excellent, featuring high-quality fresh ingredients and a surprisingly authentic regional BBQ flavor. Their Java Bar is also top-tier confirmed by my girlfriend; the Mocha Caramel coffee was delicious and a clear step above your standard corporate brews. Great for foodies, coffee lovers, and anyone looking for a relaxed, artistic environment to grab a meal. They also have an extensive vegan menu.

Good food. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Medusa lounge out back, counter bar up front, classic seating tables in the middle and comfort couches available. Pleasant place to read a book, eat some food and meet with friends over tea and coffee. Appreciating the matcha.

I got the Tahitian chai frappe, hands down the best chai I’ve had in a my life. I’m a bit applaud at how amazing it is. I let my friends have a sip and their eyes lit up. I haven’t seen them smile like that in a long time.. this drank honestly made an impact in their lives. Thank you Tiger Lily. ❤️ I’m taking a sip every 2 minutes to make it last.

Tiger Lily Café is a cozy gem in Port Jefferson that delivers both atmosphere and flavor. The café has a warm, eclectic vibe with artsy décor and a welcoming feel that makes you want to linger. It’s the perfect spot to relax, people-watch, or catch up with friends while enjoying something truly special. Their Spiced Chai Frappe is incredible—a perfect blend of creamy, icy refreshment with the comforting spices of chai. It’s rich but not too sweet, with just the right balance of cinnamon, cardamom, and other warming spices. Every sip feels like a treat, especially on a warm day when you still want those cozy chai flavors. The staff is friendly and quick, making the ordering process smooth even when the café is busy. Whether you’re a local or visiting Port Jefferson’s waterfront, Tiger Lily Café is a must-visit for great drinks, unique atmosphere, and that unforgettable Spiced Chai Frappe.
