Living Room Vibes and Taro Treats at Café Lilac

#springitinerary Café Lilac by Whisking Bakes at Crawford Lane is one of those quiet little spots that instantly makes you want to slow down and soak in the calm. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by this cozy living room vibe — think soft lilac shades everywhere, warm wooden furniture, and comfy booth seating right next to a big glass window that looks out onto the corridor. It feels like someone’s stylish dining room, a place where you can just settle in and forget the world for a bit. We tried the taro-misu and the strawberry taro latte, and honestly, both were little delights. The taro-misu was such a clever twist on the classic tiramisu — layers of creamy taro paste and mascarpone, with that gentle sweetness that taro brings, made it smooth and comforting without being too heavy. The strawberry taro latte was a refreshing surprise too, combining the earthy sweetness of taro with a bright strawberry flavor that worked really well together. It wasn’t too sweet, just nicely balanced and easy to sip on while you enjoy the quiet vibes. What I really liked was how peaceful the café felt. It’s not noisy or crowded, and the decor really adds to that homey feeling — it’s the kind of place where you can bring a book, have a slow chat with a friend, or just enjoy some time alone watching people pass by through the window. If you’re ever around Crawford Lane and want a calm, cozy spot with good taro treats, Café Lilac is definitely worth checking out.
