Every pin below opens a full profile: verified hours, the amenities the restaurant actually lists on Google, a complete star-by-star rating breakdown, and driving directions.

About Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread — Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread

Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread is a vietnamese restaurant in Augusta, GA, located at 1378 Laney Walker Blvd Ste 101. It holds a 4.9-star rating on Google across 538 reviews, which is a substantial sample — enough that the score reflects consistent day-to-day performance rather than a handful of good or bad visits.

Google describes it this way: “Bubble tea shop also offering Vietnamese street food such as banh mi, spring rolls, and steamed shrimp dumplings.” That summary is short, so the rest of this page fills in what the listing data actually shows — the hours, the service options, the accessibility details, and how diners have rated it over time.

This listing is verified on Google, meaning the business itself has claimed and confirmed the profile. In practice that makes the hours and contact details more trustworthy than an unclaimed listing, though it is still worth calling ahead before a long drive.

Google categorizes Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread under vietnamese restaurant, coffee shop, sandwich shop, and bubble tea store. Multiple categories usually mean the menu runs broader than a single-dish shop — worth scanning the full menu rather than assuming pho is the only thing worth ordering.

What the Ratings Actually Show — Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread

A star average hides more than it reveals, so here is the actual distribution behind Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread’s score. Of 538 rated reviews, 500 are 5-star (93%), 17 are 4-star (3%), 7 are 3-star (1%), 7 are 2-star (1%), and 7 are 1-star (1%).

That means 96% of diners rated it four stars or better — a strongly positive distribution with very little of the polarization you often see at busy restaurants. When almost nine in ten reviewers land in the top two buckets, it usually points to consistency rather than a single standout dish carrying the score.

You can read the full review history on Google and judge for yourself — I always skim the most recent ten or fifteen rather than relying on the lifetime average, because a restaurant's kitchen can change substantially in a year.

Hours and When to Go — Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread

Lily Coffee, Tea & Bread is open 5 days a week and closed on Saturday and Sunday. That is the single most common reason for a wasted trip, so it is worth checking before you drive out — especially if you are planning around a weekend.

Across the week the kitchen runs from about 9 AM at the earliest to 5:30 PM at the latest, totaling roughly 43 service hours. Opening before 11 AM matters more for pho than for most cuisines — pho is a breakfast dish in Vietnam, and an early-opening kitchen is often one that takes that tradition seriously.

The kitchen closes before 9 PM, so plan on an earlier dinner. Arriving within the last half hour of service is a gamble at any restaurant that simmers its broth in daily batches, since the best cuts and the freshest garnishes tend to go first.

It is closed both weekend days. Full day-by-day hours are listed above, pulled from the restaurant's Google Business Profile.

What to Order

If you’re new to pho, the broth is what separates a serious kitchen from an average one: beef bones (often with oxtail or brisket) simmered for hours with charred onion and ginger, then seasoned with star anise, cinnamon, clove, coriander, and fennel. It should read clear and deeply aromatic rather than cloudy or simply salty — a cloudy, flat broth is usually the tell that a kitchen is working from a concentrate rather than a real simmer.

On most menus you’ll see pho bo (beef) and pho ga (chicken). Within beef pho, the cuts matter: tai is rare steak that finishes cooking in the hot broth, chin is well-done brisket, nam is flank, gau is fatty brisket, gan is tendon, and sach is tripe. A “special” or “dac biet” bowl combines several, which is the usual first-visit recommendation so you can find the cut you actually like before committing to it on a return visit.

The herb plate — Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime, chili, sometimes culantro — is meant to be added gradually rather than all at once, since herbs wilt fast and lime shifts the whole balance of the broth once it's in. Hoisin and sriracha work best as a dip for the meat on the side rather than stirred straight into the broth, which mutes a stock the kitchen spent hours building.

A quick note on ordering for a group in Augusta: pho scales well for a table because everyone can order a different cut or size without the kitchen needing to coordinate a shared dish, and the garnish plate lets each person season their own bowl to taste rather than negotiating one spice level for the whole table.

Pho vs. Ramen

Since this is primarily a ramen directory, it’s worth being upfront about the difference. Pho uses flat rice noodles in a clear, aromatic beef or chicken broth finished by the diner with fresh herbs and lime. Ramen uses wheat-and-kansui alkaline noodles in a broth that’s usually richer and arrives already composed. Pho generally runs lighter; ramen’s richer styles, especially tonkotsu, carry more fat. If pho is your baseline, shio and shoyu ramen are the closest in weight — see the full four-style comparison.

For the deeper nutrition comparison, I cover it in is ramen healthier than pasta and the healthiest noodles you can eat. If you want ramen in Augusta specifically, browse the ramen restaurants in Augusta, GA search map — pho and ramen often cluster in the same neighborhoods, since both cuisines tend to open where there's already foot traffic for Asian food generally.

If you like one, the other is worth trying on a different visit rather than treating them as competitors for the same meal. A shio or shoyu ramen and a beef pho solve slightly different cravings even though they look similar on a menu photo — one leans toward miso and tare-driven umami, the other toward star anise and charred aromatics.
