THE STORY

The story behind this place

A café begun with their daughter's name

A couple opened Liya after leaving their jobs and named it for their daughter. With few early customers, they researched hydroponics and brought lettuce growing into the café.

The greens now mean more than decoration: growing them became part of the café's operating direction.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Confirm brunch service times

Brunch has set hours. Confirm a specific plate in advance, and ask about seating for groups or private events.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Eat hot items first; sip tea slowly

Eat the sea bass and soft eggs before the greens. Rose apple tea starts floral; apple tang emerges later, and it can be resteeped.

● Orange Pork Jowl Risotto in Port Red Sauce

Apple red sauce and port begin tangy-sweet, then deepen. Rice is soft, not mushy, and absorbs sauce. Crisp, springy orange pork jowl, cheese, zucchini, pepper, and corn create memorable balance.

● Classic Latte

House-roasted beans give the latte presence beyond ordinary restaurant coffee. Fine foam opens with milk before smooth, full coffee, supporting brunch rather than merely accompanying it.

● Rose Apple Tea

Rose leads this light, unsweetened, caffeine-free tea; apple tartness becomes clearer with time. It can be resteeped and quietly suits brunch or risotto.
