Crystal lattice:
The symmetrical three-dimensional arrangement of atoms inside a crystal.
Unit Cell :
The smallest group of atoms which has the overall symmetry of a crystal, and from which the entire lattice can be built up by repetition in three dimensions.

A crystal lattice is the arrangement of these atoms, or groups of atoms, in a crystal. These atoms or groups of atoms are commonly referred to as points within a crystal lattice site. Thus, think of a crystal lattice site as containing a series of points arranged in a specific pattern with high symmetry. Note that these points don't tell you the position of an atom in a crystal. They are simply points 'in space' oriented in such a way to build a lattice structure.

A unit cell is the most basic and least volume consuming repeating structure of any solid. It is used to visually simplify the crystalline patterns solids arrange themselves in. When the unit cell repeats itself, the network is called a lattice.
