Review Summary

Reviewers describe Café léo as a bright, stylish spot with excellent coffee, tasty pastries like chocolate almond croissant and almondine, and a welcoming, art-filled atmosphere. The space is repeatedly praised as a good place to sit and work, with a calm vibe and plenty of seating. Many note friendly staff and helpful baristas, though a few reviews call service inconsistent or a bit brusque, and some mention slowdowns during busy periods. A common thread concerns gluten free options and cross contamination, with some saying the gluten free items are not well separated from regular pastries. There are mentions of reliable espresso and rotating bean selections, with some iced drinks praised, while takeout packaging and wifi are occasionally criticized. Prices are described as reasonable for pastries and drinks by some, while others feel certain items are pricey. The café's location, decor and rotating art exhibitions add to its appeal and make it feel like a pleasant, creative hub. Overall Café léo emerges as a popular spot for coffee and pastries with a distinctive vibe, though experiences vary on service quality and practical details.

Bonnes options pour sans gluten

Overall, it is a nice place to sit down & do work. I came because I saw they had gluten free options. But once I looked where the pastries where located, the gluten free ones were right next to the non gluten free ones. Why bother even putting them at all if their gonna be contaminated with the non gluten free ones. I ended up trying the brownie since it was far away from the other ones. It was good but was definitely contaminated. I don't recommend celiacs going here at all. Don't put gluten free options if your not gonna be careful with how it's made or where it's place. Nice service & ambience.

Stopped at Café Léo for breakfast. Lovely to have gluten free options. Everything was yummy. In a way it felt like I was having breakfast at home only surrounded by art & lively discussion.

Gluten free options, beautiful place with a lot of natutal light. The music is not too loud which makes it a great place to study. Staff is very nice. They absolutely do the best oatmilk cappucino in town.
