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.

Excellent espresso with a choice of different beans & decaf. The pastries are very good & the cinnamon roll particularly delicious. I highly recommend it for coffee nerds.

Le café est bon, mais le prix est excessif. 4.75 pour un filtre c'est trop

Croissant au fromage, biscuit au chocolat blanc & matcha latté très bons. Par contre, il ne restait pas grand choix de viennoiseries à mon arrivée à quatre heures de la fermeture.

Real coffee. Not your regular burnt coffee from the big green chain. Locally roasted coffee & not only dark roast available. Their medium roasts are excellent. They also serve V60's (aka pour over).
