They put way too much Grand Marnier (burns your mouth) on the suzette crepe and no real orange anything. The pomme crepe is perfection. Their hot chocolate is the best I’ve had anywhere.

Stopped in here for a quick breakfast while running errands the other day. I ordered some coffee and a ham & cheese quaso, because that's what you do at a place like this. The vibe is smooth and low-key, but somehow makes it difficult to resist lighting a cigarette and staring thoughtfully out the window like you're in a black-and-white French film about heartbreak and tax policy. Both came out pretty quickly and were delivered to my table by a very nice lady with what sounded like a European accent. Whether she was actually European or just significantly more sophisticated than me remains unclear. I took one bite of the quaso and was immediately transported back to a childhood memory of being told not to eat an entire stick of butter. Apparently that rule has an exception if the butter is wrapped in flaky pastry, filled with ham and cheese, and served alongside a coffee. In that case it's called breakfast and society encourages it. The coffee did exactly what coffee is supposed to do.

nice place, but macarons and cake pops were freezer-burned and stale; 1 of 6 (raspberry) macarons was fresh, the rest were terrible. Waste of money!!! Chai latte was good, crepes looked good, eh....

The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the amazing smell of freshly baked croissants! It’s so heavenly! The staff are super sweet and the drinks and foods are wonderful! 10/10! Highly recommend! It’s like taking a trip to Europe and back!

Leonidas is one of our favorites. We occasionally buy chocolates around Christmas but we mostly go year round for the delicious food and European feel. The crepes and coffee are great! The quiche is incredible. But, they also have the very best avocado toast I have ever had with this unbelievable bread, microgreens, and smoked salmon. Plus this adorbs caramel apple cider is new! The place is slightly rundown at the edges but staff are super attentive and everything we’ve had is delicious!
