Very disappointed with my visit. I was excited to try this place because of all the good reviews, so I ordered a couple of different little bites and two coffees, spending quite a bit overall. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. The employees behind the counter were extremely rude, uninterested, and gave off the feeling that customers were a burden.
Seating outside is very limited, with only a few tables, so it’s not somewhere you can comfortably sit and enjoy your order. To make it worse, they expect a 20% tip at the checkout, which is outrageous given the level of service they provide. I’ll never ever come back and wouldn’t recommend this spot!

This was our second time trying Lele Café, and unfortunately, both visits were disappointing. My daughter and I waited about 30 minutes for two avocado toasts, which felt excessive for a light meal. When my daughter politely asked for silverware and napkins, the woman who brought out our food simply said, “You can get it inside yourself,” and walked away.
The lack of hospitality and basic customer service was glaring—not even a smile or a thank you. For a café that looks charming from the outside, the service experience falls flat. Sadly, this seems to be a pattern, and we won’t be returning.

Absolutely amazing bakery! The macarons are some of the best I’ve ever tried - perfect texture, light and delicate with just the right amount of chew and sweetness. I highly recommend the lemon yuzu flavor, it’s refreshing and unique. The Basque cheesecake was also outstanding. The avocado-salmon toast was great - the salmon had a unique flavor, not smoky as what other places usually offer, and I really enjoyed it. My kids loved the cake pops - they’re super cute and fun, a perfect little treat for children. If I had to point out anything, I’d say the Napoleon cake wasn’t our family's favorite, I’d give it 4 stars compared to everything else. Also, the oblepikha tea wasn’t hot, tasted a bit too sour for my taste, and had a lot of pulp. Still, overall a fantastic experience!

We stopped by for breakfast. The place was packed, and there were only a few spots to sit. When it was our turn to order, the waitress seemed like she’d had a long morning—she didn’t greet us, just took our order, and we had to wait off to the side to get our food ourselves.
We waited quite a while before deciding to sit down, and eventually they did bring the dishes to our table. The food was very tasty, but the portion size felt really small for the price—I didn’t even feel full, and I usually eat light.
The guava mousse was delicious, and the coffee was also good. Overall, my experience with the food was great, but the service felt cold and unwelcoming.
I’m not sure I’d come back—there are cheaper places with delicious food and much better service.

The food was so great. I got a smoked salmon toast and my mom got a crepe with salmon and it was delicious! The mocha I ordered was very pretty and sweet! Our order was prepared quickly and it all looked incredible. Plenty of seating is available and the entire place is aesthetically pleasing.
Service and atmosphere is very nice, cozy and great place to chat with friends or work.
The matcha pistachio pound cake was ok - didn't taste very matcha-y and it was not very flavorful. Highly overpriced for the quality. $7 for a slice of pound cake....

Such a great find! The savory crepes are delicious. The pastry creme filling in the eclairs is perfect. Love the herbal teas and the iced ube latte.

Would have given one star, but giving a second one for the interior. The syrniki were dry and tasteless, felt like they were made from yesterday’s dough. Tables were constantly dirty, and the staff didn’t bother clearing used dishes. The atmosphere felt messy and unwelcoming. Prices are high and definitely not justified by the quality of food or service. Would not recommend.

I paid $18 for prosciutto bread basically. It was extremely bland, soggy and over priced. Maybe I got the wrong thing but I would skip this place for the price. Service was ahhh- just kids who don’t say thank you but hey, that’s kinda every coffee shop-ish place you go to these days right?
