Picked up an Americano to go. Yummy coffee and kind service!

It’s really cute, reasonably priced and the food is delicious but you order at a kiosk and then wait for you food. We waited longer than I anticipated and the place was very full. The food was VERY good. The staff were amazing they were working hard the whole time. But I didn’t love waiting 20-30 minutes for a quiche, croissant and coffee. Also they only give you good to go, i would like if they were more eco friendly and used reusable plates. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the service was so slow and I don’t love eating out of boxes and would appreciate if they used reusable plates and silverware.

It’s at best okay. The croissant are dry and sad. The coffee is machine type coffee. Looks promising- underdelivers.

If you imagine escaping to romantic Paris in the midst of a bustling city, with perfectly prepared food made from top-quality ingredients, you’re likely in for a big disappointment. Instead of the typical French elegance and simple luxury, you’re greeted with cheapness—a dish prepared with subpar ingredients, lacking care, creativity, or effort, offering no culinary or visual appeal. They clearly rely on the fact that they’ll attract mainly tourists and random passersby. And because they know there will always be enough people to fall for it, they have no qualms about shamelessly serving food that I wouldn’t offer even for free. Here’s a photo of their tarte Tatin, served with a plastic fork that isn’t even wrapped.

Stopped here for a quick lunch after taking the train in from South Bend. Easy kiosk ordering and very good sandwiches! We will definitely return. The apple tartlette dessert also hit the spot when I heated it up the next morning at our hotel.

I visited Léa and tried the croque madame, but it was just mediocre. Personally, I’m not a fan of Swiss cheese, which affected my enjoyment. I’ve had this open-faced sandwich elsewhere with ham, Gruyère, and mozzarella on toasted bread, topped with mornay sauce and a fried egg, and I believe the difference in cheese really makes an impact. The bread was nothing special either, which contributed to my disappointment. I managed to eat about half of the sandwich but ultimately couldn’t finish it. The cappuccino was just average. Overall, I was hoping for more from the meal. I was also charged twice at the self-checkout. However, the cashier assured me that a refund for the second charge would be processed once a manager arrived later in the day. I appreciated the prompt service, especially on such a busy morning.

Horrible food , and The WORST service ever, the people working there just semi shout your name, they take +10 mins to serve you a butter croissant, the menu is zero-flexible. You have to clean your table by yourself, the toilet is dirty. The only thing good is the coffee

I ordered a Rivoli sandwich which is supposed to be with tomato, mozzarella and basil. Received a sandwich with questionable cheese and lettuce? Cappuccino was okay though.
