The croissants were delicious and had wonderful lemonade. It was awkwardly quiet and it seemed like you were bothersome if you tried to talk to the staff.

Great pastries, really easy to order and the staff were really friendly. The coffee was okay, could have been stronger. Waited quite a while for my order but came back every morning - definitely worth the trip of you're looking for a great pastries with your coffee.

At Léa French Café , I ordered the spinach quiche and the overnight oatmeal. The quiche is much thicker than expected, yet incredibly smooth and flavorful, with plenty of filling inside. The crust has a strong buttery aroma that pairs perfectly with the soft, custardy center.

The overnight oatmeal is excellent — the oats are intact with a great texture, lightly sweet with a milky flavor, and the raisins add a nice touch. It’s honestly one of the best overnight oatmeals I’ve ever had.

A very satisfying brunch overall.

Food is okay. Right after I finished eating, I went to the washroom. The washroom was so filthy! If I knew how disgusting it was, I would never eat here. The washroom is a direct reflection of its overall cleanliness, including the KITCHEN. I will never come back to this place and definitely not recommending anyone.

We stopped by Lea’s at peak Saturday brunch so it was crowded and waited a bit for our food and I was given the wrong croissant, but it was all delicious! I also got a hot cocoa made with oat milk and it was delightful.

Disaster of a service. The queue is very very long, service is extremely slow and they miss out on things, and the crew is rude. To avoid.

Unfortunately, this location packages every order in multiple layers of landfill plastics/ single-use disposal packaging, even if you ask them not to. Not a sustainable choice and nearby businesses should take note.

There is a decent amount of seating in a nicely designed space. Touch screens actually say you can take it for here but it’s not the case.

Quiche is excellent for fast casual format.

Ordered a breakfast sandwich, croque, and two lattes. Sat there for nearly 30 minutes waiting for our food, even though it wasn't particularly busy.

Our drinks must have been made way before the food was ready because the ice in my latte was nearly all melted. Why they wouldn't just give them to us while they're still working on the food I don't understand. The croque ended up being barely warm, so guessing that too was prepared way before the rest of the order.

Overally really disappointing experience unfortunately.

Food is good, but service is super super slow. 02 croissant and 2 coffee took 25 min .
Staff overwhelmed, looks like the guy that was doing coffee was his first time on the operation.
Just painful to watch

One of the worst coffee shop experiences. Staff was completely overwhelmed. When we finally got our order after 50 min, I asked about my missing latte and she said “Working on it but my shift is over in 20 min” and shrugs. We left without out. I don’t leave reviews but this was insane. Avoid this place!
