Extremely cute French cafe! Delicious crepes and pastries. Their white pistachio mocha was to die for. The atmosphere is adorable; they play French radio and have small cafe style tables.

Service was odd, seems like preference to repeat customers over new ones....but coffee was excellent as was the food made on site. Muffin weren't fresh the first time we went but....all the time afterwards they were excellent.

This is a really great place to go have some coffee, chocolate, or pastry. I had a hot chocolate and it was one of the best Ive had, it was hot dark chocolate def recommend it. A ton of variety as well.

Our go-to for tea/coffee and breakfast. We were recently in Belgium and found that our Leonidas here in Evanston was way better than any Belgian location we stepped into. The chef who wields the crepe iron is amazing and always consistent with the food. I love the london fog- best I've ever had with actual vanilla added (with caviar!). My husband loves to order dirty chai or pumpkin latte. Be sure to try the canneles, too!

Went in to buy chocolate. One person at counter was busy but saw me did not acknowledge my presence or indicate she would help me in a minute or call up another staff member. I figured she didn’t want my business so left with nothing.

Such a smashing place!!! I always think to myself WHY DON’T I COME HERE EVERY WEEK? whenever I go to Leonidas. You just feel like you’re in a little European oasis and it’s so cozy and warm. Plus the crepes CANNOT BE BEAT! Do yourself a favor and get over there to buy some yummy chocolate treats for the special person in your life, too. And yes, that special person could be YOU!!! ❤️

Great for coffee and baked goods. Lots of tables and some comfy chairs in the front window. Chocolate is outstanding too. The little eggs with pink foil have pop rocks inside to give the chocolate a unique texture experience.

Its a trendy little place. The staff are friendly and pretty quick getting drinks out. Its neat being able to glance back into the kitchen to see the chocolates being made. The euro music really elevates the vibe. Its definitively my go to coffee place now that I'm working in the area.
