I visit this café every weekend to pick up my order, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Chicagoland. They serve the best croissants I’ve ever had here, with an authentic French atmosphere that makes each visit special. You can truly feel the owner’s sincerity and passion for his business in every detail. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leonidas in Northbrook is a chocolate lover’s dream. The Belgian pralines are rich, silky, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet, just decadent and authentic. Beyond the chocolates, they also serve delicious savory and sweet crepes that are freshly made and absolutely worth trying. Whether you go for a classic Nutella crepe or a savory option, everything is prepared with care and pairs perfectly with their coffee or famous hot chocolate. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready to help you pick the right assortment of pralines or suggest the perfect crepe. A must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Belgian chocolate and a cozy café experience in the suburbs!

Not what I expected from the name. The stuff is not fresh nor it’s made from quality ingredients Even the French apple cake is not made with fresh sliced apples, I literally took a bit and throw it away and the croissant is very dense and not buttery.

Best quiche ever!!! Indoor or outdoor dining options. Music playing in background, helps with feeling like conversations are more private having background noise. Delicious coffee in a ceramic mug. Vegetarian options, fresh pastries, fresh hot crepes made right at the counter to watch if you would like too. Hot and cold sandwiches, so many options! Don't let the name of the Cafe keep you from missing out on this gem! Its not a chocolate/candy store. Super cute place! You will love it!

big fan of coffee
We were really excited to come back to Leonidas after a great first visit, we loved the outdoor seating and all their little chocolates. Unfortunately, this second time was disappointing.
We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and while we were fine with being seated inside since they were shutting down the patio, the experience quickly went downhill. About ten minutes after we got our coffees, one of the staff started sweeping the floor right towards us. Dust and debris ended up in our drinks, it felt like a clear message that they wanted us to leave, even though they were technically still open.
It completely ruined the moment, and honestly, the drinks. We won’t be coming back.

The atmosphere was really nice, quiet, loved the older building style amd the outdoor seating. We did grab some chocolates and they are beyond amazing. The staff was really friendly. Gave me that small town shop in a big city vibe which I love.
