Their photography doesn't represent the quality of the food they serve. We ordered Lea Ceaser and they used old vegetables for our salad.

This place is literally so cute! I loved dining here but it is quite pricey especially if you're ordering alcoholic drinks. My partner ordered two different drinks and it came in the size of a whiskey glass, so a bit small + had lots of ice + it was pricey. Apparently my partner barely felt any alcohol and it was more than $10 for each drink. The non alcoholic Arnold Parker I had was good though. I also ordered the kingping 12" pizza pie with arugula and prosciutto. The texture and crisp of the pizza was near perfect but it was severely lacking in tomato sauce. They really did not want to drench the pizza at all! As a result it lacked flavor and an oomph factor to the pizza. There really wasn't much service either and you need to tip at the beginning. The restaurant also had a ton of what looked like good pastry options and cakes, fresh pasta to buy, many drink options, cheese, and canned fish! Overall a cool spot that I would revisit.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Leah. The pizza was a highlight; the crust was perfectly done, with just the right amount of crispiness. The tiramisu was simply divine, a perfect blend of flavors and textures that left me wanting more. The ambiance, both indoor and outdoor, was incredibly relaxing, allowing us to savor our meal in a tranquil setting. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and a peaceful atmosphere.

Whoever the pastry chef is at Lea is an absolute superstar. The pastry, the bread, the cakes and the cookies, all amazing. Often you go to places and the pastry looks good but it's not. The pastry at Lea has never been disappointing. I do prefer a more traditional eclair with the cream in the center and not chocolate cream but that's the only thing I can say and that's just my preference. Try the carrot cake! The most amazing cake flavor and consistency and the cream cheese frosting is perfection! They could work on their coffee game. It seems new people aren't trained on coffee drinks and when you're paying $4, $5, $6 for a coffee drink it needs to be really excellent and sometimes it's not. Also the staff has always been great, seems someone knows how to hire. Love Lea!

Love the patio seating. Decent service. Me, my wife, and my kids each hated the food.

I just don't get it. I'm happy to pay $20 for a pizza or sandwich if it's decent, but it's not. It looks like a cool spot but I'm just always so disappointed in my meal.

Great place for breakfast and lunch, and we're very excited about the new additions of bagels! I HEAVILY recommend the ham & cheese croissant and the Everything croissant! They reinvented themselves in a great way after the fire and covid, as it does great sit-down meals AND takeout!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian and even some vegan meals, ranging from breads, pastries, and salads to pizzas.Parking: Standard Brooklyn street parking, so I would highly recommend to just take the Q to Cortelyou and walk.

I just had this delivered for the first time and I’m really disappointed. The pizza is decent but $4.50 for olives and there are maybe two olives chopped up on the pizza? Come on!The fries have no flavor and everything arrived cold (not even warm and I live less than a mile) but that could be a problem with the delivery service so no deductions for that.Honestly, charging $4.50 for two olives is criminal and yall should be ashamed.
