    Perfectly authentic patisserie! Pain au chocolate (chocolate-filled traditional croissant) and Pear Tart were absolutely fantastic - perfect texture, gorgeous presentation. 15/10. Chai latte + espresso was also incredible!

    the sandwiches are not worth it, our croissant sandwich with avocado, egg & cheese barely had any avocado, the egg was so small-- not worth paying over $10 for. There was nothing good about it. I liked the oatmeal more, the pastries were decent.

    I ordered the veggie sandwich with avocado, egg, and cheese, but was a bit disappointed by how little avocado was included — you could barely see or taste it.

    That said, the menu has a nice variety of options. I got the overnight oats as a $1 side, and they were surprisingly very good! The space itself is really lovely, and they offer some great-looking salads that I’d like to try next time.

    Overall, it’s worth a try!

    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.

    A great way to start the day, before exploring the city even if it is a rainy day. So many great places to explore, this stop should be on your list. The food was awesome and the iced coffee was just as good. It was a great way to fuel up and relax in a beautiful restaurant. The staff was super nice and friendly. Definitely, taking some treats to go.
