Cafe Con Leche - Vegan Italian Hoagie - New American Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Charming little bistro tucked away in the lower level of a venerable multistory house/office building in Newtown village. Despite being below ground, it does have a bright sunny gallery for dining in. Menu is primarily vegetarian or vegan with a smattering of meat and fish dishes or add-ons for a carnivore like me. I had a cup of their "energy" soup - a thick solid serving of sweet potato puree, beans, quinoa, and kale - which was tasty and filling; and their cheese ravioli in marinara. This was also very good with tender pasta enveloping a generous ricotta filling. My wife had the vegetarian quesadillas which she enjoyed. Hostess was very friendly and service prompt. read more

The food is worth the wait...I can't stop getting the Caesar salad with blackened chicken. My girl gets a chicken burrito and sweet potato jalapeno (which she dips the burrito in). Enjoy! read more

Not only did the meal taste great it had a beautiful presentation. So glad we found this. It is in the back of a building that is on the Main Street. There is free parking in the back. We sat outside with our dog. Ate some of the lunch before I remembered to take a picture. read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant. I was in Newtown and looking for something to eat. I saw the Vegan Cheesesteak on the menu and was excited to try it. The restaurant is literally a hidden gem. It's a little tough to spot, but the vibe in the place is amazing. The guy working on my visit was super friendly and helpful. And the vegan cheesesteak was very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try the other vegan options on the menu. read more

Consistently delicious with speedy service. I've been going there for years and it's never let me down. Lots of vegetarian options which is a plus. The soups are all outstanding and are just the thing on a chilly fall or winter day. Not to mention the fantastic balsamic dressing - a must with any salad! read more

Great dining experience and comfortable ambience. The servers are always so friendly and helpful. Food is delicious also. Would highly recommend! read more

Cafe Con Leche is a (very) hidden gem in Newtown. This restaurant is not easy to find, but it's worth the search. The menu is expansive and has options for vegan diners. The service was great. There is nothing fancy about this place, just good food. read more

Okay, so you follow the directions to a downtown area and at first you will not be able to see this cafe. We looked and looked but it wasn't u til we saw the sign for their cafe on a sign pile with other businesses that we were able to find it. You have to walk through a small sidewalk area to the back of the building and they are located on the bottom of the building. We were seated quickly and had our lunches within 10 minutes. My daughter enjoyed the chicken sandwich which they pressed as a panini for her and the sweet potato soup with jalapeño had just the right amount of heat. A lot of vegan and vegetarian options. Nice little cafe. read more

Amazing fresh and healthy food. One of the healthiest restaurants in the area but still manage to keep it so delicious.

The energy soup is so so so good! This place cooks food like you would make for yourself at home. All great healthy ingredients and such a pleasant setting too. Everything here is packed full of protein and flavor. If someone had only 1 night in Newtown and had to pick where to eat, this would be the place. read more

Our favorite vegan friendly restaurant in the area. Their food is always so fresh and delicious. The staff is very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend trying any of their soups and/or one of their delicious vegan desserts (we love the chocolate raspberry cake!). Also fyi, they will provide an amazingly seasoned olive oil dip with their complimentary bread for those who cannot eat butter - so definitely ask for it! read more

I have been coming here for about 3 years and it is always such a pleasure! Vegan options are in abundance at Cafe Con Leche and I am so grateful for that! Enjoy the many options that are offered at this restaurant. They have options for nonvegans and they also have desserts and coffee. read more

I love cafe con leche! They have fantastic vegan options! My kids love that! My favorite dish is the pecan chicken and the energy soup!

Delicious and healthy food served here at Cafe Con Leche. I highly recommend eating here!

The sweet potato soup was unbelievable! The vegan cheesesteak was soo good I even ate it hours later and was delish! The dressing on the salad I could drink it was soooo good. The food is really good here I can't wait to try more menus items. read more

If you're going to know one thing about my experience at Cafe con Leche, it's that I accidentally said "damn" when my burrito came out. But of course I'll tell you other things too ;) On my way to World of Falafel, which unfortunately was closed for succot (jewish new year) so I ended up yelping this place with a long history dating back to just before the 21st century, and a much changed menu from back then, I was thrilled to see a whole page with vegan options. Everything from mexican to indian to "Vegan Crabcakes" which I'll need to try. Upon suggestion of the hostess, i ended up with the vegan burrito, stuffed with spanish rice, romaine, and very well seasoned and cooked seitan. All wrapped in a blue corn flour tortilla and a side salad for $14. A little more than chipotle but also a little better than chipotle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Great place, very quaint, and empty on a Sunday at 3:15 (I guess not many people eat full meals at that time...) Lookig forward to returning some day. read more

Cafe Con Leche - Bigger than it looks. Vegan burrito to go - New American Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Amazing food, atmosphere (outdoor patio), and service! Sun dried penne dish with scallops and chicken is superb! Light and fresh! And black bean burger atop fresh salad is very fresh and tasty. Compliments to the chef, Daniel! Servers Amanda and Danni were delightful! Especially when they came out singing Happy Birthday with our scrumptious desserts; the berry cobbler and carrot cake! Try it, you'll really like it. Fyi, restroom is up 2 flights. read more

Had a wonderful experience here. My husband picked up a curbside order for me, (which went flawlessly). I had ordered the special Vegan Italian Hoagie, a cup of the Energy soup, and a cup of the Coconut Thai Risotto soup. Everything was top notch and so delicious. I was very impressed. Thank you for offering vegan options! read more

I have eaten here since 2005, but really increased my frequency in the last few months, and it's been delicious every time. If you're nervous about a vegan restaurant, don't be. They have vegan options but also lots of real meat options. Among my faves are the vegan crab cake sandwich (doesn't taste like crab cakes to me, but I think of it as a variation on a veggie burger). Mussels & linguine is also very tasty in marinara sauce. Sides are always salad or veggies - they don't default to fries or chips, which I love because it's so much healthier. read more

This is one of the good place to eat in Newtown, PA. Very local place with great food and a good menu. I went out for lunch with my girlfriends. It is a small cozy place underneath a old building just off the main street. We ordered veggie taco bowl, quince sandwich and Daniel's Chicken Quesadillas. Every thing was cooked perfectly. Reasonably priced too. Definitely visiting again. read more

The first time we went to this restaurant it was the middle of the week. They have some amazing specials then and not too many people. The second time we went it was a weekend and there were no specials and very very slow service. This doesn't change the fact that we all loved our dishes both times and our servers were friendly (if slow). This is the kind of place you want to go if you're not in a hurry and want to enjoy a long dinner with friends or family. read more

Cafe Con Leche - New American Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

It seems that Café con Leche has been in Newtown forever. It is a place I used to go to with some frequency, but over the years it fell off my radar as a "go to" place for good Latin/Italian styled cuisine. When a friend recommended it for lunch I jumped at the chance to revisit an old friend. Daniel Lucci is the owner/chef in this walkout basement of a restaurant on the Newtown Creek side of State Street. It is best approached from the parking lot next to Isaac Newtown's, where it must compete for parking. It is accurate to describe the dining area as small and dark, but for some that adds to the ambiance and charm. The menu seemed smaller than I remembered it, but it still had Mexican, Italian, and Continental flourishes. Lunch was from the Sandwiches Menu. All are prepared on French Bread with a side salad. The bread is fresh with a moderately crunchy crusty ingratiating bite, and my accompanying salad was potato with celery and a mayo-mustard creamy connector. The Yellow Fin Tuna Salad was good, layered with lettuce and tomato slices. It was satisfying and filling. The Cajun Salmon was nicely blackened with a Pesto Mayo dressing and side garden salad with Daniel's special Balsamic Vinegrette, he calls, "Balsamico." I tasted this and thought it was better than the tuna. I could not escape the thought that perhaps, Café con Leche had remained too long in the same space, and thus cramped its growth in both tables and adventurous gourmet meals. A little more sunshine might open this accomplished chef to brand new and exciting possibilities. In some way it seemed that the rest of the local restaurant world had caught up to CCL, and even passed it by. read more

I'm very enthusiastic about my lunch today. It was my first time at Cafe Con Leche. My vegetarian friend suggested we go, and since I seem to enjoy vegetarian food more & more I was eager to go. The place is rather hidden if you park on the Isaac Newton side, but it just requires a few stairs to reach it. The front room is nice with high stool seats so I chose the darker back room with regular tables. Service was excellent & so was the food. I had a delicious sandwich with a black bean burger, portobello mushrooms & smoked mozzarella & a cup of wonderful sweet potato jalapeño soup. The sandwich was awesome with a fresh side salad. My friend had the same burger served as a patty on a large garden salad. I'll be back, because everything was fresh & delicious with a menu for every food need including vegan, carnivore & gluten free. Definitely a winner! read more

Great menu and awesome fresh food! The vegan options are plenty and the daily specials menu has several vegan offerings. I had the mole vegan burrito and it was an absolute mouth orgasm! Sandi had the stir fry with Blackened Seitan and linguine and Sis had Penne and Broccoli. Rave reviews from all. Will definitely hit here every time I visit my Sister! read more

This was a tasty bite. My meal started with a sweet potato/jalapeño soup, followed by orange duck, and finished with an Argentinian Chocolate Cake accompanied with a Café con Leche. This dinner stop did lived up to its reviews. The restaurant is a cute quaint establishment. Their menu has numerous traditional choices, vegetarian dishes, and gluten free options. The soup was hearty, the entree was well executed, to include the potato mash and grilled vegetables. This chocolate cake slice was massive and pretty unique. It had layered puff pasty and dulce de leche. I'm kind of picky with my coffee and this café con leche was spot on. So sad I'm in town for only a few days, I would love to go back and try other item from their menu. Good Job Café con Leche! read more

Have been getting my favorite dish of penne and broccoli for many, many years... Wondering if you got a new chef? I just ordered and tastes awful with no flavor in a watery cream sauce. Disappointing. read more

Absolutely delicious! Husband and I came in FAMISHED!!! The quiche was to die for and hubby's quesadillas were drool worthy. We'll absolutely be back soon! Wish they made breakfast because I bet it would be fantastic. read more

This is the 5th time I have eaten at this restaurant. The first good thing is that it's BYOB. It has been outstanding every time no matter what we order. This time we ordered the Energy Soup and Sweet Potato Jalapeno Soup. I don't usually eat healthy nor do I eat sweet potatoes but both of these soups were very good. My wife got the Cheikan Marsala and said it was very fresh and very good. I got the Penne Daniel. It was also very tasty. I read another previous review and the reviewer said they used canned vegetables. That's so wrong. Everything is very fresh and not canned. The whole time we there this time we heard the chef in kitchen chopping vegetables. We will definitely continue to come back. read more

If you are a vegan and you are in the area you NEED to go here! This has the best vegan meals that are really cheap! Really nice serving size and the vegan dessert was amazing! Everything tasted so good I had to double check it was actually vegan. Server was really sweet and there were so many options. Cozy vibe read more

So it's not their fault that on a recent visit many people can't seem to modulate their voices. There's not much space to move to in the front room so we moved to the back room There, we were "hit" with a peculiar decor. The harsh orange cement walls were not very inviting and the dated plastic floral table clothes did nothing to add to the scenery. I think the floors were linoleum. Very dated and tired "ambiance". I hadn't eaten a cream sauce in years so I decided to splurge and ordered the pasta with broccoli. It was a very bland flavor. The mild cheese sauce did not impress me. I wished for something more flavorful. I should have stuck with my old stand by, the berry cobbler, for desert, but opted for the chocolate layer cake made with filo dough (in between the layers). It was as dry as a bone. Terrible! My birthday experience there was extremely disappointing for me and a friend who was equally displeased. I did get their vegan tuna fish to go and enjoyed it very much. read more

I absolutely loved this quaint and cozy restaurant. This place is very small and casual, which I liked. I've been meaning to come here for quite some time but I wasn't sure if my fiancé would like it but boy was I wrong. We both loved it! Our server was very helpful for our first time there and gave us a rundown of entrees we had questions about. But the best part was the food!!! I got the cod topped with a guacamole mix with a carrot purée and wow! It was so fresh and bursting with flavor. My fiancé got the carnitas and was blown away as well. I only wish I had room for dessert. I will definitely be back. Everyone's food around us looked spectacular! read more

Visiting from Southern California I had lunch here and I must say the food and service was AMAZING!! Being vegan it is sometimes challenging to find restaurant food that is super healthy and super tasty and Cafe Con Leche surprisingly exceeded my expectations and fulfilled my desire for flavorful epicurean delights. read more

Decided to try this place out for the first time. The food was below mediocre and didn't seem fresh. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Wouldn't come back. read more

I almost don't want to write a review because I want this place to myself. I've been going to this restaurant for years and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. And I can be a picky SOB so trust me you'll love it. read more

I've noticed an uptick in service here. The waiters/waitresses seem more prompt and are especially welcoming. The menu is slightly expanded, and it is well known they have a great vegan (Green Tea) section of the menu, too. They run daily specials, many of which are vegan, too, so that can be fun. Cafe con leche is frequented for their soups, which are made in house and are very tasty. I'm a fan of the sweet potato jalapeño, but who isn't? Flavors err toward the spicier end of the spectrum, which is probably owing to the chef/owner's South American roots. I sometimes ask them to go easy on the oil when grilling items, as they can be heavy handed, but otherwise, there is a great flavor profile here with a lot of fresh ingredients and creative, fairly healthy machinations. One ding is that you have to leave the premise to use the bathroom (up a series of stairs), and the decor could be updated to match the revised menu. They have giant cakes as the featured desserts, but you can go light with fruit cups, too. read more
