Lots of outdoor light and intimate seating
Scott S.

What a pleasant surprise of a coffee shop! A cozy corner coffeehouse and bake shop you'd expect to find in San Francisco. Quiet, lots of sunlight, well-appointed. Coffee was great. The staff was pleasant. Across the bridge, right on Elm. A special experience worth the two-minute drive or the five minute walk across the bridge. Good things are worth discovering and supporting so they can become your favorites. Treat yourself to a new and different place. You will be glad you did.

WOW! LOVE this place!!!! Such a gorgeous clean space! Beautiful natural lighting. You can sit by the window and look towards the river. So many birds flying over the river. Love the natural wood and white plus grey decor. The space gives one a buoyant feeling. I ordered a 12oz Oatmilk vanilla latte. The regular amount of vanilla (1oz), was too sweet for me. Next time I will ask for half sweet. In addition, I chose the home made cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting. My latte and cinnamon roll cost $10.93 for both. This is average cost for these items in Lawrence. They offer a water station, too, which is wonderful for keeping hydrated while you caffeinate yourself. They offer cookies, cupcakes and macarons. Flavors of cookies vary with a few sounding super interesting: white chocolate & raspberry plus a Mexican chocolate. So much love has been put into the details here! I HIGHLY recommend making a visit here! I lived in NYC for over 19 years and this is a New York quality kind of place! Thank you, Cleo & Leo! Can't wait to sit outside on the patio when the weather is warm.

cleo & leo is a new addition to lawrence! it's right across the bridge in north lawrence and on the river. it's quiet and nesstled in the neighborhood. it could be confused for a home. the have a wide selection of coffee and lattes, with a terrific seasonal menu. the pastries are pretty good, too. they have french macarons and they're done well and taste great. there's two different cinnamon rolls so get the cream cheese option. the folks there are nice and get you right the first time. they're smiling and ensure your experience is good. service is fantastic! overall would recommend! great if you're wanting a coffee and a treat when you're downtown!

Best place in Lawrence for a coffee/matcha and a sweet treat. Love that they are women owned and brought some Hispanic culture to the Midwest. (Yes, they have concha's!) Cannot recommend the blueberry latte or blueberry matcha enough!

Raspberry chocolate latte

Cute and quaint Mexican women owned bakery that is perfectly location by the river and near downtown. One of the best coffee places in town with friendly staff and quick service. Awesome place to hang out or study! I love the rotating concha flavors and sweet treats. Today, they had a sign up front to try their burritos and it worked because we tried their western burrito! This burrito had peppers, onions, eggs, cheese and was so so tasty especially with the salsa verde.

Sweet community hub. Highest quality foods and drinks with nice service in a modern, clean, but welcoming cafe with plenty ioutdoor seating to bird watch next to the river. Must-try items include: macaroons, pecan sticky buns, cortados, and conchas. Breakfast and heartier foods sometimes served as specials on the weekends.

WOW. I had lunch at a pizza shop next door and a friend suggested we pop over for a pastry. I was…read morenot prepared for what awaited me. Tours was bright, cheery, and had soooo many pastries. It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Stopped in near closing time on a cold December night and were pleasantly surprised by the numerous…read morechoices of beautiful pastries and breads that were still available. Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.
