Lele Cake is truly a little paradise for me I come here almost every day and always enjoy my time here. The staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming -- Anya is sweet and attentive, Galina is very responsible and caring, the girl with the gorgeous curly hair is always warm and kind, and Alejandro is always friendly, welcoming, and brings great energy to the place. You can really feel that Elena, the owner, puts her heart into this place -- fresh flowers, beautiful decorations, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it feel special. The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the salmon toast, shakshuka, syrniki, draniki, buckwheat with poached egg and parmesan, and the Basque cheesecake -- all amazing. And the Dirty Dragon is so good too! I'm always happy to come back. read more

I really like the food at Lele Cafe -it is genuinely very good, and that is the only reason I kept coming back. However, the service is very disappointing and inconsistent. The communication with the staff felt confusing and unprofessional. At first, I was directly told that they do not speak Russian, so I immediately switched to English. But shortly after, I clearly heard the same staff speaking Russian among themselves. On top of that, I also noticed them speaking Russian with other guests, while I was told they "don't speak Russian" when interacting with me. This was very confusing and honestly felt strange and selective. This kind of inconsistency creates a very uncomfortable impression and feels disrespectful as a customer. I also know many people who no longer come to this café because of the rude and unwelcoming attitude of the staff. Unfortunately, I now feel the same. I will not be returning. The food is excellent, but the service completely ruins the overall experience. read more

We regularly host our Bayarea_quiz events at Lele Cake, and we absolutely love this place! The service is always warm, attentive, and professional. The team is incredibly supportive and helps everything run smoothly every time. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, which makes it perfect for our quiz nights and community gatherings. We truly appreciate the amazing service and hospitality -- it really makes a difference for our com. Highly recommend! read more

Gorgeous cafe, gorgeous food. I was attracted to this spot because I love light brunches, and it can be hard to find in a world that prefers heavy potato + cheese + meats in the morning! I loved the prosciutto and pear toast and the crepe with salmon. Yes, it is a bit pricey here. Luckily, the food is good enough that I won't complain about it. My party was the only Asian group there, and we were told to get our drinks at the front, despite the parties sitting next to us getting served their drinks at their tables. Of course, it could be a strange coincidence, but we couldn't help but feel a bit awkward about that. Hoping our next experience won't feel that way. read more

This won't be a detailed review because I don't want to mislabel these mousse cakes and spread incorrect information! But these were given to me by my wife for Valentine's Day and as you can see they're beautiful! Very light (like not filling, in a good way), not super sweet - kind of like a relatively guilt-free refined dessert with creative flavors. Great for special occasions or if you like to treat yourself because you just really like yourself, which is great. As you can see, there are different layers and compositions within these cakes. Some are mostly mousse and have sharper/tarter flavors, some are more cakey and are more subtle. But I enjoyed all of them a lot. We've also eaten here before, both pastry type items and lunch. This is just a nice locally owned cafe where you can get elevated quality food and desserts in a casual environment for a fair price. Their restaurant, Lele Kitchen, is superb and we've had a few special occasions there. Highly recommend that as well. read more

I had been to Lelé Cake and Lelé Kitchen many times. I loved everything they offered and was never disappointed. While I was too late to make a reservation at Lelé Kitchen before they're completely booked for Valentine's Day this year, I pre-ordered the Hearts Mousse Cakes (set of 4) from Lelé Cake for pickup yesterday. I arrived around 3pm, and they're very busy. I didn't mind waiting in line, though, as I could look at their decorations and various cakes/cookies. Their Valentine's Day decorations and cakes were beautiful. The 4 mousse cakes were just phenomenal (inside and outside)! Each of them had very unique and delightful flavors: . rich chocolate with tangy cherry . luscious pistachio with sweet strawberry . decadent chocolate apricot infused with aromatic Earl Grey tea . creamy raspberry & strawberry yogurt They're all so sophisticated, delicious, and only slightly sweet. Truly guilt-free indulgence. I couldn't decide which one I liked the most! read more

I've been going to this place since they opened and the quality of their food and drinks has stayed high to this day! There are definitely items on their menu I prefer, their savory waffles and toasts are delicious. I'm not a big meringue fan so I skip those, but their tarts and basque cheesecake are very tasty. I love their drinks as well. My favorite touch are the flower petals they dust on their waffles. It just gets me every time Earlier on they would get drink orders wrong but that isn't an issue anymore. Service has always been kind. I love working here, or dropping by on a day when I'm running errands locally whenever I can. I love how aesthetic the place is, they change their decorations for each holiday. The restroom is always clean and though I don't have kids and don't plan on ever having them, I love that it's clearly child friendly. I often bring friends from out of town here as it's such a gem The vibes are really wonderful. I hope they stay in business for a long time. I will have to try their restaurant next door for a special occasion! read more

I service was good. The cafe has enough seating indoor and outdoor, pretty cute and cozy to get some work done or catch up with family or friends. I do think the menu is overpriced. Maybe it's because of the area. I got a sandwich over a bed of dry arugula (didn't come with dressing). The sandwich that was ok, but definitely not worth over $22! I get it, inflation and everything going up but a sandwich that much? Not again. If I wasn't hungry, I would have stuck with just the Mocha. However, I was getting close to hangry. Lol other than that, I would come here if I was in the area, want some coffee, and need to work on the laptop for a min read more

Lele Cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I visited Lele Cake with my son this past Saturday, and we absolutely fell in love with this place. The moment you walk in, it feels like an intimate, elegant French-style bakery -- classy, warm, and so inviting. The ambience alone makes you want to linger, but the food and coffee make it even better. Everything we tried tasted incredibly fresh and high-quality. You can tell they use great ingredients and make everything with care. We ordered the salmon and cream cheese crepe, a brown sugar miso latte, and my son had the chocolate éclair. All of it was delicious -- balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. This spot is perfect whether you're craving a sugary treat, something savory, or just a really good coffee. It's become one of my absolute favorite cafés to treat myself. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly worth every penny for the quality and experience. A total gem in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious food & cozy ambiance! Whether you want to have a solo cafe day, brunch with the girlies, or a cute day with your partner, lele cake is such a cute place to chill at! I love the cute pastries they have on display in the front which I have yet to try. But I LOVE their smoked salmon here & I highly recommend this place for upscale brunch & drinks! The glass cups add such a nice flair too read more

We arrived right when they opened this morning. The bakery cases were all full and looked delicious. We ordered the Gruyère waffles, power bowl, Shakshuka, an Ube latte, regular latte, and two pastries. Service was excellent as usual. They did not have the onion marmalade for the waffles so I chose avocado to go with it. It was delicious. The shashuka was hot and spicy. Very good! My husband enjoyed the power bowl. The lattes were very good. We both enjoyed the lime basil tart and the medovik. Leek cakes is a true gem. The inside is set up so cute with plenty of seating options. Silverware and cold water are self serve. You have to bus your own table which I'm okay with. The food here is unique and wonderful. They always have such a nice presentation with their dishes. I highly recommend it. read more

Major shrinkflation on the drinks. You can see how in my 1st review the photo of my cappuccino is appropriately sized. Not today. Today mine was tiny, just a few sips. Raise the prices more if you must, but please don't skimp. Cappuccino was so-so. Way too milky. Yogurt parfait: the granola was rock hard & gross. I crunched something hard on the granola. I have no idea what it was. The berries tasted bitter and they put just a little bit of yogurt so basically the yogurt didn't cover it and it was just mostly granola with bitter berries, lol. Truthfully, I have had way better at home. I get good granola from Whole Foods and berries and Greek yogurt. Even my homemade granola surpasses this and I don't do much. Why did I waste $14 on this, which was over $20 for a cappuccino and yogurt parfait. It's mostly high school/college kids working there. So I keep that in mind. It's not their fault. The server gave me a little bit of yogurt, which I appreciated hence the other star. Nevertheless, I keep working class families in mind and their hard-earned dollars are better spent elsewhere. I don't mind paying top dollar but this is ridiculous. read more

Stopped in for a cup of coffee and a crepe with salmon. Coffee was spectacular. But wasn't crazy about the $18 crepe with some blah salmon. I've never in my (yelp) life had such an expensive crepe. The crepe itself was meh...nothing special...just a single, normal crepe piled on the plate with a few pieces of cold, tasteless salmon, a drop of sour creme and these huge caper berries that I had to lift with my hand to eat. Better to use some small capers. All that for $18 is insane!! And the restaurant t is "off the beaten path." If it were in Santana Row, I can see $18 justified (maybe). read more

Nice cafe with a large menu including some harder to find European dishes. Rosti with marinated cucumbers and salmon - the combination of the rosti, sour cream and salmon in a single bite was amazing. The quality of the individual components was great too. The marinated cucumber by itself wasn't memorable, but I really liked this dish overall 5/5 Syrniki with fresh berries and custard - I liked the texture of the cottage cheese pancakes. Reminds me of cornmeal pancakes. The cream went well with the large amount of fresh berries and the pancakes 3.5/5 The decor was pretty nice and welcoming. The large menu for the cafe surprised me. Lots of pastries and cakes to choose from as well. I would come back to try other dishes as well! read more

I really like the new little video about the cafe vibe. And I like the food and drinks at Leles but the vibe isn't about the food the off vibe is about the service vibe. I'm not complaining I'm trying to give constructive remarks in order to keep this place welcoming and comfortable for customers. Lately some of the service people who interact with the customers do not seem to be happy at work and this translates to the customers. Don't get me wrong I really like Leles. Your pastries are so very good. It's just my observations . read more

I first went to Lele Cake when they opened a few years ago. I thought it was such a beautiful space and I loved how it was child friendly. It had been a while since I visited but recently I went with a girlfriend, and I remembered how much I like the cafe! Now I have returned a few times and really enjoyed their savory items, like the salmon crepe and the gruyere waffles. Their bakery items are delicious and great for a special occasion or gift. I got Easter cookies for my nieces and noticed they have special order items for Easter this weekend. This is the perfect place to meet with friends for lunch/coffee. They have outdoor seating and indoor tables as well. In one corner of the cafe, they have a play kitchen and toys for young children. It can get pretty crowded so you may have to wait for a table or sit at the communal table as well. read more

简直是附近居民的遛娃胜地 多年老店 已然不在意室内环境整洁与否 服务员也只是简单地收拾卫生 乍一看或许会觉得装修风格挺温馨 实则到处乱糟糟、黏糊糊 坐着吃一顿早午餐还过得去 不情愿久待 基础款热奶咖不要轻易尝试 甜品种类虽多 但法甜几乎属于乱整 唯有巴斯克不错吃 早午餐值得回头 好清淡好健康 简单基础的调味 饱腹感强、且完全没负担 ..... Cappuccino 焦香、弱酸，整体以苦为主，质地偏稀薄，好在收尾比较利落，不会留下奇怪的味道 Mocha 让人无语的一杯摩卡，凭实力展示寡淡如水，甚至连甜度都极为虚弱，浓缩的苦味在中后段才开始有所显现，而快要接近尾声时才发现，原来巧克力酱根本就没融化... Basque Cheesecake 【巴斯克芝士蛋糕】 面和底都处于刚刚焦黑的状态，不会察觉到一丝苦涩 喜欢中间半流质的部分，奶香醇厚浓郁，同时又拥有着一些蓬松的空气感，甜度也比较合适，边缘的凝固体反而残留了明显的蛋腥味 Tropical Éclair 【热带水果闪电泡芙】 酥皮在冰柜里放得太久，犹如泡烂的法棍，顶部还用了质地很塑料的植物奶油... 但不得不承认，百香果卡士达夹心是真的好吃，清新自然的酸甜，配上恰到好处的黏稠，勉强算拉回了些好感吧 Canelé 【可露丽】 外壳的状态不错，焦香、酥脆，甜度控制得挺好，但这内馅实在太不像话，一整坨完全看不见气孔的面团，湿烂、软黏，还有极重的蛋腥味 .....

How adorable is this place?! It's such a cozy little cafe with the cutest aesthetics and decor. I ended up getting the most dense, gorgeous-looking tropical cheesecake, literally the only whole cake they had left, and I totally lucked out. The service was quick and super chill, which I always appreciate. The place started filling up fast, so clearly it's a local favorite. There's so much more I want to try. The white chocolate matcha looked absolutely promising, definitely first on my list for next time. Honestly, the whole menu looked amazing. (I'm staying away from sugar for a while but I'm coming back as soon as I can) But let's talk about that cheesecake. Oh My God! Hands down one of the best I've ever had. It's on the pricier side, but 100% worth it. It's dense and cakey on the outside, gooey and melt in your mouth on the inside. The flavors are delicate but just right. It even gave me serious "Friends" vibes, you know that episode where Rachel and Chandler fight over a cheesecake that was accidentally delivered to them? Yeah, this one is that level good, maybe even better. Can't wait to go back! read more

Service-- Responsive and helpful workers, but do note that this is an "order and get your food at the front" type of place-- akin to a cafe. Ambiance-- place was packed! super cute decor, clean and nice, no complaints here except that some of the tables can be a tiny bit cramped. Food-- Everything we got was perfectly cooked, clearly high quality ingredients and a menu where you really can't go wrong. The dishes they serve can be pretty hit or miss so we were nervous at first but everything was definitely a hit! The only reason I haven't given them five stars is because it's pretty pricey, and the drinks were nothing to write home about. Other than that I think they're worth the visit! read more

Victoria was the best! So kind and accommodating! The food was also absolutely incredible!

A relative referred this local cafe in our neighborhood. They have good business and crowded on weekend. Unique cafe menu such as Ube latte, Gibraltar. Healthy breakfast or brunch menu too. It is a bit pricey as I spent $50 breakfast for two. We only ordered two entrees and two lattes. They taste good though. Portion was delicate. They were quite busy on weekend with limited indoor and outdoor tables. It is not Bill's Cafe in comparison on the menu selection or portion. It is rather unique and simple menu to try for coffee and delicate pastry and hot entrees. read more

It was super crowded when we were there, and we just got coffees, which were TINY and kind of expensive for how small they were. The staff seemed a little rush because of the crowd, the desserts looked interesting but we just did not have time to sit and try any. Will probably go back and try a few. the place is very nice and looked well cared for and clean. Watch your head though, to cut the sun the umbrella situation is very impressive but hard to maneuver around. It's needed and probably the best solution, but it's a lot of umbrella. read more

Don't be fooled by the photos from reviews. I came to this café and showed a photo of the soft cooked egg from other reviews... they looked awesome. Both the dishes we got with eggs came with freezing hard boiled eggs cold from the fridge. They don't have fresh eggs at all, but hard boiled eggs kept in ice like premade eggs from the grocery store. I'm not into hard cooked yokes or super cold eggs with hot food. They refused to make new eggs and instead microwaved them to heat them instead of using hot water. As soon as they touched my plate, the EGGS EXPLODED ALL OVER ME. My hair, my face, clothes covered in egg explosion because they microwaved them. The worst part of this was that the girls working there didn't even flinch or apologize, or offer a napkin to clean it up or a comped pastry. The attitude of the women here doesn't have any sense of customer service. Just very snobby and spoiled. I don't know maybe they're young or something. Anyway, I showed her the pictures on yelp I used to order up front and she said they soft boil eggs at once in the morning and just use them. But none of the eggs we got were soft boiled, all fully cooked. Here is where things got super disturbing. The girl started crying and went to the back. About 5 other women went in after her and were acting like we did something wrong by asking for basic customer service on an order. I am a mother and have a baby, so ultimately even though the experience was terrible and we should have been refunded for our order and meal which was RUINED and aweful waiting for eggs to come out and explode on us.... I went up to the girl and said "sweetheart, I'm I very sorry for hurting your feelings and it was nothing personal at all. Just not what was advertised or expected" . She thanked me for apologizing to her. Such a terrible experience to pay for a dining experience and go through this. read more

This is my favorite cafe in the entire Bay Area! Everything on their menu is absolutely delicious, the coffee is 10/10, and their pastries are 10/10 (they even have themed desserts/pastries like Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc..). My husband and I come here often and their cheesecake is to die for! The separate menu where you order is also amazing -- you won't be disappointed. The service is also excellent. However, it is more of an order, pickup, and find where you'd like to sit; but I actually prefer that. The design/ambiance of the cafe is also super cute, and is often decorated based on the time of the year (again Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc..) it reminds me of cafes that are often found in European countries. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. I think anyone will love it just as much as I do. It does get pretty busy on the weekends just a forewarning. read more

Came here after a friend recommended it. We came just for dessert after getting lunch. My toddler picked out a chocolate dessert with raspberries. I can't remember the name of it. It was delicious and not that sweet. It almost was like a marshmallow with cake on the bottom. By itself the cake was a little dry so its best to eat it all together. I got the merengue cake. It was very sweet maybe a little too sweet for one person but great to share. I liked the decor but the tables got filled up fast. I can see it might feel a little cramped. I did see they had kids toys and we'll have to come back for breakfast or lunch for my toddler to enjoy them. read more

Haven't been here in a while but if I'm in the Los Gatos area, Lele is the place to go. A little on the pricy side but understandable considering the location.

Enjoyed a nice brunch here on New Years eve with my friends. The decor in the restaurant was cute with lots of plants and greenery. We didn't get any pastries but they looked oh so delicious. I opted for a savory dish and went with the homemade salted salmon toast. While it was good, the salmon slices was too thick and I felt the salmon itself overpowered the toast. It felt like I was eating sushi. My friend really enjoyed their waffles and pancakes though. It can get busy on the weekend, the line really never died down when we were there. read more

A very delicious bakery that offers unique and delicious baked goods with artisan coffees. The gruyere waffles are delicious along with any other breakfast plates that they serve. A bit on the pricey side but worth it. The inside was a lot smaller then expected and was pretty full on a Saturday morning. They have outdoor seating but due to the rain we elected to take everything to go. Gruyere Waffles With Sun-Dried Tomatoes And the Soft Egg and Homemade Salted Salmon Toast With Marinated Red Onions with two ube lattes was what we ordered. The lattes were smooth, frothy, and I could actually taste the ube. Both waffles and salmon toast were great. The salmon was unusually thick but was buttery tasting and literally melted in our mouths. It was our favorite of the two. Staff was friendly and answered all of our questions, even though the place was busy, our orders came out really fast. Gastro Maestro approved!! read more
