We went on Mother's Day, so it was packed. We ordered our food to go and waited about an hour for it. Seating inside is very limited, and the outdoor tables are set up in a loading dock area. Definitely a little odd since the restaurant is located inside an office building. That said, the food was very good. The drinks, unfortunately, were warm, and the hostess wasn't the friendliest. On a positive note, the flower vendor outside was incredibly kind. Honestly, the best part ended up being taking our food to a nearby park and enjoying it there.

Leora is a great spot. I've visited a few times now and it's always consistent. Service is always excellent and the staff truly care. A hidden gem for LA restaurants. Menu has a great selection. The frozen coffee is fantastic it reminds me of Tim Horton's. For food, I tried the breakfast burrito. The eggs are a soft scramble perfectly cooked with a high quality avocado. I recommend getting a side of spicy chipotle mayo. My friend also loved the avocado toast. I'm excited to try more of the menu next time!

Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap
Paige A.

First time here and it was a little tricky to find, but apparently there are a few different ways to get in. Once you're there, though, it's such a cute spot. They have an intimate outdoor patio along with some indoor seating options, which I loved. Service was super friendly, and I got lucky, no line when I arrived. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk. It was good, just not the best matcha I've had in LA. The packaging, though? So cute. The chicken Caesar wrap definitely lived up to the hype, so delicious. The texture was perfect and the portion was solid. I literally had to pause halfway because I was so full. Next time I'm trying one of their frozen coffees. I saw a guy sipping on one while waiting for his food, and finished it, assuming it's tasty... it has to be, right? Definitely would love to try other food options as well, everything looked very fresh.

Holy Schnitz, Tuna Melt, French Fries, Frozen Coffee, and Nutella Banana Smoothie. SOOO good
Rachel C.

My husband and I came for a late lunch around 3pm today (Saturday), and we had such a great time! The place is PACKED and we fully expected to wait for a long time for a table, but we put our name in and were seated roughly 10 minutes later. My husband and I ordered the tuna melt, the holy schnitz, and a side of fries. We also got a frozen coffee and a Nutella/banana smoothie. WOW. The tuna melt is truly the best I've ever had - the ratio between tuna, cheese, and bread is *chef's kiss*. We saw that it had gone viral, and there is a great reason for it. And if you're looking to up the sandwich even more, ordering a side of chipotle aioli to put on the tuna made for one of the most delicious sandwiches I've truly ever had. The holy schnitz was also amazing, and I also put some of the chipotle aioli on it. I'm pretty sure I could eat that by itself though - it is SO good. The tahini flavor is definitely strong, so that is something to consider flavor-wise, but I thought it was so tasty. It is also HUGE, and I brought home half to eat later. The fries are perfect. Perfectly crispy, perfectly thin, perfectly seasoned. A side order is great for 2 people. The drinks were also SO good. Love the aesthetic in the cute soda can-style bottles (someone else said '2016 aesthetic' and I totally agree). Loved loved loved this place. Also, our waitress was SO kind. We asked about the side sauces and didn't know which we wanted, and she offered to bring out one of each immediately. She also checked on us a handful of times (but not in an overbearing way at all), and made sure we knew we could sit for as long as we wanted, even though the place seemed to be closing shortly. I would definitely come back here!!! Can't wait to try so many things on the menu.

Frozen Coffee

2016 aesthetic is back?! I came to LEORA because of social media posts about the cute cans that fit the 2016 era. I finally found the time to come here with a friend on a late Saturday afternoon to grab a bite. Finding this place can be really tricky since they're located behind a few office buildings and maps doesn't exactly know where it is and will make you make a lot of turns. If you go down W 3rd St, there's a long strip of parking spots that require a paid parking meter. You can see the white signs that direct you to their storefront! It was pretty busy on a Saturday late afternoon at 3pm! Our plan was to walk-in and get a table but it was an hour wait so we opted for their take-out instead! I did notice that they had quite a few tables available but it had a reserved plaque on it so definitely get a reservation (on their website) prior to coming here if you don't want to wait. The take-out process was quite easy! If you don't want to wait, they also have their own app so you can place your order ahead of time. You walk into the store and a cashier will take your order! We wanted their banana bread that's displayed in a transparent display but there was a pretty big fly trapped inside so we decided not to at the last minute. We did order their frozen coffee, garlic fries, and chicken caesar wrap. The total ended up being $50. Food: Frozen Coffee (7/10): I loved the can aesthetic that they use! They store most of their take-out drinks in this plastic cup with a soda can lid stapled on top of it. The coffee was just okay. It was creamy, not too sweet, and was just a regular frozen coffee taste. Not sure if it was just us, but we couldn't keep the cup because the lid was impossible to remove. Chicken Caesar Wrap (7/10): This wrap was massive! It was tightly wrapped and packed with tons of grilled chicken, lettuce, but very few croutons. They sear one side of the tortilla which adds a nice char to the taste! They also give a side of dressing but it was too watery and lemony for my preference. I prefer my dressings to be thicker and creamier. Garlic Fries (7/10): These were shoestring dressed with garlic (oil?) and parsley! The fries were amazing. They came out fresh and crispy with a side of Heinz ketchup. I was searching for the garlic bits and flavor within the fries but had a hard time finding both. I wished there were garlic bits that came with the fries so it adds a little depth to the flavor. These were snacky but definitely finish these because we had some leftover and it didn't taste as good after the hot-out of the fryer time period.

Solid brunch spot walking distance to a farmers market. We got the bagel and the burrito, with complementary French toast from the waiter who went above and beyond with everything we needed. He also recommended the best way to order the burrito and it came out delicious. The coffee was alright, a little too sweet and diluted but the bottle being a can was pretty neat. The bagel was unique with the shape but the bread was a bit dense and dry. Food: 7/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 7.5/10

Leora Yogurt Parfait

Returned recently and the pistachio lavender latte is still perfect. Also love their breakfast burrito, omelette, fruit plate and frozen coffee. I like the blueberry scone as well, but the chocolate chip cookie is better. Carrot cake is ok, olive oil cake is amazing!

Jerusalem Bagel
Hannah C.

I was so curious if the food at Leora would live up to the hype. I brought some friends here for Sunday brunch around noon. The wait was about an hour and the line did not die down. Luckily the Beverly Hills Farmers Market kept us busy. I ordered the Jerusalem bagel, my friends ordered the Huevos Rancheros & the smoked salmon and tater tots. We all got a round of Iced matcha - mine was frozen. Presentation was amazing (I mean look at my bagel picture) and as someone who gets full easily - I finished the whole thing, not a crumb left. My least favorite part of the meal was probably the frozen matcha. It was on the sweeter side and had more ice than liquid if that makes sense. Regardless this is such a cute spot to catch up with friends. Just be ready for a wait!

Tuna Sandwich

This was so incredibly filling, but very flavorful cafe food on a very pretty porch outside. Their iced latte was good, but would go back and try their famous frozen matcha or coffee.

Tuna Melt and Matcha Latte
Ann L.

Small cafe on the first floor of a business building. Been out here a couple of times after errands and they are always sooooo busy. Let me tell you the food is fantastic so not surprised. Tuna melt was phenomenal. Made if albacore tuna salad on a perfectly crisp toast. Every bite had THE best crunch with a mouthful of just the right amount of thick savory tuna salad. Sooo incredible. Must try. Also tried the chicken shawarma bowl. This was also fantastic. Made with kosher grilled chicken skewer in a bed of basmati rice, lettuce, pickled radish, freshly chopped Israeli salad, thick creamy eggplant, and tahini sauce on the side. Sooooo incredibly delicious. Of course we had to have our daily matchas. This was also refreshing. Would love to try their Jerusalem bagels the next time. Highly recommend. Just give yourself extra time as this place seems to be busy at all hours.

Let me start by saying... the frozen coffee. Ever since the day I had it, I think about it daily. Perfectly balanced, not overly sweet...just so good. The food was great too, but I definitely need to go back for the tuna melt everyone keeps raving about. Parking and finding the place was a little confusing at first, but trust the process, it's exactly what it looks like. If you think you're going the wrong way, you're not. You literally enter through an alley/car entrance.

An awesome little hidden café attached to a small office park in Beverly Hills. You cannot see the café from the street but as you walk up, you will hear the noise of the music and the chatter of people and it does feel like a little oasis in the middle of the city. There are many parking spaces around for the office building, but we decided to just park on the street, which is a short walk to the front door. Inside is pretty large, they have indoor and outdoor seating and is surprisingly larger than I was expecting. The menu is actually very large and it has a lot of great options on it. Service was a bit slow for us and when we arrived, we stood there for a while at the "please wait to be seated" sign but no one was on duty so that was a bit of a bad introduction, but it got better from there. I had heard many great things about the Tuna Melt so I decided to try that for my brunch and added avocado. I thought it was fantastic and I especially appreciated how crispy the bread was. I also ordered a Salted Caramel Latte and that too was very nice although I wish it would've been a bit larger in size. Overall, this is a great little café that is especially great for breakfast or lunch. I would recommend and I plan to be back again in the near future.

Sesame Ginger Salad
Lenore N.

This very trendy spot was understaffed, disorganized and had confused staff. That is not to say that the food wasn't delicious because it was. The line was long. Lots of young families. Prices were reasonable. Interesting combinations. I loved the hummus and crudite starter with rainbow radishes and carrots. My chicken salad was the least appetizing. The veg were chopped too thin and the chicken was not hot. The breading fell off of every piece but the ginger dressing was tasty. I did not see any sesame. I went to the ladies room which was strewn with paper all over the floor and the stalls were out of toilet paper. When I mentioned it to a staff member she said that the restrooms were in the UTA building and they had no control. Get it together, folks.

Is the chicken kosher? I know the restaurant isn't kosher, but was wondering if the chicken itself is kosher.

we do have kosher chicken upon request!

There's a really strong mango and coconut flavor, though the grapefruit can be a little bitter. The service worker there was also very kind and answered a lot of my and the other guests' questions.

There is also some street parking available, though it can be a bit difficult to find an open spot. Service at this location is okay, sometimes good and friendly and other times not so much. It doesn't bother me too much since I don't interact with them very often though. I usually order online and pick up at the counter, which I find much more convenient. Recently, I believe they extended the delivery area on the map to LA, but I haven't gotten the chance to try that out yet. They often run offers and promotions on their app, so I definitely recommend ordering online. You can also add a sticker to your cup when ordering online (if you draw your own it takes about a day to get it approved)! The interior is pretty small, so more of a grab-n-go, and it has a nice modern, clean aesthetic. The drinks are consistently pretty great! My go‑to orders are the Mango Coconut Boom and the Mango Grapefruit Boom. Super refreshing and fruity and the grapefruit adds a little tart, sour kick to the mango. I also really like the Triple Supreme Matcha and I recently tried the new seasonal King Jasmine Guava, and it wasn't bad at all too (the stickers are also super cute). Overall, really happy that this location opened, and the drinks are super good and keep me coming back.

It is pricey (maybe the priciest out there) but every element of the experience is top tier and you get what you pay for. The sandwiches, scones, and pastries are actually high quality and delicious. I love the variety of the sandwiches with some twists and premium ingredients like caviar. The scones are my favorite and not dry at all, it's served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and a berry jam - absolutely delicious. There's a lot of tea choices to choose from that will cater to a variety of tastes. The ambiance is what sets this afternoon tea apart from the rest. There's a live harpist! The Living Room decor feels very posh, the plates and cups have pretty designs, and the set is served on a silver 3-tier stand. The service is also fantastic! They kept coming back to refill our tea.

The breeze knows this and thus its best to control itself because it knows its place in relation to this girl. If you make the decision, I recommend going on a day where you can absorb the classy and elegant (that slightly borders on stiff traditionally) vibe because no one deserves to have a troubled mind when enjoying luxurious tea. It is like a big sports guy, going to the Super Bowl, when back home they have a leaky faucet that is near full rupture but he cannot do anything until Monday. How is he suppose to enjoy viewing a fumble or bouncing cheerleaders or a roaring crowd with costumed fans, if there is a drip drip of worry in his mind that he cannot wrench into closing. I guess, this space is like a zen garden, where one goes to be present, not just to checkmark a daily meal. I say all that because I was silent for long moments, and I apologized to Ronnie for not engaging in conversation. And she said, "I understand, you are taking it all in." So this place is also a gallery of fancy, where one experiences tea in the cushions of Beverly Hills rarefied air. When I was there, I saw a large group of girls attending a baby shower. To me, it was a like small movie scene. All of them were gathered in a group, like lilies in a special patch, looking all pretty in nice dresses, long flowing hair, and were all smiles and refined in movement, taste and persona. I wondered why they were talking about? Ronnie anchored me back to reality and said, they are probably just catching up, just like us. She makes a good point--- a baby shower in a fancy tea room, is no different than a baby shower held in a back yard. Every one is there to give well-wishes and gifts, eat good food, and chat. There are obvious ways in which these two experiences are different but at their core they were the same: a group of people gathering to celebrate a coming child. One place just does it with white linens ironed to precious quality, while the other is limited to folded tables set up carefully so they don't break. I share this so that the reader knows that this place is so fancy, that I felt like I did not just have tea, I more felt like I was in a place that redefined fancy for me, and that in itself, is worth more than the 150.00 dollars I paid to sip rose tea. But still I would not do it again, because to sip rose tea and be pampered like a princess cost me 150.00 dollars. To translate this into a Yelp message: Go as a once in a life time experience to understand how the 1 percent enjoys their tea, and hopefully that adds to all that shapes your perspective of the world. I want to truly stress, that this slow moving experience, in a wondrous way, redefined what fancy is because I never saw fancy be effortless lazy yet still be extravagant and gorgeous. I was a guy there. There was another guy there, enjoying tea alone. But everyone else read female. So this place is women centered because who is taught to have tea parties at a young age? I mean there is no tea party with cups that show the Hulk and Iron man. So this is. a girlie fantasy. Look at my pictures, even though there are few one can see pink ribbons, floral patterns, precious and dainty flowers, and fashion carried by hats. I went because I am comfortable stepping outside gender roles but not everyone is. So, I guess, I am saying that afternoon tea, all adorn with teas, is mostly for girls, shocking I know. The food was superb. I remember the chicken salad sandwich fondly. I remember the strawberries and cream. I remember being handed a warm towel to wipe my hands clean. I remember lounging, but again, this is more of an experience. Like I can have high tea again, but not like this because it is too precious to revisit on rewind. I rather have this be a bubble that strolls down Rodeo and Sunset than it be popped by another visit. I remember all of it as a kind of dream, which makes it more precious. There was also a harp player. But I am not going to say I was in heaven, that reach is too easy. Plus, I did not feel like I was in heaven, even though I sat in a cloud. I noticed to much, and thought to much about my surroundings. I was not at peace. I was in rest. The difference being is that peace comes with out thought, and rest can come with an analysis. Think I am wrong? Then imagine a genius doing Sodukus for fun---- he is not in peace because he is being challenged, but he is in rest because she can find quiet pleasure in finishing the mental challenge in record time. I realize that I took a long way to say the following: the place is gorgeous, the food is sensational, the graces both big and small, mix into a pleasurable experience that makes one say, that was certainly fancy to the sky!
