I had heard great things about the coffee at Cafe Dear Leon and I thought I'd try something new…read more Why five stars: *Incredible vegan friendly drinks! I ordered a Brazilian Yuzuade with Espresso and a Japanese Cold Brew with Oat Milk. Both were great, the Yuzuade was extremely pleasing. I wasn't expecting much from it (citrus and coffee?) but it was my favorite of the two. *Line moves quick. When I arrived, there was a line out the door. I was able to order in a lot less time than it seemed. *Personable service. The Cafe limits the number of guests inside at one time to six. This allowed the staff to focus their energy on only a few people at a time. I ordered the drinks about an hour a part and the person at the register remembered me and struck up a conversation about my earlier order. Despite the five stars, what don't I like? *No vegan baked goods. I will definitely be returning to Cafe Dear Leon because there is ample parking, the prices are good and the drinks are awesome.

Finally made it to the most talked-about bakery and yes... I stood in line wondering if it was all…read morehype. It wasn't. This place is the real deal. Hands down, the best almond croissant in town. Perfectly flaky with a generous almond filling that tastes rich and authentic. I also tried their Brazilian drink and added matcha to it, and it was incredibly refreshing. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting it to be that good! I ordered the veggie sandwiches too-fresh, delicious, and very filling. I can't wait to come back. The only thing I missed was a place to sit and really savor it. The outdoor seating is limited, and the glass canopy doesn't do much to keep the heat away. So I ended up enjoying my breakfast on the park bench next door... and honestly, it wasn't a bad spot at all. One tip: they're a small-batch bakery with a set menu available during specific hours, so check their timings before you go.

Undeniably one of the highlights of my recent Baltimore trip.

Jaydein's lovely personality infuses the whole place with his positive energy. He loves their cookies and gelato as much as I do and is still excited to suggest new flavours. Of course their Pignoli nut cookies are still my childhood favourite, but tonight we were wowed by the slim round Raisin Walnut Cookies located on the top shelf to the far right. I also love their Biscotti, my favourites being the pistachio and the one with dried cranberries. We ate a bunch in store to try them out and then bought another large box to go. This is a must stop if you love Italian cookies.

I love that this place stays open till 10pm on most days, I'm a sucker for an all day cafe. The vibes are immaculate, the drinks are good, and they have a bar!

The food, unfortunately, did not live up to the atmosphere. It felt like the menu may be trying to do too much for too little, and my sandwich was underwhelming for the price. I honestly would have preferred a simpler or smaller menu, or paying a little more, if it meant it was done really well. I would still return for the space and coffee, and I genuinely hope they refine things a bit because the foundation is solid.

The two cupcakes I got were seriously the best cupcakes I've ever had. I went in the evening and found parking right out front. I paid $9 for two cupcakes and I got the Triple Chocolate & Peanut butter cupcake. Customer service was excellent! They've been in the area for a while so I'm glad I got a chance to try them out. Packaging was super cute and they have frozen yogurt too! Can't wait to go back and try more flavors and the frozen yogurt. They have a gluten free and vegan cupcake option which is great. Highly recommend!!

Alex, who is the owner keeps his price is really really fair and cheap like an espresso is $1.75! He also doesn't charge for credit card fees which can be standard for small businesses, and sometimes he has breakfast, but it usually sells out really quickly. The man operates this coffee shop because he just loves doing it. This is like if you walked into a coffee shop in Cuba, Alex used to sell cigars here in the 90s! He's half Spanish and the coffee he makes is delightful! I got a topo Chico and coffee for five dollars which is actually wild! This is definitely not your one of the mill new hipster bougie coffee shop. This is just this man's house where he makes you coffee. Plenty of sitting on the inside, and I usually drink my espresso at the bar!
