Lee’s Coffee & Tea

Historical building with lots of character in downtown Laurel. Variety menu with breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Menu is vegan friendly. Plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs with open seating and small books tucked away. There is a cabinet full of board games to meet up and play with friends. Art display with a mix of new art and historical photos of the town. Great mix with good vibes. Food is great, coffees, lattes and more. If you are visitor to the city, it's a great stop while visiting the Laurel area. If you are local, it's a neat place to meet with friends.

Just went to Lee's and ordered my wife a London Fog. Simple drink, just steamed milk, foam, earl gray or some English breakfast tea. What we got was tea, with milk. I tried to let the person know it wasn't correct and they said it was. Not feeling like I wanted to argue I threw it in the trash and went elsewhere. I used to really like this place but lately it has gone downhill. Not sure what is happening there but there are other places I can spend my money. -Response to the owner: Yes the drink I received was hot tea with milk. The milk was not steamed there was no foam, it looked like normal tea with milk would look like. Not like the Earl Gray Latte, or London Fog. I have made these drinks before and know what they look like, this was not it. We have also had occasion to have

Lees is located within the historical Sears Building with bits of elements remaining. Food, service and hospitality wonderful.

From 2015 to 2019 I had lunch at Lee's once sometimes twice a week. I recently went back and the food and the service was disappointing. I switched up and ordered hummus. It was watery and not smooth. Some of the bread was soggy, some was crunchy, some tasted stale. And it was such a small amount for $10. I was disappointed. I should've stuck to what I know. The service makes me not want to go back, not even for coffee. They have some of the best coffee, when prepared properly, since small coffee left town.

As a young woman in my early 20's I have never felt so comfortable and welcomed at a coffee restaurant. First off the young men that greeted me when I walked in were so polite and well mannered. They made ordering for my first time there so effortless. The building was so clean and very spacious, amazing sitting area. The food was spot on, the fruit was fresh and the coffee was amazing, not too sweet either. 10 out of 10 recommend
