★★★★★ 5.0 Stephy Leung · Nov 2025

At Léa French Café , I ordered the spinach quiche and the overnight oatmeal. The quiche is much thicker than expected, yet incredibly smooth and flavorful, with plenty of filling inside. The crust has a strong buttery aroma that pairs perfectly with the soft, custardy center. The overnight oatmeal is excellent — the oats are intact with a great texture, lightly sweet with a milky flavor, and the raisins add a nice touch. It’s honestly one of the best overnight oatmeals I’ve ever had. A very satisfying brunch overall.

I ordered the veggie sandwich with avocado, egg, and cheese, but was a bit disappointed by how little avocado was included — you could barely see or taste it. That said, the menu has a nice variety of options. I got the overnight oats as a $1 side, and they were surprisingly very good! The space itself is really lovely, and they offer some great-looking salads that I’d like to try next time. Overall, it’s worth a try!

A great way to start the day, before exploring the city even if it is a rainy day. So many great places to explore, this stop should be on your list. The food was awesome and the iced coffee was just as good. It was a great way to fuel up and relax in a beautiful restaurant. The staff was super nice and friendly. Definitely, taking some treats to go.

Spectacular, truly exquisite modern French bistro. Brunch around 10:30am on a Sunday and it was full but not jam packed. The Pear Tarte and quiche Loraine were perfect and I took many baked goods to go, despite the need to make space in my suitcase for a flight back home. This is a must when visiting the area. I would love to have an opportunity to try more items from the menu on a future visit

i usually come to leâ parisian sandwiches about three times a week for breakfast, but today was very disappointing. my croissant (avocado, cheddar, egg) had almost no avocado in it. my chicken avocado sandwich was worse — the chicken was ice-cold, like it came straight from the freezer, and the bread was also cold and hard. even though i selected olive oil, i couldn’t taste it at all. i paid around $23–24 for this order and sadly couldn’t eat it — i had to throw it away. i really enjoy this place, which is why this experience was so frustrating. i hope management sees this feedback and takes action, because customers should be able to expect the same quality every visit.
