Location: Located on San Pablo in West Berkeley, it is a Conveniently located with a parking space. There's also plenty of street parking.
Wait times: we went on a rainy day and it was not too busy, but on a sunny day it's usually pretty busy during weekend peak lunch/brunch hours and you might even have to wait if you want a spot on the outside.
Ambience: pretty cozy but not too loud. There's indoor and outdoor seating areas. I prefer the outdoor one more. It's just beautiful. People do come here to work as in a cafe, but not all tables are available for that. Some tables are reserved specifically for patrons wanting to have a proper dining experience.
Service: you pretty much order at the counter and then grab a table. You need to pick up your drinks/desserts on your way to the table. The food gets served at your table. Even though we came in on a lunch hour on a not so busy day, it did take some time for our food to arrive. But all the staff is pretty friendly and polite.
Food: The food was overall good. The mango smoothie not so much. The teas from there tea bar are highly recommended. Of all the things we ordered, I'd recommend the Chicken Tayeb and the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich. I did however have moth eggs on a spinach leaf in my salad. Since I noticed it at the very end, I did not bother complaining, but the kitchen needs to pay more attention to cleaning the salad a bit more.
Overall it was a positive experience. 4 stars.
Cafe Leila is one of my favorite spots in Berkeley, great ambience and delicious food. Also has a really nice patio for nice days.
Great food, great atmosphere. Sat outside for Sunday brunch, listening to live music while I dined.
A bit pricey, but the food is very good and the coffee is excellent. Nice airy and well-lit interior seating area, spacious backyard seating area with plenty of sun, fountains, eclectic seating and decorations, plants. Along my favorite breakfast/brunch places.
Cafe Leila is one of my favorite places in Berkeley. If you walk outside looks like anyplace, but at the end there's a beautiful open space to have lunch.
I usually ask just a smoothie or something fresh, but yesterday I wanna eat a properly breakfast. My favorite meal!
I chose "Alex morning" and my only complain is the coffee, because it wasn't good. It tasted bitter.
Anyway, the food was good and this place is really cozy.????✨
