I had heard great things about the coffee at Cafe Dear Leon and I thought I'd try something new. 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. read more

Yelp fam! I can't believe I haven't done a review on this Gem. Cafe Dear Leon is like that friend you had growing up who got famous but still checks in and hangs out with you. Even after they went viral they continue to provide a fantastic product, experience, atmosphere & vibe. Pro Tip* If you can find time to go during the week early you can really get in and out quickly. Great service as always. I usually go with an Iced Mocha- which is top tier Crab dip bagel - GOATed Honestly any pastry item from this bakery is great, they don't miss, Steph Curry type stuff. The staff is always nice and prompt. Highly recommend this spot. read more

I LOVE Cafe Dear Leon! This is a spot you'll want to take to-go, as there's no seating inside but there are some seats outside which may or may not be full on the weekends. I really want to highlight their cold cut sandwich. This is one of the best I've ever had. The salami, pesto, mozzarella and tomato complement each other perfectly. I'm not sure if they have this sandwich year round, but if they do then don't skip it! read more

Hands down the best bakery/cafe that I ever tried. Came here from Baltimore and the line wasn't that bad however the service and line moved quick. This location was big and had seating which was nice. The pastries and items they had was PHENOMENAL! read more

So there's not an awning or sign to locate the shop. But there will be a long line. Apparently the line is typically around the corner from what ppl say. But, the line wasn't this time. I got in line at 12:37 and left with my items by 1:08. They do take FOREVER and they only allow 6 ppl in at one time and it's STRICTLY enforced. I ordered the crab dip bagel, banana bread, s'mores cookie and monkey bread... my total was $30. I was wondering why something with crab was so cheap and that's because the little bit of crab that you see at the top of the bagel is all that you get. There was no crab throughout. It was mostly cream cheese and corn. And not much crab flavor. The banana bread lacked that uhmph... like it was missing something... maybe cinnamon or even more banana. The s'mores cookie was basic and too chocolatety for my liking. I ate the marshmallow/biscoff cookie top. Now the monkey bread was ok. Actually it's the best thing that I ordered really. It wasn't traditional in any way, it was croissant-textured, the passion fruit caramel is what steals the show. Definitely the best part. To be honest, I wouldn't go back. The long wait mixed with the bare minimum makes me realize that this was just an overhyped tiktok trend. read more

I'm glad I waited in the line! When I first walked up I didn't know what make of the line out front. Should I wait? Should I leave? I asked the couple in front of me if this was usual and they said yes but it moves quickly. I'm so glad I waited! The coffee and pastries were amazing. I had a seasonal coffee and a crab dip bagel. That bagel was pure heaven. There's no seating inside but there is some outdoor seating on the sidewalk. Friendly and fast service too. read more

We got in line around 9:20, and waited around 30-40 mins, but it went by pretty quick, also want to add there was a water cooler in line which is very thoughtful. They only allow 6 ppl inside at a time, which makes everything go by pretty fast once you order. I really appreciate how well prepared and organize they are. We got coffee, which was nothing special but it gets the job done! The pastries itself were all very flavorful and the croissants are so light, airy, and crispy. The sweet pastries are not too sweet and very delicious, and the crab dip bagel is worth the hype - it was incredibly flavorful and rich. The staff were all very nice and attentive, coming outside often to clean the tables and empty the trash cans. I understand the hype for this place and definitely recommend if you're in town. I will be back to try more pastries! read more

We came here after spending the day in Baltimore and not realizing we stumbled onto a bakery that had social media hype. The line was long but we were fine waiting and also understood the concept of their baking schedule and when items would be available. I unfortunately didn't try anything, as I have food allergies and having 4 items in mind nothing was available that I could eat by the time we got up to the front. My husband was able to try a few items and liked them but did mention how there was no reason for example for the ham and cheese croissant to be sprinkled with pistachio as it brought nothing to the flavor in his opinion and it would help offer more variety for folks to can't eat certain things. If we are in Baltimore again we may try it during the lunch hours, but breakfast hours won't work for folks to have any sort of nut, egg, dairy or soy allergy unless you show up super early to be first in line. I was advised to try their other location which apparently has less crowd and more likely to get items all day. read more

When I say that this was worth every dollar they charged me of the $58 I spent... I would do it all over again with no hesitation. Every last thing was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful, there was a short line outside because it's a very small shop, but it went very quickly and the environment was very friendly. Iced coffee, and iced tea was delightful, but the food is a star of the show. The focaccia, bacon egg and cheese was so crispy and the egg was so soft and it had just enough flavor to leave you wanting more. My friend really loved the egg salad sandwich that they got, they especially loved the runny egg in it and the flavor was excellent they said. We shared the crème brûlée and the doughnut, both were subtly, sweet and very well done. The flavors were just so well executed. The crème brûlée was dangerous... I could've eaten several more, and this is most definitely going to be one of my stops coming back to Baltimore. If you have a chance, try it. read more

Whenever I'm in Baltimore in the morning/early afternoon I make sure that I head to one place... and that's Cafe Dear Leon. Their crab dip bagels are sooo sooo good. I tried them out for the first time last year and then again a week ago and everything was exactly as I remember it to be. Friendly service, hot and fresh food and not too long of a wait The inside of the cafe is also very well organized with a small retail space filled with merch and plants. They do a great job making the most of the small space, it's a very homey feel. I haven't tried anything else on the menu lol but other items in their case look delicious with sweet and savory options. Highly recommend especially because parking isn't too bad during the day. Support this small, local business. read more

Needless to say, everything I tried was delicious. My personal favorites were the Smoked Salmon on Everything Focaccia (12/10) and the Basque Cheesecake (10/10). The smoked salmon focaccia is incredibly rich and well-balanced. The scallion cream cheese is deep and flavorful, pairing beautifully with the crispy pickled onions, caper berries, and fresh arugula, which add brightness and layered aromas to the sandwich. I truly can't recommend this focaccia enough--and the portion is generous. I ended up sharing half with my friend! The Basque cheesecake is dense and indulgent, bursting with cheesy flavor without being overly sweet. It's the perfect companion to a cup of coffee. The staff were gentle and very attentive to hygiene. They spoke softly when near the food and were warm and enthusiastic at the counter. The space itself feels cozy and inviting. I can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Ventured up to Baltimore to hangout for the day coming from DC. Cafe Dear Leon has been on my list for some time now and I was so excited to try. I went on a Wednesday so no line and plenty of goods still in stock. Had to get the crab dip bagel. It really is that good. Never sure nowadays what is hype and what actually tastes good but the bagel was amazing. I was debating getting another crab dip bagel to take home and eat later. It has a generous about of crab in it and they serve it warm. I recommend eating the crab dip bagel soon after you receive your order. Yes, you could place it in the microwave at home but I don't think it's the same experience. I also got a s'mores cookie for dessert. It was very good as well. My total came out to $16 for my two items. The crab dip bagel was $10-$11 and the cookie $4, plus tax. I will be back for sure!! read more

The hype is real. The crab dip bagel is THAT GOOD. A must try if you love crab and visiting or haven't been. I think it's something everyone should at least try once. However, everything else on the menu is also incredible. My mom loves their croissants and raves about them. I unfortunately have tried 2-3 drinks and never liked any of them - either they aren't sweet enough or the flavor profile isn't what I imagined. It may take a while to get the food but is worth the wait! Go to the Remington location for more spacious and sit down location! read more

Cafe Dear Leone is exactly as hyped as everyone says. As you can see in the photos, all the items are pictured, and yes, there is always a line down the block. I was not excited about standing in line at all, but I had to try the crab bagel, so here we are. The wait was about 30 minutes, and it was hot outside, but it was absolutely worth it. Once inside, we had a lot of questions. Even though the staff was clearly focused on moving the line along, they were calm, kind, and genuinely helpful. We didn't linger, but we never felt rushed in a bad way. The space itself is very small, so there is really no room to hang out and enjoy your food there. Since we already survived the line, we figured we might as well order everything that caught our attention. My favorite item ended up being the Tamgo Sando. I would stand in that line every day for that sandwich, or honestly just for the recipe. read more

I've been wanting to try this bakery for quite some time. I don't know why, but I've been on this bakery kick for the past few months. This place has rave reviews. My partner & I came through on a rainy day, hoping there wouldn't be a long line. It wasn't that long. It helps that they have a heated awning to wait under. It was a bit cool, so that was great. It didn't take us long to get inside. We studied the menu while we waited. I ordered the crab tamago sando. I was initially planning for the smoked salmon, but since that's my go-to, I thought I'd try something different. It tasted like an egg salad sandwich with crab. There was enough crab in the sandwich that I could taste it. I also ordered the Koginut Pumpkin Tart, Toffee cookie, and chocolate chip cookie. OMG, those sweets were delicious. That's my Achilles heel------- sweets. If I return, I'll opt for the Salmon! And of course, more cookies! read more

I have been wanting to try Cafe Dear Leon's crab tamago sando since I moved to Baltimore! After hearing so many people's reviews and recs, I checked out their instagram before visiting to make sure I arrived in time for their bake time which was 11AM. I got there on a Friday at 10:40ish and there were two groups in line ahead of us. The line area had heated lamps to keep us warm which was nice and there's plenty of street parking around the block. Once we got in, we were able to order quickly and also get our orders pretty quickly. The staff were super nice and helped with other recommendations that were available. I tried the fig lavender fog? which was amazing!! And the crab tamago sando did not disappoint! My sister, who was visiting from NYC also really enjoyed it and said she would return just for the sando. Will be back for the pear vanilla danish! I highly recommend Cafe Dear Leon and can't wait to try their new location La Maison soon! read more

Café Dear Leon - Crab tamago sando, vanilla maritozzi - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

the brief: cozy and cute spot located in the Canton area of Baltimore. Delicious baked goods with a very calming/peaceful aesthetic all around the store. All of the staff was super nice too. Plan accordingly for a wait though. how it works: the shop itself is pretty small. They only allow like 6 patrons in at a time, so if you're not one of the 6 people ordering or waiting on an order, you're supposed to wait in a line outside. I will say it's not very fast either. I ordered 4 baked goods and it took around 10-15 minutes. Even the barista orders were taking around that time (big caveat: a lot of their beverages are fancy and take time to actually make). So basically you can expect your spot to take roughly 5-10 minutes for each person that's ahead of you if you're waiting in line. Depending on the time of the day (like 6:00AM vs 7:30AM and not just breakfast/lunch/dinner), the menu is different. You should definitely check their menu ahead of time so you can appropriately time what you're going to get. how's it taste: delicious. Everything was good. Great balance on everything and all the pastries were flaky and soft. Everything that I'm looking for in a cafè bite. They don't have much seating aside from the outdoor venue, but you can totally take advantage of some of the cute places in the Canton area especially on a nice day. Very nice spot in Baltimore and would totally recommend checking it out. read more

3 years later and the same complaint stands. The people working inside are nice but again I just cannot get on board with their business model. Yes they've opened La Maison in Remington and maybe that siphons some of the business that way, but there is always a line here. Though the wait this time was 15 minutes instead of 40 minutes and it was Friday at 9:30am. I wasn't actually anticipating that I would end up getting the infamous crab dip bagel on a Friday morning well past the 7:30am bake schedule drop time, but I managed to snag what looked like the last one (I actually don't know if they keep on making this one item throughout the day to have just have some available always). And yes. Its delicious. I get it. But man imagine if the person in front of me had snagged that last one as I stood behind them. (Happened the last time I was here with the tamago sandwich). But luck was on my side this time. Once they took my order I was in and was out of the store within 5 minutes. I also got the mushroom tart which served with the garlic aioli is so dang good. And the tiramisu brioche. Good lord who even conceived of such a thing? Diabolical in a good way. Man if only they had some way of mitigating the line situation. Rest assured you won't ever catch me going there on a weekend. read more

Came here before my best friends graduation reception. It is definitely a quaint spot. Super cute and small. They let 6 people in at a time. The line is outside the door for this reason. Menus are outside with all offerings. The cashier was super patient and nice! I really appreciated that since we were ordering multiple items. I loved the crab bagel! Not sure why it has corn in it but it still tasted good! The crème brulee tart was tasty but messy. The mascarpone stuffed bread was light and delicious! I'm not sure of the names of everything but we got about 7 things to share. I would definitely recommend going! It is worth the trip! read more

12/10 highly recommend! If you're curious or on the fence about this place, please go! I visited after leaving town for a brief visit after a friend highly recommended it and it's the best bakery I've been to in a very long time. The pastry is delectable, and the service was lightning fast. It is a very tight space and it only allows 6-people inside the shop at a time so pack your patience when you plan your visit, especially if you arrive and there's a line. They move so quickly with the orders I wasn't even bothered. The strawberry & lavender danish was so good I'm sad I didn't order two. I also tried a honey lavender iced matcha and was very impressed, although it was small I liked it. I can't wait for another opportunity to visit the city because Café Dear Leon will be one of my first stops! read more

Café Dear Leon - Strawberry & lavender danish - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Café Dear Leon is the most charming bakery in Canton. The smell of fresh butter and espresso hits you the second you walk in. The pastries are incredible and everything looks like it came straight out of a Paris bakery. My personal favorites are the almond croissant and the crab tamago, though you really can't go wrong with anything. The staff are so kind, and even though there's always a (very very longggg) line, it moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. Seating is limited and the patio isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but it's a great area for walking. I'd recommend getting here really early and pairing any pastry with a creamy latte and strolling around canton for a lovely morning. read more

A small cozy café my friends introduced me to this place when I was visiting Maryland! What's really unique about Café de Leon is that they have new items that roll out depending on what time it is in the day! The items offered are also pretty in tune with what time it is for example you'll get more classic breakfast items at 9 AM whereas at 11 they have some of the more savory pastries! We waited in line for about 20 minutes and even though we arrived a few minutes before their 11 AM lunch they were kind enough to let us order the salmon focaccia sandwich. It was admittedly very hard to decide which pastry to get. All the pastries were beautifully made, and decorated that it was also a really good mix between sweet and savory. We ended up opting for the salmon, focaccia sandwich, the chocolate croissants, the blueberry danish, and a coffee bun. I cannot stress enough you need to get the salmon sandwich. The fish was absolutely fresh and paired really nicely with the cream cheese, the capers and the pickled red onions. The pastries were also very good with my favorite being the blueberry, lemon ricotta danish. I absolutely loved the texture the cream and the blueberries on top were very very ripe. Note that this is a really small café and so they do limit how many people are allowed to stand in the store at a time. What that means though is even if the line looks long, it goes by pretty quickly. Can't wait to have an opportunity to come back to this delicious café and try some of their other menu items. I love that. They also rotate their menu items and so if I come back next month, there will be new things for me to try! read more

This small business in the Canton area is one of Baltimore's Yelp to go to. I decided to adventure here to see what the hype is about. Parking is limited and challenging depending on the day and time coming here. There is a sign posted on a viewable stand alerting patrons that they are asking for no more then 6 persons in the shop due to their small space. No worries for the cold weather outdoor wait,because this is by far popular, the assist with a covered waiting area directly in front of the store equipped with heating lamps above. While waiting there are menus for food and drinks hanging up. The pastries and other food comes out by specified time mentioned on the menus. It didnt take long waiting outside before I was entering. The staff were working like minions and the cashier greeted with a smile and took my quickly.I selected the creme brulee tart and a carrot cake latte made with oatmilk. Within 3 minutes my latte and pastry was handed over to me. The latte was okay but the creme brulee tart was and is worth having to workout in the gym hardcore for 30 days straight. The wait, challenging parking and whatever else is WORTH me eating and loving my pastry. Its a little pricey but a tasty pricey is what it is. Dear Leon is definitely a perfect sweet spot that is a must go for pastries, atleast my creme brulee tart said so. read more

The crab dip bagel alone was worth the 45 min drive from DC and 20min wait in line. They only let about 6 people in at a time and there is always a line so take that into account if you're planning to go during the colder weather days. Getting my order was pretty quick once I got inside the cafe. They have an upstairs bathroom as well. Now for the crab drip bagel. My goodness! It was so soft and perfectly baked with a beautiful corn and cheese crust on top. It has the perfect amount of crab mixed with the cream cheese filling. I am looking forward to visiting again to try their other pastries and the Sando sandwich. read more

Got the Tamago Sando, Crab Tamago Sando, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and Oat Scone. The menu changes depending on the time of day, so I would check their Instagram for the hourly menu. I recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the menu drops, as we got there at 11:40 for the 11am menu, and some items were already sold out. The sandos and pastries were solid, but the flavors were nothing extraordinary and the crab sando did not have as much crab as we expected, considering the prices. But there are many other items we didn't get to try, like the Crab Dip Bagel, which looks really popular. I will definitely be back. read more

I finally made it to Café Dear Leon! I've heard so many great things, so I just had to make the trek down to Baltimore. It's located really close to the Canton waterfront, and it's a small cafe with very limited space. They only allow six people inside at a time so I had to wait outside in a line for a quick few minutes. I did come on a Tuesday morning, so there wasn't a crowd. Of course I had to get the crab dip bagel! It was very creamy and filled with an adequate amount of crab meat. I also loved the old bay sprinkled on top. It's a bit overwhelming for one sitting, so I split it across two days. I also ordered the koginut pumpkin tart. Absolutely delicious! The pumpkin filling was so tasty and I enjoyed every bite. I ordered a hot baklava latte with oat milk for my drink, and it tasted great as well. I didn't think it was too sweet, but I believe I tasted honey, and it was topped with pistachio crumbles. I can't wait to come back to try their other baked goods and drinks! read more

I heard of the crab bagel on Instagram, so it was definitely on my list to try. I went on a Thursday morning and waited about 5-10 minutes before being let inside. Only around six people are allowed in at a time because of how small the bakery is. I ordered a drip coffee with cardamom and, of course, the famous crab bagel. The coffee was solid, but the real star was the bagel. It's filled with a creamy crab mixture and sweet corn, slightly sweet but balanced perfectly with the salty Old Bay flavor. The bagel is huge, rich, and super filling. Definitely worth the price! read more

The hype about this place is real! So much so that I'm already planning the next time I'm going back. I had to check out the viral crab dip bagel that's been all over social media and I'm so glad I did. The wait wasn't as bad as I anticipated having gone on a Saturday morning around 7:30/8 am (20-25 min wait). The store itself can only fit about 6 people at a time so be mindful of that. The cashier was amazingly friendly giving me details about the menu and explaining the rotation of the drinks while I waited. She made my experience there 10x better. The bagel was the perfect amount of crispy and the crap dip was so flavorful. I was even pleasantly surprised by the corn pieces in there. I will say it was a little too salty probably because of the Old Bay. I also ordered a baklava coffee (they change their seasonal drink menus often). I liked it but after a while got tired of the pistachio pieces in the drink. The other desserts look soooo good and I can't wait to be back and try more things (along with getting the crab dip bagel again). There's also a little seating area outside where you can sit and enjoy your meal (or if you want to, you can walk about 5 min down to canton waterfront and enjoy your food with a view). read more

Cafe Dear Leon knocked it out of the park as usual! The new seasonal passion fruit and coconut Danish with pandan caramel at the base was a phenomenal combination of flavors that worked perfectly together. The lamination on the pastry was so good. The presentation was gorgeous. I got to try the lunch menu for the first time and the stracciatella and cauliflower on focaccia was absolutely delicious - a friend and I spit it and loved the flavors. The sauce was perfect and the cheese was so creamy! The service was friendly and fast as always, despite the long lines. My friends loved their coffee, especially the flat white with herbs. The cookie trompette wasn't on the menu, but when I saw them bring it out I snapped one up and it was wonderful - so rich and so delicious, like the best chocolate chip cookie merged with a croissant. I was so impressed and so happy. I really think this is one of the best bakeries - maybe the best bakery? - in the DMV! read more
