Ruined my plans, because they can't have the right info about the working hours on google. I was specifically looking for the coffee shop thats open until 7 so I can do important stuff on my laptop. Came around 5.45pm, they almost had no food, but thats ok, I git croissant and coffee. Just got ready to work, and while chewing my first bite I hear them say we are now closing. I asked of I can at least finish my food, and heard again "we are now closed"... usually places warm customers at the cashier "just to let you know we close in 15 mins". So I could not finish my croissant, and had to cancel my plans. Very dissipated with disinformation and customer service. read more

I got the blue matcha and it just tasted like blueberry flavored milk. I heard good things about this place but I won't be back

Layla & Ringo's is a charming new addition to the neighborhood, and I'm already in love! It's got that cozy café-meets-lifestyle-store feel, with fresh, flavorful food, a calming ambiance, and an adorable little market inside that makes the whole space feel warm and curated. What I Love: Tomato Bisque - So rich, creamy, and comforting! It's perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of tang--definitely a standout. Avocado Toast - Simple, fresh, and delicious. They keep it classic but elevate it with great quality ingredients and flavor balance. Garden Matcha - Earthy, smooth, and beautifully made. A great non-coffee option that feels both energizing and calming. Little Market Inside - Thoughtfully curated with everything from wellness products to pantry goods and local finds. It adds such a fun, boutique touch to the café experience. The Vibe: Light, airy, and stylish without trying too hard Great for a casual brunch, catch-up coffee, or solo work time Friendly staff and a space that feels intentional and relaxing If you're looking for a refreshing new café with good vibes, fresh eats, and a little something extra to browse or sip, Layla & Ringo's is a must-visit. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

New favorite neighborhood coffee shop!! The ambiance is so posh I feel like I'm in SoHo! The market is so cute, I'm a sucker for good branding too loving the dogs everywhere. And of course they're Dog-friendly :) they have a candy jar full of dog treats. even have a build your own bouquet section where stems are only $1.50 each! I got the matcha two days in a row and heads up on a Friday morning I got their last matcha before they ran out! It was pretty busy at 8am already both days I went all the seats were full read more

Place is nice and clean but that's it. $25 for a sloppily put together breakfast sandwich and 20oz late is joke for this quality. read more

I was blown away by the attention to detail that is on display here! Layla and Ringo's is definitely the place to be on Wells. The ambiance, the music, the views, the lovely barista's, resulting in such a refreshing delightful experience. Thank you, Charlie & Noah my experience and Matcha Lavender Latte was a 10/10 The story of Layla and Ringo's is such a beautiful story. Long story short Layla and Ringo are the owners dogs! So you know the pup cups are elite! You can even bring a picture of your doggy inside to hang on the wall! I know that's sooooo cute! Besides having such an incredible view there's street parking right outside the cafe which isn't terrible so after you pay for 7 dollar latte add 5 bucks for 1 hour parking but it's totally worth the experience in my opinion. This cafe experience is definitely elite and I'm grateful so much effort and heart has gone into it making it the perfect after work spot because Layla and Ringo's is one of the very few cafes that stays open later than majority in the city. I appreciate the 7A-7P hours. Like Charlie and Noah said everyone has said this is what's missing from this side of Wells and we finally got a beautiful curated cafe :) Ps....the grocery store is epic everything you'll ever want is there (they even have a journal section!) plus treats for your doggy l read more

Love this spot to WFH at. The iced vanilla oat milk latte was so good. The vibe inside is cozy and such a good place to get some work done, catch up with friends, or just pop into read more

Adorable spot and cute knick knacks next door. The decor on this place is so cute! Obviously it's dog friendly and its a perfect place for people or dog watching. They have a great breakfast croissant imo. read more

The service was amazing! But It was so hot and was an uncomfortable ambience because of the temperature inside. I was sitting drinking an iced coffee and was still hot and uncomfortable. read more

I know that an espresso drink takes a little time to make but this place really tests one's patience

We've been to this place multiple times, because we've heard great things about it. In our experience, those great things simply aren't true. The coffee is mid at best, and the wait times are atrocious. Avoid this place and go to Goddess & the Baker across the street. 2 stars because the ambiance is fine. read more

Cute new coffee shop with a little upscale market inside too. The coffee was tasty, but be ready to wait in the line out the door on weekends! Loved the scrabble and other games available to play as well. read more

The cutest coffee shop! I ordered a delicious strawberry cold foam matcha. The little market attached was very cute. Love the dog theme and the seating options. They have three enclosed booths in case you need to take a work video call. read more

Me and a friend came here for a late lunch. I got the Breakfast Burrito & a Strawberries and Cream Latte, and she got the Breakfast Sammy & Pistachio Honey Latte. Both food items were underwhelming in size for the price ($10). Flavor of the burrito was good, and the sauce that came with it had a nice kick. The sandwich on the other hand did not stand out to us, and did not seem cafe quality (easy to replicate at home). Overall, vibes in cafe were cozy and welcoming. They also have little one person sound-proof cubicles where people can take meetings, which is something not a lot of cafes offer and adds a unique touch to the establishment. Service was fast and friendly. Looking forward to trying more menu items soon. read more

The interior is so cute. It's a great spot to meet friends, or if you need to study or do work. There's even private little working booths that you can sit in! There's also a little store with other things and knick-knacks you can shop for. The drinks were magnificent. I am a sucker for anything dog-related and they seemed very dog friendly, with a board where everyone can post pictures of their pets. How cute!! read more

Cute cafe that is super popular! Have to get there early for a table/seat on the weekends. The matcha was great and almond croissant was delish--super flaky (and messy, beware). We had an issue where someone (mistakenly?) grabbed our food/drinks so it took them awhile to remake because it was busy but they were really nice and gave us a couple freebies. Love their little grocery store as well. read more

This place was packed at 11am on a nice Friday, for good reason. It's super cute inside, and the food and drinks are amazing. My bacon, egg, and cheese bagel was $10, but it was incredible. The plain bagel (which is apparently made fresh every day there) was slightly toasted, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the egg was perfectly scrambled. Though very busy, we got our items in about 5 minutes or less, though had to take them away since there was nowhere to sit inside. I will definitely be going back for more, and to try the croissant breakfast sandwich, since they were out of croissants today. read more

I love the breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. The everything bagel is soo good has little salt crystals on it - you won't regret getting it. Very cozy cafe and pretty decent flat white by American standards. Staff are very nice. read more

A great ambiance / vibe, especially for studying & doing work! There's the garage door window, which brings in lots of natural light. Lots of outlet in the middle seating area. Food and drinks were okay, matcha came out to ~$7 without alternative milk or syrups but would definitely come again for the vibe! read more

Very pet friendly place. The aesthetic was cute. My friend got the chicken noodle soup and she said it was really good. I got the peach tea and it was refreshing. The staff was extremely friendly. Great place to get work done with fast wifi. read more

I've been on the hunt for a great cafe to work from, and Layla and Ringo is definitely one I'll be revisiting. The music and ambiance are just right--not too loud, not too quiet--creating the perfect balance for productivity. The coffee was not bad I still need to try their match and the wrap was amazing and would definitely also be better as a salad as well. Overall will definitely go again, just be there early to get a good spot. read more

I went here and ordered the BLTA expecting it to have turkey on it. Guessing they changed the menu because it didn't have turkey on it and they also charged me $2 for bread like seriously. They should ensure their website menu is up to date. read more

Went in for the first time - not knowing what to get - the ladies were helpful - making a suggestion that I ultimately enjoyed ! Will be back read more

Second time coming here and the wifi was not working. Really un-helpful if you are trying to work! Barista did not know where the router even is, so she was 0 help. Also the coffee is pretty average and waay overpriced. $7 for a cold brew is silly. read more

Knew how to actually make an Iced Tea Latte!! Busy place with a lot of cool stuff to see!! read more

Awesome vibes awesome staff. I was helped by Jillian today and she was so kind, patient and helpful to me for my first time here today. The world needs more Jillians read more

If you are a coffee connoisseur, this is NOT the place for you! Unfortunately, I'm one of those coffee snobs that takes my coffee seriously. The coffee here is VERY weak with a slight bitterness to it, and no flavor to it whatsoever. My friends and I have been here a couple times because it's so stinking cute and the vibe is fabulous, but none of us enjoy the coffee:( The service is great, but PLEASE change out your coffee beans to something better!! read more

vibes high. a lovely space to sit. the coffee is good. the espresso pour over joint damn near refreshing. i LOVE that they are so welcoming to pups. a giant PLUS in city of so many pooches. go to this place. there is a decent amount of FREE parking around the area. the only thing i'll say is that the food is mid. the breakfast burrito was flavorless to funky which might be on me for order a burrito from such a high end coffee shop. so to recap. GO CHIILL and WORK and bring your doggies and have a coffee here. but maybe go full? or before a meal elsewhere read more

Absolutely amazing, food 10/10, service 10/10, ambiance 10/10. Vibes are amazing, everything is so good down to the people working. Literally so friendly, so amazing, so wonderful. Come here for some matcha for sure, sooooo good. read more

This place is so cute and so healthy, coffee is good and their tomato soup is good, bagel sandwiches lack a lot of flavor

Do not get the smoothie bowl. They over promise and under deliver. Not only do they omit half of ingredients listed but the ones that made it into the bowl were scarce. "Mixed berries" were two small sliced strawberries. I didn't like the açaí base either. $17 and 15 minutes in line wasted. read more

To escape the morning rain, I tried L&R on my wife's recommendation as a place popular with her nearby office. I don't know that I will return. Walking in, the overall ambiance was nice with good lighting, and I was quickly greatly by a very pleasant team member. Many patrons were working on laptops, and there is a variety of seating to accommodate different styles of work or just hangin' out. My initial sense of the vibe was positive. My veggie breakfast burrito was solid and accompanied by a tasty salsa. Now the minuses... First, the burrito was packaged excessively and unnecessarily, especially for such a small burrito and given that I was dining in, in a large compostable bowl with plastic lid. Unfortunately, there was no option for responsibly discarding the bowl or recycling the lid of No 1 plastic, so I was forced to put the lid into my bag for recycling at work. Next, the music was just loud enough that it could not be ignored, yet it was bland enough to not be worth hearing. Finally and most importantly, the coffee was terrible. I ordered dark roast daily brew drip, but it was the flavor of the paper cup that shone through most. I'm not a coffee snob, indeed on a recent road trip I bought black coffee from a rest stop vending machine, but I ended up dumping today's coffee. It had almost no flavor and left me looking forward to coffee at my office. Maybe their fancier options are more satisfying, but I could never recommend L&R on that coffee alone. In summary, I'm unlikely to return unless my tastes in music and coffee change significantly, as both were too bland for me at L&R. read more

skip the matcha! smoothie bowl was decent. good amount of space to work in and great location! read more

Place is super cute but the service and food is not so great. I had to send my sandwich back for the bread being so Tinty I couldn't even hold it. Sent back the a Soup for being so small and not even half way filled in the cup. Took 35 mins to get all of this. I wanted to like it here so bad. read more
