Diamond in the rough! If you haven't been to Leisha's for breakfast or lunch you are missing out. There isn't anything I wouldn't recommend. From the sundried tomato bagel to the chicken salad club - excellent all around. I've also used her for catering and you can't go wrong. read more

This place...is AMAZING! We had the hash brown bacon and cheddar waffles, Hueros Rancheros and French Toast casserole between the 5 of us (my 3 older children and husband and I) and wow. First off the food is extremely fresh. Just mind blowing fresh. Second? Their customer service is the best I have seen (restaurant wise) in the Bridgeport/Fairfield area (we saw them help out/feed a person in need while here as well...just amazing). So nice to us as first timers, even brought over a whole plate of huge homemade chocolate chip cookies. We love it here and will be back again for sure! read more

Thank you to my fellow Yelpers. I found this place and chose to try it out because of your reviews! A very unassuming front to this place. It is much more than a bakery, as the name would suggest. I was greeted warmly and upon telling them it was my first time there, they offered me a chocolate chip cookie on the house. (They do this for all first timers!). Apparently they have an award winning cookie and like to show it off! The space is very eclectic. There's a coffee bar/soft drink area to the left, a semi-open kitchen area directly behind the ordering desk and then a very nicely appointed counter area to the right where all the great-looking baked goods can be found. There were jars containing several different types of cookies and containers displaying many types of baked goods such as cupcakes and various pastries. They have both breakfast and lunch items (brunch) but I think breakfast items can only be ordered in the morning. I ordered a Crunchy Bite, green apples, gouda, bacon and a bourbon mustard spread on a many-grain bread. It comes with sliced apples or a pickle slice. I had a bag of chips and some of the orange-ginger infused water (unsweetened). I believe the water type changes daily. The sandwich was fresh as can be and very delicious. The water was quite refreshing, as well. I sat at one of the several tables (countertop looking outside and some outdoor seats available, too) in a great, comfortable space and did some work. The only rush was that they close at 3 and I got there at 2, but not a word from the workers/owner. I did meet Leisha who checked on me a few times and wanted to know what I thought of the chocolate chip cookies. With the caveat that I get chocolate chip cookies from any place I go that bakes them fresh, this was a very good cookie, not the best I've had, but I still look forward to coming back to try the other cookie varieties (and cupcakes) soon! read more

They have some great from scratch, made to order breakfast. The morning pie was great with a light and flaky crust. Ours was a little dry since we ordered it without sauce but it was still great. Very friendly staff who were quick to offer to top off your coffee. They looked to have a good selection of house made cookies even though I didn't try any. read more

Gearing up for a court appearance? Start off with breakfast at Leisha's and you'll be fine. The nicest people! They quietly served up a bagel and coffee for a homeless guy that walked in after me. It's a big cafe, plenty of room to lounge with friends or get to work (they have WiFi). Quiche is outstanding; freshly made in house, today's was kale, mushroom and sundried tomato, served with a side salad. Yum. Excellent espresso coffee. Only downside is parking: it's all metered. read more

I absolutely love this quaint bakery. It's a quick stop on my way to work and I've never had a bad item from here. It has a very adorable feel with coloring walls and decorations and mismatched chairs that I adore. It's comfortable and quirky. The food is delicious. My favorite is the egg white w spinach wrap and I add bacon and cheese. It'll make all your dreams come true. Leisha's is super sweet and can make anything for you if you need to adjust the menu. There are options here for anyone on any type of diet or lives a food restrictive lifestyle. I highly recommend stopping in. read more

I've always passed by this place and have had intentions of going in. I'm so glad that I finally did. My friend and I came here and we each had the hash brown waffles. Mine was with bacon and cheddar. It does take some time for it to be made, which we were told when we ordered. It was worth the wait time. It was savory. Yummy in my tummy! My portion was generous and I could not finish it. Service was great and the atmosphere is cozy especially for meeting up with friends or just wanting a bite and get some work done. I'll definitely come back again to try the other menu items. read more

As I packed up to leave after my first visit to Leisha's, one word came to mind: love. There is a lot of love and effort put into this place and it shows. Iced coffee: excellent, with a chocolately hint (in the beans, not actually chocolate). Breakfast pizza? Count me in. It came on a base that was unexpectedly flaky and buttery. It took me a minute to recognize the flavor as top-notch biscuit dough. Brill! So much better than a breakfast pizza on regular 'za dough. It came with some hash browns and an egg on top. Sooo good. That dish alone is worth coming back for, though I want to try their many other enticing items as well. Don't be put off by the slightly less-than-camera-ready photos of the dishes on Yelp. The food may look a bit shaggy/messy but it's the TASTE that counts! read more

A lot of firsts right now as this is my 1st Yelp review. This is also my first time in Bridgeport, CT and my first food stop was here. I am so surprised no Yelpers have been here before, because this is beautifully decorated bakery known as a boutique eatery. They have all types of foods to include quiches, wraps and French toast. Of course they have sweets too in this bakeria from pies, cupcakes, granola bars and more. Plus there are gluten free options as well. The menu here gets creative from green apple & cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches to mint velvet cupcakes, which I both tried and enjoyed. I sipped on some apple cider cinnamon infused water with my food and dessert. If you're in the area or planning a visit to Bridgeport definitely stop here; to Leisha's Bakeria open Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. read more

Leisha's Bakeria - Check out the decor in this bakeria. It's beautiful from the outside but stepping inside I didn't want to leave. It feels home. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Great place to stop by for coffee and snacks. The staff is wonderful. The food is above average.

My husband and I dropped in for brunch while visiting Bridgeport. As a vegetarian, breakfast and brunch are always my favorite meals to eat out for, because there's always lots of meat free options (eggs, baked goods, etc.). We found Leisha's Bakeria on Yelp, and it had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. My husband had read that the French toast here was really good, so he was excited to try it. Unfortunately, when we got there, the French toast wasn't on the menu for that day. Not to worry though, the cook happily offered to make him French toast anyway. The French toast was topped with banana slices and cooked wonderfully! He also ordered an iced latte and was happy to find out it was made with coffee ice, so it got stronger as the ice melted, rather than being watered down. I had a wrap with eggs, cheese, spinach, and mushrooms, and it was fantastic. I also got a simple cup of peppermint hot tea, but I was happily surprised when it was brought out in a giant mug with two tea bags to account for the size (no weak tea here ). Once we finished up our food, my husband got up to pay, and they ended up giving us two chocolate chip cookies for free, as a thanks for stopping by. Overall, Leisha's Bakeria was a great experience! I'm so glad we stopped by, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who will be in the area. read more

This is my favorite bakery in Bridgeport. I ordered a Red Velvet Cake for a coworkers birthday celebration. It was the highlight of the celebration! Not only was it beautifully decorated, it was moist,fresh and decadent as well! Please understand when I have a favorite bakery, it means, even though I've worked in a French pastry shop, have years of culinary experience, I will patronize your business because it meets my extremely high standards. Thank you for your impeccable ability to provide outstanding customer service as well as a superbly superior product. I will see you soon for a cappuccino and mini quiche on a biscuit. read more

Leisha's Bakeria - I'm trying to enjoy but breakfast but the cupcakes keep calling me. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I've been here twice. The first time was for a quick breakfast sandwich and I wasn't impressed. My fiance has been many times since, and insisted that I give it another chance. I'm glad I did. I tried the hash brown waffle and it was flavorful and crisp, topped off with bacon and a fried egg. The baked goods are outstanding! I feel like I can say that because I've sampled enough of what is offered. In one visit, I tried a doughnut, a cupcake AND a chocolate chip cookie -- don't judge me! I did it for my fellow Yelpers ;) read more

I had been meaning to stop here for such a long time, but I never got a chance until recently when I was downtown for jury duty. I walked down from the courthouse and cookie and a tea. It was so delicious. I was able to sit in the window and people watch as I enjoyed my tea and cookie. What I loved most about the cookie was the large sugar crystals on top. It gave it such a great texture and crunch that I absolutely loved! The service was friendly and the ambiance was relaxing. I will be back for breakfast and coffee... and another cookie for sure!!! read more

I've been here twice. The first time, it was a little busy but I got my food fast and it was very good! So I decided to bring my family to try this place. We were the only ones in the bakery and sat there for over 45 minutes and never received our food. We told them forget it and just to give us our refund and then the food was magically ready and we were told that someone should've told us it could've taken this long. No one did. And quite frankly, for the things we ordered, it shouldn't have taken nearly that long. Especially with no one else in the bakery. By then we were totally fed up and told them forget it, and got our money back. Haven't been back since. It's a shame, because after I told my family how good this place was, this had to happen and they asked me why the hell I took them there. I might come back at some point to try it again, but I sure know my family won't. read more

After reading reviews, my friend and I decided to stop by Leisha's Bakery for breakfast on our way to Boston. From the start, service was great. (Starting your morning off with hospitable staff goes a long way!) The staff member (I think she was the owner) answered a few questions we had about the menu, and even engaged in some small talk. I eventually decided on the hash brown waffles which I loved. (Writing this review a couple of weeks later is making me crave them again.) Before we left, I asked for a to-go cup for my latte that I didn't finish. The owner gave me a cup and also informed my friend and I that cookies had just come out of the oven and were offered one on the house (which were delicious). It was a nice touch to an already great experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stop by. read more

Sorry to picture to go with this review because I ate it all! This was my first time coming here and I do not regret it at all!!! I got one of the best egg wraps with steak and avocado! And the cure smoothie and a fantastic cheesecake cupcake my tastebuds have ever had!!!! I will be coming back every chance I can! The food here is amazing and you should really explore the menu! Thank you very much to the owner and her staff you guys made my belly very very happy!!! read more

I still crave the pastries and the most amazing BLT's that this place makes. When I used to work for Bridgeport Hospital this was the spot I went to for breakfast or pastries for my staffs. I no longer live up north, but still miss this spot badly! read more

Good place. Good people. Authentic & real food and comfortable/homey seating area. The best place in downtown Bridgeport for a quick breakfast or lunch. Somtimes parking can be a little challenging but just go around the corner onto Fairfield Ave where you can always find a spot. read more

The food here is great. But they took 11 minutes to make be a coffee with steamed milk at 7:30 am on a weekday. And I was charged two dollars more then the morning before for same coffee and muffin. Went in for a bagel one day and paid $1.75, the next week it was $3.00, a day later it was $1.75 Idk if the employees just don't know the prices, or if one of them is stealing from the owner. Had amazing quiche, mind blowing potato waffles(you read that right)... but I'd ask the price of anything before you order... and careful with your morning coffee, I just saw four people waiting in there today as I walked past at 8:00am... one lady walking out literally said as she was on her cell phone... "8 minutes to get me a coffee with cream and sugar." That's why I'm writing today... great food, inconsistent prices and slow service. read more

The staff was so friendly, I immediately felt welcome and comfortable there. I tried the potato and leek soup... turns out I do not like leeks (lol), but I can't fault them for that. It definitely made me want to try more of their soups. I got the cheddar and apple grilled cheese which was satisfying. I even got a free first-timer cookie which was a nice touch. Sadly I only got one bite before I dropped it. I enjoyed the one bite though! read more

While in Bridgeport, I was in search of breakfast and came across this little shop. I went in for a quick breakfast sandwich, but came out with a delightful potato waffle with bacon and cheese - OMG! While I was waiting, I perused the bakery case and came across these little red velvet mini muffins sprinkled in cinnamon sugar o_O I couldn't get enough of them! As I was contemplating these little muffins, I called in an order to take home to my family (they were THAT good!!). The owner graciously packed them in a large zippy bag and put them in a box for the rough ride back to ATL. I also took a couple of Monte Cristo sandwiches to go. They were delicious as well. I will be back to Bridgeport and I will be visiting this bakery again! read more

The best bakery in Southern Connecticut by far! Leisha and her staff always care for their customer's with a smile on their face and their attention to detail with all their food and drinks is second to none. No matter the occasion Leisha will always make special orders for your special day (order her Bourbon Pecan Pies they are to die for!) and her regular menu is also amazing. I wish I lived closer to it or I would be in every single day! read more

It's a great concept. Food is good and most important the coffee is great. Place looks clean. Food is a little too pricey for downtown Bridgeport, but the rent is probably unreasonably high there. The terrible part is that the service is absolutely the worst I've seen ever. It's counter service and it's tough to get anyone to wait on you to take your order as they are just standing around. If you can get anyone to take your order the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. It's not a fast food place. Front counter staff has to step it up. It's also tough to get front wait staff to ring you up when you are done. Today after I reminded them what I had when ringing up, he still charged me for someone else's lunch because he didn't think they paid. The lack of attention toward customers will be their demise. It's really the kind of place you go to if you are hanging out and have no where to go. If you are catching a train or ferry or on your lunch hour, this is not the place for you. I just don't see them making it. Too bad. People really want to see downtown Bridgeport thrive but the price point and the customer service has to be there. read more

Leisha's Bakeria was amazing! I visited today and I had the hash brown waffle with the bacon ,eggs, and cheddar Leisha made it herself and it was absolutely amazing.

One year later and they are still doing their thing! We stopped on our way from the ferry to the Brimfeild flea. My breakfast was just as delish as before. I had the morning tart again but i tried the margarita version lighter than the potato one. Would have that one again! My husband had the breakfast slider he ate it so fast i was unable to get a pic. We took a slice of "ooey gooey bread pudding to go. Super rich and decadent! Staff is friendly and attentive. Love this spot read more

Today is a Monday. It started off like a stereotypical Monday, too (read: my dog ate my breakfast on the road). Thank goodness for Leisha's! My husband and I have been meaning to try this place (Sorry, baby. Mama had to eat! We'll go again together!) I ended up making an impromptu stop in at Leisha's with my 18 month old son because, you know, the dog and my breakfast adventure. What you can expect (and I'm not easy to give 5 stars): Delicious food creations made with love (I bet the drinks are fabulous, as well, I just haven't enjoyed them yet), great service, and friendly/helpful staff. The space is welcoming, clean, and has a happy vibe. My toddler was enamored by the view of the street - so incredibly handy for dining with young'ins. What I ordered: -Green apple and cheddar grilled cheese (Perfectly done. Glorious bread, well cheesed. Even with a yummy pickle on the side.) -Potato waffle with bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives (Um, yeah. Heaven in my mouth.) -Chocolate chip cookie (SO fresh and delicious. The perfect chocolate chip cookie. I wish I bought more than one, alas, there's always tomorrow.) And I got a couple things to go: -Garden quiche slice -Egg slider on a biscuit Note - if you want to leave a tip make sure you have cash, because you can't add it onto a card payment. read more

Stopped in here twice, once post-breakfast on a little wander of the neighbourhood (picked up the best homemade chocolate chip cookie, made that morning) and decided to come back for lunch. So many options for lunch but we chose a tuna melt and hash brown waffles to split. Fantastic homemade quality and a really fun menu with friendly service. A surprising find in a quiet city. Highly recommend! read more

It was my first time here and I have to say MIND BLOWN. Two words: Hashbrown Waffle. I had the bacon and cheddar Hashbrown waffle and the iced Colombian coffee. It was like nothing is ever had before but it was delicious. The waffle came with strips of bacon and an egg on top!! The location is very low key and homey but I actually like that so it was right up my alley. And to top it all off the employees were super friendly! I did wait over 20 minutes for my waffles but it was so worth it. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Delicious food! I liked how they browned the outside of my wrap. My hubby had the hash brown waffles with bacon. Yum. Sweet wait staff!

Had a turkey wrap here. They were very friendly and were very knowledgeable about the food they were serving. The menu has some healthy fresh choices. Good in-house made drinks that compliment the food as well. Let's get to the turkey wrap, This spinach wrapped, heat pressed delicacy was off the hook. Fresh chunks of real turkey with spinach and I added Swiss cheese to it with some oil and vinegar. Slammin. Had some Jamaican ginger iced tea with orange chunks in it. Unsweetened, so it made the turkey wraps flavor pop. Yes, I was satisfied and impressed. Then they gave me a free chocolate chip cookie that the owner twisted my arm to eat.jk. who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies? I recommend this place. Good addition to downtown Bridgeport. read more

Stopped by for breakfast on our way up state. Got the bacon cheddar egg sliders which were insanely delicious! Served between two buttermilk biscuits which you can't beat. Also had the French toast which was just as yummy. They also have an excellent cup of coffee. Just a hint of cinnamon which is a nice touch. To top it off it was our first time there so they gave us some coconut macaroons on the house! These made for a great ride up. Soft, sweet, and fresh! I highly recommend this place. Great food, service and friendly staff. The place was an easy exit off 95, so if you're just passing through or live in the area definitely check this place out. We will be back! read more

Leisha's is great! nothing is impossible there.. ask Leisha for a themed cake or cake pops, or a giant cinnamon bun and its done to perfection. Chocolate chip cookies are to die for! Staff is super nice. And on top of all that - they donate a lot of food for those in need in Bridgeport. LOVE IT! read more

Leisha's Bakeria is not just a bakery -- it is my go-to spot for breakfast/lunch in Bridgeport area. The food here is so thoughtfully made, with so many options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, meat-a-tarian, soy-free and more. Parking is metered on the street (usually around the corner on Lafayette) so bring quarters. The hashbrown waffles are heavenly. They serve great coffee (offering soy milk, almond milk and cow milk for your coffee drinks) and everything is so fresh. Love this place! They only thing I wish were changed was a bit better ventilation. read more
