Finally tried for the first time! I ordered the lemon meringue pastry w the filling, the goat cheese waffles, and an iced tea. Really good. Customer service could improve a tiny bit

Inside

A cute cafe find in Los Gatos! I had a rather mixed experience here.. here goes: What I liked: 1. Ambience (think cute, aesthetic, fresh, lot of greenery) 2. bakery items (tried "Napoleon" (a layered puff pastry cake with cream - delicious!) 3. And yes - coffee (tried latte and lavender latte)! Also, they have lots of option for bakery items, I will definitely be visiting again to try more. What I didn't like/could be improved: 1. Raspberry brownie (this was okay-ish, nothing great) 2. The staff: I usually don't give bad reviews/comments unless something is really off-putting. First, the attitude while taking the order was rather rude. Unfortunately, if you are in the restaurant business, greeting customers warmly should be somewhere pretty high up in your job duties. I asked her about the pastry display on the side which had an array of some of the most exquisite pastries and whether I could order from there, she was quite standoffish in her answer, and that really made me not feeling like ordering anything from her. Thankfully, it was another person who handed me my coffee and pastry order that I did end up getting thanks to no help to the previous person. So yes, I loved the coffee, baked goods, ambience but because of my experience with the staff, I will give it a 3/5.

Cheesecake and eclair

I love this cute little cafe! It is always cozy and service is usually friendly and fast! I love their specialty coffee drinks and fancy pastries! Their ube cheesecake is divine!

Beautiful cafe, a weekly favourite for our family-- they have a lovely play area for littles, and their pastries are some of the best in the South Bay. Helpful and friendly staff

Gruyère waffles. Syrniki
Patty O.

Came before ten. There was still some seating inside. My son was playing in the kiddie corner. Lots of little toys for kids. Ordered the Gruyère waffle and syniki with fruit and custard. The food was good. They had lattes to choose from too, maybe I'll try those next time. The baked goods also looked tasty

Mousse cake assortment
Eric I.

This won't be a detailed review because I don't want to mislabel these mousse cakes and spread incorrect information! But these were given to me by my wife for Valentine's Day and as you can see they're beautiful! Very light (like not filling, in a good way), not super sweet - kind of like a relatively guilt-free refined dessert with creative flavors. Great for special occasions or if you like to treat yourself because you just really like yourself, which is great. As you can see, there are different layers and compositions within these cakes. Some are mostly mousse and have sharper/tarter flavors, some are more cakey and are more subtle. But I enjoyed all of them a lot. We've also eaten here before, both pastry type items and lunch. This is just a nice locally owned cafe where you can get elevated quality food and desserts in a casual environment for a fair price. Their restaurant, Lele Kitchen, is superb and we've had a few special occasions there. Highly recommend that as well.

We absolutely loove Lele Cake! Since day one, our kids (and us too) love all their pastries. They are all so well made with quality ingredients that make us feel great about spoiling our sweet tooth a bit. Their specialty coffees are amazing and they always have seasonal drinks to try like the one posted here. The food items are so well balanced and just delicious!!! We also love everyone at Leles. The staff is so friendly and make you feel welcome every time

Gorgeous cafe, gorgeous food. I was attracted to this spot because I love light brunches, and it can be hard to find in a world that prefers heavy potato + cheese + meats in the morning! I loved the prosciutto and pear toast and the crepe with salmon. Yes, it is a bit pricey here. Luckily, the food is good enough that I won't complain about it. My party was the only Asian group there, and we were told to get our drinks at the front, despite the parties sitting next to us getting served their drinks at their tables. Of course, it could be a strange coincidence, but we couldn't help but feel a bit awkward about that. Hoping our next experience won't feel that way.

creamy raspberry & strawberry yogurt mousse cake
Maria L.

I had been to Lelé Cake and Lelé Kitchen many times. I loved everything they offered and was never disappointed. While I was too late to make a reservation at Lelé Kitchen before they're completely booked for Valentine's Day this year, I pre-ordered the Hearts Mousse Cakes (set of 4) from Lelé Cake for pickup yesterday. I arrived around 3pm, and they're very busy. I didn't mind waiting in line, though, as I could look at their decorations and various cakes/cookies. Their Valentine's Day decorations and cakes were beautiful. The 4 mousse cakes were just phenomenal (inside and outside)! Each of them had very unique and delightful flavors: . rich chocolate with tangy cherry . luscious pistachio with sweet strawberry . decadent chocolate apricot infused with aromatic Earl Grey tea . creamy raspberry & strawberry yogurt They're all so sophisticated, delicious, and only slightly sweet. Truly guilt-free indulgence. I couldn't decide which one I liked the most!

I thoroughly enjoyed this bakery! The location had plenty of parking. It's a quaint bakery with delectable desserts, cakes and breakfast fare. I enjoyed the Eastern European beet soup as well. The staff was patient and friendly as well. Needless to say that I will return again when I visit family.

Meringue. Pavlova. Whole cake. Must be ordered at least a day ahead. Beautiful and delicious, but I wish it was a little lighter.

I am eager to go back to try their drinks and other goodies. This review is just for their whole Pavlova. Whole cakes must be ordered at least a day ahead. It is beautiful and delicious, but I wish it was a little lighter. It would be great to have a more thorough description of what is included on the website. I can't quite tell if the filling is cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, or something else, but it was heavier than the pictures looked.

I've been going to this place since they opened and the quality of their food and drinks has stayed high to this day! There are definitely items on their menu I prefer, their savory waffles and toasts are delicious. I'm not a big meringue fan so I skip those, but their tarts and basque cheesecake are very tasty. I love their drinks as well. My favorite touch are the flower petals they dust on their waffles. It just gets me every time Earlier on they would get drink orders wrong but that isn't an issue anymore. Service has always been kind. I love working here, or dropping by on a day when I'm running errands locally whenever I can. I love how aesthetic the place is, they change their decorations for each holiday. The restroom is always clean and though I don't have kids and don't plan on ever having them, I love that it's clearly child friendly. I often bring friends from out of town here as it's such a gem The vibes are really wonderful. I hope they stay in business for a long time. I will have to try their restaurant next door for a special occasion!

Buckwheat with poach eggs and parmesan
Valery T.

Lele Cake is truly a little paradise for me I come here almost every day and always enjoy my time here. The staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming -- Anya is sweet and attentive, Galina is very responsible and caring, the girl with the gorgeous curly hair is always warm and kind, and Alejandro is always friendly, welcoming, and brings great energy to the place. You can really feel that Elena, the owner, puts her heart into this place -- fresh flowers, beautiful decorations, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it feel special. The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the salmon toast, shakshuka, syrniki, draniki, buckwheat with poached egg and parmesan, and the Basque cheesecake -- all amazing. And the Dirty Dragon is so good too! I'm always happy to come back.

I've been here a few times, and I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed this place yet…read more The moment you walk into Manresa Bread, you're greeted right away. The space has a modern yet warm feel with beautiful natural wood finishes, fresh loaves of sourdough lining the shelves, pastries displayed in the case, and a mix of large communal wood tables, regular seating, and high-top tables. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The staff was friendly and helped us choose both a pastry and our toast. They were also happy to customize our order--we asked for the levain sourdough toast with butter instead of the usual olive oil. That toast was absolutely divine. The sourdough had the perfect balance: chewy without being too sour, with a crust that was crisp but not so hard that it fought back. Easily the best sourdough toast I've had in the Bay Area. If you come here, this is the one thing you have to order. The only disappointment was the butter. They serve French butter, but for an extra $2, the portion was tiny and honestly nothing special. I've had better butter from Whole Foods. It didn't take away from how incredible the bread was, but it wasn't worth the upcharge. Their Kouign-amann is also one of the best I've ever had. Instead of the typical flat, flaky style, theirs is taller with countless buttery layers that create an amazing texture. The cappuccino was another highlight. It had subtle notes of orange peel, whiskey, and cardamom, making it unique. The latte art was beautiful too. Overall, Manresa Bread is one of those cafés that makes you want to sit down with a laptop or a book and spend a few hours there. The only downside is there are no power outlets, so come with a full battery if you're planning to work. Must orders: Levain sourdough toast with butter and the Kouign-amann. Both are worth the trip.

It was delicious on its own, but the strawberry jam on the side was a great addition and paired nicely. The almond croissant was wonderfully flaky and buttery, filled with a rich, flavorful almond paste. Very good! I also ordered the seasonal lavender latte, and it was outstanding. The lavender flavor actually came through instead of getting lost in the coffee, creating a fragrant, well-balanced drink that was both comforting and delightful.

Note, when most people think Los Gatos, they think downtown, however this restaurant is on the edge of Los Gatos/San Jose. But don't let that deter you, the interior of the restaurant felt trendy and on par. Since this was our first time here and we're not too familiar with Eastern European dishes, we opted for the chef's menu and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and the presentation was even better. Everything felt very fresh. The egg and the macaron bites are so unique, I would definitely recommend giving them a try. Service was impeccable, I don't think our water glasses ever got even halfway empty before they were refilled. Our server explained the menu and food/wine extremely well. With 10 items on the chef's menu, the portions were perfect. I actually appreciate a menu with more items and smaller portions, allowing you to taste more without feeling too full to eat the last few dishes. One of us has a tree nut allergy and they were able to accommodate them with no problems at all. Something to note, the chef's menu was pretty seafood heavy, which I love, but it might not be for everyone. I did overhear the table next to us sing praises of the short rib, so I will definitely be back to give that a try!
