Came here after a friend recommended it. We came just for dessert after getting lunch. My toddler picked out a chocolate dessert with raspberries. I can't remember the name of it. It was delicious and not that sweet. It almost was like a marshmallow with cake on the bottom. By itself the cake was a little dry so its best to eat it all together. I got the merengue cake. It was very sweet maybe a little too sweet for one person but great to share. I liked the decor but the tables got filled up fast. I can see it might feel a little cramped. I did see they had kids toys and we'll have to come back for breakfast or lunch for my toddler to enjoy them. read more

Haven't been here in a while but if I'm in the Los Gatos area, Lele is the place to go. A little on the pricy side but understandable considering the location. Great coffee, great food options and really nice pastries. Plenty of parking too. Note that this is a place that many come with their kids so take that into account, depends on the time of day at may be crowded and little noisy. The service is super quick and the girls that work the front are very nice. read more

Enjoyed a nice brunch here on New Years eve with my friends. The decor in the restaurant was cute with lots of plants and greenery. We didn't get any pastries but they looked oh so delicious. I opted for a savory dish and went with the homemade salted salmon toast. While it was good, the salmon slices was too thick and I felt the salmon itself overpowered the toast. It felt like I was eating sushi. My friend really enjoyed their waffles and pancakes though. It can get busy on the weekend, the line really never died down when we were there. read more

Today I had a really disappointing experience. I ordered food online for pick up, but when I arrived, it was cancelled last minute with no reason. I understand that maybe someone clicked something, but at least have a decency to acknowledge it and ask me reorder. They just told me that they have no idea and ignored me. Just a terrible customer service and no respect for their time! read more

A very delicious bakery that offers unique and delicious baked goods with artisan coffees. The gruyere waffles are delicious along with any other breakfast plates that they serve. A bit on the pricey side but worth it. The inside was a lot smaller then expected and was pretty full on a Saturday morning. They have outdoor seating but due to the rain we elected to take everything to go. Gruyere Waffles With Sun-Dried Tomatoes And the Soft Egg and Homemade Salted Salmon Toast With Marinated Red Onions with two ube lattes was what we ordered. The lattes were smooth, frothy, and I could actually taste the ube. Both waffles and salmon toast were great. The salmon was unusually thick but was buttery tasting and literally melted in our mouths. It was our favorite of the two. Staff was friendly and answered all of our questions, even though the place was busy, our orders came out really fast. Gastro Maestro approved!! read more

Came here for Mother's Day breakfast. Cute cafe, good location, ample parking. Gorgeous looking pastries and desserts. Service is friendly. The food was tasty ... we ordered the oatmeal, yogurt parfait and the cottage cheese pancakes. All were filling and fresh. The pear compote with the oatmeal was delicious, lots of ripe fresh fruit with the yogurt parfait and the pancakes are quite dense/filling (in a good way). The macaroon, burnt cheesecake, and raspberry brownie were also very, very tasty. Not overly sweet. read more

This is my favorite cafe in the entire Bay Area! Everything on their menu is absolutely delicious, the coffee is 10/10, and their pastries are 10/10 (they even have themed desserts/pastries like Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc..). My husband and I come here often and their cheesecake is to die for! The separate menu where you order is also amazing -- you won't be disappointed. The service is also excellent. However, it is more of an order, pickup, and find where you'd like to sit; but I actually prefer that. The design/ambiance of the cafe is also super cute, and is often decorated based on the time of the year (again Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc..) it reminds me of cafes that are often found in European countries. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. I think anyone will love it just as much as I do. It does get pretty busy on the weekends just a forewarning. read more

Such a cute place! It has a really cute vibe to it that is super calming and peaceful. The decor, plants, and music in the background make it a good environment to have a quiet work place or chill hangout spot. I got a matcha, it was good. Only thing is I wish it was sweeter, but they have a bunch of sweetener options on the side. The place has little to no outlets, so if you come here, come with a full battery. read more

Absolutely loved this place. First of all it's stunning, the overall vibe of the store is super zen and relaxing. It's a great place to focus, get work done or catch up with friends. They offer a wide range of foods, drinks, and even pastries. Everything is plated wonderfully and extremely aesthetic. They are a small locally owned business and are flourishing! They even started a restaurant next door which looks amazing. The only downsides to this place are the lack of accessible outlets and the number of outlets they have overall, and the time it takes to get your food. Other than this it is great. I do hope that they put in more outlets that way more people can come in to do work. read more

Don't be fooled by the photos from reviews. I came to this café and showed a photo of the soft cooked egg from other reviews... they looked awesome. Both the dishes we got with eggs came with freezing hard boiled eggs cold from the fridge. They don't have fresh eggs at all, but hard boiled eggs kept in ice like premade eggs from the grocery store. I'm not into hard cooked yokes or super cold eggs with hot food. They refused to make new eggs and instead microwaved them to heat them instead of using hot water. As soon as they touched my plate, the EGGS EXPLODED ALL OVER ME. My hair, my face, clothes covered in egg explosion because they microwaved them. The worst part of this was that the girls working there didn't even flinch or apologize, or offer a napkin to clean it up or a comped pastry. The attitude of the women here doesn't have any sense of customer service. Just very snobby and spoiled. I don't know maybe they're young or something. Anyway, I showed her the pictures on yelp I used to order up front and she said they soft boil eggs at once in the morning and just use them. But none of the eggs we got were soft boiled, all fully cooked. Here is where things got super disturbing. The girl started crying and went to the back. About 5 other women went in after her and were acting like we did something wrong by asking for basic customer service on an order. I am a mother and have a baby, so ultimately even though the experience was terrible and we should have been refunded for our order and meal which was RUINED and aweful waiting for eggs to come out and explode on us.... I went up to the girl and said "sweetheart, I'm I very sorry for hurting your feelings and it was nothing personal at all. Just not what was advertised or expected" . She thanked me for apologizing to her. Such a terrible experience to pay for a dining experience and go through this. read more

Victoria was the best! So kind and accommodating! The food was also absolutely incredible!

Quaint brunch place with fun classic food options. Hard to find seating sometimes. Food: Gruyère waffles with sun dried tomato and soft egg 5/5 Savory soft waffle with good crunch that's balanced by the tartness of tomato. Well seasoned with great textures. Syrniki with berries and sour cream 4/5 Super soft and fluffy! There's a light sweetness to it and the texture reminds me of a mix between Japanese cheesecake and cottage cheese. Prosciutto toast with pears, smoked goat cheese and honey 4/5 Fantastic texture but it is a little tough to eat because of all the toppings ( not a complaint) . Taste is straightforward( the listed ingredients can all be tasted). Homemade salted salmon toast with marinated red onion 4/5 Nothing unexpected here. Delicious and well seasoned salmon toast. Ube latte with oat milk 3/5 A bit weak on the ube flavor Foam isn't smooth but since it's oat milk, that may be the reason why since it's more difficult to foam oat milk. Service: You pick up your own food at the counter so the main service you get is at the register. They have pretty good recommendations and are friendly. . Ambiance: Cozy. It's hard to find seating in the cafe though so be aware of that when visiting. read more

Lele cake is tucked away in a small unassuming strip mall, but has the cutest baked goods and cozy interior perfect for a mid day break or weekend stop. From coffee, tea, pastry and savory dishes I was so excited to try a little bit of everything! Ordered a lavender latte, Gruyère sun dried tomato waffles and a box of treats including a cake pop, fruit tart, hazelnut chocolate eclair and passionfruit panna cotta. Solid coffee, though I wish it had more of a lavender flavor to it. The Gruyère waffles were delicious! The menu described the egg as runny, but it was hard-boiled which was a little disappointing. I do wish there was a pickled or spicy component to the dish, but it was a great savory waffle, good textures and didn't feel overly greasy or heavy despite it having Gruyère. Its generous toppings of cherry tomatoes on top were deliciously sweet and gave the dish a nice acidity. The treats were all so delicious, rich and light at the same time. The fruit tart was my favorite, great custard cream and topped with fresh berries and half a fig. Everything came out in a timely manner and service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back to try the rest of their Eastern European dishes like Syrniki and other treats! Limited indoor seating with a communal table, small paired tables and bar seating, but there are a few tables and chairs out front as well. Uses point system for rewards with Cash App here. read more

I loved trying out this small cozy cafe in the Bellwood area! We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty crowded, so make sure you grab a table before you order. The menus are located next to the cash register. The White Chocolate Sakura Matcha was probably one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had; the subtle floral notes along with the creamy white chocolate really made this drink special. I think this is seasonal so make sure to grab it while it's still advertised at the front! As for the food, the waffles were delicious as a person who doesn't reach for waffles and pancakes that much. It had a cheesy interior that was paired wonderfully with the whipped sour cream side. I think my only complaint is that the egg was pretty hard boiled and I would've rather had it on the runnier side. Overall, this place is great for brunch and I would definitely come again! read more

Order at the front then you snag a seat and once your food is ready they will let you know. There is self serve water/condiment/utensil area. The place was very busy. Decor was nice/cute. Items: - Gruyer Waffles with Sundried Tomatoes and Soft Egg: Exactly what you would expect from the name. - Rosti with Salmon and Fresh Marinated Cucumbers: I liked this one more as the salmon was thick and fresh! I would get this one again! (Unless they don't have it anymore :O ) - Hazelnut or mocha tart ? I forgot. But again very standard, but one flavor was def stronger than the other. They have a parking lot read more

Lele Cake - Gruyere Waffles with Sundried Tomatoes and Soft Egg, Rosti with Salmon and Fresh Marinated Cucumbers, tart - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Lele Cakes is a super cute brunch spot. The ambiance is welcoming with lush greenery, ample natural lighting, and an overall relaxing atmosphere. The menu offers gourmet drinks, creative breakfast, balanced lunches, and sweet desserts. It was hard to pick between so many fresh options but eventually we opted for the Gruyere Waffles and the Rosti With Fresh Marinated Cucumbers and Salmon (Draniki). The Gruyere Waffles were great. They had a generous amount of cherry tomatoes on top and a hardboiled egg. I must note that the menu did mention sundried tomatoes and a soft egg which is slightly different than what was served. The Rosti With Fresh Marinated Cucumbers And Salmon (Draniki) also came served as a waffle. I assumed this would be presented as a potato pancake which is how a a traditional Draniki would be served. The salmon was beautifully cured and presented. The waffles were topped with a huge dollop of Whipped Goat cheese, which I felt was a little overwhelming. I was wondering if I would taste some eastern European/Russian influence with this dish and the second I bit into the pickled cucumbers, I got it! Both portion sizes were very generous and filling. I wasn't as pleased with the drinks we ordered. Although the ube tonic and ube latte looked pretty and were the perfect photo opt, they were both lacking in flavor and the tonic had a crazy strong after taste. I think they may have added a little too much tonic... I did enjoy that both drinks weren't too sweet but the drink menu needs some work. Parking is easy but seating spaces inside were limited on a Saturday afternoon. Service was good, you order at the cash register and pick your meals up at the counter. Staff was pleasant. read more

This is the perfect spot if you want a non-typical brunch/bakery with fresh ingredients that will leave you feeling healthy after. This place is GORGEOUS. The food is so creative and so fresh. My bf and I stumbled upon this place as a really high rated brunch spot in Los Gatos. Coming in a random Saturday, it was pretty busy for brunch. We had to wait for proper seating out side but it wasn't too bad. I honestly can't recall what we exactly had because every single dish in that menu looked so good. I got these savory waffles with salmon and they PACK THAT SALMON ON. It was sooo much I also had the Ube tonic which was a nice surprise because it was nicely flavored and Ube drinks can usually feel underwhelming when it comes to flavor. Bf had the prosciutto and fig toast (delicious btw). I definitely plan on going back here again to try everything else on the menu. That ube cake is calling my name. read more

There were many people in there, catching up with friends or just enjoying their coffee. There is also some outdoor seating if you want to bring your pups with you. They were also really nice and knowledgeable about any allergens in the food and help me pick the right option for a dairy allergy. read more

Lele Cake - Latte Matcha Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I've been here twice and I found both experiences just okay. the interior is really cute and it's good for catching up or working but keep in mind there's only 1 outlet against the wall. The first time I got the pistachio latte and it was pretty good and not too sweet! the second time I got an ube latte. I was pretty disappointed to find out it was $8 for just milk and ube syrup? It costs extra to add an espresso shot making the drink nearly $10.. The workers aren't super friendly here and mostly have a straight face at the counter, not very welcoming. Overall, ambiance is nice but there's better coffee options in the area for a better price & quality. read more

Ordered the Syrniki (Cottage Cheese Pancakes) which was something I've never tried before. At first, when I saw how small the pancakes were (about the size of an English muffin), I wasn't sure if this meal alone would be filling enough but when paired with the tart berries and creamy whipped sour cream base, the meal turned out to be surprisingly satisfying. I personally enjoyed this dish, though I don't have anything to compare it to, so I can't say whether it's authentic or not. For the best flavor, I recommend scooping a little of each in every bite. I also tried their ube tonic and was very disappointed. It lacked flavor and just tasted like tonic water. read more

What a great spot in a unassuming, not busing shopping center. I first drove in and thought it was kind of a empty shopping center, but when you walk in it's quite busy. There's very limited tables and so that's why I'm knocking down one star (but really I'd only knock down half a star if it was possible). After a little bit of time, we were able to get seats for 4. It's coffee shop style, so you order at the counter and then they call your name to pick up your food. It's first come, first serve in terms of seating. It's also self serve in terms of silverware, napkins, and water. You also bus your own table. Don't be the jerk that doesn't because they don't have enough staff to bus your table for you. ;) I order the smoked salmon with a crepe. It was quite delicious. It comes with sour cream which I was hesitant about but it goes quite well actually. I really liked their smoked salmon. It was a really deep orange color and not too salty and then with the sour cream it was delicous! We spent a few hours there chatting and it was just a really nice ambiance. Would come back if in the area. read more

Went to Lele Cake for the first time this past weekend and was delighted to know that it was close to my place. We got there around 11AM on a Sunday and it was really crowded and you had to dodge people trying to get around to their tables/seating. I got the ube latte which was amazing and not too sweet and the avocado toast was delicious but kinda pricy ($14). Ambiance can be somewhat loud since the space is small and the seating arrangements are close to each other. Two patrons were right behind me waiting for their order to be called, which was kind of annoying. Overall this place is worth a visit since I don't see a lot of places that serve ube lattes. read more

Both are delicious--can't wait to try more of their other drinks! For food, I've tried the little pancakes, gruyere waffle, and their prosciutto toast. The gruyere waffle is my favorite so far! Presentation is super cute and very photoworthy. Prices are a bit steep for the quantity, but it's a cute spot. read more

Originally I thought this was a Russian bakery because they offer Syrniki. But then I see they have Profiterole and Canele so maybe it is a French bakery. Regardless, it is a bright and darling cafe with healthy and yummy brunch food as well as gourmet desserts. Mocha - not too sweet, great coffee taste. Gruyere waffles with goat cheese and onion marmalade - I've never imagined onion marmalade, nor how wonderful the complex flavor can be. This is such a treat for cheese lovers. Medovik - It is hard to find Russian Honey cake; this does not look like the traditional kind but it was still good. Similar qualities are soft sponge cake with sour cream and honey. Profiterole - I would describe it as cream puff with custard; it was good. read more

Very cute brunch spot out in South Los Gatos! Came on a Saturday morning and it was already pretty busy. The spot is really cozy decorated with a bunch of plants but there is limited seating so best to secure your spot early. You order at the register and also grab your food & tea there. My friend and I ordered the different variation of their waffles, sundried tomatoes and the other goat cheese. Both were beautifully placed and delicious! We also got one of their early gray tea pot sets that were perfect for a table of 2. Overall the service was really good and the food was fantastic! Definitely worth the drive! read more

Ambiance Quaint little shop decorated more like a place you'd find on countryside or coastal towns. One long table with the rest mostly 2-tops and a couple of 4-tops. Service It's a place where you order at the counter, pick up your food at the counter, get your own utensils and condiments, and then place dirty plates/bowls/utensils to a designated dirty dish return cart. Tables were first come first serve, no reservations. Food The food options were good for a light brunch. Had the salmon crepe, Syrniki, waffle with sundried tomatoes and soft egg, and prosciutto toast. The vegetables were fresh, the crepes and waffles were decent, toast felt a bit stale. The soft egg was not, it was hard boiled. Plating was good. Portion was a bit small, though all the sour/whipped cream sort of made us felt full. The drinks were basic. Nice latte art on capuccino and ube latte. All the non coffee flavors were syrup based, which was disappointing. Maybe I had a different expectation because of the fresh ingredients used in their food dishes. Did not try the cakes. Probably should have. Cost/Tipping Practice I think the price point was OK considering the freshness of the food ingredients. Would not go there for the drinks. May want to try out the cakes. One of those PoS on the counter with tip screen and the cashier person staring at you while you tap and try to figure out why they ask for tips when they don't do anything beyond the minimum of taking order and making your order. read more
