Found this gas station/restaurant on Yelp to try for lunch while in the area. Full disclosure: I didn't realize it was a gas station until I arrived! But I was intrigued, so figured I'd check it out. Now I had no idea what Leo's offered until I went in. Think gas station/convenience store offering locally made food items, freshly prepared bowls/drinks and kolaches. Second guilty admission: never had a kolache. The nice woman behind the counter helped me choose (they were buy one, get one free)! So I chose one egg and cheese, and one spinach and cheese. They were warmed in an oven while I went to grab a coffee and use the restroom, which was very clean and well-stocked. Pro tip: if you want a latte or another specialty coffee, order at the counter. If you want to make your own, go to the coffee bar. It's less expensive, plus they have a variety of sweeteners, Torani syrups, and assorted creamers (including plant-based). The cash register employee let me know when they were ready to go, and my grand total was less than $6. I picked up a few hot sauce packets from the condiment bar and sat down in the dining area to eat. The kolache itself is essentially a small, light sandwich. The bread was soft, with a hint of sweetness. The egg and cheese combo was perfect for my light lunch! I had a bite of the spinach and cheese kolache before I left, which was even more flavorful and cheesy! Can't wait to have it tomorrow morning. The cafe also features freshly prepared smoothies, coffee drinks, salad/potato/pasta bowls as well as soups, with a rotating soup of the day. There's truly something for every taste. I was really pleased with this fun gas station mash up, and will absolutely drop in again when in the area! read more

This is a newer gas station in the area and is usually clean. The pumps are in service and still in good condition. I've noticed that this gas station generally has the lowest-cost gas in the area. I like coming here because the gas pump's functions work, and I've not had any issues paying at the pump. Also, the receipt prints out, so there is no need to go inside, which fewer gas pumps are doing these days. Getting gas here is seamless and reliable. This location is very convenient and is easily accessible. read more

I love Leo's. Best gas station/convenience store concept in Indiana. I wish we had them in California. Highlights: 1. Locally owned 2. Great gas prices and you save more when you have a Leo card. 3. The staff is extremely friendly and informed on the products they sell. 4. The store is so clean and tidy! 5. Great food - from the soups and bowls to the kolaches and pre-packaged offerings. I never thought I'd love eating at a convenience store. The desserts they bake in house are amazing - the brownie is to die for and the red velvet cake is the best I have ever had. NO joke. 6. They sell amazing Indiana products and more elevated food offerings in the market, including Rao's. Way better than any convenience store I've ever been visited. While I do not live full time in Indianapolis anymore, I look forward to visiting Leo's whenever I am in the area. My mom lives near the Emerson location, so it's a perfect place to gas up, grab drinks, and enjoy an inexpensive, satisfying, healthy, quality meal. read more

Emerson Ave. Just got a Leo's! I've been patiently waiting for this opening. If you have never been to a Leo's you'll be surprised at all the stuff they have. I didn't get pictures of the eatery inside and my kolaches :( I ate those. They have fresh salads, soups, dinners, breakfast, hundreds of grab and go things like fruit, wraps, yogurts, local specialty's. I could go on and on. It's not your average gas station so please don't mistake it for that. It's also like a gourmet mini mart. They have a large selection of local candies, chips, fudge. Things you can't find even in a Kroger or Meijer. I picked up a couple ham and cheese kolaches, mini buckeyes, a champagne strawberry dark chocolate bar, small batch pineapple coconut ice cream, and strawberry honey sticks. Everything was a delicious! The kolache was PACKED with ham and sooooo good. They also have all of the other gas station stuff like candy, gum, soda, chips, and not pictured- the gas pumps. They also have a rewards program & and app with coupons and offers. There was a section for alcohol that was bare but had a sign that said it was coming soon. Oh! I almost forget, they have a drive through! I didn't use it today but my cashier said that you can get anything through the drive through except lottery and beer. So glad we finally have a Leo's! read more

The staff is always extremely friendly. I have been surprised at how much they carry within the store. I have not tried the food as of yet but they have a great selection of snacks. The inside has been cleaned and fully stocked every time I go. With my second visit I got cents off my gas purchase. read more

The satff and eatery are awesome. Place is always clean. Food is delicious, too. The entire place is well kept and clean.

The kolaches are AMAZING ...as good or better than the $$kolache factory!! The staff is super friendly and it's clean inside and out! We tried the bacon egg sausage egg and sausage gravy kolache (our favorite one!!) the ingredients are fresh and are not cheap or over processed! SO GLAD we have a Leo's on the southside! Also, try the fruit kolaches and don't forget to grab a few of the homemade dog treats!!! * if you go thru the drive thru with your fur baby they will give you a free one! But you can buy them as well! My picky dogs love them! Enjoy! read more

Really liked the two Kolache's and the chili Mac bowl I tried. I will def come back for their healthier options. Staff was awesome. might hit five stars on the next visit! read more

I passed this place for a long time on the way home from work, coming off of 465. I never went in because I didn't need gas and I thought it would be like another GetGo or something. I finally sopped in one day. WOW! Super friendly people, super fresh food at decent prices, and a good variety! Much more than a gas station. It's a gourmet eatery pretending to be a gas station! read more

Nicest gas station in the area. Extremely clean, more options than most gas stations, food looks good, and oddly they have snacks I've never seen! read more

Do NOT eat any of the hot food - I got horrible food poisoning after eating their steak & Mac n cheese bowl... This was my first time trying their made to order meals - I have gotten the Kolaches in the past, & they really aren't great the next day which is why I stopped going to this market for food. What they do right: They DO have a wonderful selection of unique sodas & drinks! Very fun selection, & even though they are more expensive, its worth it every once &. a while to go in & purchase some random flavors. Again, highly recommend NOT eating their made to order meals.... read more

Convenient drive thru & very friendly staff! Tried the rotisserie chicken salad (pretty good!) & potato salad (not my favorite- has a smoky bacon flavor)- & the kolaches. I liked the egg/sausage/cheese kolache alot, & the cinnamon one is delicious! Will definitely return- want to try a protein bowl or soup next time. read more

The Leo's on Emerson ave was great. JoJo gave excellent customer service. We will definitely come back.

April served up a great plate and better customer service. I added some fresh cilantro to my chili Mac order and it beats many surrounding restaurants. I'll certainly drive past other fast food joints to come back for more. read more

this gas station reminds me a lot of Casey's. they have several gas pumps available and ample parking. inside the store they have limited fresh produce and freezer meals. there are plenty of drink options and snacks for a roadtrip. if you are looking for more they have cold meals and hot meals such as pastas and soups. it's very clean inside and in a wonderful area. read more

This is a real jewel. Family owned this is the fourth opening on Indy's south side. We went for breakfast. Greeted by a very nice guy, Jim. He showed us around and told us some history of the store. It's on the property of the new Marathon gas station. Fresh brewed coffee by the cup, very tasty. Grocery and bakery as well as the meals made to order. We'll go back. Price was reasonable. read more
