Leo's is hidden below in in basement level in the New Town and definitely a favourite weekend hang out. I've been coming here since it first opened and it's still going strong.
Firstly, they have beanery in their name and thankfully the coffee is good. If I am in for breakfast or lunch I will happily order a flat white. If tea is your thing, it looks like a decent selection of that also.
We came with some Yelp folk for brunch here recently and it did not disappoint. The menu contains some of the usual favourites and it's all done to a high standard. I had eggs benedict - the hollandaise was perfect, the muffin was generous and I would definitely have it again. I definitely want to try a 'croque-mon-scone' next time though which looked fantastic.
It's not huge and it's often quite busy; there's more room in the back but it feels a little bit more like being in basement. It's definitely a good place to spend some time on a lazy day though. There is plenty of pretty good looking cake on offer to go with the coffee and tea.
Leo's have expanded their brand to a couple more places across the city which are also worth checking out. For breakfast/lunch/cake in the new town you should give the original a go. read more
