Leo
123 Havemeyer St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Leo is a neighborhood gem that feels like a warm, familiar gathering place the moment you walk in, offering far more than coffee with its full Italian menu of fresh-made focaccia, wood-fired pizzas, and standout dishes like impossibly tender meatballs and a Caesar salad that keeps regulars coming back. Whether you're settling in for a long sit with a traditional espresso drink, catching up with friends on the outdoor patio, or bringing your family for a leisurely breakfast, the consistently excellent food and genuinely flexible, welcoming staff create an atmosphere that makes Leo feel like your own personal spot in Brooklyn.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.
