Crema's Take
“This beloved breakfast spot in Alva wins hearts with genuinely delicious, unpretentious food—think fluffy chocolate chip waffles and hearty traditional breakfast fare that keeps families coming back generation after generation. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between casual and cozy, with a homey, lived-in charm that feels like a local institution, though service can be inconsistent during the inevitable breakfast rush. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself bumping elbows with regulars and neighbors, making it perfect for a lingering weekend breakfast or a quick weekday grab before heading out.”

Decided to stop there on our way by. Very pleasantly surprised. It was packed. Service was great. Food was delicious. Highly recommend. Not pricey at all.
This was a terrible experience. It was busy, but there were open tables and was able to be seated right away. It took 10min to get menus after two other tables were seated and received menus and ordered before us. They were people they seemed to know. We got menus and after another 6min they came by and asked what our drink order was and explained no one has spoken to us. Got our coffee ordered and received. Another 8 min went by and they took our order. The rush cleared out. After 20 min we received our food and the taste was good but not hot. We then had to wait as our food continued to cool, as they didn't give us silverware and had to get someone's attention. They didn't give us refills on our coffee which was empty when they brought our food and took off to talk with others they knew. Finally we were able to get attention and asked for coffee and they came, but didn't have enough for us and said they were brewing more. We waited and while we waited the brought coffee out to a newly seated table. After finishing our food, my wife had to get up and go ask for the coffee. Our bill was over $35. The coffee was $3.49 each, and wehad to beg for the 2 cups each that we had for $7. We have been here before, but not for awhile. I will not be back anytime soon and will spread this message. This was a terrible experience!
I love to go out for breakfast on occasion. Since our favorite restaurant has permanently closed after the owner’s death we decided to come back to Leo’s as we had been here before and enjoyed it. Big mistake!!! We expected it to be busy as is typical. It was very obvious that customers that were known regulars got more timely service and attention. Our server actually sat down next the people at the table next to us and had a conversation. Meanwhile after 2 other parties that had come in after us got their food and coffee refills before we got our food. For $3.49 foot coffee I shouldn’t have to walk up to the counter for a refill only to have my cup filled from a pot still brewing! Needless to say it tasted HORRIBLE! I’m really so sorry to see the decline in this restaurant! We love a good small dinner! This one will no longer get our business! (And yes, we are full time local residents!)
Dated, but homey. Great service, good breakfast. I’ll be back…..
The food was absolutely delicious, and it quickly became a hit with my boys. They couldn’t get enough of the chocolate chip waffles – fluffy, perfectly cooked, and loaded with chocolatey goodness! It was a delightful treat that made our breakfast extra special. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic atmosphere. We will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend!
