Cafe Leila
1724 San Pablo Ave, Albany, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Leila feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Albany, with a genuinely enchanting outdoor patio complete with plants, fountains, and vintage touches that transport you somewhere special. The coffee is genuinely delicious and the staff warm, though fair warning—reviewers consistently note the prices lean toward the premium side, which doesn't always match the food quality. It's the kind of place that works beautifully for lingering over breakfast with friends or settling in with your laptop, especially if you're drawn to the atmospheric patio rather than expecting Instagram-worthy brunch dishes.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

From the Outside I would not had expected what inside held. It was very cute chic outdoor patio filled with plants, fountains, unique artifacts that decorated the area. From a vintage stove top, to a glass window. It was unique and it seemed popular with the locals. No…
Overall, it was an average experience—some dishes stood out while others were just okay. The good: Veggie tyab – packed with flavor; perfectly seasoned veggies, fresh dips, and soft lavash bread. Body healer latte – unique mix of ingredients, but they balanced the flavors…
