This is an amazing neighborhood spot. You need to order at the register, then they bring you your order. The people who work here are the kindest, friendliest crew. The food is outstanding. Not a wide variety, but the pizza, sandwiches and pasta are all made incredibly well.
The location is great too. Feels like we're hanging on the street basically. The cocktails are delicious and potent. This the definite, go to hang out spot in the neighborhood. Enjoy

There are lots of great things to eat here. You can sit down for a meal or get a lot of options to go. They even have a little Deli area with Grab and go stuff. We had the focaccia which wasn’t my favorite but some of the other items really delighted us like the burrito. The beverages are great too. There is a lot of place to sit on the patio and there is a bathroom at this location as well.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better neighborhood staple than Lea. This one is pretty simple: great food, great vibes, comfortable atmosphere. The food is great for a lot of reasons but what I really love is the ever changing menu that brings in new things to try but ALWAYS keeps the obvious favorites. The energy from the staff and the music they play is so consistently positive and chill it makes me feel welcome there no matter the energy of the day. Prices are decent and consistent with other neighborhood restaurants and the quality is absolutely there every time. Love it!

Great place to get a quick coffee and pastry. The pastries are $6 a piece and they’re pretty good. The focaccia potato and rosemary was really good but it was cold. Almond croissant was delicious. I also found out that the pizzas and drinks are half off after 8:30pm so I’ll be taking advantage of that. The seating area is pretty cute.

This place should have gotten a city award for pandemic reinvention. Formerly a passable Italian spot, then a neighborhood essential grocer and winery, now a really great Italian bistro with good foods to go and a great hybrid outdoor seating area. Plus private cabins.

Delicious coffee, amazing breakfast burritos, and the guava cream cheese croissant is heavenly! Plus, the servers are supremely nice.

cant understate how lovely this cafe was from the menu options to the staff it was all wonderful. the staff are very knowledgeable about their food items and the food itself was out of this world. so delicious and refreshing, id highly recommend the zucchini salad and gnocchi dish. it’s a bit on the pricey side but they have good happy hour pricing!

Beautiful outdoor dining options with great food, wine, and cocktails. Pizza was awesome but the mushroom risotto, which was rich and smoky, stole the show. Fun date night or with friends!

Before Lea closed for quite a while, I used to buy bread there. The multi-seed multi-whole-grain loaf was perhaps the best bread I've eaten. It was a staple for me and I really missed it when Lea was closed due to a kitchen fire. Before it closed, I ate there a few times. The food was okay--not great--3 stars. Since Lea reopened, I've been buying the bread again and it's still wonderful. My partner and I have eaten there twice, once for brunch, once for dinner. The food was incredibly good--5 stars--both times. It's likely to become my partner's and my go-to place when we want to go out to eat.
