One of my go to coffee shops in the area. The indoor/outdoor patio is well behaved dog friendly, coffees are consistent and they make a good lox bagel! It's important to note that they don't have any coffee flavorings and only offer simple syrup- this is almost always an issue when I bring people along. Love the vibes and they had a board noting live music so the vibes are definitely it.

Amazing food, great service, sweet lovely ambiance. I went with a group for a work lunch so they served us family style. Omigod, everything was delicious! I'm a vegetarian so I ate the eggplant Parmesan without the noodles, mixed green salad, broccolini, cold antipasto plate, they were fantastic. My co-workers had the pizza and roast chicken, which looked and smelled amazing and they said was really good. We sat on the patio, it was feminine and rustic. I'm not sure why other people weren't happy, I thought it was terrific and I can't wait to order from them or eat there in person again.

This place is literally so cute! I loved dining here but it is quite pricey especially if you're ordering alcoholic drinks. My partner ordered two different drinks and it came in the size of a whiskey glass, so a bit small + had lots of ice + it was pricey. Apparently my partner barely felt any alcohol and it was more than $10 for each drink. The non alcoholic Arnold Parker I had was good though. I also ordered the kingping 12" pizza pie with arugula and prosciutto. The texture and crisp of the pizza was near perfect but it was severely lacking in tomato sauce. They really did not want to drench the pizza at all! As a result it lacked flavor and an oomph factor to the pizza. There really wasn't much service either and you need to tip at the beginning. The restaurant also had a ton of what looked like good pastry options and cakes, fresh pasta to buy, many drink options, cheese, and canned fish! Overall a cool spot that I would revisit.

Came here with some friends after work. This is a nice spot. We ordered a wood fired kingpin pizza, some fries, and a salad to all share. The pizza was great. We all loved the taste of it. Specifically, this one had some great toppings on it. Both the fries and salad were nice sides to pick on, while we just hung out and enjoyed our pizza. We had a fun time here.

Lea's finally back after a year of renos! We swung by Saturday afternoon and tried as much as we could, from the sandwiches to the new square slices. The mozz & pesto baguette ($10) was tasty but the bread was a bit too hard. I enjoyed the challah & egg salad sandwich ($11) a lot better - the challah just melts in your mouth! The square slices (~$5 each) were pretty good, but I'm excited to return for dinner sometime soon for their thin round pizzas - I've missed them so!

I was on Cortelyou Road last week, which is not a part of Brooklyn I've spent much time in recently. It's amazing how many restaurants have sprung up within a few blocks. I wasn't sure if Lea is a store, take out spot or restaurant (it's all of the above, with maybe a half dozen tables outside). The cookies and other baked goods looked beautiful and very tempting, but I opted for pizza. Trying for a healthier pie, I ordered the di Rupo, which was topped with brussel sprouts, leeks and ricotta. I loved the puffy dough and the pizza popped with colour. I thought it looked like Springtime on a plate. My only issue was that it needed more cheese and maybe to be melted a little more. I'll have to venture over again to try some of the treats and the fish sandwich.
