Authentic delicious Belgian chocolates. Came here to buy a box of 35 Leonidas for a good friend. The pastries and French apple cake are just yummy.

I can’t believe it took me 3 years to come here. The breakfast sandwiches, quiches, and pastries are very good. I haven’t had one of their freshly made crepes yet but will be doing that next time. Great place for a quiet breakfast.

I asked for a crepe with Nutella banana and strawberries and when they gave me one with no Nutella I politely asked for one with Nutella and said it was a mistake but the lady said flat out No and refused to make me one and then didn’t even give me a refund. Such a bad experience DO NOT GO HERE!

So glad I stopped in here while doing errands. Lots of delicious pastry options (I got the enormous, decadent chocolate brownie to go with my latte and a chocolate croissant for my spouse) and I grabbed a bag of heart chocolates that were gone within a few days of bringing them home. Ive also had the very tasty crepes in the past, looking forward to coming back with friends this summer.

I placed an order for delivery yesterday name Sam h it never arrived this was reported to restaurant and I am still chargedUPDATE: no one called me in regards to this order it should have been left at the front door a unit number was not necessary cancel the order I have filed a police reportDO NOT place order here they will not be fulfilled staff will do nothing about it you will be charged with no service made having to report charges as fraud and escalate the issue

Every once in a while you have to treat yourself. Staff was very helpful, even gave us a free sample.

Their crepes and sandwiches are really good and always love to go their when I’m craving a savory crepé. Only complain is that their espresso drinks are variable depending on the barista.

Best Belgian chocolate crepes I have had. Even though I have moved to Milwaukee but whenever Im back in town I make sure to stop by for their crepes.

Great cafe with both pastries and cooked items (crepes, quiche, sandwiches and omelettes). They have a whole bunch of chocolate and caramels that looked really nice as well but I didnt get any.My friend and I came on a weekday morning and each got a waffle and some coffee and ate outside at one of their small tables that fits 2. We waited less than 5 minutes for our coffees and less than 10 minutes for our waffles.Right across from the metra station so perfect for a quick bite in the morning before taking the train.

Lovely cafe with great atmosphere. Central Avenue in Evanston has a lot of choices for coffee, but Leonidas stands out for the quality of its food and the calm atmosphere. Its not a Wi-Fi kind of place and no folks staring at screens were evident. Its much more a spot for meeting friends or taking grandchildren for a treat.I didnt try the chocolates or the macarons, but both appeared beautifully presented. The selection of crepes was excellent.

Croque monsieur is buttery and creamy. Nutella and strawberry crepe delicious. Hot chocolate so good!

Delicious Macarons and Biscotti!

A dream come true for a sweets lover like myself. Other-wordly crepes and a nice atmosphere to relax or read a book.

I find the owner not very personable ir helpful. There veggies used should be fresh not frozen...Might try again fir chocolates, but crepe was not that good.

Love the chocolates, desserts and hot chocolate. Recommend the Opera cake (pictured).

I love coffee but my stomach doesnt tolerate it so well- Leonidas has a great chicory drink that hits the spot for me.

The place is simple, quiet, beautiful, tasteful, full of beautiful details, the best place in ChicagoI love ❤️

Love this place. The best hot chocolate. Great food.

Great crepe and chocolate!

Charged for missing Postmates order

Perfect. A lovely way to spend time with my daughter.

This location has very nice associates. The store was clean and the chocolates where nicely displayed.

Omg. Paris & All of the multisensory experiences of it

Loved the omelet and coffee. Nice place and friendly people.

AmazingPlace

Crepes and waffles are fantastic

Delicious chocolates surround you in the display cases but the rising smokiness in the atmosphere gives me delusions how I feel about this place. I ordered a ham and cheese quiche. The quiche is 3 in half inches diameter, mostly their roll, wonder as I am eating my quiche where is the ham, I think I saw 2 maybe 3 small squares pieces, but the food is tasty. I give the place second chance.

Food is delicious here

Do not order here

The hot chocolate in this place is amazing!! I also enjoyed the strawberry crepes. It was fairly packed and only two workers, hence the four stars. However they both did an awesome job. Will definitely come back whenever Im in Chicago.

I called ahead to see if I could still walk in and buy something. The lady told me she was closing in 30 minutes. I rushed from work to get there 25 minutes later, only to find their door locked.Please don’t lie to customers. I would not have wasted my time if you had been truthful. I really needed something special for a gift today.I will never shop here after this experience.

The staff was sweet. I loved the ambience and the food (I order an omelette with bacon) was prompt and tasted delicious. I would recommend their food at the very least, since I never got a beverage.

My senses have never enjoyed chocolate so much. Simply walking by the shop my nose told me we had to stop. My traveling companion and I accidentally walked in through the back kitchen entrance the aroma was so good. Choosing the sampler of three items was the best choice. Small in size, we savored everything on that platter for what felt like an hour.

Why is the owner so unpleasant to staff and customers?

Great coffee, great crepes, and the service is excellent. Also a great place to meet and talk, since you can easily hear the people you are talking with.

Fabulous french crêpes, Belgium chocolate, scrumptious desserts, al fresco dining and take out, and excellent customer service.

What a sweet place! Delicious and exactly what we needed! Wish we lived near here to go again. Very friendly helpful staff. Parking is on the street. Very affordable, you certainly get more than what you pay for in taste.

Owner and staff love great crepes and frappe

Very nice... Omly one bad think is that damn smoke... I feel bad for workers, they dont have idea how unhealthy it is for them !!!

My favorite place for coffee and/or breakfast! It has a very cozy, European feel to it instead of the institutional feel of Starbucks and the like. Good food and, of course, their specialty chocolates!

Absolutely love this place. Ive frequented this place a few times after trying their fresh Belgian waffle with coffee.

LOVE it. You wont find a more French Napoleon slice than here.Their crepes are DELICIOUS. And the chocolates are...PERFECT.Nice atmosphere too.

Comforting. I hope to make a friend for a relaxed friendship. Great varieties of different foods and non - alcohol drinks. Tons and tons of Chocolates! Multi Continental.

Great staff, great food, and excellent chocolate. I love the ambiance.

Nice French atmosphere. Very chill and nice

Good macaroons. Coffee good

Local cafe that has an assortment of chocolates, pastries, as well as breakfast food. The bacon egg and cheese was excellent. Cool decor on the inside, has a retro feel with a lot of natural light

Wonderful place, and best crapes in town. Four stars because there is no ventilation at all! Barely breathing sometimes!

Awesome hot chocolate! Thats what makes me go, and every time I switch between their Chocolate croissants and crepes not too sweet. I recommend.

Probably the greatest chocolate on the North Shore.

Always good. The chocolate croissants are excellent

The Belgium chocolate Opera cake was scrumptious. The coffee superb. First time there, Ill be back. Thanks.

I dont remember the exact name of it, but the black and white hot chocolate was AMAZING! And literally seemed to keep growing. It was like something out of Harry Potter.

Ordered from them crepes with salmon, and it was just great!

Candy is always fresh. Great service. Attractive environment

One thing I noticed is that at that time it was one lady working. I think they should have one person to cook and one for cashier, but she was running back and forth trying to complete orders. This was on a Tuesday morning before 8 and it was a little busy. Because its holiday themed, I got Turkey, brie, and cranberry croissant and the vegatable crepe. The croissant sandwich I didnt like. Turkey tasted like it was out of a sandwich pack, brie was cold and bland, and cranberry was cranberry. The brie threw it off. The vegatable crepe had mushroom, spinach, and thyme. The filing and crepe batter needs to be seasoned more I feel.

Very cold staff, smoky atmosphere, worlds most over-sweettened pudding.

High quality Belgian chocolate. Perfect croissants.

The staff who helped me pick and prepare a gift was very helpful.

My favorite place on Sunday morning to relax and enjoy an expertly made cappuccino. The staff and owner are friendly and welcoming.

By far the best chocolate and crepes Ive had outside of France. Will try the savory crepe next time.

Love it, wish was open later. Awesome staff.

Great coffee. Exquisite chocolates & crepes! What more could you ask for?!?

Great pastries and of course hot chocolate. Enjoyable and warm atmosphere.

Very cozy and amazing food, prices are a tad high, but the great food makes up for it.

The restaurant is my go-to for lunch on weekends. Staff is always attentive and the cooks are fast and always makes the food perfect!Clean environment and ample parking space.

Staff are always pleasant, the food is always good, and the Mocha Belge is to die for. I could wish the prices were a little lower, but I suppose you have to pay for quality :) 4 stars.

Nice service, best iced cafe mocha, cant wait till the fall to try the hot chocolate and the mocha Belge

Excellent chocolate and coffee drinks. Pricey and worth it.

Very friendly owner and staff, lovely atmosphere, worlds best hot chocolate!

Not great if youre hoping for quick service, but they have a good selection of crepes and pastries.

Spectacular little gem in downtown Wilmette.

Good stuff and cozy place.I like the almond croissant

Really cozy atmosphere and fantastic crepes, but prices are fairly high.

Good food but extremely slow service...expect to wait 15min for your one drink order. They need to stop taking orders and focus on filling them once in a while....

Best chocolate. Good service.

Great place, pretty good food.

Cozy place, nice crepes, great sweets.

Merveilleux ! The quiche with spinach, sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese was devine.

Best coffee ever!

Lovely environment!

Crepes taste amazing!

I have not been here yet but I called and they do have wifi! I didn’t see it in any other reviews so I wanted to make sure folks knew. :)

Lovely place for a coffee and to chat.

Hot chocolate, metropolis coffee, Belgium chocolate, fresh pastery

I absolutely loved the white hot chocolate on a cold and stressful day.
