My husband and I found this incredible cafe by chance, walked in and were immediately greeted with a warm smile. The ambiance and furnishings are eclectic yet bougie and stylish. The food itself was most generous and tasty. The ingredients were very fresh and the presentation was mouthwatering. That it is vegan/vegetarian friendly is the cherry on top. If you are in the hip area of Sternschanze/Schulterblatt, a pitstop at Leila is a must!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vor kurzem hat das Café Leila in einer wunderschönen Ecke der Schanze am Schulterblatt eröffnet und ich kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen Das Schulterblatt gehört zu den begehrtesten und zentralsten Straßen der Sternschanze, und genau hier bereichert dieses charmante Café die Gegend. Die Produkte sind nicht nur von hoher Qualität, sondern schmecken auch unglaublich lecker. Egal ob allein, mit Freunden oder der Familie – hier fühlt man sich sofort wohl. Die Einrichtung ist modern und gemütlich zugleich, sodass man gerne länger bleibt. Besonders schön finde ich, dass das Café von einer sehr herzlichen und erfolgreichen Familie geführt wird, die mit viel Leidenschaft dabei ist. Wer in der Gegend ist, sollte unbedingt im Café Leila vorbeischauen eine echte Bereicherung für das Viertel
