LEORA

This restaurant was amazing! Welcoming servers and great vibes You can have free appetizers (small veggies with sesame cream sauce) it was healthy and delicious! If you expect sweet and sugary food, this might not be the best place,but seeking for healthy and delicious food then please try this place! This restaurant is pet friendly, better to visit early morning before packed people You can easily find the street park as well

What a cute and eclectic little eatery! Friendly servers and super open, vibrant vibe! Plenty of healthy and delicious options on food! Definitely pet friendly as we saw a lot of doggies 🐶 Recommend this in the morning as it’s less busier Parking is a little scarce

Hands down my fave cafe ever. The owners are the sweetest couple you’ll ever meet, the food and drinks are impeccable, and the ambiance is like a little hidden oasis smack dab in the middle of Beverly Hills. Do yourself a favor and try one of everything. Oh, AND they cater!

I’ve lived in Los Angeles my entire life, and this is hands-down the best cafe in all of Los Angeles. It’s family-owned, and you taste and feel the difference in everything they do. Ingredients are top quality, super fresh, and you can tell they prioritize cleanliness and health, but somehow the food is still so delicious and comforting. Nothing feels heavy or overdone and you always leave feeling great It’s literally a hidden gem in Beverly Hills, so you always feel exclusive and right at home at the same time. It’s the kind of place that automatically feels like your neighborhood spot, even when it’s your first time. If you’re looking for the perfect balance of quality, health, and flavor, this is it. I can confidently say that LEORA is the best cafe in LA.

Super disappointed! Their new sitting system is horrible. I agve up after waiting 50 minutes. Before they had that host you'd get a table in 5-10 minutes. Now if you don't know the host she will get people she knows first and good luck with that. I bet the food is still great but that way of sitting is unacceptable

Hidden gem cafe in the heart of Beverly Hills. Leora cafe is inside the UTA but it’s easy guided with signs to get there. Just park on Civic Center Dr 9346, and by little steps you’ll find the first sign. And from there just follow the signs! Food is delicious! They offer coffee, lunch, brunch, snack and even fresh fruit. What I love about their website is Daily Specials being updated literally daily with a date. It has indoor and outdoor sitting. Great ambience! I had a Mushroom Fajitas Salad and it was big and yummy. Very fulfilling. They have vegan options on the menu as well as vegan cookies and snacks. I highly recommend it!

Terrible pickup experience, Rude staff Placed an online pickup order and was told it was ready before I arrived. After asking a staff member, they told me it would be a couple more minutes. I ended up waiting over 25 minutes, checked again and was told the same thing just a few more minutes. Finally, a completely different person came over and casually pointed to a random corner of the restaurant where my food had apparently been sitting the whole time. I asked why no one bothered to tell me and why they made me wait so long for something that was already done but they dismissed it. So not only was my time completely wasted, but the food was cold by the time I got it. Staff was dismissive and had attitude throughout. Definitely not a place I’d recommend, especially for online orders. There are way better options in Beverly Hills that respect your time and actually communicate, avoid if you value your time.

LEORA is my new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. They have everything you could possibly want in a restaurant. The food is delicious, made with the highest quality ingredients, staff is incredibly nice and wants you to have the best experience possible, food comes out perfectly and tastes even better than it looks, restaurant is clean & decorated very well. I will be back weekly and would definitely recommend trying cafe LEORA. Owner & chef Leeor was also incredible and made our experience even more enjoyable. This is the type of restaurant where everything is incredible and you can’t go wrong with any dish. Also- try their daily special as it is always incredible. A must try, could not have had a better experience.

A fantastic brunch spot and restaurant! I recently went here with three friends for a weekend brunch and were able to immediately get a table (Leora doesn't accept brunch reservations). Leora is in between two office buildings near a loading dock, so it is a bit hard to find and GPS will not be the most helpful. Our service was outstanding from start to finish, with our server even bringing over a high chair for a toddler in our party. We were able to order and get our food in a timely manner and everything was delicious. I got a dark chocolate mocha and a coffee to drink, both of which were very tasty. We shared the following dishes (I recommend this method of ordering as there are lots of tasty things): Chicken Sausage Hummus and Pita: Delicious, creamy hummus with fresh, well-baked pita. Jerusalem Bagel Platter: A solid Jerusalem bagel, although it could have been a bit crispier on the outside and a bit more chewy on the inside. The sauces and eggs were delicious. Shakshouka: The sauce was hearty and well-spiced, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Grilled Bread Platter: Fantastic crispy and grilled bread. The sauces and eggs were delicious. We also got extra pita (a must) to enjoy with these dishes. I would highly recommend Leora for your next LA brunch spot!

Service is terrible. Food is ok We went two people. My friend got her plate was almost dont before I got mine. We both ordered falafel :) The staff is oblivious Not coming back

LEORA has been on my list for a very long time and I was stoked that I finally got to go today. It's a little hidden in between the UTA and Live Nation offices. There was plenty of parking and it was pretty crowded for a Monday but still easy to get a table during lunch rush hour. My friends and I knew we were going to split the Holy Schnitz sandwich and it did not disappoint. I would come back and just get that every day. The challah was fresh and warm and the schnitzel was so thin but not dry. All the flavors really worked together. We wanted to split something else and the person taking our order suggested their Caesar wrap as one of their top items. This is what's making me give 4 stars instead of 5, as while there was a dressing on the side, the wrap itself was very dry and I wouldn't get it again. The drinks were also phenomenal! My friend got the frozen coffee and I got the Sunset. It's a mix of mango puree, homemade lemonade, and hibiscus iced tea. It was so refreshing and not too sweet - perfect for a hot summer day!

This place was cute. The fries were good and the platter was good as well. The tuna melt was a little disappointing as the bread was just too much and too chewy I removed the bread and just ate the tuna inside which was good. We also ordered the breakfast burrito but it never arrived! It's okay though because we got full off of what we got and told them not to bring it lol. The coffee was good as well.

I visited during a busy time with long lines for a table, but I was lucky to place a to-go drink order instead. I tried the matcha strawberry latte, which had a nice level of sweetness, though I wish the matcha flavor had been a bit stronger since the strawberry puree slightly overpowered it. Overall, it was still a refreshing drink, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try their other offerings like coffee, smoothies, and juices.

Leora is truly a hidden gem! Tucked away behind the Live Nation offices. I only ordered to go, but they also offer seated dining. My coffee was great and I'll be coming back to try the food.

Terrible service. Was quoted an hour wait for a table, decided to get a snack while we wait. The hour comes up, still nothing. Decide to get a to-go order. Waited AN HOUR to get a TO-GO order!!! Got a coffee as well and had to keep asking when that would be ready. After 2 hours, was still not called for a table. Hostess was dismissive. This place needs to get it together. The food is not worth this experience.

Leora Cafe is such a hidden gem in Beverly Hills - right by the library and Live Nation! From the moment you walk in the ambiance makes you feel at home aka cute cafe vibes. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and the owner even came and checked on us. I had the chicken caesar wrap and it was perfection--fresh ingredients, beautifully plated, and so flavorful. The matcha was okay, but I didn't expect much as that's not their specialty. I liked the Arnold Palmer. On another occasion, I had the shakshuka which was amazing. And the schnitzel which was incredibly but a little oily (granted it's fried - but delicious) - pairs well with a salad. It's clear they put a lot of care into every aspect of the cafe. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for something fresh. I want to try the pastries next time.

Fabulous food. Went for dinner and everything was delicious. Chopped salad, flatbread and smash burger were all super yummy. What made the experience even more memorable was the amazing service. Special shoutout to Bryan for his excellent recommendations and friendly, enthusiastic service. Food was great and Bryan made our dinner even better!!! ***

If you wanna be gaslit and treated like crap and talked down to by the owner then this is the perfect place to go. I order the tuna melt about 3 times a week from postmates. Today was my first time in person. Not sure what was so hard about a simple sandwich but after their 3rd mess up and waiting an hour I left because I was not waiting a 4th time, and at this point, I didn't Trust them with my food after what i witnessed. First I ordered the tuna melt that I always order with sliced Avocado. They gave me a diff thing they have on Sundays. If it's different. Then you should let people know "would you like the original or the Sunday special" it's not that hard. How was I supposed to know the tuna melt turns into a different item on Sundays. I receive wrong item and ask for it to be remade into what I ordered. Then they bring me out a Tuna sandwich, not a tuna melt. The cheese and avocado was missing. I was so upset and starving at this point I didn't even mention the cheese bc it would mean that they would have to remake it so I just said can I please just get my Avocado. The owner is mad and takes my order and says "ILL HANDLE THIS MYSELF" after watching him touch everything - in and around- the front trying to micro manage, picking something up off the floor, touching the order screen to redo my order, touching things all over the restaurant. He takes my sandwich and storms to the back. Opens it up. Peels off the bread with his bare hands. Spreads GUACAMOLE ON THE BREAD SLAPS IT BACK ON. Walks out and hands it to me. I ask him why he put guacamole as my avocado when it always comes with avacado slices. Lol. He tried to gaslight me and say THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS COMES. I tell him no it's not and I ask him if he wants me to go grab my phone from where my mom and son are sitting and he can see how many times I've ordered it in postmates and that I KNOW how it comes and the Avacado it comes with isn't guacamole. He was obviously bitter I sent the sandwiches back the first time and wanted to be petty and make my pay, but unfortunately for him I pay attention. So sorry sir. No. I do not want your unsanitary dirty hands man handled guacamole tuna sandwich with the cheese missing. I ask for a refund and leave. Ghetto

This was the best brunch I've had in a while. The food was phenomenal and immediately transported me to Israel. The quality of everything from the olive oil to the bread to the coffee was incredible. It was a great menu and environment with our kids this morning, and I'm already planning on going back tomorrow. Please open more locations!

Amazing, High Quality Dishes. Every time I come here, the food does not disappoint. Top tier customer service and food options. Been coming here for a while now. Huge plus they are closed for Shabbat!!

We had an excellent Sunday morning brunch today with the entire family. The place is: Popping. Trendy. And incredibly Popular! Food is fantastic as are the drinks. Definitely get yourself an iced Oat Latte and enjoy that Soda can glass in which it's served. Pro Tip: make a rezzo online with Resy ahead of time otherwise you may wait about 30-60 mins for a table. Alternatively, you can order inside and take your food to go as you walk through the Farmers Market. You can thank me later.

Tried the takeout sandwich here. Not bad. I can't give a full on review cause I wasn't here. Got a takeout from my SO. I think it was a caprese or something of that nature. Missing cheese though, so I added my own. Would come back and try. Seems like a nice place.

Casual cafe tucked away behind the Beverly Hills library. Decent seating for a quick bite, decent food, and friendly service. Free 2 hour parking in the lot nearby.

Came for breakfast and had a great meal here! The coffee and pastries are also excellent. Iced pistachio lavender latte, seasonal fruit plate and parfait were all fantastic. As for pastries, I tried the babka and marble loafs (babka was the standout), as well as a chocolate chip cookie.

Kind of confusing to find the restaurant. We entered a medical building at first but thankfully there were signs pointing us in the direction of the restaurant so we made it! The food was fantastic. I really enjoyed my Caesar tahini salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. My friend also really enjoyed the Jerusalem bagel sandwich. She said the bread was very fluffy and soft. We added our name to the waitlist when we first got in and they estimated a 30 min wait which was closer to a 45 min wait but at least they texted us when our table was ready so we were able to spend the time walking around and exploring the area. It was very busy when we got there. Seems like it's quite a popular spot!

The vibe and the food here are really good. I made a reservation today at 11:15 and got there a bit early. The server sat me down promptly and placed a reserved sign on the table, which made me feel special. Ordering was easy enough: the menus are in the front of the cafe and you order there before you sit down with your number. I got the shakshuka with grilled sourdough and the elderberry hibiscus. I really liked the sourdough bread that came with the shakshuka. It tasted really fresh and homemade, and it paired well with the tomatoey, eggy and cheesy shakshuka. I also liked that the tea was not sweet at all and appreciated that I could actually taste the floweriness of it. The ambience in the cafe was good too. Overall, my experience here was great. I would definitely like to go back and try the other foods they have there, as well as their coffee. PS. I think option 3 to get to the restaurant on their map is the best. Its free parking for 2 hours, and the restaurant is literally right across the street from the structure. You just have to make sure you leave the structure on the correct side.

The food is great but the way the seating works just doesn't do it for me which is why I avoid coming here sometimes. Pick up and delivery might be a safer choice because it's also not really stroller friendly

AMAZING! The food and drinks are really good and worth the trouble of figuring out exactly how to get to the place. I wish the hours were better and that they were located in a more accessible spot but will continue to make the journey. My first visit was during a heat wave and the chef was very nice and hospitable with our group and made sure we weren't in the direct sun. Great service!

Waited 25 min for an acai bowl. It was melted and small with only granola, coconut flakes, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries for $15.

Leora is my favorite brunch spot in Beverly Hills for fresh, high-quality food and a cute dine-in or takeout experience. I love the buffalo chicken wrap with their house-made hot sauce and the pistachio matcha. They also have a great assortment of sandwiches like the egg sandwich, turkey and fig, and more. Perfect for weekday lunch or Sunday brunch. Closed on Saturdays. Pro tip: you can also find some of their sandwiches, including the egg and turkey fig, at And Sons coffee shop on N. Camden Drive, great for a quick grab-and-go with your coffee or matcha.

This was hands-down one of the worst experiences I've had with a hostess--ever. From the second we arrived (after waiting 50 minutes in the heat), she was rude, dismissive, and clearly irritated. She told us our table was being cleaned and we were next. We watched the table being reset for three and figured, okay--great. But when we politely asked if we could be seated as the table looked ready, she snapped that it wasn't for us and immediately gave it to a party that had just walked up. When we tried to clarify--again, politely--she got defensive, denied saying anything about the table, and hit us with a power trip: "I'm the one in control," and told us she did not appreciate us speaking to the other hostess (who was actually the only helpful person we spoke to). That colleague kindly offered to seat us inside while we waited, just to get us out of the sun. Our waitress later and food was also fantastic--the only reason this review isn't one star. The same hostess when seating us said, "You need to be out in an hour," with a tone that was so unnecessarily nasty. I've worked in hospitality--I know how hard the job can be but this is was someone who flat-out should not be working in a guest-facing role.

This place is mid. It takes forever to get your food. Both times I came, we waited a long time. I observed the waiters. Most of them should be wearing gloves to handle food. Lots of cross contaminatiom going on. A bit confusion to eat here. One time people were Eating by some dumpsters outside, dirty floors . Quite Interesting.

The food was great and our waiter was so sweet - but our experience was totally tainted by the hostess. The hostess was incredibly rude and many other people in line agreed. If you incapable of being nice to customers (or even faking it), maybe don't be a hostess?!

If I could give a rating of 6 stars I would. Just fantastic. Service, food and environment were all great.

Rude Staff & Poor Service Our experience at Leora Cafe was awful. We were told a 45-minute wait but ended up waiting much longer, only to be told our table still wasn't ready--and another party had been seated ahead of us. When we politely asked to sit at an available four-person table, the hostess rudely refused, despite seeing us struggling with our kids. Her attitude was dismissive and unhelpful, showing zero willingness to accommodate. After waiting far too long with no effort to assist us, we left. Unorganized, unaccommodating, and not worth the hassle.

I came here a few weeks ago for Sunday brunch with friends around 11:30am. It was busy and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. They take reservations in advance but not same-day reservations. I got the shakshuka which was great and the sea salt mocha iced latte which I liked and it wasn't too sweet. I definitely would come back again for brunch.

Great if you like lines, waiting, 1 hour limit on tables, crowds If you like quality food and chill vibes idk Steak on a cesar salad. I wonder if there was enough salt on it hmm. If you wanted it to taste like an ocean, there was insufficient salt. Like I could taste 10% of the steak and salad and 90% salt guys let's get to 100% plz. Blueberry smoothie was actually good and would return for a smoothie if I wanted to

A little delayed in this post, but...I was happy to learn Leora had opened for dinner service. My friend and I came for a glass of wine and a "lite" bite. Well... we simply loved this place. The entire Staff were really lovely, and helpful in helping us our decision, and everything we shared was simply delicious. And of course we ended up order a bottle of Rose (it was a beautiful 70 degree evening) along with several items to share. It's been nearly a month, and I'm still thinking of the stuffed Zucchini! I will definitely return.

Great service and even greater food. Fresh and yummy :) Loved the shakshuka and the vibe, a hidden gem.

Really dope vibe, and the food was delicious. We usually order online from this place, but went for the first time in person and Sunday. Brunch was amazing. The juice was really good, the breakfast burrito was fire, the Araya was incredible and the tahini Caesar salad. This is my go to Spot now.

Stale Cake, Soapy Ice Tea.....and 40 minute time limit..... What a disappointment. We were told if we ordered inside, we could sit at one of tables outside. I only drink Ice Tea and i have had it in 50 countries and i never have thought about saying anything about it but this ice tea tasted like soapy water, undrinkable so I didn't, food was mediocre at best and the cake, days old...shameful....then after being there for not more 40 minutes, including getting our food , we were asked to leave for a few teenage girls who wanted the outside tables.

Very nice place to sit. The food was ok, but the acai bowl was amazing! Great service too.

I really like this place and have enjoyed coming here for the past few months. They've become very popular lately, which is great to see, but unfortunately, the space is just too small for the growing crowd. Every time we come, the wait time is way too long and doesn't seem to make sense. I'm giving 5 stars because I want to support the business, I've had great experiences here, but I don't think I'll be coming back unless things change. I'm sorry, but it might be time to consider a bigger location. You've outgrown the space.

Great salads and Breakfast dishes next to the Beverly Hills Library with easy parking access. Lots of young crowd and bustling energy and the most important part is the quick and efficient service. Love it!

the strawberry matcha here was so good surprisingly. came to try the tuna melt, and it was delicious, i did end up liking the bacon egg and cheese one more though. smoothie was tasty, there was plenty of street parking on the weekend for brunch. it was very busy, so i chose to do take out which was made pretty quickly.

This might have been the best brunch I've had in a while!!! The cafe itself is located in kind of a weird alleyway but don't let that dissuade you from their food. I love a healthy brunch place and I love mediterranean food even more so when I arrived and found Leora to be a healthy mediterranean brunch restaurant I knew I was in for a treat. And I was not disappointed. I ordered the breakfast platter and was incredibly satisfied with each and every component of the dish. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The three dips were incredibly flavorful. The labneh and za'atar brought a delicious tart component to the meal. The hummus was creamy and rich, providing a reliable nutty balance to the tart labneh. The matbucha's thick texture and delicious fusion of red pepper, tomato, and garlic complimented the previous two dips perfectly. The sourdough bread was grilled to perfection--crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The flavor profile created when all these elements were combined was absolutely divine. But that's not even all! The Israeli salad rivaled one's I've tried in Israel. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy and the tart lemon dressing was addicting. I also ordered their house brewed cold brew, and if you prefer cold brew with chocolately undertones rather than citrus, (which I do), then their cold brew is the drink for you!!! In addition, the atmosphere and service were impeccable! My friend and I stayed for maybe 2 hours enjoyed the summer breeze and the calm patio. Although, fair warning, it gets quite busy around 1 or 2! There was quite the line and not enough seating! Overall, Leora was delicious and I will CERTAINLY be returning!

This place is unbelievable! I have been a handful of times and have been disappointed. Everything on the menu is exceptional, the frozen coffee is mind blowing deliciousness and atmosphere is hopping. Only complaint is that when you check in you have one hour. But definitely one of the best hours of the day.

Wonderful breakfast/lunch menu. EVERYTHING was delicious. Great vibe outdoors and indoors spaces.

We were so excited to try Leora for Sunday brunch but overall it was a major disappointment. To start, the patio is way too small for the amount of tables and people they try to cram in there. Half the table we were seated at was in the sun, and it was way too hot to sit there comfortably. We were quickly dismissed by the hostess when I asked to move to one of the open tables inside. We decided to stick it out because we were excited to try the food, but we should have trusted our instincts and left. Half the food came out before my drink even arrived and multiple times we had to ask the server to clear food off the small table so we could make room for more plates. Most critically, one of the guests in my party has a dairy allergy, so she ordered the Israeli salad because it did not have cheese listed as one of the ingredients on the menu. The waitress also did not ask if anyone at the table had any allergies, but we didn't think to mention it because it's not listed on the menu. To our surprise, the dish arrived covered in cheese. We explained to the waitress why the dish hadn't been eaten and she asked if we wanted something else but at that point we just wanted to get out of the sun and pay the bill. She offered up olive oil cake to rectify this but retracted the offer after confirming all of pastries contain dairy. She didn't offer to take the salad off the bill or comp any of our other food or drinks so we paid for a dish she couldn't eat. While the other dishes were fine, they were not enough to make up for the service and ambiance.

Great service and excellent quality food & drink! There are a few entrees on the regular menu I enjoy and the baked goods are wonderful. They also have daily specials and serve a lot of to-go orders in the local community.

The food was amazing. The tuna fish sandwich was tasty. And a large portion of the chicken pesto sandwich was moist and tender. The Caesar chicken wrap was yummy. We added garlic fries to the order. The were crispy and delicious. Love how thin they were. The minestrones soup was FABULOUS. I was honored to meet the chef and his wife. This is a must stop foodie lunch or breakfast stop.

Service and ambiance are great. Very nice place to sit and relax. The food is great, but would probably pass on the pastries. The breakfast burrito is very simple but still delicious, shakshuka and the bread it is served with are great, but red bell pepper heavy. Huevos rancheros were really good, as well as the side of tater tots. We also got hummus and pita which was really good. I didn't like the avocado toast but the people I was with enjoyed it. Coffees were all good, pastries have been disappointing. Definitely a good spot to check out for breakfast/coffee.

Dont eat here if you don't want to be sick! I'm an Uber driver, I stopped by use the restroom only to see LEORA EMPLOYEES not wash their hands after taking a shit! Parking sucks! there's no parking!! Call the following number if you see anything similar. (888)700-9995 outside dining looked nice though! - 1 star for that!

The best food! Such a cute place. Everything I've tried in the menu has been delicious! I hope the open another location soon on the west side of town!

Love this place!!! Fresh, quality ingredients cooked super well. Staff is so friendly as well. My only sadness is they recently changed their bone broth - it used to be super clean and tasty and full of collagen. My skin would glow after. Now the broth is a yellow color, not as gelatinous, and very oily. It was so oily that the oil actually seeped through the entire takeout bowl. I have had to throw it away twice. Chef - if you are reading this, can you please change the bone broth back to its original quality / recipe?

We LOVE Leora. Everything is fresh, clean and delicious. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful. I love coming Sunday's for the best brunch. I love that the owners are always there with a big smile. I wish all restaurants hit all of these high points on a consistent basis. I have to get back to try their new dinner menu. Could not say more amazing things about this restaurant.

Leora Café is a gem! Their sourdough bread is absolutely the best, and the owners are incredibly kind. The food is consistently amazing, and their shakshuka is the only one I'll eat in Los Angeles. Highly recommend!
