We wanted to stop at a pub for lunch but none of the pubs seemed to be serving food, someone suggested that we try cafe Leon. The food seemed quite overpriced £9.90 for jacket potato with beans and cheese: the potato wasn’t even crispy on the outside. The flatbread with steak and onion was £11: it was tasty but quite small. I wouldn’t go back. The staff were nice though, and the place is dog friendly.

What a lovely little cafe, Food was delicious and price was great value. I’m very shocked to see some unpleasant reviews, the staff were great and very polite, they were all very well trained. Tables were cleaned and tidied as soon as people left, food was hot and fresh. Would definitely come back if in the area, Will also recommend. Keep up the good work. It’s hard to find a lovely little cafe like this these days.

Visited this cafe today as previous cafe visited last month in Driffield was closed today for some renovation. 2 young ladies seen, one was serving and the other in the kitchen area that could just be seen. She gave a nice smile as she looked out. Service was quick with tea and food received within 5 minutes of ordering. Waitress was pleasant and efficient. I had a BLT sandwich with coleslaw and salad. Excellent quality of food and very tasty. My only disappointment was I thought the tea could have been in a larger cup as it seemed quite small compared to other cafes I have visited over the years. I have to visit Driffield monthly on business in future months and will certainly pay this cafe a visit on a regular basis for breakfast now I know its location.

We were looking for somewhere to have coffee and spotted Cafe Leon across the street. The entrance looked tiny but we realised it was simply the way into a staircase upto the cafe on the first floor. On a miserable Wednesday lunchtime the cafe was buzzing and many tables were full or already reserved. Clientele was across the ages from families with very young children to pensioners. It is also dog friendly. There was a good selection of food on the menu, together with a specials board. Drinks were priced as expected but we thought the food was rather overpriced. I asked about gluten free options and was shown the cakes listed as gluten free but none were labelled as such. All cakes were clingfilmed whether gf or not. Unless there was a lift which we missed there is no disabled access. I liked the decor and the staff were polite and professional.

A lovely tasteful place for a coffee or snack. I think of it as a "Betty's for Driffield". Reasonable prices pleasant staff. I've not eaten here but the food looks good.
