Café Leon, Driffield

First time at Cafe Leon in Driffield and very impressed. It's spacious and well lit with natural light due to large windows. Nice decor too, especially the tiled blue mosaic style floor, which reminds you of being on a Mediterranean sun terrace. I had a light lunch including home made coronation chicken sandwich and a coffee. All tasted freshly made from today and good sozed portion. Lots of different things on the menu warm and cold too. Recomend for a coffee or lunch. Good spot.

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.

This is going to be one of those reality check reviews. I work in the hospitality industry and the prices here are just plain crazy. Even working on the age old 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 formula charging sandwiches out at £6.90 plus £1.70 for a meagre portion of chips is just not economically fair on the consumer. There is no way the sandwiches cost you £2.30 to plate up - purely with the amount of filling offered. Where we sat our table was not clean neither the two next to us, there was food on the floor and on the seats too which we wiped away. Alot of staff walking around doing not alot. Basic things like dirty menus is just reprehensible (see photo) - my first visit to this establishment and I am really confused as to how you have the rating you do. Worse to come very poorly maintaned furniture I received a deep cut on my finger from the wobbly legs, replaced with another that was no different. Restrooms were dirty too paper and water/urine on the floor. In this day and age where everyone is competing for the same £ and you have to go the extra mile it appears the ownership have given up. Extremely disappointing......

The place is beautiful and the owner was very kind and friendly. Coffee and cake were delicious!

Superb food, service good. Lovely place for breakfast, lunch or just a snack.
