I appreciate being able to order healthy food and feed my baby without feeling self-conscious. Leon fits the bill. Most have a step.free entrance including this branch. I sat, ate, fed my baba in comfort.

I went to this place last week, the food was great and so was the service. But my big compliment go to ( Vidarshi ) not sure that's how the name is spelled but I must say that she was really friendly and made us feel welcome. Not to mention that it was a really hot day and from my table I could see she offering cup of tap water to Deliveroo riders, it's really nice to see that still there are people out there that actually care about others. Definitely would come back.

I met a lovely lady named Swadhi, who was an absolute bombshell of a human! Was so kind and respectful:-) I have multiple sclerosis and find it hard to deal with certain situations and they helped me so much! Give them a raise!!!

We went back for a third time to have chai this week. Staff is very friendly and caring, and are willing to answer questions about the food. This is not the case at other Leon branches across the city, that’s why we came back. So I definitely recommend this place! It’s across Tate modern and there are enough seatings. The first time we ordered a halloumi breakfast muffin with chai. Second time was only chai and third time was last Monday. We ordered the halloumi breakfast muffin and chai again. My mom was not feeling well, I put her on a seat and in the meantime she fainted. The staff called the ambulance immediately, the girl behind the counter came with cold water, started rubbing my moms hand so she would stay warm and even offered us something else to drink. She offered us a refund too, for the food and drinks we had not consumed. After the ambulance came they did some tests in the van. After 1,5 hours we returned and two guys at the counter immediately asked how my mom was feeling and if she was okay. They offered us a refund again, but as it was almost noon and we hadn’t eaten anything for breakfast we ordered some food. We should have paid a extra but didn’t have to. The fact that they helped us while my mom wasn’t feeling well, immediately took action, and the caring nature of the staff is truly analyzing! I do recommend the chai with coconut milk, the halloumi breakfast muffin, the halloumi wrap and the baji wrap. They had a great breakfast deal, and overall it is not that expensive.

They went so far above and beyond here to help us. Swati and Adarthi really helped us make our dinner perfect. We were so impressed with their service. Wow

Delicious food, fresh, and reasonably priced for a meal deal! The staff are lovely and friendly. It does take a little longer as everything is being made fresh but you can order ahead on the app to help with this!

A Gem at Bankside – Leon Coffee and Food Absolutely love this place! Leon at Bankside is consistently excellent, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to spots. The staff here are genuinely warm, attentive, and always serve with a smile — you really feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re after a healthy breakfast, a quick lunch, or just a really good coffee, they deliver every time. The coffee is smooth and perfectly brewed — no bitter aftertaste, just pure quality. It’s clear the team takes pride in what they do, and it makes a huge difference. Big kudos to the staff for creating such a friendly and efficient atmosphere — it’s a breath of fresh air in a busy area. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the Bankside area. Great vibes, great people, and great food. What more could you want?
