WOW! LOVE this place!!!! Such a gorgeous clean space! Beautiful natural lighting. You can sit by the window and look towards the river. So many birds flying over the river. Love the natural wood and white plus grey decor. The space gives one a buoyant feeling.I ordered a 12oz Oatmilk vanilla latte. The regular amount of vanilla (1oz), was too sweet for me. Next time I will ask for half sweet. In addition, I chose the home made cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting. My latte and cinnamon roll cost $10.93 for both. This is average cost for these items in Lawrence. They offer a water station, too, which is wonderful for keeping hydrated while you caffeinate yourself. They offer cookies, cupcakes and macarons. Flavors of cookies vary with a few sounding super interesting: white chocolate & raspberry plus a Mexican chocolate.So much love has been put into the details here! I HIGHLY recommend making a visit here! I lived in NYC for over 19 years and this is a New York quality kind of place!Thank you, Cleo & Leo! Can't wait to sit outside on the patio when the weather is warm.

Cute and quaint Mexican women owned bakery that is perfectly location by the river and near downtown. One of the best coffee places in town with friendly staff and quick service. Awesome place to hang out or study! I love the rotating concha flavors and sweet treats. Today, they had a sign up front to try their burritos and it worked because we tried their western burrito! This burrito had peppers, onions, eggs, cheese and was so so tasty especially with the salsa verde.

I went to Cleo & Leo today for the first time and absolutely loved it! The outside and inside of the shop is so cute and very clean. I ordered an iced coffee and there were so many syrup flavor options which not a lot of coffee shops in Lawrence offer. My drink was delicious and HUGE. I stayed and talked with a friend for a while and loved the atmosphere. The staff were so kind and welcoming. This will definitely be my new favorite spot in Lawrence for coffee, it's one of a kind!

Sweet community hub. Highest quality foods and drinks with nice service in a modern, clean, but welcoming cafe with plenty ioutdoor seating to bird watch next to the river. Must-try items include: macaroons, pecan sticky buns, cortados, and conchas. Breakfast and heartier foods sometimes served as specials on the weekends.

I LOVE supporting small businesses around the Kansas City area and was really excited to check out Cleo and Leo on Elm Street after seeing an Instagram ad upon my entry into Lawrence. We arrived and it was pretty packed so I took it as a pretty good sign. I was pretty tired upon ordering and attempted to order some thing that wasn't on the menu still, but I guess at a coffee shop you see a lot of tired clientele. The woman at the cashier was consistently a short with us, and I don't think that I could've been more nice or done anything to make her feel this way. I understand that everyone has bad days, but after ordering, when I went up to pick up my order, I stood for a solid two minutes, waiting for my extra sauces that I had pre-paid for, I was met with a couple glares before being asked, "what do you want?" I just wanted my sauces that I had paid a dollar for. It didn't leave the best impression on me. My Horchata latte was pretty lovely, but I wish that we could've had a kinder experiance here as I was really excited to support.
