Café Léa

About

Café Léa is a popular and warm bistro located in the heart of the 5th arrondissement, at the bottom of rue Mouffetard. With its slightly outdated interior featuring orange, yellow, and mauve walls, it embodies the authentic spirit of small Parisian cafés. An intergenerational meeting place, you'll find studious students, professors grading papers, and regulars reading newspapers. The café offers a simple yet careful service, serving espresso on a silver tray with speculoos cookies. Open from 8:30 am to 2 am, it becomes particularly lively during meal times, offering a friendly daily special. Its large bay window illuminates the space and allows enjoying the street's atmosphere.
