Léa French Cafe

I think the food here is terrific: really really yummy bread and good sandwiches. However the ordering process is a bit chaotic and there is a lot of waste in the way they package everything no matter if you're eating in or out.

Croissant and coffee were good. But without any dining service like plates, utensils, waiters, etc. it cost me 20 dollars what is overly expensive for this type of service. I see on pictures that service was better before. It is inexcusable when business is using COVID as reason to decrease service level and at the same time raise prices.

This one is in downtown Chicago and the place is filthy dirty, patrons are “cleaning” tables and chairs with paper napkins while workers behind the counters watch. The amount of plastic and waste is appalling. I dislike the computer ordering station which precludes any actual human interaction. The food is satisfactory at best and would be better with actual plates and cutlery. Embarrassing.
