Leenie’s Cafe Longmont

One of my favorite breakfast places. Their fried chicken is delicious and I also enjoyed their beignets. Our server was really friendly and quick. I would definitely recommend.

Love this place. Biscuits and gravy, yumm. Potatoes and eggs always cooked perfectly. Good service. Never did get the chance to eat at the original location but I sure am glad I know of this one. Definitely my favorite breakfast place!

Great food at reasonable prices. I have eaten here a dozen times. It can be a bit of a wait for Sunday brunch after church crowd. Great service. They also are open for dinner a couple nights of the week.

The service was fast and the refills came at a rate to where my glass was never empty! The food was great too. I ordered the meatloaf, which came with corn bread. After the meal, I had a couple of beignets, which were pretty addicting! All in all, I was pleased with both the service and the quality of the food. One odd thing, though, but not an issue with the restaurant at all, I had an experience similar to Christian B. I tried to find this restaurant on the Unilocal app in order to check in, and I couldn’t find it nearby me. I typed the name in, and found out that the restaurant was 0.3 miles away from me, while I was sitting at a table in the restaurant! Is there an atmospheric anomaly surrounding the area? Who knows! Wonderful restaurant, though!

We Love Leenie’s and go there often, usually for breakfast. The biscuits and the beignets are so good. I usually get eggs benedict no matter where we go for breakfast/​brunch and theirs is some of the best in longmont. I’m very happy to see leenies is working with easy eats now.

Stopped. In for lunch, fish and chips were the special so ordered them and a cup of coffee. The fish and chips came out and there was 2 small pieces you could have lost in a cavity, and a few fries on the side with a bowl of cold slaw. The fish was soft and dripping with oil. Discus ting and the bill was $ 12.26. Way over priced. Won’t go again

The food here was excellent. Hot, fresh and very plentiful. The service was fast considering how busy it was. The only thing is that when you are finished with your meal and want to pay, you have to stand in line and wait as the single cashier will ring you out. Another thing that I found odd, and this has nothing to do with the restaurant, but when I tried to check in on the Unilocal app, it kept saying that I was too far away, I know it wasnt my phone cause I tried to check in on a different phone and it did the same thing. Overall, if you want a good, hearty, filling meal thats kind on your wallet, eat here!

First time at this restaurant. I had the pecan waffle the waffle was topped with whip cream, bananas, apples, and also pecans with a side of syrup. This dish tasted great with oit syrup. The waffle was light and fluffy and cooked just right. The presentation of the waffle was almost to pretty to eat. It was a happening spot for breakfast. The ambiance was nice and colorful.

We were excited to try the new restaurant in town. Unfortunately, we were highly disappointed in Leenie’s Café. We ordered and waited a really long time for our food. We watched as the waitress brought other patrons their food. The portions seemed really large. When we got our food, it was as if they ran out of things and gave us what they could (small, small, small). An order of fries had exactly 15 french fries. Both plates of food were cold. We sent them back. We also wanted to try the creole soup. Asking for a cup of soup, she brought us a small bowl, which cost $ 4.25. It was quite tasty but way over priced. The service left a lot to be desired. Needless to say, my dog was happy because I brought home the food for her, as I felt it was nothing more than glorified dog food. We will not be returning to Leenies’ café.

Friendly service and cheap prices. Food is decent but nothing special. Biscuits are not nearly as good as lucilles. good if you want a $ 6 omlette and semi decent coffee. If you want real southern cooking and amazing coffee go to lucilles.

The worst breakfast ever! Both my husband’s and my hash browns and country fried potatoes were burned (I mean so burned they were black)! My hash browns were oil soaked and looked like they had been previously cooked and thrown back on the stovetop to burn. The hollandaise sauce tasted like it was made from a package mix, lacking the rich and creamy taste and texture it should have had. We had the Cinnamon streusel beignets and I’ve had better pastries from a Pillsbury Poppin Fresh can. My husband said the biscuits were tolerable if you put 5 pats of butter on them, I thought they were awful!

Do NOT go to this restaurant.
I’m serious. It’s our favorite Saturday morning (and sometimes Sunday’s too) haunt. And if YOU start going there, you’ll find out about the amazing coffee they grind and brew fresh, and the giant muffins that Scott makes every morning. You’ll discover the giant-​ass fluffiest biscuits you’ve ever had with homemade fruit compote… and the pancake sandwiches with extra sides of the gooey cinnamon syrup they make. You’ll learn that they use REAL ham, sliced thick and seared on the grill until it gets those mouthwatering carmelized spots… And the service! If YOU go there, the staff as just gonna treat you real nice, like they know you, and Leenie herself will stop by your table and refill that empty coffee cup that you can’t stop emptying cuz it’s the best damn coffee you’ve ever had… yah. Just don’t go there.
Cuz if YOU start going there, I’m gonna hafts wait for a table. Cuz you’ll tell your friends, and they’ll tell their mom, who will tell her ninja friends, and I won’t be able to walk in on Saturday morning, sit in Ashely’s section, and drink my awesome coffee in peace.

This place is one of the best in Longmont for a nice breakfast. I love their corned beef hash, with hashbrowns and gravy! And their service is some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Eat here, you won’t regret it.

I give Leenies a 2 because the meatloaf sandwich was awful according to my lunch partner and the biscuits and gravy I had were just good. I expected the meatloaf would be a few nice slices, but it was crumbled, and dry. The service was great and the prices were fair, try a specialty if you are going for the first time.

I went here for breakfast and it was nothing special; I’d give it a 2.5 if I could. I was hoping for more new Orleans’ style breakfast, but what I saw is what’s offered every where else: huevos rancheros, French toast, waffles. They did have beignets, but no chicory coffee! I ordered the pain perdu, which was southern style French toast, an egg, bacon and fruit. The French toast was good, but nothing special. The presentation wasn’t very great, either. Now, I will go back to try their lunch or dinner, but not for breakfast.

The service was friendly. The bathrooms were clean.
In a nutshell:
Better than Lucile’s? No.
Cheaper than Luciles’s? Yes.
Going there again? No.
I know! You’re hanging on to your seat waiting for more. So here goes… We had just spent almost 4 hours at the DMV to get a New Drivers License for my teen. It was my birthday. Still is, as I write this. We hadn’t eaten anything and were looking forward to a really great meal, one that was comparable, if not better, than Lucile’s and cheaper at that!
My review is based on the 4 things we ordered:
— The coffee was watery and pretty bad.
— The beignets (original) were thick and chewy. Not enjoyable.
— My shrimp creole was disappointing. Here is why: The mound of rice in the middle was partly uncooked. You know when you have that little uncooked «seed» in the middle? Like that. (Why don’t people know how to cook rice? It’s not rocket science!) The creole sauce was watery and near-​tasteless. The shrimp were not over-​cooked and that was the only reasonable things about that dish. The cornbread that came with it was warm and quite nice.
— My daughter’s eggs Benedict were not up to snuff either. The hollandaise sauce was runny and did not taste very good.
Of course, this review –like any other– is based on my experience and my taste buds. You have those who hate reviews on Unilocal cos what do Unilocalers know. I can only tell you how I feel. Just like how I would tell you how I felt about this restaurant if I wrote restaurant reviews on my food blog — which I don’t.
As we drove back to Boulder, both of us started feeling uncomfortable. I had gripes. We felt so bad that we actually took a detour home to help ease the discomfort, before heading to school and work. Yes.
Will I tell you never to eat there? No. But I can tell you that I won’t be going back. What I will also tell you is that if you do eat there, stick with traditional breakfast items instead of «southern comfort food.»

I’ve been to Leenie’s twice now and both times have had very friendly and efficient service, and both times really enjoyed my meal. Today, I had huevos rancheros and it was delicious. I especially loved the pork green chili and red beans. They were absolutely slammed today with the after-​church crowd, but everyone was friendly and I was surprised by how quick the service was, given how busy they were.

Wrong. No. Bad.
First red flag: no chicory coffee. What? Um, have you ever BEEN to New Orleans? Chicory coffee is not optional.
Service was impersonal, bordering on surly (and no, I don’t think we were unpleasant customers). You can get away with that if your food is GREAT, but that wasn’t the case. The place was nearly empty but for several tables of sad eyed, pasty Longmontians eating in silence and being all…“Longmonty.”
***shudder***
Beignets: Flavorless and tough. Dough needs salt. Not enough powdered sugar.
Food was bland, tepid, and did not taste like love, a key ingredient in creole cooking. I don’t love everything at Lucille’s, but there’s just enough love in it to compensate.
Well. There it is.

This was our second visit to Leenies, the first was to their other restaurant in Lafayette. This location is in a strip mall, so the atmosphere is not anywhere near as good.
The first thing to greet us were papers posted on the front and side of the establishment. These were very helpful indicating what you could expect, including the WiFi (more on that later). On entering, it appeared that owners were relaxing in the front, keeping an eye on things, and greeting patrons as they entered. They were friendly and relaxed; not pushy.
The place is quite large.
The food, on this occasion, was better than at the other location in one important way: it was not overly salty. Lots of older people eat at both locations, and salty food can kill the poor devils. We were relieved to have a lower-​sodium experience.
As with the other location, the grits were creamy and tasty. Not the way I’d cook them, but just fine. Note: lightly salted — don’t add more! Good grits are hard to find :)
My eggs ranchero were fine. My pardner had blackened red fish with egg. She liked it! She also liked the home-​made biscuits and jams. Not as good as Lucile’s but not quite as expensive either.
If you plan to use the WiFi, sit towards the back (the restrooms are all the way at the back), because the WiFi signal is stronger there, and it doesn’t make it all the way to the front of the store.

I have never left a negative reviews, but the food was that bad…
The restaurant was clean, the service was fine, the food was so horrible.
The biscuits and gravy tasted left over, down to the ice cold gravy.
The huevos rancheros had zero flavor and the beans were cold.
The potatoes (how can you mess up potatoes) tasted old… Not even ketchup made them edible.
The kids French toast was the only edible thing on the table.
As a southern girl, born in NOLA, I would have to say that it’s insulting to call this creole.
I am note sure how you would ever eat here over Garden Gate or Lucille’s.
