Warm, delightful, absolutely delicious, and that’s not just about the coffee! Feels like you’ve been invited into an authentic Italian home, where you’re treated like family, served incredible food (cornetti & focaccia sandwhiches) and amazing coffee - even for the non milk drinkers like myself! The hot chocolate is exceptional, and ‘Mama Turilli’s’ apple cake is a dream. Have been many times and will be back many more!

Unfortunately this place seems more Instagram hype than a decent cafe meal. The service wasn't great... the waiters tried to assist when asked but never approached of their own accord. While it's self order spot... the owners walk past frequently and don't ask if you're even aware it's self order - which we didn't know; helpful advice isn't hard to give to your patrons. The food was not great - average tart which wasn't great - hard and not too tasty ; overpriced cannolli that was soggy and mediocre coffee. Price per person R 250–300 Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Amazing coffee and food You can feel the quality and attention to details. Was there on Saturday when 3 rude clients set there (can recognize their reviews here). Clients were asked not to pre pay, demanded to do so while waiting for fresh sandwiches to arrive, we’re offered to get their money back, refused and then behaved uncivilized, loud, disrespectful both to the service providers and to us as the other clients . Definitely going to come back for their amazing mozzarella sandwiches and incredible hot chocolate! Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person R 50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The pistachio cornetti was delicious, not too sweet and generous filing. Panino also good (aubergine and beef). If you are not a fan of ham, options are limited. Drinks: the hot chocolate is served in a silver champagne style goblet. Presents beautifully but I had an odd metallic taste. Cappuccino comes in 125ml. I’m not a coffee drinker but the person I was with was not impressed. Guess it takes getting use to if you are use to a larger serving size🤷‍♀️ Space is small, seating limited. Staff were lovely and service good. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person R 100–150 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Fuuck, I bought a cornetti from Lelos, the pistachio one. Then I stuffed it into my smelly biker jacket pocket, then rode home, then left it on the counter all day. I've just got home again and I threw it in the airfryer for five minutes. It tasted AMAZING! Hands down, the best croissant experience I've had in Cape Town for years 👌🏼 Such a great family who runs it, well worth a visit!

Jarring morning at Lellos. Valid complaints from paying customers met with an aggressive and defensive owner “this is our house, leave!” Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
