Café Dear Leon
7.1Locals Score / 10#3 of 20 Cafés & Coffee in Baltimore
Known forCrab dip bagelGuava & cheese pain suisseYuzu BriocheCrème Brûlée tart
A tiny, expertly-run bakery and café in Canton where everything is made in-house daily—pastries, sandwiches, coffee with house-made syrups, and creative seasonal items. Get the crab dip bagel, croissants, or whatever pastry catches your eye; a trained pastry chef reviewer called them among the best she's had in years. Fair warning: it only seats 6 people plus one dog inside, so expect a 20–30 minute wait on nice days.
