Lebkov & Sons Leiden in Boerhaavedistrict

Good coffee and sourdough bread, cozy spot in Leiden and friendly staff

Always the best hazelnut flat white and delicious sweet treats!

Coffee takes so long. I've already had to wait more than 10 minutes a few times and missed my train.

The juices and coffee here is great!

Delicious sandwiches, freshly made coffees, and nice large coffees to order

I truly love this family owned business! My boyfriend and I buy their beans for our espresso machine! Their açaí bowl is a hieren gem!

Very easy going early in the morning and they went out of their way to make breakfast

Nice spot to grab coffee with good sandwiches!! They have Calf Love milk!

Relaxed spot to grab a nice cup of coffee or just to sit down. You can get all kinds of coffee here. Delicious!

Tasty, lots of fresh ingredients, and friendly service. It is a bit on the pricey side, though.

With the warm weather, I ordered 2 lemonades. I received a metal cup (are there no clean glasses available anymore?) half full of ice cubes, (tap?) water with a splash of lemon. 10.00. Are you kidding me? For that price, I expected freshly squeezed lime juice in a large glass, not a deciliter of tap water, a drop of lemon juice on an ice cube in a cup.

Nice little place next to the station and good coffee

Very nice, fast, and friendly service. Delicious coffee!

Have always loved their coffee and now that we have an espresso machine ourselves we buy their beans to re-create this wonderful coffee moment at home.

Super friendly, nice tables in the sun, and good coffee.

Delicious food and very good coffee!

It smells incredible when you walk in. The juices look and taste great!

Fantastic coffee, tasty sandwiches and cookies

Too expensive for what you eat. Small portion but good quality.

Good coffee, everything homemade and fresh! And a nice location.

Nice place, it seems like people gather here to work, there is wifi, there are sockets at every table, many people with laptops. Interesting interior and not intrusive design, the kitchen is located almost in the center, so when you finish eating you can put the dishes on the porch near you and the employees will take it away - it is convenient and adds points to the atmosphere. Quite noisy, I can't imagine how all these people can work here. The coffee is good, the tea latte is spicy and creamy, I also took a sandwich with cheese and ham here - very salty, after one bite you immediately want to drink water. There are places inside and outside

Tasty iced latte and good service!

Healthy and nice place for takeaway and dine in next to the station

A bit of more music would be nice sometimes but for the rest everything good

Natural and cool vibe place :) would come again!

It's one of the best cafés we visited in the Netherlands. We came from Germany and were starving after several hours of driving. So we decided to eat here. The service was friendly, the atmosphere calm and pleasant, and the food was delicious and prepared with care. The pastries were especially wonderful, as were the drinks. It was so good that we came back again the next day! Tip: Don't miss this place if you're visiting the city.

The staff is always friendly. Good atmosphere. I come here regularly. The cappuccino is delicious!!!

Delicious coffee. Tasty sweets and sandwiches. Highly recommended.

Great service and really cost environment

Amazing atmosphere and service. Everyone is really nice!

nice smell from outside of the kitchen and relaxing atmosphere

I really enjoyed the iced coffee! Everyone is super friendly.

The coffee was very tasty and the staff very friendly!

Always friendly staff who have my coffee ready within a few minutes. Never missed a train! And the food is a delicious snack to go with it.

The service was super friendly & attentive! Will definitely be coming back to study or just grab a coffee

Great food, and service with care :)

Look how thin is this slice of cake. €3,95 Euro. Just Ridiculous!

Great food and friendly staff, but uncomfortable seats

Nice spot for a coffee and delicious cookies. Lots of people working here for a bit too. Being able to sit outside in the sunshine while you wait is ideal!

Nice and healthy place! I really recommend 😊

Really delicious coffee!!! When it's busy, it sometimes takes a long time.

A great place and very pleasant

Ideal place to have a coffee or any dessert.

it seems so nice and everything super tasty!!

The service is lovely and the value for money is very good.

very cozy place and great meals. convenient as it is next to the station!

It's a trash, toasted bread for 10 euro !dirty

Great coffee shop next to the train station. The almond croissant was delicious!

Delicious coffee and sandwiches!

Very expensive for a cup of coffee And they are very slow

UPDATE: Eventually resolved properly by Lebkov. My previous experience was disappointing because my lactose-free coffee was prepared with regular milk after all, causing me to experience symptoms. Additionally, it took longer than expected for the refund to be processed, which caused extra frustration. However, this has now been resolved properly by Lebkov. The amount has been refunded and an additional compensation has been offered in the form of a coffee and a sandwich. It is good that it was finally taken seriously and handled correctly. Thank you for the fair solution.

Nice place to start the day! Really good service and coffee :)

Great for a healthy lunch and tasty coffee!

Nice place with delicious coffee! Highly recommended.

Just good coffee. Lemon poppyseed cake is delicious! As is the carrot cake (: CK what a super waitress!

Nice place, delicious coffee and snacks❤️

It's my-go-to place when I want me-time, reading, working on my laptop.

The coffee is the best in Leiden

Lovely place to study! Super healthy and fresh food in a gezellig location 💞 will be back soon!

Lebkov isn't Lebkov anymore.....a very long wait to be served....service not really friendly...

You can get good coffee here, but the sandwiches are terrible. We paid €30 for two sandwiches that were soggy and tasteless. That €30 went in the bin. We won't be doing that again...

I lost the bus because the girl took 10 minutes to make an espresso

What a terrible pea soup! It was served ice cold, I had to ask for it to be heated up, and it was brought back without a word, and it was just a tiny, ultra-simple soup for 6.50. What a disappointment when you need to recover after a tough hospital stay.

A somewhat larger order for more than one person seems like a huge undertaking here, and a little service is too much to ask. This is easily solved with customer service training, but the price-quality ratio (although there are certainly some tasty things for sale) is unfortunately also completely out of proportion. It's high time to improve this sandwich shop. With a smile and a little extra effort here and there, you can quickly go a long way. How simple can it be? It's going downhill now!

One of the best hot chocolates I've ever had! The prices are a bit higher, but the quality is top-notch and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Highly recommended.

Delicious sandwiches and granola. Great coffee: large mugs!

I know Lebkov & Sons in Leiden for years, but unfortunately my recent visits have been disappointing. Over my last three visits, I’ve noticed a clear drop in quality while prices have continued to rise. My last visit summed it up: a chai latte and an egg/avocado sandwich for €14.20, yet both were mehhh. Drinks that used to be a delight.. matcha latte, chai, and even the fresh lemonades and teas, now taste insipid and bland, nowhere near the level they were years ago. I’m not sure if this is a cost-cutting trend, poor trained/unexperienced staff?? or just bad luck at this location, but it’s enough for me to move on. Time for something new, real chai, and better matcha :)

As others say this shop is very overpriced for the slow service and small portions. But the reason for my 1 star is because of the service. We ordered a medium mocha and a medium cappuccino, which should’ve come to €10.70 according to their board, however the server charged us €11.90!! When we looked at the receipt it seems she had charged us for a ‘hot chocolate with extra espresso’, even though a mocha exists on their menu. We asked for the extra money back, and were told it was not their policy to do chargebacks even though they admitted they were the ones who made the mistake?? We were then told it would be corrected in their system at the end of the day, but it’s now been over 24h and no money has been returned back to me. I know it’s only a very small amount, but it’s the principle. Will absolutely not be going here again. At least their coffees had lovely latte art. Saw the reply from the cafe - I am absolutely aware what constitutes a mocha, I have ordered it from there (and other spots) before :))) one of ur staff also looked at the bill when we raised it and agreed that was where the mistake had come from btw ! but unfortunately you did not make it right and refund me at the time, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this review over ✨€1.20✨ maybe u should spend more time training up ur staff so they are more confident on the tills instead of patronising people on reviews hahaha. our girl was initially not aware you even sold a mocha, someone else working had to correct her. she also initially put our order through wrong as just a hot chocolate as she couldn’t find the mocha button on the till, and thus had to put the transaction through again as she had initially undercharged us (and yet she still somehow got it wrong lol). Is it really true that you can’t refund people on the spot for an overcharge, or did you just say it to get rid of us as you thought we wouldn’t make a fuss over such a small amount of money? xx

Insanely slow. Inefficient, even when it wasn't really busy, I had to wait more than 10 minutes twice, and then I simply didn't get my coffee because my train was leaving.

You can get the tastiest flat white (for the train) here! A fresh slice of banana bread on the side, and my journey gets off to a perfect start!

Lovely sandwich shop; good coffee and the salmon sandwich is highly recommended!

Never again!! I come every morning for banana bread, chocolate rolls, and coffee. But today is the last time. There's a woman there who can't help customers properly. She cuts the banana bread incorrectly without gloves, and it's not the first time. She throws the stuff at me and my coffee in a To-Go cup, even though I told her twice that I didn't want a cartoon cup. Yet she still puts the coffee down and says she doesn't have a double espresso cup!

Ordered a latte and a tuna melt sandwich after parking outside. A few years ago I had this habit that if I ever dropped someone off at the station I’d treat myself to breakfast to go. Normally they’d be able to get it done well before the 10 minute parking timer runs out. This time, after 20 minutes I asked how much longer the sandwich is going to take… Turns out all 4 of them simply forgot about it. I had to leave immediately as I saw a few cops on bikes just outside the station, and I didn’t want to risk getting breakfast for 14eu + a 75eu fine. Just hope they didn’t write me up otherwise I’d have paid 90 for a latte. For what it’s worth… The coffee was fine, but don’t visit this place if you’re in a rush

I have been coming here for a long time, but this location has gone downhill. The iced lattes are always filled with chunky milk and the employees are rude. Today, one placed a cappuccino on the counter for someone to grab and she then called the order a few times. Got mad that no one came and claimed it right away and proceeded to to say “okay anyone can take it.” As someone who works in the horeca industry, this is unacceptable behavior and I have never experienced customer service like this at other Lebkov locations.

I’m disappointed with the sandwich they make as well. I can agree with Jayesh's comment earlier. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was not good. Bread not toasted and the whole sandwich was dry. Chicken sausage from supermarket and a sour sauce. Carrot soup ok, but cold. Two items 15,45€. Not again, thx.

I was really looking forward to Lebkov's iced matcha latte, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. The flavor wasn't quite balanced and came out a bit flat.

I’m disappointed with the sandwich they make. Ordered chicken hot sandwich toast and it was disaster no vegetables and used chicken sausage from lidl and a sirachi sauce after one bite I returned at the counter Guys please don’t sell what you can’t make Take training or lessons of culinary Please stop it immediately It’s insanely bad

Used to be a nice, friendly place. Now it's not so clean inside, and the iced coffee is really bad. Service? Figure it out yourself.

€4.95 for a small decaf cappuccino!! No cookie. And not particularly tasty or frothy. At the best competitor in Leiden, you pay €3.95 and it's served with a homemade cookie, a bowl of chocolate beans, and a small glass of water.

I can describe myself as a critical person when it comes to food and breakfast. By the way, I discovered "Lebkov & Sons" via the Thuisbezorgd website. As for the delivery costs, it is striking, 4.99 euros Leiden CS <=> Katwijk. On top of that, there is also a nonsense "Service Fee" of max 1.99 euros. Home delivery will never work for these costs. When I was recently in "Leiden Centraal" I walked in but at that moment not everything was in stock. By the way, warm meals are higher on my list of preferences.

Price/quality skew here! A dry sandwich for ten bucks that you can get better somewhere else and a disappointing coffee. A nice sunny terrace though.

You're better off with a sandwich from the ah. You pay top price for a dry sandwich. When you go, order a glass of milk so you can take it away!

Chai latte very watery and little taste. New one requested for that reason, same story. And that for €4.50 (a small one!). Was the last time

Fine to pay for good coffee, but for the small cup/cup you get it is out of proportion. Lady behind the counter has never learned to say please or thank you and just puts the orders down. Then it is up to the customers to find out what is for whom. The terrace and layout of the business is nice and you can sit in the sun.

Don’t get your coffee over Here. Terrible service. The girls are not paying attention. They give you the wrong order. When the customer is trying to communicate.. they pretend they can’t hear you. Next time I will record this and upload it ;)

I had a cappuccino and a sandwich, while my friend had a banana cookie and a hot chocolate. Both of our drinks did not meet the so-called café standard. The hot chocolate quantity was small, and the sandwich was bland.

Unfortunately, some employees serve excessively small portions of the Banana bread and Lemon cake. Comments about this are met with an unpleasant response. As a daily customer I find this disappointing. Excellent quality, but the service and portion size really need to improve.​​​​​​​

"As a regular customer who visits this business every day, I appreciate the delicious coffee and tasty food. Their Banana bread and Lemon cake are especially favorites. What is disappointing, however, is that some staff serve overly small portions of pastries - sometimes you really do get far too thin a slice for your money. Unfortunately, when asked about this, the response was unpleasant. As a loyal customer, I think this is a shame, because the quality of the products themselves are excellent. Positive points: - Excellent coffee - Tasty food and pastries - Nice location Improvement points: - The portion size is really too small for some employees - More customer-friendly response to feedback desired - More consistency in portions needed

A year ago I left a five star review for this place, because the coffee tasted great. Now its down to two stars, the foam on the milk was much too thick and the coffee tasted dry, bitter and a burnt. The ginger cookie still tasted good but not as good as it once was. Kitchen didn't look very tidy. I would have given three stars, if it weren't for the high prices they charge.

Poor in almoat every sense, serving, uncomfy chairs ... definitely a wrong choice for working or anything like that.

Picked up such a meager sandwich that I feel like I've been ripped off. €9.50 for spicy chicken sandwich. In other words, 2 slices of casino bread, a little cheese and a slice of chicken fillet. Had very different expectations. It is not without reason that the toasted sandwiches and sandwiches come in a sealed bag, so you don't know what you are buying. Get your lunch somewhere else!

It was a great cafe but very crowded in the weekend.

Ordered 2 coffees. Got a latte while I think I ordered a flat white. According to the young lady, I really ordered a latte. Fine, but I don't drink that. She paid for it and immediately threw it away while she was watching and apparently she was okay with that. Service could be better and prices are Swiss.

Coffee not well prepared and service incredibly bad. Takes 8 minutes to prepare a coffee; I made a remark and they replied with rage saying it's peak hour - take some ownership. You have multiple people working there at a time.

Unfortunately not what it used to be. Coffee is tasty, but very expensive (13.20 for a Latte and a simple sandwich), almost always a long wait. The sandwich had been in the refrigerator for a while, cold and soggy (like the pre-packed sandwiches at a gas station). Shame!

Scanty food consisting of plain bread with a small amount of toppings in the sandwich maker. Unfortunately we were unable to put the cheese on the sandwich, so we had to wait another 10 minutes for a simple sandwich. Coffee much too hot, a lot hotter than the lukewarm soup served.

Seriously........don't dare ask for €8.50 for a sandwich!

Bought lunch here yesterday, lots of people that seemed good sign. Ordered three sandwiches, with three medium coffee and one water. Because sandwiches are packaged opaquely, you can't see what you're buying, but everything sounded promising on the menu. What a disappointment and that for 44 euros! Sandwiches extremely dry, little filling on just average bread. So dry that the three of us only ate stuffing and bread in the trash. Nice coffee, yes.

I only had coffee, strong and very good. Payment by card only. Pleasant environment.

Lebkov's sandwiches were always delicious. But what a letdown, they only use very soggy bread and also charge a hefty price. What a pity that is!
