Leigh’s will officially open in January, after a soft launch in December
Like a lot of London neighbourhoods, De Beauvoir is no stranger to a nice cafe, but it’s always good to see a new addition. And it sounds like N1 locals are about to get a new go-to as Leigh’s – which is being billed as a seasonal cafe – will be launching on Ardleigh Road in the new year.
The concept is a first for co-founders Melanie and McKenzie, who met in restaurant marketing but both trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London and Paris, who are excited about returning to a back-of-house role. Leigh’s will be open from 7am with a breakfast menu of porridge and topped toast, then there’ll be toasties made with Pollaine bread, La Fromagerie cheese and Cobble Lane meats, plus soups like white bean and cavolo nero. There’ll also be cakes and bakes, like Guinness cake, date & oat slice and blood orange cake, available throughout the day alongside hot chocolate and speciality brews from Formative Coffee.
