Thank you, everyone, for your lovely messages about my beautiful Daisy. ❤️🐾

Losing her has left such a huge gap in my life, and it’s been incredibly difficult. Reading your kind words and knowing how much she was loved has brought me so much comfort.

I appreciate every single one of you who has taken the time to send a message or share a memory of her. It means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

The first bowls of our new winter soup are ready! 🍅

Tuscan beans, San Marzano tomatoes, red pepper and orzo pasta make this a warming lunch for the colder days ahead.

And keep your eyes peeled for our creamy pumpkin soup, coming soon. It’s equally delicious! 🎃

This is so hard to write. Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to my beautiful Daisy.

Daisy had been unwell, and things became serious on Saturday evening. She passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, in my arms.

She brought so much joy and happiness to my life. I’m heartbroken to be without her.

Daisy brought joy to everyone at Leila’s: our staff, our customers, and even the delivery drivers. Some of the children came in especially to see her. I want you all to know that she loved you back very much 💖

The café won’t feel the same without her. We’ll all miss her so much. Thank you for loving my beautiful girl. 🐾💔

🎶 Sometimes breakfast at Leila’s just takes my breath away…

Usually because I’ve tried to eat the whole thing without stopping for air. 😂🍳☕️

Our new lunch menu launches on Tuesday , and we can’t wait to share it with you! 🇮🇹

We’ve added lighter bites for days when you fancy something smaller, alongside a few of your favourite breakfast dishes. And yes, the English Italian has made it onto the lunch menu! 🍳

Some dishes can also be adapted for vegan or gluten-free diets. Just speak to our team when you order. 🌱

We hope you enjoy the new menu and look forward to welcoming you to Leila’s soon. 💖
