If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Naples, a stop at Leopoldo Cafebar is an absolute must! Nestled at Via Benedetto Croce, 30/31, this enchanting café and pastry shop invites visitors to indulge in a symphony of flavors that reflect the heart and soul of Italian culinary traditions.

Leopoldo Cafebar is a sweet haven where food isn't just made; it's crafted with passion. The menu boasts an array of delightful offerings, from Babbasoni—think rich, creamy layers of Nutella paired with soft sponge cake—to traditional favorites that will have you swooning. Customers rave about the Babbasone Crema Di Latte E Fragoline (€4.30), a divine rum-soaked dessert that combines rich cream and juicy strawberries for an unforgettable taste experience. As one enthusiastic reviewer, Emre K., put it: "Absolutely divine... beautifully balanced with hints of lemon and orange."

For those craving something more classic, don’t miss out on their array of pastries. The fluffy pistachio croissant—described as "delicate and packed with cream" by local patrons—is a must-try. Each bite melts in your mouth, providing a warm and comforting sensation that embodies the essence of Italian baking. And if you're in the mood for a refreshing treat, the gelato selection offers an impressive variety, though some guests have noted mixed experiences with service.

The atmosphere at Leopoldo is equally inviting, with its quaint interiors providing a charming backdrop for enjoying your sweet selections. While the hustle and bustle of the city can make for a busy environment, a visit here is well worth the wait, as you indulge in a moment of bliss with pastries or gelato amidst friendly, if occasionally harried, staff. Just be prepared for a slower service pace if you opt to enjoy your treats in-house.

Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in for a leisurely coffee break complemented by a slice of traditional Tiramisù (€16.00) or a seasonal Colomba (€39.00), Leopoldo Cafebar embodies the spirit of Italian café culture—a gathering spot where every treat becomes a cherished memory. Revel in the flavors, soak up the ambiance, and become part of the Napoli culinary story. Your taste buds will thank you!

5 stars If you're in Naples, you must stop by Leopoldo! I tried their classic rum-soaked dessert served in a cup with layers of soft sponge, rich cream, and juicy strawberries – absolutely divine. The dessert was beautifully balanced with hints of lemon and orange, adding a fresh citrusy twist to the sweet, boozy flavor. I also tried a soft pastry filled with creamy custard – warm, comforting, and not overly sweet. Everything was incredibly fresh and satisfying. Perfect for enjoying while sitting on the old stone streets. Highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth looking to taste authentic Neapolitan treats!

Gelato was really good and well priced. Good choice of flavours. Girl behind the counter was very rude though. Didn’t communicate at all. Didn’t even look at me. Just took money and dropped change on counter. Shame cause gelato was great.

Delicious espresso, huge choice of freshly baked pastries. I had pistachio croissant and it was delicate, and packed with cream. Highly recommend

I enjoyed what I got. It was a tasty lemon bread pastry with cream inside and out. The service wasn’t great only because of one lady. The lady was clearly fed up with being there. She was wrapping our items with her back to us and slapped on the sticker, missing 3 times because of how angrily she tried putting it on. Besides that the place is good lol.

A cute stop for a quick espresso with plenty of sweet treats to complement your coffee break. There’s a large selection of gelato flavours and lots of traditional Italian pastries and cakes by the slice.

Beautiful small place with really good and tasty pastries, gelato and drinks. Reasonably priced. We've been at two locations. One is on pedestrian street in old town. There are different varieties of local pastries. Usually crowded. Staff is friendly but if you decided to sit down and have your pastries or drinks in a cafe expect that service will be slow. Still a nice place to check out. Try some chilled pastries, - look simple, taste delicious!
