ABOUT US

Café Dear Leon is a close-knit, family-focused operation that was founded by Cheolsoo Lee, Sungae Lee, and Min Kim. We treat the Café as an extension of our family. The “Leon” in Café Dear Leon’s title comes from the name of Min Kim’s first child. Like writing a letter to a beloved child, the bakery itself is an endearing message to the Café’s guests, and our own way of expressing love. Through exceptional service, warm hospitality and quality products, we strive to serve heartwarming and memorable moments to our guests.

Café Dear Leon’s mission is to create a unique and intimate place for the Canton community, and to serve our guests with wonderful and delicious products. We celebrate the artisanal and romantic essence of French boulangerie using classical techniques and seasonal ingredients, but also innovate and reinvent with the inspiration from our own roots.
