What People Are Saying
from Google"Historical building with lots of character in downtown Laurel. Variety menu with breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Menu is vegan friendly. Plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs with open seating and small books tucked away. There is a cabinet full of board games to meet up and play with friends. Art display with a mix of new art and historical photos of the town. Great mix with good vibes. Food is great, coffees, lattes and more. If you are visitor to the city, it's a great stop while visiting the Laurel area. If you are local, it's a neat place to meet with friends."
"Lees is located within the historical Sears Building with bits of elements remaining. Food, service and hospitality wonderful."
"From 2015 to 2019 I had lunch at Lee's once sometimes twice a week. I recently went back and the food and the service was disappointing. I switched up and ordered hummus. It was watery and not smooth. Some of the bread was soggy, some was crunchy, some tasted stale. And it was such a small amount for $10. I was disappointed. I should've stuck to what I know. The service makes me not want to go back, not even for coffee. They have some of the best coffee, when prepared properly, since small coffee left town."
"We stopped in at Lee's Coffee &Tea for lunch while visiting Laurel. We were warmly greeted by a staff member who answered our questions and took our order. My wife and I had chicken salad sandwich and a cup of loaded potato soup. The sandwich contained classic chicken salad, featuring red grapes and a hint of pepper, served inside a flakey croissant. It was very tasty. The soup was very hearty with lots of big chunks of potatoes in a comforting broth. It was very potato-forward, so it may not please those preferring a brothier soup. The soup was topped with bacon and cheddar cheese. It was the perfect accompaniment to our sandwich. The iced tea was crisp, clean and delicious. I completed the meal with a cup of coffee that was smooth and satisfying. The atmosphere is very comfortable with plenty of seating areas upstairs and downstairs. The bathrooms were well stocked and clean. If you are looking for a nice spot to enjoy an unrushed lunch in Laurel, this place fits the bill!"
"Had the opportunity to visit here while my friends and I were in town. We went for brunch. I got an omelette with a blended coffee drink and also had their bread pudding a little bit later in the day. All were absolutely delicious. The staff were some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. There is plenty of seating with an upstairs area available and they’ve got a game cabinet if you’re looking to play a board/card game. Was a great experience and I definitely recommend a stop in here if you’re close by!"
