Cafe LeLe — Restaurant in Colquitt

Howdy, folks! Dad here, reporting live from the heart of Colquitt, Georgia, where the sweet tea flows like dad jokes at a family reunion! Let me tell ya, Café Lele isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a dad-tastic experience that’ll make your taste buds do the cha-cha slide!

Walking into Café Lele is like stepping into your grandma’s kitchen—if your grandma had a flair for Southern charm with a side of “fancy-ish” napkins. The walls are decked out in cozy, small-town vibes, and the staff greets you like you’re their long-lost cousin twice removed. I half-expected someone to offer me a recliner and a remote!

The Food, Holy smokes, y’all! The menu’s got more flavor than my attempt at grilling (“charcoal briquettes are just pre-seasoning,” I always say). I ordered the Fried Green Tomato Stack—crispy, tangy, and stacked higher than my laundry pile on a lazy Sunday. The Shrimp & Grits? Creamier than my rendition of “Sweet Caroline” in the shower! And don’t get me started on the Pecan Pie—it’s so good, I considered adopting it.

The portions were bigger than my pride after fixing the Wi-Fi without calling tech support. The staff here is friendlier than a golden retriever at a BBQ. Our server, bless her heart, laughed at my joke about the “egg-citing” omelet options. It's worth every penny—unlike that “As Seen on TV” salsa maker I bought last summer.

If you’re in Colquitt, skip the gas station jerky and mosey on down to Café Lele. Just save room for dessert—unlike my golf swing, this place never misses the sweet spot!

Signing off with a fist bump and a dad joke: Why did the chef quit Café Lele? …Because he couldn’t cut the mustard! (Ba-dum-tss!)

What a gem in a small town setting! The owner visited amoung the patrons and welcomed us as we came in. The staff was very friendly. The menu is plentiful, the prices reasonable, the food was fantastic and the restaurant was clean. They have a daily special in addition to the full menu. I don't recall seeing any breakfast items but lunch and dinner options were great. They close at 5 so plan an early dinner. Plenty of seating space inside and out. Order and pay at the counter then they deliver the food to your table. There are coolers with grab and go items if you are in a hurry. This is definitely a spot...

Yummm is all I can say! Stopped in on our way to Destin and came along this cute little town and found this little hidden gem! Double shot Latte, a cold, dirty chai tea latte & chicken salad on a croissant with the bacon ranch pasta salad. Sat outside at a dining table that took me back to my grandmothers house and enjoyed talking to a local man who came over to feed one of the towns local expert foodies….a solid, dark, green eyed male kitty cat who hoodwinked us into giving him a few bites of our chicken salad and all of the bacon from our pasta salad. If we end up coming back this way, we will...
