Family recipes– Loretta’s parents had great food at their restaurant. Loretta’s mother was very proud of her
desserts. O’Leander Café keeps the memories alive with their great food and delicious desserts,
some recipes from Loretta’s family’s restaurant. And just like mom, Loretta makes wonderful desserts.

Family and Friends– It felt like home to eat at Loretta’s family’s restaurant. Like Loretta’s dad, when you eat at O’Leander Café, Loretta, her husband, and the wait staff greet you and treat you like family.

Loretta loves OLeanders and has them planted around the café. And of course, the café is located in Ole Towne Leander.
