Location	Yongen-Jaya

Café Leblanc is a primary location in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. The café storage attic is the protagonist's home for the year, and the restaurant below is run by his temporary guardian and probationary officer, Sojiro Sakura.

Gameplay

Persona 5 / Persona 5 Royal

Café Leblanc is where most game days start and each block of free time begins. The building is divided into the café proper on the first floor and the attic on the second floor where the protagonist lives. The attic space also becomes the planning hideout of the Phantom Thieves partway through the game.

The café environs provide the ability to pass time, perform activities that gain Social Stats, establish or progress multiple Confidants, obtain items that can be useful in the Metaverse, exercise to increase the protagonist's HP stat, and obtain any DLC content. Over the course of the game, various patrons of Leblanc can be periodically interacted with or eavesdropped on for commentary or foreshadowing regarding in-game events.

On specific days, a friend may visit Leblanc with the option to choose to hang out with them for the afternoon. Doing so will pass time, but provides points toward a social stat and a chance for points toward that friend's Confidant. A hangout can sometimes be extended into the evening for additional Confidant points.

Persona 5: The Phantom X

Café Leblanc is seen as an unmanned store by the residents of Yongen-Jaya and Lufel. Entering the café initially allows the player to talk to cognitions of members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. The TV screen displays only static and there is a foggy air throughout the café, most notably at the stairs leading to the attic. Multiple indications imply that this is a location in the Metaverse; when entering and exiting the café a glitch sound effect can be heard, and the sign on the door stays set at "Closed". Walking around produces pink footsteps resembling those seen in the Metaverse. After the first visit, Lufel comments about the protagonist standing and staring off into space at the entrance, which is similar to what happens when a Wild Card enters the Velvet Room.
