Leaves House is a bright, spacious vegan cafe that many reviewers describe as an ideal spot to work or study, with a quiet atmosphere, abundant natural light, two rooms of seating and plenty of outlets. The drinks menu is praised for quality and variety, including matcha, chai, and lattes made with plant-based milks such as macadamia and pistachio, along with espresso drinks, and a range of vegan pastries and cookies. Some reviews note limited non-drink food options and occasional downsides like higher prices and longer lunch wait times, as well as occasional espresso or WiFi issues. Overall, friendly staff, a strong vegan selection, and a welcoming environment for solo work or social visits make Leaves House a popular choice.
The cappuccino was okay, there's only plant based milk which I didn't know, so not a huge fan of oatmilk in my coffee, but still good. It's a very good spot to study, low music, a lot of sunlight & lots of tables.

Lovely café with a variety of baked goods. I tried their matcha & pâtés-both were amazing. Cafés like this create the perfect vibe, whether you're stopping by to enjoy a cup of coffee or looking for a spot to work remotely/study.
This is a very charming & spacious cafe with space to study. Great service as well. The only con is that the iced drinks (notably the iced lattes) are always extremely watered down even if asked for less ice. I'm not sure if it's the way its prepared or if they put ice in the cup immediately before the espresso or milk but as soon as I get my iced drink, it doesn't even taste like coffee. If this is due to the organic espresso taste they use, then I guess that would make sense. It's just for a $8 latte, you would expect perfection (especially since 90% of their demographic are students).
Great cold brew! A few years ago, I was doing a lot of cold brew at home, I can notice when it's poor cold brew coffee or just cold coffee. I can tell the Leaves House cold brew coffee is top quality. You can feel the flavor & the caffeine instantly at the first sip!

Great coffee, service & a quiet place to work or study. However, don't get matcha as the matcha concentrate is pre made & gives the matcha drink a bitter taste with lots of bottom residue. Not worth it for the price.
With the quality of coffees, wide selection of milks, & delicious pastries, Leaves is a must try. My personal recommendation is a dirty chai with spicy chai concentrate & with macadamia milk!
Good place to buy oat milk & other milk supplies & prices are reasonable. Coffee was decent but lacking a bit. Was understaffed & only one person working so can get busy.
