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.
Light, airy atmosphere with a great selection of vegan baked goods, snacks, & drinks. Unfortunately I would not recommend the matcha latte because it had a yellowish tint & tasted strange, but other than that everything else tasted great & this is a great spot for both studying/working & chatting with friends.
Un des meilleurs cafés de la ville.
Le matcha & les autres boissons étaient délicieux. J'ai également adoré les petits cookies aux matcha.
La carte est vaste & bien détaillée.
Les prix sont corrects & il y a beaucoup de places assises, mais ATTENTION il y a beaucoup de monde.
C'est un café silencieux, idéal pour travailler, moins pour discuter.
Je recommande fortement
Vegan croissants!! Yes please!! Large soy lattes with great tasting espresso! YES! & a place where you can work on your computer & not feel like you are taking seats from anybody. Really wonderful to have large comfortable tables, actually two rooms full. This is a great place I would probably come here every day if I lived here to drink my morning latte & work on my book. 5-star atmosphere not because it's such a beautiful place but for what it is, it is perfect.
Charmant café !
J'ai apprécié l'offre vegan des pâtisseries & l'accueil est sympa ! L'emplacement aussi je m'attendais pas à tomber sur un café à cet endroit ! Je repasserai pour tester les nouveautés de Noël
Very lovely cafe to work/study. The WiFi connection is fine. The staff is very kind. I wish they had non-vegan milk options, too. They have greay pistachio milk latte & oat milk latte. I also tried chocolate chip banana bread & Melange De Brais (probably misspelled :D). All were really good...
Friendly staff & the most delicious gluten free little cookies. So glad I bought 6 & would gladly go back for more! & they have a good variety of syrups to make the perfect matcha latte. I went with Lavender :)

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).
Leaves House is a small cafe near McGill that offers an entirely plant-based menu, down to the sweet & savory pastry options that they provide! You have your usual suspects which include tea lattes & there are a variety of non-dairy milks to choose from, including macadamia & pistachio which makes it extra creamy. I opted for a Lavender Oat Milk Latte & two of their scones, which were the perfect snack. Everything was at a reasonable price as well. As of May 2024, they weren't serving boba which was a shame since I came here wanting some, but I appreciate the other plant-based options offered anyway.

Super cute cafe & very student friendly! They have a lot of unique drinks, & the staff were all very nice (& bilingual). Lots of options for alternative milks & interesting flavoured syrups. I heavily suggest the Hojicha Latte! (Didn't get to try any food, oops) A lot of students come here to work, so if you intend to grab a seat- get here early!
Lovely vegan cafe with a large study space & plants that extends across the entire upper floor of the cafe. However, the wifi has given me a problem a few times so be warned. The scones are to die for & they have some bite-sized cookies that are gluten free. I recommend the classic matcha latte with macedamin nut milk (unsweetened).

Cute cafe near McGill University with a bright, airy, spacious workspace & lovely plants & succulents. Great place to meet up & chat with friends. Decent selection of vegan pastries. The matcha latte was excellent. New as of fall 2023: they also offer a selection of vegan Poké bowls from Ohana. Very generous portion size. I took the large bowl & could barely finish it.
J'aime cet endroit, mais aujourd'hui le latte avait un goût de lait végétal presque périmé. La serveuse, très gentille, était seule la fin de semaine pour servir une énorme quantité de clients. Édité après la réponse de l'établissement.
The tall buildings around could be a turn off but don't pass your way, the relaxed music & plants inside make a perfect island. Original lattes (the lavender wasn't too sweet, great espresso), & terrific melting gluten-free almond & matcha cookies!
Cute vegan cafe! I like the location, the space is very bright & open. I got the Hojicha latte & lavender latte, both with oat milk. I’d come back to try other stuff.
