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
I've enjoyed all the drinks I've tried at Leaves - matcha, chai, london fog & lavender lemonade. They use high quality syrups & amazing macadamia milk, totally worth the extra 50 cents! I'm not a big fan of the scones, but the cookies & savoury options are quite good! They get food from Ohana Sushi freshly made there, I can 100% recommend the spring rolls :)
It's a great study spot because of how bright, quiet & spacious it is, plus there's always outlets available.
In my experience, the staff there are very friendly too! Overall, great place to go alone or with friends.
Such a wonderful experience! We stopped by to buy two bags of matcha for friends, & the barista kindly offered to make us two complimentary matcha drinks. We had them iced with macadamia milk & they were absolutely delicious - smooth, perfectly balanced, & refreshing. The matcha itself was excellent quality (even my husband, who usually isn't a big matcha fan, really enjoyed it!). Friendly service, thoughtful touches, & amazing drinks - can't recommend this spot enough! 🍵
La matcha est délicieux, pas sucré & vraiment parfaitement dosé ! Le biscuit (lui aussi au matcha) était très bon aussi, un peu trop sucré pour moi mais je n'aime vraiment pas le sucre haha !

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.
10/10 matchs. Legit the best I've had. I can't believe I wasn't having regular milk? It tastes so good you can't even tell (it's even better). Great location, tons of nice stuff to buy (you can buy their matcha powder & syrups) & surprisingly great service. My new favourite Montreal cafe.
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 :)
The Matcha Biskitto is the best amaretti/almond cookie I've ever had! I bought one, then ended up buying the rest of their stock. I wish we had this in the Greater Toronto Area too! 🥹
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).
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.
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.
