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.
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).
Such a cute little place! Love the fact that everything is vegan, & delicious. Lots of options for baked treats & even poke bowls. I ordered five items, & my favorite was the blueberry Danish. Nice music playing in the background, plenty of space to sit & do some work (many students around), quick service, convenient location. Extra thanks to my barista, Daniella, who was so friendly & accommodating to my excitement as I was ordering :-)

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.
