Great food tho the portions size are bit small for the price you pay. I was told the happy hour tacos were the same size as the dinner ones but when they came out . It just wasn't true. My friend had the tacos last week for dinner and they were huge. I just don't like being lied to. Consistency is key at restaurants.

The food we ordered was very bland and weirdly spiced. We ordered calamari mushrooms and samosa cake. First one was bland, and the second dish was just sweet with a weird spice and no salt. I thought the restaurant was trying too hard to make vegetarian dishes.

My husband and I have been to Leaf a few times over the years and have generally felt it was so-so, but we decided to take a chance for a Valentine's Day lunch and were pleasantly surprised.Things seem to have improved over the years - the variety and flavor of the dishes offered, we like the slightly more casual atmosphere than their old location, and the drink selection.The thing that put our experience over the top for us was the service. Jaidyn is an absolute gem and should be protected at all costs. She was lovely, personable, absolutely spot-on with her recommendations, and truly made the experience special for us.Our favorites were the mushroom appetizer and the tequila old fashioned.

The place is very cute! Sadly, the food was actually terrible. I normally love mushroom burgers. This "Burger" was minced and bland. My friend only ate half of his pasta dish. Appetizers were mediocre. There are many better restaurants nearby.

Lovely brunch at Leaf! The food is incredible. I can highly recommend the biscuits and mushroom gravy, avocado toast, and the sweet potato fries. We will absolutely be coming back here!

The general manager reached out, Jerry. He was very nice and explained that they will use this as a learning lesson to improve which I found to be the right thing to do. I will be back to see to give it another shot as they do have wonderful food.

I was abruptly asked to leave after ordering tons of food and drinks before I had even received my check!! The desserts were taken at the time me and my friend were asked to leave. By no means were we overstaying our welcome. In fact we had only been there 1 hour and 15 mins. Ordered 2 drinks, 2apps, 2 entrees and 2 desserts. The manager was a complete moron. He didn’t offer to refund me for the food that was removed. I do not recommend this place. Be careful if you eat there as you may be asked to leave.

Hands down one of the best vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants in Boulder. It has a very creative menu, not the same things that you find at pretty much all vegan restaurants. It's has a very cozy and chic ambience. The staff is quite friendly and nice. This restaurant can get busy during peak season and peak hours, so plan or reserve in advance. I highly recommend the dessert. Everything we tried here was delicious, I particularly enjoyed the Reuben sandwich.

Came for happy hour on Sunday, got seated immediately, and service was good. It's cute inside and decorated nicely, and given it wasn't busy when we went, it was a nice place to be on a rainy Sunday. Tried five happy hour "small plates": - Buffalo Cauliflower Taco - Crab Cake Slider w/ Mix fries (sweet & russet) - Spicy Garlic Noodle - Calamari Style Oyster Mushrooms - Bruschetta Value for price was good for a restaurant on Pearl St, we were surprised by the amount of food on each small plate. For two people, these five items definitely filled us up. As for the quality, we were pretty underwhelmed by every dish except the crab cake slider which was tasty but not amazing. We realized we had picked 4/5 plates with fried items, all of which were super oily. The taco was alright, the cauliflower was crispy but pretty much flavorless, and the vegan bleu cheese was kinda lame. The vegan crab cake was great, and our favorite of the five plates. I'd come back for that. Coulda used a little more of the tartar sauce though. The Spicy Garlic noodles tasted great, but like everything else was really oily. The oyster mushrooms were probably the most disappointing. They were soaking with oil and pretty much flavorless without the sweet and sour sauce they came with. The bruschetta was also really good, but they drizzled so much oil over it that the arugula the bruschetta was sitting on was swimming in it.
Upscale plant based restaurant. Almost everything can be made vegan.

Good food, big portions. It's a pity that they sometimes only offer specific items during specific times of the day :(
One of the few restaurants in downtown Boulder with an extensive vegetarian menu. The small plates are better than entrees.
