The food here is amazing. The coffee is great. The atmosphere reminds me of going to see my grandma as a kid which might even make the food taste better. The staff is kind and thoughtful. It's so close to waking up on Christmas morning to a delicious homemade meal that it's kind of scary. Back to the atmosphere. The decor was literally stolen from my grandmothers house. These salt shakers even have, "grandma", in sharpie on the bottom. It's creepy.
We are from Southern California. Daughter just graduated from the University of Iowa. Her Freshman year(4 years ago), we accidentally found this restaurant and loved it. Every year while we visited our daughter, we made every efforts to eat at this cozy, warmth hearted service and the delicious food. This Mother's Day after graduation and before heading back to California we made our final stop for breakfast. The restaurant was extremely busy however, the owner came up, took our name and let us know that we are next. The waitress was so busy but made sure we were treated with care and kindness. The food is always good but its the small things that made this restaurant a five stars! Thank you and we will truly miss you!
Eggs Benedict was delicious! Nice thick sliced ham and thick sliced potatoes! A little more pricey than your average breakfast but worth it. Coffee was awesome and the service was great.
We loved the food, but the service was outstanding. Friendly and laid back, unpretentious place with excellent food
Leaf Kitchen is our favorite breakfast spot. Great food and service. Charming.
Leaf kitchen is responsible for the best meals I've had in my life. Sweet and personable staff, environment and spectacular food.
When in Iowa City, Leaf Kitchen is must do. There are always vegetarian options, daily specials and everything is fresh, fresh, fresh.
Adorable atmosphere, friendly staff, and AMAZING food. You definitely get what you pay for, the ingredients are out of this world and the cooks are genuine and truly care about what goes out of the kitchen. Very professional but laid back at the same time. I love working here! Would recommend this lovely little place to anyone that stops into town :)
Excellent food, friendly staff, will def be back!! The Dulce De Leche Cake was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's bahn mi week! Everything is fantastic but the bahn mi is particularly good. Yum! �
Amazingly delicious.. Worth the 10 minutes off I80 when traveling. Again amazing and delicious.
This is my favorite restaurant I've ever eaten at! I feel lucky to get to work for Harriet and Masae. I learn something new about food each shift.
Stopped in for lunch with my mom today and we were both totally impressed! We expected good food just based on the atmosphere but what came out of the kitchen was better than good. We shared a bacon lettuce tomato avocado sandwich and a pear brie sandwich with onion jam walnuts and arugula. Heavenly!
This is an amazing place-cozy with unapologetically kitschy and colorful touches throughout. The food is the best though. I had the chocolate and berry ricotta crepe and hubby had the quiche Lorraine. The quiche was rich and smokey-baconey with a delicate crust and the crepe was divinely light and sweet, drizzled with chocolate and sitting in a puddle of mixed berry goodness. I kept making unintentional yum noises throughout the first half of my crepe.
Great place for brunch. Eclectic decor. Excellent tea and drink selection. Highly recommend their afternoon tea service. It’s by reservation only with a selection of scones, sandwiches and desert.
The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon was delicious, potatoes were a bit over flavored imo. Good selection of loose leaf teas as well.
Very cute, quaint place serving brunch only on the Sunday I visited with my daughter. The menu offered a variety of sweet and savory items. I had a Moroccan eggs dish - poached eggs covered with a red pepper tomato sauce, with pita and hummus (excellent and filling). My daughter had crepes stuffed with bananas and honey. The crepes looked whole wheat, which is a nice healthy touch.
The brunch also has the egg and meat standards and daily specials. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite thing on the menu so far is the breakfast sandwich. They also have an array of teas and servers are really stylish. All the dishes and silverware are mismatched and its super cute. The vibes here are really nice. Really nice place to go on a date with your significant other!
Great brunch. We're from Chicago and we're pretty serious about brunch, and this place does a better job than most. My friends' only complaint is that there is a lack of hurry to initially take the order and to give the check, but I was totally fine with the relaxed nature. They were VERY attentive to our food allergies, taking time to write them down and accommodate appropriately. They have multiple gluten free options. Food was served super quick after we ordered. All around awesome food joint with great vibe.
Everything is delicious and homemade from scratch and locally sourced. The combinations are brilliant and eclectic and they people are lovely. The restaurant itself is cozy and straight out of a story. It's easily my favorite place for brunch. I can't say enough good things.
