The best thing about Leaf is the variety! Wow. I love their desserts and have had several of their wraps and salads. I think the owner, Rod Rotondi set out to do a great thing by making raw, living foods more accessible and very affordable.
KEY: $ – cheap n easy. $$ – modestly priced. $$$ – gettin’ up there. $$$$ – expensive!
PRICE: $$
FOOD: Desserts are nothing short of amazing! The wraps and salads can be a little overwhelming for a newbie, tasting maybe a little too ‘healthy’ but you’ll get used to it. Standouts include the Cinnamon Roll (breakfast) Hummus, Chocolate Brownie and the simple fact that you can get a young thai coconut to drink with a straw!
VIBE: Casual to nice. You could go here in shorts or have a casual business meeting here.

I have brought several of my non-raw foodie friends here as it’s just about the only option for folks in the valley. They devoured those desserts and were blown away by the fact that it was a raw apple pie they were eating. One friend fell in love with their house specialty kale salad and loved their crackers, too.
This is the type of cafe that you order at the counter and then they bring you your food at your table. Service can be a little slow as raw foods are not microwaved or simply thrown onto a grill, so be patient! I’m thrilled to see this restaurant offering their cuisine as ‘to-go’ foods in places like Whole Foods and other shops. Getting more people to eat raw by having it already made for them is a step that needs to happen and in a very big way. Big kudos for that!
