We visited for the first time a few months ago. We have been back several times since. The mushroom toast piqued our interest, especially since we had just talked to the shroom grower at the farmer's market. Fresh, unique, and absolutely scrumptious! A side of potatoes, and we split it for a small lunch. Great menu, and we'll be back for more mushroom toast and to sample the yummy looking baked goods/sweets. Welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Everything they were serving and cooking smelled delicious. The variations on French toast change, but are always worth consideration. Fast becoming one of our favorite spots. They also serve dinner Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. One day, we will make it a point not to gorgeous ourselves on breakfast and come here for dinner. Honestly can't say enough positive things about this place or the staff.

The perfect blend of higher end food and a small bakery atmosphere! We have enjoyed their baked goods and brunch offerings many times. To hear that they are expanding to some dinner offerings is exciting!

Absolutely fantastic meal. The only complaint I have is that I couldn’t eat more. The hot brown is amazing. If you come on Saturdays, they have the best cinnamon rolls you will find. Highly recommend!

My son and I have made Leaven Bakery part of our weekly routine. It is the highlight of the school week on Thursday mornings! We love the cream cheese Danishes, omelets, sourdough English Muffins, and the rosemary focaccia. Nothing lasts long at our house! I have a sensitive tummy and avoid most grains, but I do well with occasional treats from Leaven due to their high quality! I can't speak highly enough of the staff. They are so friendly, and they know their customers. I've even walked in on a school morning in a rush and they already had my son's order in process! Now that is old fashioned service! <3

I tried this place for the first time this morning and was super disappointed. I spent almost $30 by myself after tip on breakfast, a latte, and a pastry. The side of home fries was very small. The biscuits were tougher than expected and I didn't care for the gravy. The latte also hardly had any flavor and I didn't drink more than a few sips. They have great reviews so I was really bummed! The place is small, but the staff is super friendly.

We came to Leaven today for a birthday outing. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. The coffee was great and the food was absolutely amazing. Wonderful flavors, fresh ingredients, and more than ample serving sizes for sure. Their French toast was some of the best I’ve ever had and that’s saying something since it’s one of my favorite breakfast foods. You can tell they know what they’re doing when it comes to baking and cooking.
