This was our 2nd time coming to Red's Leaf Cafe and each time has been outstanding! The food is great and the owner is super friendly and accommodating. We had breakfast the first time, vegan scramble and pancakes and today we went for the Tofu Panini and the Kuku sandwiches. We also had the homemade soup and crispy potatoes. Everything was fantastic and fresh! We will continue to return over and over. So glad we live close by!

What a find! If you are anywhere near Red's Leaf Cafe definitely go! The food was delicious, the owner is just wonderful and it's an adorable place. We went twice - dinner and then breakfast the next day. It's BYOB but there is a lovely mocktail menu too.

First of all. The owner is amazing. She's an animal advocate and that means a lot in the world of vegan culinary. She's also simply a pleasant and kind human who is excited for her amazing food and to have you there. But that aside, the food is amazing! The presentation is beautiful. The seasoning is perfect. The portions are perfect. And everything is just delicious. Absolutely cute spot too. Definitely stop by here and try just about anything cause it's all good. I've tried alot of vegan food across the country and this is in the top 10. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-14

Stopped by this hidden gem tonight and was not disappointed. The inside of this little cafe was adorable! Really cozy. The woman who owns this cafe is the absolute sweetest person ever. She made sure we really enjoyed the food and our experience although it's impossible to not enjoy the food! I recommend the fried oyster mushrooms. And I had to finish off with the dalgona coffee which was extremely creamy and perfectly sweet. They even make their own oat milk! The coffee was too hot for me to finish (my impatient parents) so she gave me a to go cup. 12/10 must try.

First time here and boy what an EXPERIENCE!!!! I’ve had many vegan restaurants and this was by far very different taste wise!!! First the place is cute very small but cute. The waitress was accommodating but very quiet, the owner is absolutely the sweetest! My son and I got a lot of things such as the orange lions main mushrooms with coconut rice(Delicious) oysters mushrooms (AMAZING) the pancakes with fruit (Tasty) the loaded nachos (just ok) the lentil burger (OUTSTANDING) and the soup of the day left me speechless!!! Parking isn’t great but where there’s a will there’s a way! We ate the other stuff too fast so this is the only pic I took

Absolutely loved the food and the ambience here. We had three starters, the fried oyster mushrooms, the loaded potatoe stack, and the Seaton dish.For the main we had roasted cauliflower, the lions mane, and barbecue sticks.In dessert, we had the brownie, as well as the carrot muffins, which were the dessert of the dayThe fried oyster mushrooms were very yummy and especially loved the dipping sauce with it. the potatoes were very spicy, but had a good sauce with it as well.My favorite dish has to be the Lions main which also consisted of fried oyster mushrooms, but this yummy coconut rice with it as well as a very good sauce for adding a nice sweet and tart flavor.It’s a really tiny restaurant, which I am only giving four stars for the ambience but on the plus side the decoration is done very well.For drinks, I had the ABC juice and a friend of mine had the carrot juice which were OK another friend had the watermelon mint which she felt was very bland.

I have been vegan for decades, and I have eaten at the fanciest restaurants across New York City and I have never eaten food this delicious in my life. We found this little gem quite by accident when our initial choice for a restaurant turned out to be a dump. We did a Google search and found this amazing place. It's tiny, but we were greeted warmly. The atmosphere is welcoming and even though it is tiny, it has the feel of an actual restaurant. We tried three different appetizers, and I couldn't even begin to choose which one I liked best. Our entrées were delicious as well. Even if you are not vegan, you should come and have some of the most delicious food you will ever eat. The owner is very sweet and has personally creates all of the recipes for the food she serves... Absolutely phenomenal... I am switching my birthday plans and coming back here... Awesome place.
