Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant: A Unique Dining Experience in Boulder, CO

This place is amazing!!! The chai lattes were perfect! I got the vegan BLT and my sister got the breakfast burrito and they were both delicious. The vegan bacon was made so well- it wasn't too tough like a lot of vegan meats. The breakfast burrito was so big that we had a meal for breakfast and lunch. Definitely will be coming back next time I'm up in Boulder.

Another 5 star lunch at Leaf! Amazing vegetarian options and Kombucha. The sweet potato fries were AMAZING! Salty, crispy goodness. I eat here every time I'm in the Boulder area and it's always spot-on!

What a wonderful spot for some flavorful and unique vegetarian food! So many great choices and everyone in our party loved what they ordered. Also great NA drink options. The service was great and it's a pretty spacious place. We came during the week for lunch and it wasn't very busy. Highly recommend!

Leaf is a well-located vegetarian restaurant located right off Pearl Street Mall. The restaurant has a great ambiance, decent service, and a small menu with mostly plant-based choices. I am not a vegetarian but an omnivore who likes the occasional vegan or vegetarian meal -- so keep that in mind during this review. My party started with Jackfruit Adobada Nachos, Calamari Style Oyster Mushroom, and Bruschetta. These appetizers were delicious, especially the mushroom calamari. It was honestly surprising how tasty these vegetarian small plates could be! We also were offered a complimentary bread basket, which was just as yummy. Things changed however once we got to the main courses. As a group, we ordered the mushroom burger, tofu bibimbap, and Jamaican jerk tempeh. The main dishes just did not live up to the expectations left by the small plates. The food was fine, it was edible but nothing special. These tasted like what you would expect for vegetarian options. For those who strictly abide by a vegetarian diet, these dishes may offer variety and novelty. But for those who eat meat like myself, these main courses were a poor imitation of meaty meals. Overall, this is a great spot for appetizers and drinks, located in an even better location. However, this just leads to expensive plates of veggies that leave you wanting a little more -- that's Boulder for you. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, I'd highly recommend this restaurant. For meat eaters like myself, this probably won't be on my radar any time soon, but I am glad I tried it.

The food is tasty but a bit on the pricey side. It is located in the upscale pearl street of boulder, co. Service was great and food was punctual The reason why I did not rate it 5 stars instead of 4 was for the sole reason of lacking creativity. Vegan food requires that to make it a 5 star experience since all you're eating is legumes and veggies

[Note: I only post reviews if the business earns 5 stars or 1 star.] On a 4-day weekend in Boulder, the food, service, and ambience were so enjoyable that we ate here 4 times. We tried a variety of appetizers, entrées, and desserts, all of which were fantastic (bruschetta, risotto, orange cauliflower, mango crème broulee, cheesecake...). The blueberry lavender fizz drinks are so good the 4 of us ordered 12 on our last night (ask Autumn to make them). And we ate so many calamari mushrooms over the four days (8 plates) that they ran out. Autumn and Elizabeth waited on us a total of three times and were friendly, informative and fun without a hint of kissing up to get a large tip. They were both gems who made us feel like locals. And kudos to the chefs for their exceptional flavors and presentation with delicious dishes that leave you healthy and immensely satisfied.

Big space inside and outdoor patio that allows dogs. Happy hour have limited menu for food. Service was fast. Mocktails are great. Spicy thai - 5/5 Mocktail gin and ginger - 4.5/5 Oyster dish - 4/5 - lacks little seasoning ow very creative Leaf plate - 3/5- liked pita and hummus. the rest of the dish was not that great Mushroom and crab sliders - 4.5/5 - really enjoyed them. good bite size. Jackfruit nachos - 4/5 - nacho chips were not good at first. So they prepared again the same dish for us which was good.

A really cute spot to grab a healthy and meat free meal without being obvious that there isn't any meat. I got the vegan crab cake, and while it didn't taste much like crab cake, it was still delicious and so filling. The bread was soft and hit the spot, there was a good amount of sauce, and the meat substitute (I think it was tempeh) was so savory and delicious. And I love that it comes with a salad. My friends got the harvest bowl and they weren't as happy with their choice. I think Leaf would have been better off labeling this as a salad rather than a bowl, because my friends expected it to be warm but everything was cold. But salad would also usually require some sort of dressing and there wasn't really any sauce or flavoring.
