    Orange Cauliflower
    Sahil P.

    We flew from San Diego and this place was highly recommended for vegan spots in the city. We had an excellent experience here! Great ambiance, food and service. The Lapsang Souchong BBQ was our favorite!! Slaw was so flavorful and creamy!

    The food here is absolutely amazing! Everything we've tried has been delicious. My favorite dish is the cauliflower tacos -- they're to die for! I highly recommend subbing the blue cheese for the aioli; it's perfection. My husband loves the ramen, and the orange cauliflower is another must-try. If you visit in the evening, they serve complimentary focaccia bread, which is so fresh and flavorful. Nearly any dish can be made vegan, and they do an incredible job with the substitutions. This is definitely one of the nicest upscale vegan-friendly restaurants around. Our server, Elizabeth, was incredible -- so attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly. She made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back! Also, the restaurant is super cute!

    Peanut crunch salad

    Fresh food, inviting and open atmosphere, great indoor outdoor spot with a unique all vegetarian menu. They source all their food from their local farm. Loved the presentation as well and the menu rotates regularly inviting a new selection of flavorful dishes. I especially love the decor and how it opens up to the outside creating a relaxing atmosphere.

    Brunch burger

    I eat here whenever I'm in Boulder and the food is always delicious. My favorite time is brunch, the menu has almost too many choices but it's always a hit.

    Large Farm Summer Salad

    Ambience was good and it's a nice find in Colorado. The serveurs are nice, warm and welcoming. It's a good date place for people who want to have a good time. Food wise it's okay. Knowing it's a vegetarian restaurant I had hoped for more fresh ingredients and recipes. Most items were premade. Good luck catering to dietary restrictions like sensitive stomach. Jain food is also a miss here. Settled with a salad and vegan desserts

    Thai Green Curry. A disappointment, reminding me of plain vegetarian fare I tried decades ago.

    A disappointment. The dishes tasted retro vegetarian, reminding me of plain vegetarian fare I tried a few decades ago. SERVICE: 2.5. The waiter was reasonably efficient, lacking both a smile and warmth. He seemed irritated. The person who seated us was friendly. AMBIANCE: 3.0. Would have been helpful to have shades on the windows to block the afternoon sun. FOOD: 3.0. Retro vegetarian plain dishes. - Calamari Style Oyster Mushrooms (appetizer): 5.0. Excellent. - Thai Green Curry: 2.0. Plain and dissappointing. - Jamaican Jerk Tempeh: 2.0. Plain and dissappointing. We noticed that the couple dining next to us didn't even finish half their main dishes before departing.

    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.

    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!

    Vegan crab cake sandwich
    Briana N.

    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.

    This is a good place to go as a vegetarian or vegan in Boulder but maybe not gluten free. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. I have tried to come previously on a weekend night and they had a 45 minute wait so their busyness is quite varied. I am gluten free and vegetarian and they had quite a few options for me. Me and my partner ended up splitting the caprese sandwich with gf bread and their huevos rancheros. The caprese had good fillings and they use strawberry instead of tomato which I loved. The gluten free bread though was pretty terrible. I have had a wide swath of gf bread and this one really didn't hold its own. It was dry, crumbly, and lacked flavor. The fries were good and so was the ketchup which is saying something as I usually hate ketchup. The huevos rancheros was similarly good but not great. They served the tortillas within the pile of beans and pico and eggs/tofu. This meant it was more like eating a veggie burrito bowl with bites of corn tortilla in it which wasn't my favorite, and isn't what I expect for huevos rancheros. The tea is exceptional though, no notes. The server was very nice and attentive, the decor was great, and the ambiance was nice.

    Sourdough French toast

    Omg omg , I'm not vegan but this was the best breakfast. The best French toast ever and my 2 eggs O/E were cooked to perfection. The espresso martini with coconut tequila !!! Fantastic! Sampled the chilaquiles , again awesome . Treat yourself to brunch ! You deserve this !

    The calamari-style mushrooms really are as good as they say they are. This place gets the details right.

    One of my favorites, and probably one of the best restaurants in Boulder, vegetarian or otherwise.

    Fifteen years later and this remains my go to spot for a delicious brews (love the Cerise) and…read morebites (the lemon pepper wings and pepperoni pizza are a must). From game days (televised or board/card) to happy hour catch ups I love coming here for the laid back and family friendly vibes. I've enjoyed having my birthday party here for the last handful of years (they have amazing event space). As it's family friendly my crew always feels happy to bring their well behaved little one along. While my friends are sure to bring activities for their kiddos (books, toys, educational iPad devices) some folks aren't as considerate. I've definitely had the unfortunate experience of kids running amuck while their parents are fully attentive only to their brewskis. This was particularly disturbing as I've been recovering from a knee injury for several months and my partner has often been with me and on crutches. Would love to see people take more responsibility for their children's behavior when taking them out in public for everyone's safety. While it's Boulder afterall I hold hope that parents will look after their kids if they decide to bring them in or drop them to the nearby kiddos climbing facility if they wanna play. Looking forward to many more good times with friends at this awesome locally owned gem.

    Third time here last night. Biggest complaint is they don't keep their website current, so most of…read morethe beers we had planned to try weren't on the menu wall when we got there. We started with a flight and ranked them in this order: * Holy Craic Irish Red Ale (#2 for my wife) * Golden Boy Kolsch (#1 for my wife) * Steel Cut Stout * Twisted Amber (neither liked) * Dublin Magic Irish Stout (neither liked) After the flight, we both enjoyed two of the beers we enjoyed the most. For food, we each got a side Caesar salad. Large and with lots of flavor, they were very good. We each then got the Mediterranean pizza. I added chicken to mine. My wife liked hers, while I was disappointed in mine. I didn't find the flavor to be great, and the crust was rather flimsy and disappointing. Pizza here on our first visit had been great, so again, this was disappointing. Service was friendly enough. I'm sure we'll be back again.
