Another local gem in Bannockburn that has a good menu of lunch food & if you go enough they may even name a sandwich after you!

The atmosphere is very welcoming and pleasant. The food is very good and the staff friendly; we are we enjoyed our lunch.

Freshly prepared food in a unique setting (the Libby of a multi story office building). The seating area was very comfortable and the service was prompt. The food was reasonably priced and very yummy. read more

Delicious food. Good service. Great people. Very reasonable prices. I'm very glad I stumbled upon this spot and will be coming back again and again. I loved the southwest style salad with blackened chicken. Their specials are also fun and different. Check this place out - you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

I've been a long time customer of The Leaf ...many years...and I've always had delicious meals. From their soups to unique sandwiches to burgers, their food is first rate and the service friendly and always efficient. How many restaurants have you visited that you'd give a 100% score? They've just undergone a spectacular renovation and the new seating area is as comfortable my friendship with the owners. It's the "Cheers" of lunch places and the food is terrific. read more

YUMM!! We stayed at La Quinta next door to the business center that houses The Leaf Cafe. We stumbled across the cafe when searching for a place to eat lunch on our first day here... and have come back every day for lunch since then! The food is so good. I HIGHLY recommend the Montpellier chicken sandwich! The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the surroundings are perfect to sit and do a little remote business while you eat/wait. So good! I would have posted pics of our food but it was all gone before I had the chance! read more

We stopped here on our way back from the city for lunch and we're very surprised with the quality of the food. We ordered the special of the day which was a spicy salmon on a bed of lettuce with raspberry's, peaches, feta, avocado, pecans and carrots. The dressing was made fresh that morning. It was amazing! The portion size was very good. You walk up to the counter and order your food. They give you a number and you pick up your food when your number is called. There hours are very specific so make sure you check before attending. read more

The Leaf Cafe - a plate of salad with grilled salmon and peaches - American Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

This place is great! Their prices on the breakfast combos are a wonderful value and the food is high quality. Plus there is a calming water feature to sit by and relax. It's a hidden gem, located in an office building but if you go around to the back entrance, the cafe is the first thing you see. You order at a counter, and then take your tray to a counter at the end. The staff was friendly as well. This will be my new go-to breakfast spot for great value and ambiance! read more

The Leaf Cafe was a wonderful surprise. We happened to be in the area and found their listing through Yelp. My husband had a southwestern style salad, and I had a panini style sandwich (I'm sorry I can't remember the names) but both were very good and my fries were delicious--super crispy and hot. The presentation and quality of the food was really a cut above. I don't usually do reviews but I really feel they deserve it. To be honest, we didn't expect much because it is located within an office building, and at the time we visited, there was a huge renovation going on right in front of the cafe, which has to make business difficult for them. However, they have a small but nice sitting area and if you are looking for lunch, it is well worth a stop. read more

I work in a 3 story office complex and The Leaf Cafe is on the 1st floor. I grab lunch here from time-to-time. They make everything to order and are a bit slow, serving one order at a time... and it's worth it! You can call in the morning with your order so it will be ready when you want it. But the food is worth it. Everything I've had is fresh and consistently great. One of my go-to dishes is their Cajun Chicken Salad. The salad is very fresh and served with delicious chicken. I wish they had honey mustard dressing but they have a decent variety. I typically go ranch. Their burgers are really good, and they dress them well. They have several sides you can opt for. Their fries are worth fighting over at the table and we love their onion rings. Great place for lunch. They serve breakfast but I've never tried them for that. read more

Do not hesitate to stop in for a bite even though the place is in a corporate office. Delicious soup and salad in a bright airy space. Enjoy! read more

The Leaf Cafe - Santiago Salmon Salad, French Fries and Fig Soup - American Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

Open M-F until 2pm, Leaf Cafe is in an office complex at the Half Day Rd. exit on 94. It's a good place for a pop-in if you're nearby, for fresh food and friendly service. There's a little seating area here, but it's essentially in the lobby of a newer office complex (not glamorous). You can phone ahead and put your order in for specific time pickup, and the staff seemed to know a few regulars, which is nice. I'm glad I know this is in the area- skip the strip malls and head here for some fresher options. read more

Great salmon salad. Would give this a 4.5 star instead of 5 due to a few brown spots on the Lettuce and the service is a bit slow. read more

Excellent food, pleasant dining area, wonderful, friendly staff! Salads, sandwiches and sweet potato fries are the best you will find anywhere. read more

The food and service was fantastic! Everyone was so friendly. Thank you so much for such an excellent experience!!!

Wow! This place is really great! I came across this place through Yelp when I was looking for options for lunch. I don't like the food that my company cafe has so I order here quite often and have my boyfriend pick it up for me. They are usually very friendly and have such a tasty yet healthy selection of food for such a reasonable cost. I would list my favorites but I just have too many. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything here; unless you don't like food and have no taste buds...just kidding...but not really. I really wish they would set up shop in my company building so I could eat here every day and not have to have my boyfriend drop it off for me all the time, haha. This place is pure perfection so check it out when you get the chance! read more

Located in the atrium of an office building, this hidden place served us up some good salads for a quick lunch and even were able to accommodate my request for an all raw salad combining veggies from a few of their salad offerings to create a healthy delicious salad for me read more

Santiago Salmon Salad. This is awesome!! Full of fresh vegetables, quinoa, guacamole, fresh salmon made to order, and a drizzle of lime cilantro crema. I agree this place is a diamond in the rough. The best $10.21 meal I ever had. Filling and healthy too!! Kudos to this fine dining mom and pop restaurant! read more

The Leaf Cafe - Santiago Salmon Salad. - American Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

The Leaf is a diamond in the ruff, they do not get a lot of exposure simply because they are in a remote location inside of a corporate building, but they have been nothing but polite and they have delicious food. Stay classy Leaf. read more

The Leaf Cafe - a plate of food and a bowl of salad - American Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

Great salads. Convenient location. Would come back. They are offering Curbside and over the phone payment now so it's easy for pickup.

Let me just say this is not a restaurant. It's a food court in an office building. That said, it serves a good salad. No ambience cause it's an office building read more

Hidden Gem for lunch! Quality ingredients, and they make their own hot sauces. Don't go for ambiance - just really solid food.

Driving from O'Hare to milwaukee, wanted a quick lunch, not fast food. Saw this place on yelp, had good reviews so i tried it. It is easy on / highway, which is great. It is actually located inside a corp office, but available to public. I got an excellent salmon salad & cup of soup for $12. Order at the counter, and only took about 5-7 minutes. Great little spot for a quick, healthy delicious lunch. Ill definitely be back when making this commute. read more

I had the boss burger and it was delicious, very nice staff and great choice of condiments (hot sauces etc.) Food didn't take time and was fresh. read more

I come here regularly on my lunches and the food is great. They have a regular menu with 3 other options which change daily. One of my favorites is their quesadilla which is thick with cheese, meat, tomato, and Mexican spices. While the food can take a couple minutes to come out, it's well worth the wait. read more

Love this place. I work in a building right next door and I go to this cafe at least twice a week for lunch. I have tried several things on the menu including specials and have never been less than impressed. Absolutely delicious. Service is also very personable and friendly and ingredients are always fresh. Exactly what I'm looking for in a small business read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service, and such a beautiful environment. Couldn't ask for a better venue.

If I could give this restaurant 100 stars I would! By far some of the best food around. The wraps, salads and soups are amazing. The homemade salad dressings are delicious, especially the honey citrus poppyseed. The owners, John and Donna, are wonderful people who truly care about their customers. The team of people they have hired are also great! Stop in for lunch, this place will not disappoint. read more

Super good, fresh, tasty, healthy food and great service!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! This is NOT your average breakfast/lunch place. Everything is made fresh right on the premises. The soups are hearty and the daily specials are super yummy. The owners take great pains to appeal to all tastes and so there's tons of variety - from burgers to low carb. Don't miss the daily specials that, if you're lucky that day, include salmon or sausage with amazing pasta in a tomato cream sauce. The Leaf has helped me make sure to eat healthy, and I've actually lost weight since I started eating there two years ago. Wonderful service, amazingly good food!!!!!! read more

Love The Leaf. The food is great and they have fabulous specials. I only wish I worked in the building since their breakfast specials look great too! Actually, maybe it's a good thing I don't read more

Hands down the best breakfast and lunch place in the area. Getting Chef John's food at these prices is a steal! Can't wait to go back

Great, fresh food & soups. We get a discount because we work at Trinity International University, across the street, when we bring our TIU ID. read more

The Leaf is the best kept secret around. I have lunch there a minimum of 1-2 times a week, because it provides top-notch delicious food at a really reasonable price. They have daily specials, which offer up even more variety to their already diverse menu. The staff is always friendly and the service is pretty darn fast, considering your meals are made to order. I highly recommend The Leaf! read more

never had a bad meal here. i've been working a few buildings away for the past three months as a temporary arrangement. there's not a whole lot of things in the nearby area. so a few weeks in, i decided to give this place a try - best decision! the food is super tasty and the presentation is amazing even for take out. i have had a few salads (southwest is my fave) and sandwiches (that's a wrap, veggie, chicken caprese, smokey the bird). they post specials daily on their facebook page. seriously, everything is really good. i'm a little sad that i'll be moving back to my actual office tomorrow so this place won't be that accessible. if you work around the area, definitely give this place a try... you won't be disappointed! read more
