Last year, in a small space between fancy-pants shops on de la Montagne, a giant vegan cute bomb went off. Leaves Café emerged from the rubble and now we have coconut lattés and vegan croissants. Thank goodness.
Any drink you order gives you the option to use coconut, rice, soy and almond. Thus far I've ordered lattés with rice and coconut- both were steamed to perfection with well-rendered latté art. Cute cute cute. Even the staff is cute. There, I said it.
While I do like Sophie Sucrée, I also appreciate that Leaves features baked goods from other bakeries. It seems like the majority of spots that feature vegan baked goods are getting their stuff from SS which is great, but like, variety is nice.
I've never tried to sit and stay in Leaves, but I imagine it can be tough at times to wrestle up a spot in there. Maybe plan to take your coffee to go?
