Leo's Superfood Vegan Cafe Reviews

I used to love Leo’s but since it got taken over by a new business owner it has fell down hard. Nothing is the same anymore, I ordered a crunch wrap and it had no flavor, had toppings that aren’t the same as the menu has said. It is soo cramped up in here too filled with random things , idk if Im entering a restaurant or an antique store . The salsa was so cold from being frozen it was flabby. Very disappointing they lost a customer because Ive came too many times where it wasnt tasting good but Im done this time . So sad .

I bumped into this restaurant a few weeks ago. And kind of like it. I noticed that the portions are quite small. Yet, I wanted to contribute. Unfortunately, I requested a quesadilla which was 14.21. I also requested a side of rice. I only my quesadilla, and it seems that they PURPOSELY added whatever rice they had left on it. Basically, I never got my side of rice I paid for. I definitely got cheated. Alas, I liked the food. But that was not the best impression. I ended paying 19 for a small quesadilla, which I could have gotten at Del Taco for 7 dollars. Insane! Not recommended.

Hello Pedro,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate you giving our restaurant a try and supporting small businesses.

We’d like to clarify that side items are prepared and served separately unless otherwise requested. If a side of rice was missing from your order, that is never intentional and we would have gladly corrected it immediately had it been brought to our attention at the time of purchase.

Our pricing reflects the quality of ingredients, portion standards, and preparation involved, which definitely differ from fast-food establishments. There's no comparison. That said, we understand that value perception matters, and your comments have been noted.

We regret that this experience left you with a negative impression. Our team aims to be fair, transparent, and respectful to every customer, and we encourage customers to let us know right away if something doesn’t seem right so we can address it promptly. Did you fine in and if yes, did communicate with the staff your concerns?
We appreciate feedback but if your first response is to run and give 1 star review before even contacting us is hurtful to our brand. Please we are a small business, we're human and have families. Please communicate any concerns directly to the staff so it can be addressed. Other than that your message gets lost in translation.
We wish you the best and thank you again for your feedback.

I wish they didn’t change the recipe of their pies! ): I miss the old crust; there was nothing like the way they used to make it. Ended up tossing most of my pie

Hello Morgan B.,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that changes—especially to long-standing recipes—can be disappointing, and we appreciate that you’ve enjoyed our pies in the past.

That said, we always encourage guests to let us know at the time of their visit if something isn’t to their liking. We are more than happy to address concerns immediately, make adjustments, or offer alternatives when possible. Posting feedback after the fact doesn’t give us the opportunity to resolve the issue in real time.

Recipe refinements are sometimes made to improve consistency, sourcing, or quality, but we recognize that personal preferences vary. Your comments have been noted and shared with our team.

We value constructive feedback and appreciate consideration in how it’s shared, as our goal is always to provide a positive experience for our guests and to make things right whenever we can.

EDIT: Another appointment, another Leo’s Superfood pickup order. 💅 I had a couple online orders that were not made the way I requested since my initial review, however, my online order this past Friday was made correctly to order and it was absolutely perfect in every way, (righting past wrongs)!! I ate my last flapjack warmed with nothing on it the next day; they’re that good! In fact, their pancake recipe is something I legitimately wish I had to emulate at home. Moreover, you can’t go wrong with the tofu breakfast mini burritos!! I get both every time as a creature of habit! Xoxo This place never disappoints! Love stopping here after medical appointments in the area. Wholesome and delicious every time.

I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s vegan and gluten free which is hard to come by. I really do appreciate this. I was coming for years and it was great but it’s definitely changed for the worse. I’d more likely give it 3 stars. My latte didn’t have any vanilla in it, the McMuffin sandwich is not the same as it was just scramble on bread with some mayo sauce and we could have made it at home, and the pancakes were a little burnt and thin. I really hope they fix some of these issues or drastically reduce their prices. We spent $60 on a very simple small breakfast. I hope they figure this out bc Leo’s used to be amazing and could be again. Seems like there’s a lot of 5 star reviews one after another after another within seconds and minutes of each other which seems unfortunate if they are hoping to expand.

Been coming here for years. Ordered the grand slam breakfast from the menu which included a picture of large Italian sausage link. Got the order which did not have the links, but instead siper small black bean patties. Brought it up to server, and was then told the menu item changed under new management but haven't updated the printed menu. Server has been providing great service for years. Management should have updated menu. Listen, I always want to support small businesses, but no worries I can easily make my own from now on if the business is going to nickel and dime customers.

Drove 20 minutes here for nothing waited for about three minutes for the person in front of me to finish ordering then got to the register and was asked to use the kiosk I only come here for protein pancakes, which may I add or not cheap First time using the kiosk took me a little bit to find a pancakes, but when I got to the pancake section, they have no options for protein pancakes so I just left Most health food stores I go into have a very positive environment and your greeted with smiles. This place is the opposite no smiles very negative energy which I don't really care. I just wanted my protein pancakes, but if they're gonna make that hard for me as well they just lost this customer So my recommendation is update your kiosk and put protein pancakes as an option and if you're gonna force people to use a kiosk, make sure the kiosk has all the items uploaded Good luck in the future hopefully you can improve your customer service. Definitely need to work on it. Just like a lot of other places nowadays.

Thank you for your candid feedback. On behalf of the entire team at Leo's Superfood Vegan Cafe, I sincerely apologize that both our food and service fell so far short of your expectations, resulting in a 1/5 rating. We're thrilled that the cafe is often buzzing with energy (addressing the "loud" note), but we never want that energy to come at the expense of comfort or attentive service. We are already reviewing acoustic solutions and implementing immediate staff training to streamline our operations and ensure quick, comfortable dining, even during busy rushes.

The 1/5 rating for our food is deeply concerning, as quality is our absolute priority. We are immediately briefing our kitchen team on this feedback to target the issue. We want to prove that this was an anomaly, and to make it right, please visit us again soon and mention this specific review to any manager on duty. We will gladly cover your entire next meal on the house. Thank you again for giving us the chance to get better and earn back your trust.
