About Leaf Cafe Bistro
Leaf Cafe Bistro is a warm, characterful spot on Essex Road in Islington, serving a genuinely exciting multi-cuisine menu that takes in English, American and Turkish-style breakfasts alongside dishes like shakshuka with sucuk — the kind of food that feels a cut above your average neighbourhood café. The owners clearly care about the place, and if you pop in early on a weekday you might find co-owner Eddie looking after you personally, which sets a lovely tone for a relaxed family meal. Highchairs are available for little ones and the café is buggy-accessible, and there's a kids' menu too; vegan options are on offer for grown-ups with plant-based diets, though there's no outdoor seating or baby changing on site.
