The Leaf

If you are into healthy food and a quiet, sedate atmosphere — this place is pretty good. Food is sooo healthy and even vegans will be at home.

Good selection of teas and brewing equipment. Would like a better way to sample their teas.

I am in love with the Leaf, a cozy little tea shop on the West End of downtown. It’s a bit out of the way and nondescript, so I hope it’s able to survive because I love this place.
The Leaf is a store dedicated to all things tea. They sell pots and other accessories, of course, but best of all they have a wall of house-​blended teas, along with boxed teas available for purchase. The owner is very nice and helpful, and sometimes they’ll have samples of their teas out for tasting.
I’m addicted to their Lapsung, and many of their other blends are tasty as well. And if you bring your tin tea can back for a refill they give you a disount. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel better about yourself for having shopped there.
