Oatmeal can be made vegan - Edit
They were kind to me about my request to make the oatmeal vegan, but there are no official vegan options on the menu. Staff are very nice and I loved the atmosphere!

No longer vegan friendly - Edit
This used to have a sizable and unique menu of vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. Now nothing is marked vegan although there are several marked vegetarian items. I asked the server, and he said the curry was the only vegan dish, and I don't entirely trust that, considering he treated us, and the other patrons, with almost comical disdain. My companion got a meat burger and said it was just average. My curry was pretty good but no real reason to go back, just not for us.

Not a ton of options but what they had was good - Edit
I got a veggie black bean soup which was filling and delicious. It came with garlic bread which they sub’s with plain bread. My husband got a bowl that was very good but nothing special. I love the patio and indoor space atmosphere. Just wish there were more vegan options.

I puked afterwards - Edit
Like it was not very vegan friendly. No vegan cheese or vegan entrees I saw. Just omit cheese and bacon, which is what I did from the black bean burger. I got sick before meal was done and puked when I got home. My body wanted that food out of me. Never eat there again. Basically comfort food anyway.
Read morePros: Seats near a creek out back seating
Cons: Not a lot of vegan choices. just omit cheese, I got sick while eating and puked at home, Waiter, he was creepy

What Happened to this Wonderful Restaurant? - Edit
Greenleaf used to be our go to place for great vegan food. Unfortunately, the pandemic really did a number on this restaurant by reducing the number of vegan options and making the remaining vegan options inedible. We ordered the Soba bowl, but they had run out of the Soba noodles (this was on a Wednesday) and replaced them with undercooked fettuccine noodles. The tofu wrap could not be picked up because it fell apart from being soaked in oil. We really should have sent it back. Probably, one of the most disgusting things we have ever been served in a restaurant. Our son's vegetable noodle dish was minuscule and way over priced. Needless to say, we will never come back to this restaurant. At least, we have our memories of better times there.
Read morePros: Used to be good.
Cons: Slow service, Inedible food, Way over priced

Wow, that's so sad. It's been years since I've been there, but it used to be a must-visit. Such a great location, too. I hope it eventually improves. 🤞🏻

Absolutely Delicious - Edit
Most menu items can be customized to be vegan with amazing herb crusted tofu for protein. The marionberry vinaigrette is to die for!

Greenleaf for a greenfix! - Edit
Perfect stop in the heart of downtown along the water at the entrance to Lithia Park!
Read moreSuper nice lady - practicing safe Covid19 measures - Explained the menu and took our order.
I had the vegan veggie sandwich and hubby had the tuna salad sandwich which he requested grilled. Large servings and both very good.
We seated ourselves upstairs. Too chilly for outdoors but I checked out the patios. Really cute!
Social distancing measures are in place. They only opened back up four days ago for dine-in.
Beautiful interior.
Definitely recommend to get your green fix!!

Nice vegan options - Edit
We have been eating here for a number of years. There is a nice variety of vegan options - not just a black bean burger. I had the yellow curry fried rice with tofu - mildly spicy and well prepared. Followed up with the vegan chocolate cake - always nice to have a vegan dessert choice. Ice tea was never empty and we sat outside by the creek. All around a pleasant experience. It’s on our list of great places to eat in Ashland.

Romantic AF - Edit
My boyfriend and I went to Greenleaf and sat outside with the most beautiful view of the creek. The menu states at the bottom to tell your server about your dietary needs and they were very knowledgeable. The vegan options were clearly marked (and there were a lot of options). The food was so good. I had a peanut satay. My boyfriend (not vegan) was really pleased with his sandwich meal as well. I'm excited to go back and try more.
Read morePros: View of the creek and Ashland's trees!, Vegan options marked clearly, Great food
Cons: They're only open until 8pm, Creekside seating feels more rushed

Great!! - Edit
I had the vegan version of the coconut curry stir fry and my brother had the vegan version of the tofu burger and the vegan black bean chili. All the food we had was very very good. It was delicious. When I said I was vegan, they gave us the vegan menu. So if you are vegan make sure to ask for that. There are many items on the vegan menu. Most of the items are vegan versions of the dishes on the regular menu. I definitely recommend coming to this restaurant if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or if you just eat normal food.

Vegan Menu Added!! - Edit
This has always been one of our favorite places, right on the Plaza in Ashland, with creekside dining in good weather. My wife always orders the spaghetti, but recently she jokingly asked for the VEGAN MENU. And to our delight, the waitress provided one! This must be new, but we love it.
Read moreThe food is amazing. Basically, they have figured out how to make all of their main menu items vegan, so now vegans and vegetarians have lots to choose from. They have an excellent variety of items. I ordered the "Terrific Tofu Burger" vegan style, and my wife ordered a special, which was stuffed acorn squash with wild rice and vegetables. Both were delicious.
As far as I know, this is the only place in Ashland that can provide a full VEGAN MENU.
The other reviews here are quite dated and the negative ones have not been our experience and we have been eating here for years.
Pros: Vegan Menu, Variety, Friendly Service

Totally overated. - Edit
The vegan options for lunch and dinner are extremely limited and all disappointing with the thai tofu "wrap" being biggest failure as it simply falls apart as soon as it's touched (which might be tolerable if the food had any flavor). The breakfast menu consists of mediocre tofu scrambles and... cereal? Really? Plus the menu only indicates vegetarian options and the server's knowledge of what is and isn't vegan is spotty. Don't waste your time or your money.

I liked it - Edit
With the bill came a notice encouraging diners to submit reviews to sites like tripadvisor, happycow, etc. - I don't think I've ever been encouraged to do so. If unsatisfied, it was requested that we email or phone the manager or use the comment card. Nice touch. My comments were all very good to excellent (including the pleasant serving staff), but I did request more vegan items on the menu. There are many vegetarian options but not much vegan. I had a local draft beer and the tofu burger, which is a slab of tofu, dredged in herbs, topped with sauteed onions and served on a warm whole-wheat bun with tomato slices and lettuce, a slice of dill pickle and handful of potato chips on the side. Good, filling and just $8.50.

I knew they had to be pandering to folks to put up good reviews. Thanks for being honest about that.

What are you all talking about? - Edit
You'd expect rolling into this place from all the reviews here that this was a really good place and you'd be able to get a decent meal. They had 2 things on the menu that were vegan. How does a solid veg place not cater to vegans as well? The one thing the waitress said was not very good, an acquired taste. The waitress was great, kept my coffee filled. Thats the only good thing about this place. Although Pilaf has meat, they had more vegan options than this place. The tofu scramble I had was gross. They had to give me a french bread since no breakfast breads were vegan. The taters were not good either. I am not sure what all the awesome reviews are for. My lady love similarly was unimpressed w her eggs.

As the owner/manager for 23 years i appreciate the feedback. A few comments are in order...
Read more1-we are not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant...we offer a wide variety of choices to please any diet.
2-our breakfast menu lists quite a few vegan items you must have overlooked...organic/vegan polenta, organic/vegan kasha(buckwheat is an acquired taste but delicious), organic brown rice, organic oatmeal, organic granola w/organic soy milk,organic local bagels, grilled organic tofu, sauteed fresh veggies and of course the tofu scramble which we think is fantastic.
3-our lunch and dinner menu also includes the following vegan items...hummus appetizer,tofu satay, french fries, always 1 or 2 vegan soups, our vegan salad, any of our 20+ salads (ordered without meat or dairy), tofu fajita wrap, thai tofu wrap, 3 tofu burgers, hummus sandwich, veggie sandwich, avo sandwich, pasta primavera, spaghetti marinara,rice and veggies, teriyaki or satay rice and veggies, baked potaotes with grilled mushrooms or vegetables in addition to our daily specials.
So, come check us out...after 23 we still seem to please most everyone...remember, we are not a vegan restaurant...we are known for our extensive menu...lots of choices. thanks...daniel

As a vegan for 13 years who has eaten coast to coast let me tell you in case you want more truthful feedback that this was one of the grossest meals I ever ate, which I did so only because it cost as much as it did.
Read more1~ I didn't "overlook" anything. I asked both the hostess and the server who both in turn asked the cook. How is that "overlooking" anything if I straight up ask your people what is the deal? Maybe if your attitude was less the way it is and more informative to your own staff than you would not have to be here defending such terrible dining experiences.
1~Just because you want to list something on the menu, it isn't for me to extrapolate from it if you use dairy in your preparations. Similarly, if you trained your staff, from the hostess, servers and cooks, to learn what is vegan on your menu, you would NOT need to use this helpful resource of a website to advertise your menu.
2~ You need to tell the cook to stop using dairy, if he says it isn't vegan, then usually he would be the one to know and it ain't close to being vegan by a far stretch. Maybe he decided to stray from your longstanding recipes.
3~ I did check you out, and other than the bad food, the sleepy morning music made it a such a drag I felt like I was there multiple times. Or is that just how you wanted to end your infomercial?
NEVER EVER again!!!!

The best on the plaza! - Edit
I have lived in Ashland for seven years, and Greenleaf is one of my favorite restaurants. Throughout the years, their staff has always been consistant with their menu knowledge and friendliness. Thier food has many choices, more than are even on the menu. Anyway you want or need something made, Greenleaf can make it. Greenleaf is the best pick on the plaza for any meal, breakfast (til noon), lunch, or dinner.
