Leo’s leveling up! - Edit
Updating my review because it’s only fair to do so. I revisited for breakfast and wow the breakfast offerings is delicious! It delivered beyond my expectations. The pancakes are so fluffy and flavorful that I couldn’t believe they were GF. The whole Grand Slam plate was tasty except the veg sausage was a bit overdone and dry, but still enjoyable. I am looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu. 💡tip: pay with 💵 and receive a small discount.

Cool little spot that offers some flavorful GF eats.
I ordered through their online portal and the process was was simple and the pickup went smoothly.
I ordered the Pesto Tofu Scramble Wrap with a second gf wrap. When I returned home the additional wrap was missing and the wrap completely fell apart and was a mess. It sucks because I knew about this issue which is why I paid extra for the additional wrapping. The flavor of the ingredients were good and fresh. However it’s not necessarily a good first impression to be charged for an item that wasn’t included in the order and the meal was a complete mess to eat.
On the brighter side the dozen cupcakes I ordered were very flavorful for being GF.
I think the strawberry and vanilla were the favorites.
I’ll have to try this spot again but probably avoid any of the messy wraps.

Delicious comfort food! - Edit
This place is awesome! Breakfast is served all day. We got Leo’s Superfood Burrito, fried loaded w chorizo, and a mushroom and black bean quesadilla, and three meals were perfect. Portions were large. For dessert, we loved the cupcakes—they were super decadent and beautiful. We also tried the no sugar added cinnamon raisin bun, and it was quite good! They have a good selection of coffees, shakes, and other drinks.

SUCH A HIDDEN GEM! - Edit
I discovered Leo’s when I was at CSUN and stopped frequenting it as often when I graduated but I’ve been working in Northridge and am SO glad because I’ve discovered my love for Leo’s!!
Read moreSuch a solid and consistent place. The treats are fanatastic and the VEGAN KETO options are A MIRACLE! it’s hard to find anything vegan keto anywhere else and they’ve got MULTIPLE options - that sometimes includes desserts.
The coffees are great, the service is great. I just love everything I’ve ever gotten there.

Tasty & Quick - Edit
UPDATE: went there a second time October 26, 2023. Ordered two tacos, a breakfast burrito, fries and a chocolate shake. All of these things were highly delectable!
Read moreThis is a very casual, small counter-service restaurant. The owner - David - is very personable and sweet, as is Aud who was working there when I visited today. I asked if Leo was there, and there is no Leo - David just named it that based on Leo the Lion.
I work for HappyCow and presented them with a 5-star window decal that you will see on the photos I added. They were SO happy to receive this!
I ordered the quinoa bowl and it was hot when it got to my table. It was SO delicious! There was a generous amount of avocado on top and the bowl was filled with yumminess. The service is super quick also.
There is seating for 14 inside and 2 outside.
I will definitely go back and order other meals!

Vegan and gluten free! - Edit
I love Leo’s super food vegan café for many reasons. The owner is extremely sweet and amiable. I am signed up for text messages, and there are always good deals on food. I like that they make their own tortillas and have healthier versions of food. They have so many options from breakfast foods, pizzas, wraps, coffees with vegan whip cream, and a big selection of baked goods that vary from day to day. My favorite is the black bean quesadilla and the blueberry donuts! Make sure you eat your food as soon as you order it especially if it is a wrap because if you let it sit, the tortilla will become extremely soggy.

Vegan food with personality - Edit
Eclectic all-vegan eatery in an underserved part of town. Food is tasty and creative. The owner is engaging and knows his vegan cuisine. Not upscale fine-dining, but a mom-and-pop cafe feel with lots of personality. You'll love the paint job. Open since 2018.

Good breakfast - Edit
I like getting breakfast from here. I admit that I’ve only gotten take out orders here, but everything still tastes great by the time it gets to my table. I’m a big fan of gluten, but if you avoid it then this is a great place for you. If they started selling coffee drinks, I would definitely buy those.

All the stars go to Leo’s. - Edit
As a gfv (yes -i know it’s so cliché to start off with that bit of info) it is a rare pleasure to find a place where all the options are both gf and vegan. The food was delicious, there were many choices, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. And let’s just say dessert (we had the maple donut) seemed necessary because it was there and it did not disappoint.

Food was pretty good, we tried the breakfast sandwich and burrito, both were good but fell apart pretty easily. Restaurant is cute and cozy, staff was friendly. We were excited to try the baked goods but didn't enjoy any of the 5 different items we tried. Would definitely go back to try other items.
