Leaf Cafe in Top Ryde shopping centre is located in the kids precinct and primarily caters for parents with young children. Expect to hear frequent screams from kids playing in the nearby pen. Despite how busy the cafe was on a Monday morning, the service was quick and my avocado toast was served in about 5 minutes. It was a pleasant dish, a moderate size serving with the added twist of sprouts, Spanish onion and the occasional heirloom tomato. This cafe is recommended.

Ordered two coffees a couple weeks ago, they were great. However I caught one of the female staffs roll her eyes after calling out my order (iced caramel oat latte) when I took my time walking up to get my order. Why would you do that? It made me honestly sad. I don’t think anyone would appreciate an attitude just like that. It’s not like I was gone for half an hour before fetching my order and made you wait. But coffee is nice. Thank you.

I’ve visited this restaurant several times, and the pasta has always been very good. However, the service was disappointing. When we ordered three pastas, they were served one by one, not together: the first came on time, the second was delayed, and the third came much later. On top of that, I ordered an extra drink, but it still hasn’t been brought, even after I paid. Overall, the food quality is good, but the service definitely needs improvement.

We had scrambled eggs on sourdough toast and B.L.A.T. Food arrived promptly. The quality of food was good and the servings are generous. Located right next to a children's playground. The coffee and service were great. Highly recommend.

Food was well presented, however, both dishes were overly salty. Drinks were good though. Service could have been better. Dining atmosphere was okay, just a little noisy due being close proximity to kids play area within the shopping centre.

Great service, innovative brunch food, great coffee.. staff are very friendly always smiling. One star less only cos the surrounding can get very noisy with a play area adjacent - but can’t complain otherwise. Must visit if you’re in Top Ryde.

Review of Leaf Cafe at Top Ryde Shopping Centre:
⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Recently visited Leaf Cafe at Top Ryde Shopping Centre. I ordered their Avocado on Toast for breakfast, but was somewhat disappointed this time around. The quality seems to have dropped since my last visit - previously, the food was notably better. The toast wasn't as crispy as I remember, and the avocado needed more seasoning to bring out its flavor.
The coffee remained consistently decent - nothing exceptional but satisfactory for a shopping centre cafe. It was served at the right temperature with appropriate strength.
While the cafe's location is convenient for shoppers, it's disappointing to see the inconsistency in food quality between visits. What used to be a reliable spot for breakfast has become hit-or-miss. The decline in quality is particularly noticeable compared to my previous experiences here.
Overall, while still acceptable for a quick shopping centre bite, they seem to be struggling to maintain their previous standards. Hopefully, they can return to their former level of quality soon.

Came here with a friend, and she chose this cafe because there is an indoor play ground for kids, so she can have some time to herself while her 6 yo have a fun time playing with other little ones.
The coffee tastes nice, and the stuff are very friendly. I'm giving 4 star because the froth on the latte is a bit too bubbly as seen in the photos, but apart from that everything was great.
If you like loud ambient noise, then this cafe is perfect since it's next to a kid play ground.

While I’m well aware that prices have gone up these days, I was shocked at how small the kids’ spaghetti portion was when I ordered it. I complained, but they insisted it was the same as the usual portion, well-portioned at 100g. After just five big forkfuls, it was gone… $16 simply disappeared. More

Really lovely place, didn’t expect such good food from a cafe in a mall. Coffee is great too. Loved all our vegetarian dishes like the corn fritters with avocado/cucumber dressing Mushrooms were so well seasoned on the toast. Staff were very nice too.
