Leaf Cafe Bistro

About Leaf Cafe Bistro

Leaf Cafe Bistro brings warm French-bistro styling and multi-cuisine breakfasts to Essex Road, with big windows for people-watching and a rustic-green decor that regulars say feels cosy despite the space. Co-owner Eddie and chef Ozzy run a tight ship — often just the two of them, serving everything from full English with halloumi and smashed avocado to shakshuka with sucuk that one visitor called "perfect, jammy eggs, so tasty." The Mediterranean breakfast gets praise for fresh ingredients, and the spinach omelette with mushrooms comes out fluffy and generous. Prices are notably reasonable for N1, with poached eggs cooked to order and decent vegan options. Highchairs and buggy space make it workable for families. Reviewers note that Eddie goes off-menu to accommodate requests, and the place has been around for three decades under various names, a proper neighbourhood anchor for early-morning breakfasts or lazy weekend brunches.
