Leaf Cafe & Co

So here’s our story. In 2008, John and his small group of enterprising young & passionate coffee loving blokes came together to launch the first Leaf Café & Restaurant in North Sydney. In the following year, John opened his second store in Berry Street, North Sydney.

Our combined affection to the magic beans was insatiable, and finally in 2011, with the well-timed addition of our coffee roaster, we found a striking roastery in Brookvale to start our Signature Blend.

The SCAA eventually approved the word “Specialty” for our blend; a great accolade given only to the finest high scoring blends and an honour we are very proud of.

We work with passion to collect, study, roast and serve our coffee to the customer’s cups delighting them with every sip. We are also very passionate about honouring the farmers around the world that we make partnerships with who work hard to make it possible for us to deliver such great coffee to the world.

Gratefully people continued to enjoy our delicate chocolatey & fruitful blend along with our exquisite selection of tasty food. John & co gained valuable knowledge and experience at North Sydney’s Leaf Café & Restaurant, so they set to creating a new endeavour with passion.
Our roast works expanded largely in Sydney, opportunities started revealing themselves as our Blend gained popularity and so we “Levelled Up” -Spun our name from Leaf Café & Restaurant to Leaf Café & Co, opening up opportunities for like-minded coffee buffs to join the team. In the end, an innovative franchise system was created so that our caffeinated artistry could delight even more coffee lovers all around the world and allow our fellow coffee aficionados a chance to live the coffee dream. The Leaf Café & Co tagline Experience, Knowledge and Passion was realised after this.

Our team continuously researches the café industry and reads market trends, experimenting with various teas, fruits, coffees and food. Our menu is constantly evolving in partnership with chefs from prestigious backgrounds, well known in the hospitality industry and bring to the table a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion. We also work with tea experts to create unique and refreshing tea beverages to suit every palate.

We’re not a run of the mill, rubber-stamped franchised coffee chain. Each and every new store is uniquely designed with an emphasis on catering for the local community. Our design team carefully craft store plans, create wonderful ambience and construct a gorgeous interior individually for every store. Every store has its own identity, feel and still retains the core Leaf Café & Co heart.

In 2015 following our first franchised shop in Leichhardt, The Ponds, St Clair, Lidcombe, and Rouse Hill shop launched with great success.

In 2016 Pennant Hills, Seven Hills, and Warriewood shops were launched. We are thrilled to see all of you in Warringah Mall, Top Ryde, and more to come!
