When I saw my neighbor break out the ladder and the paint on my corner last year, I have to admit I was EXTREMELY apprehensive about what was to follow. He had a small team of calloused-looking guys, so I knew they were taking this “project” rather seriously. Little did I know, that this “project” would turn out to be “Five Leaves.”
Great, I thought at first. There goes the freedom to walk…

Why your support matters
So good running into you last night girl. And I have to concur I loved the Five Leaves burger, too.
BF and I went on Sunday. We shared a meat plate and the homemade ricotta. YUM. And then we both had Hangar steaks, a little tough but tasty. On the whole, a great experience. The service was a little slow and the price on the high side for our humble hood but a quick walk down the street!
Wish they would fix the kitchen exhaust from blowing into the dining area – it creates soo much heat and stink.
youre in luck! they actually were closed yesterday and will be again today in order to fix the ‘heat and stink’ problem…i guess the hood over the stove wasnt working properly, so they are having a new one installed so we wont have to smell like grass fed cows when we leave…
yay! noticed that the gates were closed the other night, that mush have been it. I thought they would figure it out – just normal opening day bumps.
I had an espresso there and it was amazing. The best I’ve had in the city.
love this place! had dinner tonight. great cafe vibe. not fancy but the food was awesome…hot staff too!
Thanks Kea. Judd is not always so nice and not everyone is so keen on the gentrification of the neighborhood.
