A Leap of Taste

Keegan has asked for a more honest review, so here we go. I am a local musician who had been playing this venue for many years. I once frequented this establishment, sometimes multiple times a week, due to this. When I played, I always brought customers with me. Some of them said they came exclusively to see me. I felt welcomed and appreciated. The manager would thank and tip me. The food and drinks were exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I’m sorry to say, Keegan, that those things changed when you took over. I have no personal vendetta against you. The last time I was in was less than a month ago and I most certainly poured out my drink it was so terrible. I don’t feel appreciated there as a musician anymore. I have never received as much as a thank you or even a reciprocated smile from you. I didn’t feel comfortable giving an honest review while I was still playing there. My decision not to play there anymore was based on a combination of mediocre food, terrible mochas time and time again, decline in mood and atmosphere, and dirty looks from you in lieu of gratitude.

My original review: I used to love this place. The vibe has changed so much over the past couple of years and the food has lost its magic. Little details like the fruit and chocolate that used to come on your plate and were such a nice touch are evidence of the cut corners that permeate the mood and menu. Half orders aren’t available anymore. My final visit I poured my mocha out it was so terrible. The place was once pristine any time of day you walked in, but it is not uncommon now to walk into a dirty bathroom or see bus bins filled and tables that show evidence of the diners who sat there before. Live music used to showcase local talent every day of the week. Once upon a time this was my first choice for a healthy meal out, but not anymore.

I moved here from Portland and this is the most like a real Portland coffeeshop I've found in town. The coffee is good, the food is delicious, and it's got a nice vibe.

Cool spot, DELICIOUS lunch. Seriously the best turkey cranberry sandwich I’ve had. And the zippy veggie soup was a yummy compliment. Plus Friendly service. I’ll be back

Great spot to spend some time, food is great and drinks are better. Love getting a matcha latte here.

Awesome place to eat! Right in the heart of downtown and in a great location. They have vegan options and cater to other dietary restrictions. My partner is allergic to strawberries and when he received them with his meal, they gladly remade his order. Customer service was an A+. Also, they have great desert options!

Amazing chef's here at A Leap Of Taste! They serve just about anything. Vegan/Vegetarian friendly! I highly recommend their soup and sandwiches!! Love when they have live bands it's such a cozy heart warming feeling every time I'm in there.

This place is such a gem to stop at while in town. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is beautiful. They had some really healthy and indulgent vegan options, all of which were delicious.

Really nice vibe in the place. I wasn't a fan of the two coffees that's I tried, and the bagel was nothing special. But what I did like was the atmosphere and vibe in the place. I would return and try something different.

Absolutely excellent. I ordered a Matcha Latte and a Chai Latte. Both are very pleasant on the pallet. Lovely atmosphere with lots of cool items for sale.

In my opinion. My favorite place for coffee in Oregon.

Love this place. I said to the lovely employees, "That was the best cup of coffee I ever had!"

Best frittata. Best raspberry oat bar, and best of all—couch and comfortable heating and warm and cozy
