A Leap of Taste

Amazing food and drinks! Both healthy and tasty, with a beautiful, authentic atmosphere! We stopped by on our way to Mt. Hood, and were extremely pleased. The house-made kombucha and raspberry oatmeal bars were a special treat. If I could give more than five stars, I would!!! :)

Vegan, gluten-free, and local-type foods seem to be the specialty of Leap of Taste. However, I usually order more typical food-and it tastes great. Fresher than normal, the smoothies in particular taste better than the average ones. They give you a small piece of chocolate and a slice of fruit with your meal, and they also have awesome desserts. I’ve heard others make specific requests because of some severe allergies and the staff were able to cater to the order. Not just food-they have cool handmade art for sale.

Great vibe, loved the guitar playing singer. All their house made kombuchas were offline,.that's the only reason for minus one.

This place is the kind of place I put my phone down. The staff and regulars are pleasantly talkative. I'll talk with them or just listen to them talking above the subtle music while sipping my delicious tea. The food is so good, I actually want to just pay attention to my palate.

It's a place I can slow down and just enjoy my morning.

I love everything about this place. Management is always working in the am just as hard as everyone else. I love the soups and the delicious gluten free snacks.

A bit too much attention paid to expensive, pretentious merchandise (think Patagonia and Yeti and 6 different LEAP stickers?) and too little time spent preparing quality food and beverage. I found a Leap of Taste to be quite underwhelming. It was expensive, there was a line and, in my opinion, the food and the coffee took longer than it should have so wasn’t very hot. The coffee/lattes were not good - I would think those are rather hard for a breakfast place not to do well. I had a turtle cookie that I would describe more as chocolate chip oatmeal which was a disappointment. I had a Russian Tea Cake that was very good but cost $1.50 for about 4” in diameter.
I’m giving A Leap Of Taste 3 ⭐️ because of the rustic interior, the potential, the Saturday Farmer’s Market across the street and the quaint location.
Bottom line: Go down the street. There were a few other cute breakfast places.
EDIT JULY 13: A Leap of Taste made a very professional good-faith effort by contacting me and apologizing for my less than satisfactory visit and providing a refund. I was very impressed, and will give A Leap if Taste another try.

Great concept and community based approach to supporting reentry. However, the coffee was too bright for my taste and they got both of my drinks wrong.

Excellent pastries with lots of vegan or vegetarian options in that is what you prefer. Good sandwiches and pleasant live music. There is also kombucha teas for purchase. Overall a nice little coffee shop with good food and a nice atmosphere. Options to sit at tables counters or couches.

Leap of Taste is a great locally owned sandwich and coffee shop. Foodies will love the flavor combinations while the health conscious will find lots to choose from and they have great vegetarian and gluten free options. They also offer specialty cheeses and chocolates as well as organic bulk foods. The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic with large dining tables and couches.

Leap of taste is a must see. They provide a relaxing environment to meat up with friends or for a quiet lunch date. Exceptional food, good coffee, and kombucha on tap. Everyone will find something to please them. Many vegan and gluten free soups as well.
