Sugar Leaf Bakery, Cafe & Espresso

A charming little eatery with soups, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, and coffee. My go-to order is the village combo with their AMAZING creamy chicken and wild rice soup and either the Reuben or the mesquite chicken sandwich. The food is delicious but the portions are a little small but that is perfect if you want a light lunch! The cinnamon roll is large, soft, and served warm and it just might be my favorite cinnamon roll in town. I also enjoy their peanut butter kiss cookie. The s’mores cookie is tasty too but can be messy to eat! The dining area is very cute but can be slightly crowded when they are really busy but they do have some outdoor seating as well.

We originally stopped in for a fresh bakery snack. We ended up ordering a chicken, strawberry, feta salad to split between us. It had good flavor and a good presentation. Just enough with our snack to tide us over till dinner. My wife picked the always delicious rice crispy treat. It was huge. I went with the Blueberry Muffin, which they warmed for me. All of the baked goods would make anyone happy. My wife also has a London fog, cold. This was our only complaint, it wasn't very good.but they do have a full coffee shop attached. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the place has a nice atmosphere.

Went specifically for the s'mores cookie and it did not disappoint. It was ahhhmaazing! If you are a fan of chocolate and marshmallows get here with a quickness. Everything in the case looked delicious, was tempted by the pies. Seemed to be a popular lunch place as it was very busy when we came. Definitely would come back to try lunch. Iced coffee was great. Was a perfect place for a little pick me up.

Not sure why they removed some of the amazing decor, but they should put it back. It's looking less beautiful and more generic. The stark coffee side is sad and I hope they stop stripping this side of It's elegance. What happened to the lemon water? Soggy bread that isn't the same tomato bread. My heart is sad. I was really craving Sugar Leaf. Next time we can just go to Panera.

10/10 best BLT I’ve ever had. Basil bread was a nice touch. I was expecting the house sauce to be something sweet, lucky for me it wasn’t. It was more of a mild aïoli. It complimented the sandwich well. The bacon was nice and crispy and the tomato was fresh. My friend and I, who had the BLT as well, were completely silent once we started eating. I had the Beach Water Lemonade to drink. Sadly it was too sour to enjoy. It was like they forgot the sugar in the lemonade, but the sandwich was so good it made up for it.

Great spot for coffee/breakfast on the strip! It's in the outdoor shopping mall behind Mel's Hard Luck Diner and is very worth the visit! Cinnamon roll was massive, soft, and delicious! Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is fantastic!

SugarLeaf is the perfect breakfast spot! The food is fresh and delicious, the coffee is smooth and flavorful, and the service is quick and friendly. The cozy atmosphere makes it just as great for a fast bite as it is for a relaxing morning. Highly recommend!

This is THE brunch spot you must try! Great menu. Delicious food. Quaint decor with a touch of Euro atmosphere. Try the chicken salad sandwich on baked pita bread! Crunchy sandwiches are supreme! Try anything for dessert - everything is spectacular! My new GO2 when in Branson! Super kind staff as well. ♥️

Cute little bakery and cafe nestled in a shopping center. You order at the counter then take a number and they bring you your food. The gal recommended the chicken salad. It's usually served on a pita cracker but I opted to get it on their homemade dill bread. It was delicious! Great combination of sweet from the cranberries and salty from the mustard. Huge chunks of chicken. I couldn't resist the sweets so I got the campfire cookie which was also yummy. Such a cute and quaint bakery. Would definitely stop here again if I'm ever back in Branson!

Adorable spot for lunch! This would be a cute venue to host a bridal shower. It has a cute tea, garden vibe. We really came for dessert but enjoyed lunch too. I brought 2 of my son's with me and was bummed to find the hotdog was no longer in the menu. We had the chicken salad sandwich, a cuban, chili, turkey sandwich, grilled cheeses were all good. The kid's meal is only half a sandwich but comes with fruit and a cookie. I would come back but would probably leave my hungry boys at home.

Located in one of the many shopping areas in Branson, Sugar Leaf stands out not just because of the comfortable environment and friendly staff, but I was made one of the BEST iced chai lattes I have ever had. They are a little pricey but it is good value.

Do yourself a favor and get the s'mores cookie!!! It was life changing lol. We found this gem tucked away in a little shopping center that I had no idea existed. However, we will definitely be back! Christmas village vibes for sure. Sugar Leaf was beautifully decorated inside and prices were pretty decent for what you get. I would've like to have tried all of their pastries but am so glad I got the s'mores cookie. You order at a counter and the staff bring the orders pretty quickly and provided friendly service. 10/10 would recommend

We stopped here when we visited Branson with my in-laws, and I was sad we only got to go once during our trip. The inside is welcoming, with plenty of seating, and the coffee was delicious. Coffee shop on one side and dessert/pastry shop on the other. Apparently they have the best homemade marshmallows and Rice Krispie treats ever, but sadly, we didn't get to go back for those. Their hours were very odd and they weren't open early in the morning like most coffee shops I'm used to, so it didn't work with our itinerary to make it back. This spot is definitely worth stopping into though!

Great little place to grab a quick bite. This is probably my favorite lunch spot in Branson. Super cute interior on both the cafe side and the coffee side.

Good service. Super helpful and friendly staff and decent French press coffee. Enjoyed sitting in the restaurant side.

Wonderful food, kind barista, and a delicious lavender & Irish cream latte! I wish I could remember the name of the barista with the dark hair but she was so sweet and her drink recommendation was perfect! For lunch I had the village combo where you pick two. I chose the Fig and Apple harvest salad (amazing!!!!) and a half sandwich. The dill bread was so yummy. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was pretty packed when we went but the wait for the food was worth it! My only comment to management. Lift the hanging light near the back of the restaurant! Your servers were having to precariously avoid it repeatedly while running out food since it was at head height without any tables under it. Seems like an accident waiting to happen! I saw the lamp and the servers swerving, and ducking repeatedly to avoid it. Thought of my grandmother telling me about Murphy's law! (If you're not familiar with it, it's an adage that states what can go wrong will go wrong). Murphy's law aside, ;) the food is delicious and we will definitely be eating here again! :)

Location was hard to find, but enjoy walking around the area. The ambiance and food made up the frustration we felt trying to find the restaurant.

They always have the best cinnamon rolls and treats, my wife's favorite place to go! Thanks!

Cheesecake is so good. The s'more cookie. Was good but not like the cheesecake. The cheesecake was Soooooo gooooood.

Adorable European style cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Order up front and they will deliver it to you. We were on a weekend getaway with our celiac daughter so in search of good gluten free options. We found delicious bread and desserts here for her. I enjoyed a delicious latte and a homemade dill bread (not GF) tuna sandwich. Bread was amazing!!! Tuna was average and could use a little something. But overall, we had a lovely time.

I went for breakfast and ordered the breakfast sandwich and lavender lemonade. Both were excellent!

We walked in at 3:30. They close at 4:00. No customers in the store and 3 girls behind the counter. They saw us walk over to the coffee side where we were looking at the drink menu. The sign on that side said register was closed and to go to the bakery side to place order. When we went to order our drinks less than five minutes later we were informed that the girl who makes the coffee was on break and they wouldn't be serving coffee before closing. They were clearly ready to go home and couldn't care less they had customers. One girl was already mopping floor in front of ordering line. If a store advertises they close at a certain time the store should serve customers who come at least 30 minutes prior to advertised time. We probably weren't the only customers they missed a sale on. We had lunch here 2 years ago when visiting Branson and food was good and it is a cute place. We were looking forward to trying it again on this visit but we were sadly disappointed by the customer service or lack therof.

My latte was delicious and made at the perfect temperature. The s'mores cookie looked better than it tasted. It was underwhelming. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and I recommend the ultimate BLT. You order at the counter and then sit with a number so in that sense the service was attentive. However, I never received my cookie. Some people got their coffee after the meal and that felt a little weird. I was super confused by the yelp photos bc one half looks woodsy and the other looks clean and crisp, but once you enter you realize one side is the coffee shop and one side is the kitchen. We ordered both food and coffee form the kitchen side. It's like one restaurant with the kitchen/register in the middle and the seats are on the outskirts. I've never seen anything like it & thought it made for a cool atmosphere. You get to enjoy 2 scenes in a way that makes sense.

We came here for breakfast but were too late so we had lunch instead (breakfast ends at 11am). We started at the coffee bar and my husband and I both ordered blended lattes. I had the Baker's Best and my husband had the Treat Yourself. They were both blended to perfection. The Treat Yourself was super delicious and the Baker's Best was good, just a little to cinnamon flavor for my liking. My friend ordered a London Fog but they unfortunately did not know how to make it properly. We all had Paninis and they were all amazing. They were small for the price but very delicious. I had the mesquite chicken and my husband had the Cuban. Both were delicious. The workers were all super friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was so fun. I highly recommend!

This place is cute, cozy and smells amazing! The coffee is some of the best I've had around here, and it was even decaf...which a lot of coffee shops seem to have a hard time pulling. I got one of their warm chicken sandwiches (can't remember the name) and it was pretty good, although the check was a little high considering I only got a coffee and a sandwich...but I'll definitely come back for just coffee and the atmosphere! Plus the gals there are so nice. I'm excited to go back to write and sip some good espresso.

Grrrrrrr! This place is terrible. At least the service. It says it is a 30-45 minute wait but we waited for 2 hours. We got there and they said they were out of the soup we wanted, chicken and WAY more. It also has a 30-40 minute LINE. It has nice seating and the cookies are good. And it still is 15 minutes now. WE MADE A BIG MISTAKE. We are eating at 3:00 we got there at 1!!! But maybe the food will be good. But otherwise we need a REFUND. By Toby's daughter

Hidden Gem way on the back side of the Village by the Aquarium. The sandwiches are to die for. I always get the Cuban with the amazing chicken rice soup. The connecting coffee shop is so convenient. If you like hot cocoa, this is the place, extraordinaire!! The line is slow but worth the wait.

Very unique feel and excellent food. The chicken and wild rice soup was the best I've ever had.

Vanilla latte was great! Went for gluten free pastries but they didn't have any. Also tried the flavor of the month latte (turtle) which was good but not as good as the vanilla one.

This is a small cafe with lots of tables. Very cozy feel - food is pretty good. We got breakfast, they don't know how to make eggs, but everybody enjoyed the baked goods. limited menu for bfast. It's a coffee ship tho. Place could be organized better, but staff was friendly and helpful-

Out of most foods, but great coffees and drinks. Service was fine and ambiance was quaint and warm!

We enjoyed trying this cool coffee shop in Branson among the cutest shopping village. It is attached to a cafe/deli too which I didn't experience but the coffee side has my full vote. There were 2 ladies working that were doing a fantastic job making the individual drinks. The drinks were fantastic but it did take a lot longer than other coffee shops I've been to. With that said I would rerun!

So second day here for breakfast! Decided to try a little more eclectic place! It doesn't open until 10:00 AM so we had a little wait. The weather was gorgeous here 72 with no humidity! Where we live in Texas it's like 89 to 95 with heat index of 104 or much higher this time of year but I digress! It's a stand up counter with a large overhead menu! A little awkward when you have never been there before! They have indoor and outdoor tables! Only serve breakfast for an hour till eleven but we ordered a giant breakfast sandwich which consisted of a very large homemade biscuit with scrambled eggs and crisp sriracha bacon which had a great hot kick! Also ordered a swiss turkey quiche. No crust of any kind. It was ok but not great by any means. Also a rather meager portion. Hence the 4 stars! A caramel macchiato was very good and of course (lol) everyone eats individual cherry cheese cake for breakfast! Homemade and quite rich! Tab was about $26 including taxes. A tad steep for not a full sized breakfast. Definitely worth a try!

Super cute eclectic place. Very homey feeling and a little cramped, but you don't care. Also great outdoor patio option as well. Food was excellent and tasty. Staff was friendly. My only problem was the breakfast menu was not available after 11am...on a Saturday. How is this not illegal? I mean...weekend brunch is a must. Okay, I am being dramatic, but my heart did die a little when breakfast was not an option anymore. I ordered a London fog, but sadly they have not been trained how to accurately make one so it was ehhhh. I would come back.

The food and atmosphere was good. The inside of the restaurant is really nice looking and the outdoor seating are was comfortable with shaded tables. They were VERY SLOW. Seems like they were understaffed, we were the second people in line and waited about 10 minutes to be helped. There was no ice in the fountain ice dispenser, so for refills and for drinks we had to go up to the counter and ask for ice each time. There's really not a place to walk up easily and stand to ask for ice so you feel like you're kind of cutting in the line each time. The cakes and cheesecake etc. looked amazing but we didn't eat any of it.

Light snacks, great drinks, great coffee, friendly staff. Try the sweet cream cold brew and the blackberry lemonade.

Walked in about 12:05 before our massage appointments at 1pm because we just needed a little something light before dinner later. We ordered 2 bowls of the creamy chicken and rice soup and 2 lavender lemonades. We figured ordering that we could be out in about 30 to 40 minutes right??? Since I own my own restaurant, The first thing I noticed was the restaurant was about 80% full but no one had food on their tables. I told my friend we might be rushing. Well we were. The soup never came until 12:32pm. The young lady delivering our food said they were making our lemonade and would have it right there. Let's just say after watching the cashier and the barista laugh and have a good ole time they were bringing our lemonades out as we were leaving. We had finished our meal. Personally I would fire employees who couldn't get drinks out before the meal. I was actually in line to get my money back when they brought the lemonades. Had I not been in a hurry I would have gotten my money back and they could have kept the lemonades. Sugar leaf. Yall really missed the mark today. Your food is good but your customer service and beverage service stinks!!!

Great little cafe with many selections and fantastic flavors! We had the tuna sandwich and chili, a matcha tea with Sugar free peach and a cookie! Not one disappointing item in the bunch! I encourage to try it, you WILL return!

They made this cake exactly like the picture I sent them. It was very reasonably priced and very delicious.

We stopped solely for coffee. Drop coffee was $5 for self serve coffee from a thermos. They also were out of half and half.

We have been coming to Branson for almost 10 years and Sugar leaf is our stop every time for minimally one of our meals while here. The food is delicious and we enjoy the salads, soups, and sandwiches. However, on our trip this year, the service was unacceptable. It's the week before Christmas so there are lots of people out shopping and eating. There wasn't a long line when we came in (2 parties before us) but we waited for over an hour for our food to arrive. My parents were with us and ordered AFTER my family. They received their food first (which we thought was ok because it was 2 of them and 3 of us). But when they were almost DONE eating - i went to the woman taking out the order and asked her about our order. She said she would check on it - but even though she was standing there at the counter where the food comes out when I asked her - she never asked anyone about it. As I watched her (she was busy working but totally NOT concerned about us) she never looked into what was the status of our order. So after about 10 more minutes waiting - I went back to the counter and asked the people preparing the food - they had NO record of our order. He asked me what we ordered and I told him. He said they would get it together. After about another 10 minutes (he came out 2 more times asking about what we ordered) we finally got our food. My parents had finished a long time before. The worst part was that NO ONE ever said, I'm so sorry about that. Apologies go a long way. I don't know who's in charge or feels responsible for good customer service - but no one seemed to care.

Like most of Branson they're understaffed, so be kind and patient. It's worth the wait! We enjoyed a breakfast sandwich, BLT, and a slice of cake. We also had brewed coffee and a latte. The barista was making drinks for both sides all by herself and she was still so sweet and making tasty drinks as fast as she could.

Lovely little coffee and brunch/lunch spot! Food was served hot. The biscuit was HUGE and was made fresh that day. Mouth watering! It was topped with an egg and siracha bacon and some sort of aioli. I got the seasonal pecan pie latte and my friend got the toasted marshmallow latte. Very delicious! The staff works very hard but during peak breakfast or lunch times the cafe can get very busy and orders can take a long time - so prepare to wait!

This place is great! We were on vacation and tried this place the first morning we arrived. We went back 3 days in a row. The coffee is delicious and the food is simple yet delightful. Each day we had something different and never disappointed!

Such a beautiful bakery! It's located in such a fun shopping center. This was my first time ever being there. My friend and I really enjoyed it.

Very crowded so be prepared for a line. Unfortunately my Almond Joy cake wasn't that flavorful. Great menu. Wish I could have tried more items.

So, I've been in Branson and the surrounding area for a week now, and if I'm being honest, the food has been just OK. But heading here for breakfast this morn changed my mind a bit. In a sea of tourist traps, this join stands out. In a week, this biscuit breakfast sandwich was the best thing I've eaten. The coffee was dope, and the pastries are delicious. The decor is nice; it doesn't feel kitchy like most places around here. Real good food, served by really nice people.

So cozy and so quaint. The vibes here are so comfy and inviting. The food was so good. I loved their BLT. There are Togo boxes if you don't finish your whole meal and I love that. I got the campfire cookie as well and it was to die for. So gooey and so good. Can't wait to come back to try more items on the menu

Absolutely Delicious! This cafe is so cute and cozy. We were looking for something on the lighter side for lunch and this hit the spot. My husband had the Pastrami sandwich and I had the Mesquite chicken. Both were delicious. We even went back for some equally delicious coffee after doing some shopping Highly recommend this place if you're visiting Branson.

Sandwiches were delicious!! No wait, small dining room, but we were able to find a seat for 5 quick.

4.5 stars. Why not 5? Their crazy long and inefficient line to order food and drinks. I came around 11 am on a busy Saturday and the line wasn't super long but it took forever. They need to separate out lines for drinks and food, or do something/anything to improve this process. The decor is so lovely and enchanting, you feel like you've been transported to another location. Also, while you wait in line you nearly drool over their appetizing desserts. Smart thinking on their part. When you order, you are given a number and they bring the food directly to your table. From placing my order, it took about 10 minutes for my food to be delivered. I ordered the half grilled cheese panini and the chicken and wild rice soup. The soup was rich and creamy, and so clearly homemade. There was a generous amount of delicious chicken included in my small bowl, which was fresh and tasty. The grilled cheese was good, nothing super special and could have been just a tad bit warmer. This is a great place to meet up with friends and grab some food, take children of all ages and/or sit down alone and read a book. Although, there aren't too many tables, so don't sit too long!

Beautifully decorated interior. Air conditioning not working, so super hot inside their building. Great service. The sugar-free flavoring in our frappes had a strong aftertaste. Our peanut butter cookie was delicious!

Good fresh food and sweet treats too. Eat inside or outside and people watch Dessert case is beautiful.

Vibe was weird, like a 2015 youth group. food and coffee was good but they were out of one of the things we wanted. Got a smoothie instead and it was undrinkable. Location kind of inconvenient as well.

Cleans-Polite staff-decent sandwiches and desserts. This is a nice place to stop and have a nice meal or snack. We sat outside under an umbrella table and the atmosphere was perfect. It's nothing that blows you away but very serviceable. Expect to wait 5-10 minutes for your order.

I have had sandwiches here that were delicious, and some soup that was very good. Today my husband and I went for salad and we were so disappointed. He had the pita chicken salad and it was just tiny, hardly even the size of an appetizer, very little chicken and mostly mayonnaise and apples. I had the beet salad and it was so full of red cabbage that all I could taste was the cabbage. We were so disappointed.

I had to take my family here after seeing all of the reviews and wow, I'm so glad we got the key lime pie to share. I was offset by the color (it's more tan than green) but that didn't matter at all. It was creamy and perfectly tart. The presentation was beautiful with a purple flower perched on top of HOMEMADE whipped cream-- not from a can. The crust was of great consistency. My picky eating brother even had a few bites. Oh, and the warm, comforting, homelike atmosphere was a great resting place from our long day. People who complain about the long line: this is Branson as well as a destination/tourist area (The Grand Village). You must expect to wait in a line during PEAK HOURS and on the WEEKENDS. Don't poorly rate a restaurant based on the line. There's a line because people enjoy the food JUST like you.
