Unfortunately we did not have a great experience here today. We came in on our lunch break which is 1 hour long - usually plenty of time to eat in Blackwood as we are locals. We were not greeted to start with and could not find menus, there was only 1 person working and he was doing the cooking, taking of orders & cleaning all on his own. Once we were ready to order we were made to wait at the counter for a long time although the chef could see us he was busy cooking. When we did get served and put in our order we were told that some things weren't available and that our order was one of them. After having waited 15 minutes already to order we decided to stay and ordered something else. The drink I ordered was expired in January of 2021. There were 2 people ahead of us awaiting their meals and our food was still not out at 1.20pm - 45 minutes after our arrival. We then went to the counter and asked if our meals could be put in take away containers as we were running late to get back to work. We were told no because the takeaway containers are too small? Which is a bit odd for a cafe that offers takeaway and these were regular items on their menu. Then we we were told maybe one of the meals but not the other. We were eventually told it would be put in a takeaway container. We spent our entire lunch break waiting for food so were unable to eat. Once we did get to eat, the food tasted good but the chicken was burnt, the vegetables had grease dripping from them and the rice was dry. The 1 person who was doing everything was clearly overwhelmed hence the quality of the food was sub-par. The service was disappointing, the time it took was not acceptable and overall it was a very poor experience. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

New owner, exciting new Egyptian menu (the only place serving Egyptian food in Adelaide) and new décor. The place is very cozy. Its off the main road, so its more private. A great place to eat, drink and relax with friends or family or have a quite time by yourself. The food is amazing. They have a range of classic Australian food as well, like big breakfast, homemade soup etc and a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free food. Plenty to choose from for yourself and the kids. There is a kids corner with all sorts of toys. The undercover area outside is comfy and ideal for people bringing their pets. Staff are very friendly and provide good service. Makes people feel welcome and it feels more like going to a friend's/family's place for hearty home cook meals and relaxing.

My husband and I went to The Little Leaf and Been Cafe and spend a relaxing morning sitting outside in the sun☀️. The owner, Taz, was very welcoming and friendly, made us a really nice coffee ☕ and had a selection of honest yummy food on the menu for breakfast and lunch (including vegan, vegeteranien and gluten free options). We brought our dog with us, we saw others come with friends, kids or bikes... Taz catered for us all. I had an absolutely amazing omelette for breakfast there (it filled me up for most of the day), others had delicious pancakes, Egyptian Big Breakfast with tofu (veg/vegan) or just freshly roasted coffee. Taz serves it with a caring smile and friendly chat!

This is a lovely little cafe tucked away from the main road. The assortment of Egyptian food is delicious, especially the Egyptian breakfast and Koshari. You can wash down the scrumptious food with great coffee, I would especially recommend the Vietnamese iced coffee. The new owners have recently done up the place and it has a very welcoming ambiance. Lots of tables outside and heaps of place to park your bike if you ride. If you are looking for something a little different this is the place to go!

Had a Korean style toasted sandwich which was very tasty but a little overpriced at $16. Very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

A beautiful little cafe with a well shaded and quiet courtyard just outside the chaos of the local shops. Authentic Vietnamese style iced coffee will wake you up! The Egyptian breakfast and lunch menu is brimming with fresh vegetables, rich sauces and generous portions.

Arrived with a small group to celebrate a family member’s birthday a few weeks ago. Service was hospitable and friendly from the moment we walked in. Our needs were catered for, food is tasty and the serves are decent. We will return again someday.

Such a friendly, courteous service. The food is nice, the coffee and tea are tasty. But it is the staff that will keep me coming back here.

The Little Leaf & Bean is an AMAZING cafe tucked away in Blackwood. The “vibe” is welcoming and calm, the menu is delicious, the service is quick, efficient and friendly, and the coffee is one of the best in Blackwood - true story! And if

Lovely little cafe. Delicious coffee and tea. We visited this morning and had a tofu scrambled. One of the owners is Egyptian and the flavours of Egypt have been brought into this cafe - delicious!

Very friendly little cafe. Coffee is good. They have drive through coffee around the back. It was a bit hard to find but they are going to improve it. I look forward to trying the food next!

Beautiful Authentic Egyptian food. You can feel the Egyptian soul is in every corner. The owner cooks the food himself and he is really friendly, generous and a kind man. Highly recommended

First time experiencing Egyptian food and impressed with the flavours! Recommend the Egyptian breakfast, grilled chicken platter, and homemade chili sauce made with peanut butter!

Terrible experience. Waited OVER an hour for food, when it finally arrived we sent it back and asked for a refund as it was stone cold. Very disappointed, go somewhere else. More

Food wise amazing and highly recommended, the most friendly cafe owner and staff I ever seen. Lovely coffee in quite spot easy to access to with many car parking.

Wonderful cafe! Lovely traditional Egyptian food and amazing coffee. Loved the friendly conversation as well, one of our favourite spots when visiting Adelaide.

Very friendly and accomodating staff and management. Lovely food and coffee.

Cafe style. Value for money. Great mango frappes, felafel, kibbe and authentic molokhia soup, just like my Egyptian grandfather used to make. Yum

A nice little sheltered corner away from the main street. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly owners, and great coffee. I'll be back. More

Beautiful, tranquil cafe setting. Friendly service and a chat with owners that adds to an overall pleasant experience. More

Very friendly people running this place. They catered to all our requests for food. Coffees were delicious. Will be back

Delicious Egyptian food in a nice courtyard setting. Lovely people as well. Would highly recommend!

The people running this little cafe are lovely, and I enjoyed the beef burger.

Great coffee and food. The owner is a gent!
