Turtle Leaf Cafe

While traveling for work, I needed a quick and healthy lunch. I placed an order over the phone, but they forgot to prepare it. I had to wait about 7 minutes as they prepared my food. No one is perfect, so I won’t hold that against them. The food was delicious and fresh. I had a veggie wrap and a strawberry almond salad. Both items were very good. Their menu was full of great options and it was hard for me to pick one, which is why I got two :). If I work in this area again, I’ll be sure to come back. Added bonus: If you check in, you get 15% off your bill… Score!

Great place, great atmosphere and great food. I looooove having a place like this around… it’s great tasting food that’s great for you. Enough said.

Absolutely love this place! The banana foster iced coffee is exceptional and I’m not typically a fan of iced coffee. Every time I go I order something different and I have yet to be let down! Every time I want to eat lunch out this is the first place to cross my mind! Definitely a hidden gem in Elmira!

Salmon burger with pestocado topping was delicious!!! It was my first time at Turtle Leaf Café and I will be returning! I’m excited to try all the delicious sounding menu items. I’ll be back :)

I finally got around to checking out this place which I have heard alot about. It isnt easy because unlike most café’s they dont open until 10 am.
The place
I love the café & coffee shop vibe they had a a few comfy chairs & couches (in fact a girl was sleeping in one!) by a nice fire place. It had plenty of table space with a cool bar even. It was very clean and set up well
The food
I went here with my wife we ordered the Strawberry Turkey Brie and Ham, cheddar, pear panin’s on the advice of the lady at the counter and wow were they good. Everything tasted so fresh you can tell they use quality stuff in the things in their menu. They both came with fresh grapes and carrots which was great healthy option. I was so sad I had just come from Heavenly cup so I was too full to try some of the amazing coffee options they had but I will be back! I normally go to Panera Bread when I’m up by the mall I’m so excited I now have a better option. If you like Panera you will love this place I can’t wait to try their coffee and baked goods both looked really good!
The staff
They were great the girl was very friendly and offered great advice when ordering. Another guy came up after we got our food and made sure everything was good. The staff gets an A+!!! Read less

Was driving through the area and wanted something local and decided to try this place, glad we did! Really easy on and off the highway, the menu has a lot of interesting and different sandwiches, paninis and salads. The food is excellent, made to order and fresh.
Our wait was not very long but I can see during a rush it may take some time to get your food.

The food was exceptional and most of the staff were pleasant with the exception of one. If I hadn’t already paid for my food, I would have left. My co worker and I asked to separate our bills and we got an eye roll. When I asked a question about seating (I’ve never been there before) I got another eye roll. Thankfully the rest of the staff were nice, however, the one lady with the brown hair pulled in a sloppy bun made me feel very uncomfortable.

I love Turtle Leaf. They make such amazing, healthy, fresh sandwiches. They also make other things, including smoothies, coffee, and other common café items, all of which are fantastic. Great place to go.

They messed up and must have lost my order, took no joke one full hour to get a half a sandwich. No apology they messed up it happens but if you don’t get your food right away say something. I won’t be going back fi awhile.

Food isn’t bad… so long as you have a LOT of time. 35 minutes for a salad! Terrible service.

This place is killin it! I’m currently on tour with Beauty and The Beast and the company and I are extremely thankful for the fresh, exciting, delicious menu. Personally, it’s one of my favorite menus I’ve seen yet across the country. I’ve tried a few different things and loved each one and I look forward to trying something new tomorrow. Friendly staff, speedy service, come one come all.

Fabulous food — healthy and tasty! So excited to have Turtle Leaf so close! Love the smoothies! (And everything else)

Excellent simple fresh food, presented tastefully by friendly sincere real people. They have my loyalty after two visits.

Absolutely no complaints about the service at this place! The food was served «hot of the press» and they had a wide variety of sandwiches, paninis, smoothies, and baked items! I loved how everything had a health conscious vibe and gluten free options! I’m on a strict gluten and dairy free diet, so I was thrilled that I could actually find something! It’s such a nice and quiet spot, perfect for studying and working outside of the office!
