About littleleaf luncheonette
Locally owned & operated
The spark to bring Littleleaf Luncheonette to life in Waukee, Iowa, grew from a vision of crafting a cozy neighborhood haven—a place where fresh, wholesome flavors meet a laid-back, inviting vibe. We saw an opportunity to fill a gap for a dining experience that marries quality with comfort, serving up dishes that celebrate local ingredients whenever possible.
More than just a restaurant, Littleleaf Luncheonette aims to be a gathering spot—a warm, welcoming space where nourishing meals and heartfelt conversations flow freely, and a true sense of community blossoms. At its core, Littleleaf Luncheonette stands as a testament to authenticity, simplicity, and the genuine connections that make every visit feel like home.
