Pandan desserts and drinks at The Leaf, Shoreditch 小叶子

The Leaf, which specializes in drinks and desserts were a success at Holborn food hub that they have branched out to Gravesend and Shoreditch.
I was overwhelmed by the drink choices as it was not just bubble tea!
They had two long drink lists for avocado and pistachio!!
It was really hard deciding between avocado and pistachio but luckily I spotted this avocado and pistachio drink and swapped the caramel pearls for my favourite pandan jelly!!!
The drink was really good so I finished it which was rare.
With a pistachio drink, one would expect it to be made with pistachio powder but it contained chunky crushed pistachio nuts and then you got this savoury avocado which was heaven.
Overall, pistachio and avocado were a good pairing because they were both savoury.
My favourite pandan jelly was lush and not too sweet so definitely ordering this drink again.
Also tried the peanut milk because they ran out of the chestnut milk and it was interesting and nothing like peanut butter.
For dessert, we had the pandan and grass jelly tofu pudding which was lush and not too sweet.
I would have been happy with just the pandan jelly.
A year later, they have opened in Shoreditch, so gave them a visit.
As it was newly opened, most of the stuff was not available so I just had the pandan tofu which was quite nice.
You could really taste the soy in the tofu with a hint of pandan.
The menu at the shop has a few typos though.
