This map by mapbox does it the best way I've seen Bike Share Map.
That tilts the whole map, though, and you might just want to render isometric tiles. I have no idea how they did it, I assume it's a combination of WebGl, magic and hard work.
The Minecrafter plugin for a Minecraft server does isometric tiles, but it's just a normal Leaflet map with fancy rendering. You could achieve the same thing by using building footprints and their height, for example.
Final example is a little leaflet plugin that extrudes stuff, I have an example here with real data Leaflet 3d Buildings. Code is here: maps.gcc 3d buildings.
