    Clam chowder!
    David T.

    The food here is good. Great for a quick lunch. It's sad how the stores around are all nearly closed. It means plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal. We got to support the local businesses still around. Come enjoy the soups and food. Clam Chowder, Yum!

    Turkey Turkey Pesto (Half Sandwich)

    Service is exceptional Cozy and comfortable. Lots of healthy food choices. We would go there again

    Corn Chowder
    Priyanka S.

    Ladle & Leaf always hits the spot on a cold rainy day in SF! The way it works is similar to chipotle where you can order soups/salad off the menu or you can build your own salad. When I came I opted for the soup and got the corn chowder which came with a slice of free bread. The soup was delicious and creamy and was topped off with cilantro. The bread was also good and spongy making it the perfect dipper for the soup. I have also gotten their clam chowder soup in the past and it is also lovely with lots of clam chunks and bits of potato!

    Chowder and sourdough
    Elizabeth T.

    The service could not have been better, so friendly and fast! The Clam Chowder bowl with sourdough was creamy but not too heavy. I really enjoyed the soup, dipping my sourdough in it just added to the experience.

    Not fresh bacon

    My sandwich was all bread. No Mayo or mustard, and two thin slices of turkey. There was sufficient avocado but the bacon was not fresh. Boo

    Thai peanut chicken salad
    Alice X.

    Groupon got me to come here. I didn't know what to order but I saw a another Yelp Elitist recommending the Thai peanut chicken salad on Yelp. So I ordered the Thai peanut chicken salad and I thought it was mediocre, nothing special and nothing to rave about. The second time, I got the chicken bacon and Cobb salad without blue cheese and it tasted great! Prices and portions for the salads are similar to the ever so popular Mixt Green.

    I enjoyed their breakfast burrito and their friendly service. I got their chorizo avocado burrito and it was hot!

    Cob chicken salad. It was decent and the service was nice. But I agree with the pricing issued and the protein did seem to be skimped on

If you're craving something refreshing, light, and fruity, the Sonoma is a must. The pears take it to the next level and give it that perfect sweet, crisp bite that makes every forkful feel extra refreshing. It's the kind of bowl you order when you want to feel bright and satisfied. Now if you're in the mood for something warm, crunchy, and nutty, the Bangkok Bowl is your girl. The texture, the richness, the cozy vibes -- chef's kiss. It's hearty without being heavy and hits all the comfort-food notes. And can we talk about portions?! These bowls are NO joke. I swear I made a huge dent in mine, looked down thinking I was almost done... only to realize I basically still had a whole second meal left. Instant take-home win. On top of all that, the staff is super friendly, the space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels good from start to finish. I came for the seasonal menu but I'll definitely be back for everything else too. If you're debating what to order: Sonoma for fresh + fruity, Bangkok for warm + crunchy -- you truly can't go wrong!

So while I can't speak to in person service or decor the delivery is on point. My peachy salad was just ok. The chicken was cold and not crunchy, and the cornbread crumbles were not crunchy at all, like kind of in between stale and crunchy... weird combo. Peaches and pickled onions were awesome though. The dressings that it came with which were a bbq sauce and some type of special ranch also were a weird combo, glad it was on the side vs in the salad itself otherwise I'm not sure I would have eaten it. Crispy cauliflower was good but definitely not crispy at all! Probably got softer on delivery but definitely not something that should be advertised as crispy when it's not...

Steak was barely flavorful, quite cold even though it was "cooked on the spot". The caramelized onions were cold and nothing out of this world - if anything because they were chilled, they lost a bit of their flavoring. The croutons were nonexistent, I almost had to go back and ask if they could add some until I found 3-4 at the very bottom of my bowl. A lot of greens which was good, good serving there. I got a side of focaccia and that was delicious (do wish they offered to toast it a bit, it'd be that much more yummy!). As for my other visits, same applies - unfortunately it's just an overpriced salad I know I can make better at home. Not to mention 1 of my visits was a pickup order and they completely forgot my dressing on the side. All in all, I am very let down by this place. Dare I say I love and prefer it to be Sweet Green. Bummer, I really was happy to have this in the area.

When I called to place a pickup order, I was asked for my full credit card number and expiration date before I'd even finished ordering. I went along with it, but when they then asked for my CVV code too, I got uncomfortable and stopped. No legitimate phone ordering system needs your CVV read aloud over the phone; that's the kind of information you only enter yourself on a secure, encrypted checkout page. Asking for it verbally is a red flag for how they're handling (or storing) customer payment data. On top of that, the location was too busy for me to just park and order in person instead. I really wanted to try the food, but I'm not comfortable giving out full card details over the phone to a stranger, and I don't think other customers should be asked to either. Hoping they switch to a secure payment process so I can come back and actually try the menu

The restaurant itself made a great first impression. It was clean, organized, and even had a nice little area set up for social media photos. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the presentation. I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl with Greek chicken. The chicken was dry, and it was obvious the seasoning had been sprinkled on after it was cooked instead of being cooked into the meat. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts and fried cauliflower. The Brussels sprouts looked perfectly crispy, which is exactly how they should have been, but they were soft and soggy instead. To make matters worse, the sauce was packed inside the same container, so the steam made them even soggier while also heating the small plastic sauce container inside. The fried cauliflower was equally disappointing. It looked crispy because of its golden brown color, but there wasn't a bit of crunch. Instead, it was oddly firm, almost al dente, making it feel more undercooked than fried. I also tried the garlic chicken soup, expecting something similar to Avgolemono. Instead, it was a thin, watered down broth with the same dry chicken pieces from the Mediterranean Bowl tossed in. The pita bread served with it was honestly the worst part of the meal and the only thing I threw away. Nothing was completely inedible, but for more than $60 worth of takeout, I expected food that matched the clean, inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. Sadly, this experience fell well short of that, and it's not a place I'll be returning to.
