Lovely experience! Just the nicest two young women working who were super helpful and patient with me as I was torn over all the tasty sounding options. Huge list of vegan, vegetarian and meat options. I will definitely be back soon to try the others! Yummm! read more

The food is as good as it looks online and the vibe inside is even better. The people who waited on me were fantastic and they have some awesome local beers in the cooler! I'm bringing my partner back for an affordable and laid back date night (and to find out who won the push up contest - iykyk) very soon. Highly recommend, even if you're not hungry. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch on a road trip. And I'm very happy we did. Great vegan options, and the non vegan options were also delicious. Service was excellent as well. read more

Well balanced flavors in their wraps. We ordered individual soups and shared a wrap as they are huge! Friendly service and small establishment, so the tables fill up quickly. For good reason as their food is delicious! read more

Leaf & Ladle - Tomato basil soup with wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Really stellar sandwiches, and as a dairy-free eater it's always fantastic to find vegan options on the menu! The shop is really cute, the staff was friendly, food was great. I especially enjoyed how crispy the panini was and the vinaigrette on the greens. I should have played around with some of the hot sauces available, I think it would have brightened up the sandwich a bit. (Or, maybe my mouth was expecting cranberry sauce or something acidic, that would have been tasty!) read more

It's awesome that they have a good number of vegan options, even better is that those are so good! The team are welcoming and helpful. Wish they would post their daily menu on their site and not just FB. read more

Perfect place for a soup and sandwich! Informal seating makes it easy for a single diner to not feel like they stick out. Amazing variety of soups, sandwiches/wraps, and plenty to eat if you are dairy free. Counter service was terrific, and I went back to the counter at the end to buy crisp to take home. Great picnic food for an outing on the lake, ocean, or Shakespeare in the park. For some reason, I slotted this place into "lunch spot" in my head, so it wasn't until recently that I realized they serve dinner! YUM. read more

Perhaps the best bowl of gazpacho I've had outside of Spain! Staff was quick and responsive. The Panini was delicious.

Best soup in town plus they serve it in quart sizes. It's a definite must-have during the winter months. Man, I'm so happy we have one of these in town. I know it's not a chain, but it should be. read more

First visit and wow-- what a find! Cozy and quaint. The food was delicious, the staff were so kind, and the menu had many great choices. Definitely coming back! read more

Tasty soups & sandwiches - perfect for a chilly January afternoon! The owner's creative, for-sale pottery was a welcome bonus.

Leaf & Ladle - Vegan Chorizo wrap with chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

My cousin took me here for lunch. I got the Asian Salad Chicken Wrap. Ordering was simple and the cashier was very friendly. The entrance of this sandwich shop was very bright, but a little darker and not as remarkable in the back. We got a seat in the back of the restaurant. My wrap was really big, I didn't expect it to be so big. I actually only ended up eating half of it for lunch and the other half for dinner. It was good with lots of greens and some chicken in it. There were some big chunks of jicama that I think could of been chopped a little smaller, but other than that I really enjoyed my wrap. It also came with some crunchy potato chips that balanced out the meal. We had a nice lunch here. read more

Cody little place with great vegetarian food and nice staff parking is right next door ano on the street

For years I have continually heard good/great reviews of Leaf &Ladle. For some unknown reason, I have never patronized this establishment. That finally changed and I'm glad that now my portfolio of comfortable restaurants is now expanded. The food and service was great! The ambience... not so much. Very basic, functional, minimal interior. However in hindsight, I did enjoy the very casual and extremely unnjudging atmosphere. The selections were adequate and the food was fresh and well prepared. Very handy and efficient restaurant. read more

Food was amazing. Inside is very cute. Healthy, diverse, fresh, creative options for anyone (vegans, gf, etc.)

Very yummy and healthy food, welcoming atmosphere and awesome staff. Would HIGHLY recommend.

I was visiting a friend in Bellingham and they recommended I try this restaurant for lunch. It is actually easy to miss from the outside. It is positioned between two shop fronts that also have quite a bit of personality, and is a small shop on its own. Once inside, it is very much a hipster diner. All the staff are my age, the menu has lots of vegan and vegetarian options and variations, so almost any dish can be altered to fit your dietary restrictions. I have some food allergies, and the staff were knowledgeable and accommodating. There were also homemade meals to go and locally sourced options for drinks or to go desserts. The main options are salads, wraps, and salads. The staff were also very friendly and patient with me. The food prep area is also at the front of the building, so you can see as staff prep and serve your food. I always find comfort in seeing the conditions my food is made, and this was some of the most transparent food prep I've seen. There was a dishwashing and refrigerator in the car back, but it was kept in another room. The store is longer than it is wide and built inside of a vintage storefront, so you walk in deeper past the counter and food prep area to get to dining. Staff also informed us that if we are over 21, you can even take your meals next door and sit at the neighboring bar and order drinks. We chose to sit inside the restaurant. It was very intimate and has modest decor. There was quite a lot of variety in the other customers- from families, to young adults hanging out, to elderly couples. The food is also VERY large. I ordered the BBQ pork wrap and it was HUGE. It honestly took work to finish it. Not a lot of places known for burritos even offer food that large. My friend ordered a salad and a few sides, but the salad was so large that it took up the entire 8.5"x11.5" metal tray it came on and they couldn't finish it. I very much felt that I got my bang for my buck here. This restaurant is definitely a modern and hipster take on a local sandwich deli, and I would definitely recommend it if you need something quick and filling. read more

Drive through Bellingham on our way to Vancour. Wanted something quick & easy. Got the Cubano sandwich & it was delicious! Would come back & recommend to friends. read more

Overall, the food is freshly made with great ingredients and tastes delicious. They offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options as well as meat options. I wish there were more seating available, and the tables were a bit dirty when we visited, so we had to clean them ourselves. However, these minor issues didn't overshadow the delicious food. read more

Was looking for a nice salad after a weekend of debaucherous eating and drinking and I was so pleased to happen upon this spot. The food was wonderful and the staff was kind and attentive. It was a clean and open environment, ideal for a friendly lunch! read more

Staff was very helpful in keeping my allergies in mind while ordering. The chicken curry wrap was delicious and it was served with a heaping pile of potato chips. Great lunch menu and the turnaround time was very fast for my to go order. read more

Oh man, there is nothing that I like more than finding a place like this which offers great vegetarian options! On my last trip to Bellingham, I stopped by here for a bowl of soup and it had such great flavor. The great thing also was there was more than one vegetarian soup, which almost never happens (I am a soup lover). The staff were super friendly and provided great customer service. The eating area was done nicely and had a relaxing atmosphere. I will be back to try other items when I go to Bellingham again. read more

food is so bomb and customer service is too!! love all the girlies that work here it's such a fun spot to come in and chat :)

Very fun and good restaurant! The portions were HUGE and well flavored, with a lot of great healthy options. A bit expensive but totally understandable considering where they source the ingredients and the care they take in preparing and cultivating a menu. Only downside is the building, which is not well ventilated so my whole group was sweaty and uncomfortable for a lot of the meal. read more

I try to eat here whenever I'm in Bellingham. I absolutely love their salads, and my family loves their sandwiches. Yummy! I really wish they could open one near me. And their portions are great. Nothing makes me more mad than a tiny salad. read more

Wifey's home sick and wants me to get her soup, so I fire up the trusty Yelp! machine to aid me in my quest. I'm referred to Leaf & Ladle, a place I've never been before, and head on over. I walk up to the door and attempt to enter, and to my dismay, the door is stone cold locked! I look at my phone and it reads 8:43 PM, so I don't understand what I've encountered. Yelp! said they close at 9, Google Maps said they close at 9, hell, even the sign on their door says they close at 9! Hearing the failed attempt to open the door, an employee standing about 15 feet away looks up and makes eye contact, then immediately looks away, then turns her body away. No "sorry", no gesture, no nothing. I'm pretty perceptive and can tell where my money and I are not wanted, so I turn and head back to my car, searching Yelp! as I walk, and come across Culture Cafe - another place I haven't been to... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SKIP Leaf & Ladle, and head up the street to Culture Cafe. Their Portuguese Soup & Mahi Burger are , their staff polite & attentive, and they appear to remain open for the hours they advertise! read more

We have been going to Leaf and Ladle since the restaurant first opened. The food is always fresh and it does offer a decent variety of dishes. However, if want to order something with the tempeh bacon it only comes in one preparation. So if you do not like the way it is prepared, with coconut and very oily, then you are without an option. But my main reservation about this place is the lack of modern payment methods, I know. that not many retailers use contactless payment, for example Apple Pay, but this restaurant does not even have a chip reader. It is still relying on the magnetic strip reader. As most know, the chip is a great advancement in credit card security. I would say almost all the other places in Bellingham use at least a chip reader and more and more are using contactless, even the taco trucks use ApplePay. My magnetic strip did not work on their reader, although it has on the reader at a local bakery. So I asked to input the credit no# myself, which I did. However, the cashier apparently got an attitude about it. When receiving my order to go, there was no expression, verbal or visual, of gratitude for my patronage of this business, much a thank you. I am therefore hesitant to return and give this place my business. read more

My boyfriend and I bought the cobbler there and it was NOT labeled as a nut product. We took it home and had it for breakfast the following day and about halfway though I started to feel like I was having an allergic reaction. I had my boyfriend take a bite of just the topping and he said it tasted kind of like nuts. I called and was I informed that they use almonds and was then asked if I had asked the person at the register when we bought it if it had nuts and I said no because it should be labeled since it's a common allergen. They're lucky I didn't go into anaphylaxis. read more

I stopped in for a soup and sandwich combo to go during the week, and my order was ready in 10-15 minutes. They have lots of vegan sandwiches, salads, wraps, and daily soups. On this particular day, I got the vegan special sandwich (served a focaccia, with a butternut squash, kale, and a pesto-tofu ricotta), and a vegan broccoli cheddar soup (total $15.36 after tax). The soup was nicely flavoured, with a fairly gentle cheesiness and plenty of broccoli. This didn't really remind of me classic broccoli & cheddar soups, but I'd liked it for what it was. The sandwich was filling, with nicely cooked squash and well-made that leave s a garlicky finish. All in all, solid stuff. Good lunch spot. read more

I have to confess: I don't really like the food at Leaf & Ladle. The salads really are not good, just some bagged greens, not very many of them, and much of the time the greens have been past their prime. Also, the dressing is very heavy, so you can't really taste the salad. The panini I've had have been just OK, the bread itself has been both stale and I suspect frozen, or just stale. The soups have been good. The people working there are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. There are simply better places to eat in Bham. read more

Excited to see vegan options + solid reviews, we came in for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Between the Brie/ham/green apple panini & the strawberry goat cheese salad and everything in between, all was fresh, flavorful and perfect. If you're looking for healthy lunch fare while in Downtown Bellingham, this is your place. Everything was just excellent. read more

2nd time visit here but the first was over 2 years ago. Again excellent bean w/pork soup and grilled cheese sandwich. My wife had the chicken Caesar salad that was very fresh and had plenty of chicken. Glad to have remembered this place. We did have to show validated COVID vaccination status for inside seating... read more
