Leaf & Ladle - Sandwich shop in Bellingham - 1113 N State St, USA

We got the vegan panini and BLT here for a take out here - was very impressed with all the vegan options! Both entrees were great - they were healthy and fresh. I wish I was able to try more of the menu. Would definitely go back!

Ok I may be over scoring the atmosphere, but this place is great. I’m one year into a whole food plant-based diet so limited what restaurants I can eat at. But these guys do a great job for vegans, and I can slip in under that category. I had the chorizo wrap. It was very flavorful. It was huge. And it came with a side salad. The people working in the store. All seemed happy to be there and knowledgeable.

I went here with my mother for the first time recently and I was very impressed with the quality of the food both in health as well as how absolutely delicious it was! Truly exceeded my expectations and I absolutely cannot wait to go back again very soon! I'm so glad that they are as close to my apartment as they are! If you have not given them a try I promise you will not regret it! 😋⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hidden little gem!! AMAZING food, AMAZING chill atmosphere, AMAZING friendly staff. Our new favorite spot when we come to Bellingham. Bonus they have gluten-free options. Anything on the menu can be made as gluten-free!!!

Driving through town and looked like a good spot to stop for lunch. Food was excellent! Very flavorful and fresh. They made a very solid wrap. Definitely stop here if you are looking for a salad/soup/sandwich.

Vegan BLT wrap was delicious! My friends were blown away by the tomato soup and their sandwiches, too. Highly recommend for a quick, satisfying bite!

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.

What a perfect Spring Panini sandwich I just had here at Leaf & Ladle...a small downtown lunch and dinner restaurant with a wonderful variety of soups and sandwiches. With many fresh and local ingredients, meals are quickly prepared and substitutions are permitted. Owner/chef Linda is super-efficient and friendly (I'm new to the neighborhood and she generously imparted lots of good info). There's a bar in front and a separate dining section in back, a very clean restroom with a diaper changing table, and a visually-pleasing decor. There are also two outdoor tables -- perfect for our lovely summers. Vegan and gluten-free options; meat options, too. As the sign says, "food for everyone". I think I found my new favorite light-eating spot. Be back soon! =)
