A place where you can avoid the rain on a rainy day but soak bread in warm soup while listening to the sound of rain. I starved for 14 hours and ate two by myself. The chicken chowder soup and tomato basil bisque were both excellent. I wish it was there in Korea too.

This is review for a Doordash order so I cannot comment on their service or anything else aside from their food. I should also preface that I'm not usually into bowls aside from poke bowls and have to say this place ain't it. It's not bad, the ingredients were there but this dish was merely a combination of individual ingredients without any cohesionQuite frankly, the tomatoes, beans, shredded cheese, avocado, leafy greens, chips and parboiled chicken were all there but nothing bonded it together. While yes the sauce was given as a bonding agent but it really was a band aid that tries to mask the aspect that there was no fluidity in the components of the mealOverall I can't really complain since it was merely a meal and nobody wronged but if there was a way to make as mediocre of a meal this would have to take first prize. I wouldn't make an effort to get this meal but it wasn't egregious either like everything was made without anything gone bad or undercooked. It's definitely possible to do better though, I would just default to the many poke bowl shops around the area with a salad base over this

The New England Clam Chowder is awful!! Very fishy tasting ... vegetables not cooked enough- crunchy. Thin and watery. Wouldn't recommend at all!!

While visiting the offices at One California building in San Francisco, I stopped off to grab a sandwich at Ladle & Leaf. The cafe offers both sandwiches and soups. The cafe has no indoor seating but offers exterior seating. The cafe also has salads, beverages, and half order of sandwiches. The Embarcadero Ferry Building is conveniently located.

In a city dominated by greasy fried foods and overly sweet beverages, Ladle & Leaf provided a must-needed change of pace by offering healthy yet delicious lunch options. I had the Chipotle Avocado sandwich. The bread was hearty and the tomatoes, lettuce and avocado were refreshing. I highly recommend this establishment if you are searching for that homemade feel for your next afternoon lunch.

Got a few wilty leaves in my salad bowl. Perhaps the place should be called “ladle & wilty leaf” instead

My favorite grab-n-go lunch spot in downtown San Francisco. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is delicious!

Back in the day, there would be a need to eat something healthy and be calorie conscious. Did I say this was in the past? You need to watch your nutrition. Eat more greens or healthy hot soup. Ladle & Leaf fits the bill. The Crocker Galleria has a L&L. You can order and eat out in the atrium seating. Fresh air in abundance. Or cater for your office team! My turkey chili was so good! Filling, yummy ground turkey chunks. Hot! On this cold December day! I'll be back!

For a quick meal and your headed to Union Square, give this place a try. Fresh, tasty food (Thai-peanut salad was my pick) and corn chowder great choices.

Polo kale bowl is a must. Fast service and super healthy

Basic looking place but really delicious soup. Very filling.

Finally! I was really excited to try a new soup and salad spot, and I'm really happy I did! This is certainly my new "go-to" on a cozy San Francisco day. I have now tried their Tomato Bisque and Veggie Tortilla soups. I'm pretty particular when it comes to my salad ingredients so I love the make your own option. The price for soup and salad is fairly comparable to the price of San Francisco take out.
