Leaf and Ladle: 1113 North State Street

The menu at Leaf and Ladle varies, but they always have something vegan, be it soup, salad, wrap or sandwich.

On their Facebook page they explain: "With an ever-changing menu, whether you're a meat-eater, vegan, gluten-free, or just plain hungry, we want to feed you!"

They sort of won me over in advance with that all-inclusive welcoming statement, and I am happy there is another local place that caters to everyone, including vegans.

Their food never disappoints, and the people who work here are as nice as can be. This is one of my absolute favorite lunch spots in Bellingham!
