Ladle Leaf - San Francisc

I owe L&L on California St. a review as I wanted to appreciate the exceptional staff at this location. They are very attentive, friendly, and seem to be always smiling. The food is good but the service is exceptional!

Needing a place to grab and go to get back for a meeting, we dropped in. If you are in a hurry this is a go to place. They split the ordering lines between made to order and packaged to go with soups, salads and all you need. All of our food was decent. No issues.

Love the soup here and also the customer service from the manager Ricky and the team. Great variety and fresh salads. Fast service. Sandwiches are also recommended. Fav soup Tikka, Peruvian, Tortilla and Grandma Chicken Soup.

I went here during off lunch hours with my bf, so there was no line and not too many people around in general. I 've never been here or to any other Ladle Leaf locations before, but I have been to places with similar offerings (e.g., Tender Greens, Sweet Greens, Specialty 's, etc. , so I ordered my usual grilled chicken cobb salad. One thing I liked about this place compared to some of the others is that they mixed the salad up so that the dressing spread evenly; they didn 't just dump the toppings on and leave (or leaf it at that. The staff was friendly too, though a bit hard to hear with some of the overall background noise around. While this may not necessarily be the first lunch place I think of, it will almost certainly make the list of salad places when I 'm craving something healthier. I guess that just means I 'll have to try something different (not salad on their menu next time

Great customer service and some really good soups and salads, however the prices are a little high for a take out joint.
