Hearty Hug in a bowl - (GFO)
$12 ($6 cup)
Our warming, chunky stew changes with the season and the weather. Always protein-based, always hearty, and served with bread or corn chips to keep it gluten-free. Add a cup ($6) alongside your slice for an extra cosy combo.
Todays Leafy Ladle (GFO)
$10 bowl ($5 cup)
In soup we trust. Perfect for Wellington weather, served with crusty bread—or corn chips for a gluten-free dunk. Grab a mini soup ($5) as an extra with your sammie.
vEgg Mayo (GFO)
$10
Silken tofu brings that perfect egg-white texture, blended with creamy vegan mayo, fresh chives, and a few secret ingredients to give it that unmistakable eggy flavour. Layered in a soft sub roll with peppery rocket and slow-roasted tomatoes.
🌿 A classic at The Leafy Stop — you’ll always find it in the cabinet.
Coronation Chickpea
$10
A creamy blend of chickpeas, curry spices, mango chutney, and crushed pineapple — all tucked into a soft sub with crisp lettuce. It’s sweet, savoury, spiced, and totally satisfying.
A Leafy twist on a classic.
Chuna Mayonnaise (GFO)
$10
Smashed chickpeas mixed with zingy red onion, creamy mayo, and a dash of nori for that subtle sea breeze flavour. It’s savoury, punchy, and packed with protein — all the tuna sandwich nostalgia, without the fish.
🌊 100% plant-based, 100% satisfying.
Frittata (GF)
$10
A slice of our take on the eggy classic but made gluten free, protein packed & plant based. A selection of veggies baked in a chickpea batter. Served with a few dressed leaves and a delicious chutney. Satisfying.
