Order Your Leafy Jars for Pick-Up
Our soups, stews, salads, and sandwich fillings aren’t just for lunchtime — you can now take them home in jars, ready to enjoy for dinner, an easy work lunch, or a nourishing snack. Each jar is packed with fresh vegetables, hearty legumes, and plant protein, making it a complete, feel-good option for any time of day.
Choose from our weekly changing menu of soups ($10) and stews ($12), all 100% vegan and gluten-free. Simply reheat at home and enjoy that same Leafy Stop goodness whenever you need it.
We now also offer our signature sandwich fillings in 250g jars! Perfect for several sandwiches, dipping with corn chips, or building your own Leafy creation. Choose from Pea Smash, Chuna Mayonnaise, or vEgg Mayo — all plant-based, protein-packed, and crafted in the wholesome, flavour-filled way you know and love.
Each product includes a clear shelf-life guide to help you store it safely at home.

Pause
At The Leafy Stop, we believe a pause is essential.
In the middle of busy days and full minds, there has to be a place where you can sit, breathe, and let the rush fall away.
We have created a space that feels like an extension of your front room. Beautifully cared for plants. Warm bowls placed gently on tables. Georgie and Peter right there, welcoming you in. Just us. Always us.
This is where the day softens.
Nourish
Everything we serve is made with care.
We cook with whole, plant based ingredients and with intention. Every ingredient has its purpose. We are not purists. We use sugar. We use oil. We believe in pleasure. And we believe in nourishment. In building dishes that truly sustain you. Fibre, protein, colour, comfort. Food that satisfies and steadies.
Our plates are generous but not oversized. We believe in balance, not waste. Meals designed to leave you well fed and well. And if you are extra hungry, there are always thoughtful add ons and small dishes to build your plate your way.
Connect
We are Georgie and Peter, and connection matters deeply to us.
Food is only part of it. The conversation at the counter. The familiar faces returning. The small moments of kindness that ripple outward into the rest of the day.
The Leafy Stop is more than a lunchroom.
It is a leafy little place to
Pause.
