Community Happens Here: Meet Our Local Partners

We believe that community is at the heart of everything we do. Our relationships with small businesses and family-owned companies reflect our mission to connect with Wooster and surrounding communities to bring fresh flavors and quality-driven dishes to the table. We’re proud to collaborate with several local partners who share our commitment to quality, and today, we’d like to introduce you to the incredible local suppliers who help make The Leaf what it is.

Beaver Meats

Beaver Meats is an Ohio-based family business that supplies us with a variety of high-quality meat products. From ground beef and beef patties to ham loaf and sausage, Beaver Meats offers fresh, wholesome options that are at the heart of many of our dishes. They provide us with not only a reliable source of delicious meat but also a variety of fresh and frozen beef, pork, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and dry goods. Just like The Leaf, they believe in serving food that’s both good for you and full of flavor. Their family-oriented approach aligns with our goal to bring people together over fresh, locally sourced meals.

Sure House Coffee

When it comes to coffee, we believe in serving nothing but the best. That’s why we proudly partner with Sure House Coffee Roasting Co., a local business rooted in Wooster and passionate about providing organic, ethically sourced coffee. Sure House sources single-origin beans from around the world, each with its own unique story, background, and commitment to ethical practices. Their focus on quality and community mirrors our own values, which is why you’ll find Sure House Coffee featured on our menu.

You can visit Sure House Coffee at one of their two locations for a specialty cup of coffee, or make a brunch reservation at The Leaf to enjoy a cup with your meal!

Wootown Bagels

No brunch menu would be complete without the perfect bagel, and for that, we turn to Wootown Bagels. Known for their traditional, hand-rolled, boiled bagels with the perfect balance of crunch and chew, Wootown Bagels has become a staple in the Wooster community. Wootown Bagels supplies us with freshly made bagels that complement our seasonal brunch offerings, and we’re proud to offer their delicious bagels to our guests.

JAFB Wooster Brewery

We love pairing our dishes with locally brewed beer. Since opening its doors in 2012, JAFB Wooster Brewery has been crafting delicious beer with a focus on quality, creativity, and seasonal inspiration. With a rotating selection of 16 taps, their beer styles range from American and Belgian to German, British, and beyond.

We serve JAFB beers at The Leaf not only because of their bold, flavorful brews but also because of their deep roots in the Wooster community. Their “Bring Your Own Food” policy and welcoming atmosphere make them a perfect match for our approach to dining. Whether you’re enjoying an IPA with your burger or sipping on a seasonal brew with your brunch, JAFB adds a local touch to every meal.

Ol' Dirty Sheets

For those who like a little extra kick, we’re thrilled to feature Ol' Dirty Sheets Hot Sauce. Their hot sauce has become a favorite among those who crave clean, bold flavors. In addition to their hot sauce, Ol' Dirty Sheets also supply us with a delicious vegan burger that we use in our Leaf Burger. For those looking for a plant-based option, this flavorful, locally made veggie burger is a satisfying and nutritious alternative to traditional protein.
