Pause. Nourish. Connect. - Edit
🌿 Wellington friends — if you haven’t visited The Leafy Stop yet, consider this your sign.
Read moreTucked away on Onepu Road in Kilbirnie, this little plant-filled haven is all about slowing down, nourishing well, and connecting over seriously good food. Think hearty soups, vibrant nourish bowls, smoky maple-balsamic beans, and sandwiches stacked with their famous vEgg Mayo, Pea Smash, or Chuna. All 100% plant-based, made from scratch, and packed with flavour.
Whether you’re after a comforting bowl, a protein-rich lunch, a sweet treat from the cabinet, or just a quiet moment with a perfectly brewed filter coffee, The Leafy Stop has you covered. Everything is available to take away in compostable or reusable packaging.
Opening Hours
Tuesday–Thursday: 10–3
Saturday: 10–4
Find them at 35 Onepu Road, Kilbirnie — your new favourite leafy little lunch spot. 🌱

Vegan Haven in Wellington - Edit
This little cafe in Kilbirnie is a vegan safe haven. The owners are so kind and attentive, their food is absolutely delightful and the prices are so low for the amount of nutrients and other goodies you get in your food! Pictured is a few of their signature dishes – vEgg mayo sandwich, chuna mayonnaise sandwich, the leafy ladle and the hearty ladle, ginger crunch and a chocolate muffin. I can’t wait to come back!! 😊

We got the Matcha tea delivered this week. Maybe that can get us that extra star ;)

Tasty and Great Value! - Edit
It’s great to have a vegan cafe in this part of town!
Read moreI had the ‘egg’ sandwich and a bowl of stew - really tasty, filling, and reasonably priced.
The owner is very friendly, and the atmosphere and fit out is nice.
I’ll definitely be back, I just hope they’re able to open in the weekends eventually!

Lovely little oasis - Edit
My daughter and I visited the Leafy Stop and we’ll certainly be back! There are so many menu items I want to try, with a great range of rolls, wraps, soups, stews and treats. We had a delicious chia pudding and the caramel slice was to die for. The atmosphere is welcoming and cosy, with lots of beautiful plants, relaxing decor and super lovely owners. I highly recommend a visit!

cute new local spot - Edit
My partner and I came in today as we had heard about your lovely cafe! We are both vegan so were very excited! The service was amazing and we felt well looked after by the kind owners. The food was amazing!! The coronation sandwich (what a classic, never thought I’d have a vegan one!) we also had the ‘egg’ sandwich and caramel slice, everything was so delicious. We will definitely be regulars and can’t wait to come and try your soups 😋 all the best to you guys

A very sweet and leafy spot! - Edit
I was so pleased to find The Leafy Stop for my birthday lunch, and tickled pink at my good luck as they had opened their doors only three days earlier! Together with my māmā and toddler we enjoyed a tofu mayo sammie, a red pepper soup, and a chia seed pudding, with carrot cake to top it off. Delicious kai and a gentle atmosphere, we’ll be coming back!
Read morePros: Full vegan menu, Reasonably priced, Lovely potted plants

Comfort Food Galore - Edit
I've been a number of times now and sampled leafys rotating ever changing delicious breakfast jars, sammies, soups and chilis - and every single one has hit the mark on taste, filling and value. You can feel the feels put into every inch of the place. A warming environment and comforting - vegan - food.
