If you love nature, sustainability, and art, Leaf Cafe Pune is a must-visit. It’s not just a cafe. It’s a creative sanctuary. Hidden inside an industrial estate in Hadapsar, this unique place is home to a bigger vision called Advanced Nature.
Founded by Jesh Krishnamurthy, Advanced Nature is a movement. Jesh has spent over five years here working on a revolutionary idea — turning waste into beautiful and useful materials. From furniture and lighting to art installations, everything is made from industrial waste.
When you enter the space, you’ll notice it feels more like an urban forest than a cafe. Surrounded by trees and nature, the vibe is peaceful and grounding. The space houses a gallery, studio, workshop, and the warm and earthy Leaf Cafe.
The gallery showcases Jesh’s stunning creations. These include designer lights, art pieces, sustainable furniture, and more. All made from his proprietary recycled material. And yes, they are all up for sale.
Right beside the gallery is the Leaf Cafe Pune. It’s a cozy, calming cafe with furniture made from waste. Even the lighting here is handmade from discarded materials. The interiors are minimal and sustainable. The place is slow, soulful, and inspiring.
The cafe menu is small and 100% vegetarian. But it’s thoughtfully curated. You’ll find grilled sandwiches, warm soups, pasta, hearty salads, healthy bowls, and appetizers. The food here feels global, yet homely. It’s ideal for the well-traveled or curious foodie.
What makes Leaf Cafe Pune even more special is the guided tour. Jesh personally walks you to the bamboo-structured workshop, through a short nature trail. The trail itself is relaxing. It cuts you off from city noise and stress.
In the workshop, you’ll see magic unfold. Waste materials from various industries are processed and transformed into beautiful pieces. Jesh and his team of trained workers are innovating every day. From bricks and tiles to furniture and lights, everything is made using zero new raw materials.
This is sustainability in action. It’s not just talk. Jesh dreams of building entire homes using only waste material. His vision is to restore balance with nature by not taking anything new, but by using what’s already discarded.
A visit to Leaf Cafe Pune is more than a cafe stop. It’s an experience. A place that sparks creativity, reflection, and hope. Perfect for a day out with family, kids, or friends who care about the environment.
Plan your trip soon. Visit Leaf Cafe by Advanced Nature and see how waste is becoming wonder in Pune.
