If you are looking for a peaceful escape from the daily hustle, Leafy Trails in Kothrud is the ultimate spot to check out. This is Pune’s very first “time cafe”. In a crowded area like Kothrud, finding a cafe to just sit, relax and talk to your loved one or friends is seemingly impossible to find. Leafy Trail is just this place! You can literally just sit, unwind and nobody will bother you here. Instead of constantly ordering food or drinks to keep your seat, you literally just pay for the time you spend there. It is the perfect, judgment-free zone to sit back, clear your mind, and completely do your own thing.
The Genius Concept of a Time Cafe
Most cafes start dropping subtle hints to leave the moment you finish your coffee, but Leafy Trails flips the script. Here, you simply pay a small flat fee based on how long you hang out. They charge just Rs. 30/- per hour for the non-AC section, and Rs. 50/- per hour if you prefer the comfort of the AC section. Whether you want to work on your laptop, read a novel, or daydream for hours, you can do it without anyone looking over your shoulder.
Hand-Painted Nooks Poured with Love
The entire vibe of Leafy Trails revolves around three beautiful elements: Art, Food, and Books. The gorgeous decor is the brainchild of the owner, Rewati, who is a professional designer. She and her husband have painstakingly designed every single corner of the space by hand. As you look around, you will see intricate hand-painted wall murals, beautiful custom art hangings, and dreamy, handmade dreamcatchers. The immense love and care they have poured into building this sanctuary shine through the moment you walk in.
Unleash Your Creativity with a Custom Art Kit
Leafy Trails offers an amazing, fully-loaded Art Kit for just Rs. 299/-. This kit includes everything you need to start painting right at your table, fresh canvas, paints, brushes, a mixing palette, and a protective apron. It is an incredible way to disconnect from screens and explore your creative side. The best part? You get to pack up your colorful masterpiece and take it home with you!
Simple and Tasty Comfort Food on Demand
While there is zero pressure to eat, you definitely won’t go hungry if a craving hits. The cafe features a delightfully simple comfort food menu designed to keep you fueled. You can pair your relaxing session with coffee or tea, steaming bowls of Maggi, and crispy, freshly made sandwiches. The kitchen keeps the menu straightforward and unfussy, but the food tastes incredibly fresh, tasty, and satisfying.
A Community Hub for Memories and Workshops
Leafy Trails is quickly turning into a vibrant community hub for locals of all ages. When I visited, I saw a group of teenagers celebrating their friend’s birthday by sitting together, laughing, and painting beautiful memories on canvas. If you want to learn something new, make sure to drop by over the weekends. The owners convert the entire space into an event area where they host creative workshops and fun weekend gatherings for everyone.
