Adelaide couple open Hidden Leaf Cafe: a green haven for coffee and plant lovers

Marking their first venture into the Adelaide hospitality scene, local couple Kristina and Braeden are opening a jungle cafe that will serve coffee and healthy fresh food.

Kristina Natale and Braeden Papas are on the verge of a whole new adventure, diving headfirst into the busy Adelaide café scene with new venture Hidden Leaf Café. 

Poised as an eclectic plant jungle and coffee cavern, Hidden Leaf Café will be a calming haven where customers can sit amongst a collection of lush green plants and enjoy a cup of the good stuff, with delicious beans provided by local coffee roaster 1645. 

The Campbelltown venue, which opened on July 1, might be a challenge for visitors to first locate, nestled in an intimate space down a small side street, but owners Kristina and Braeden promise it will be worth the trek, offering a menu of fresh, simple, healthy dishes in the green space. 

Although the menu is predominantly plant-based, bacon and egg lovers will still be catered for with a selection of delicious breakfast and brunch dishes. 

If sitting amongst the venue’s collection of incredible plants gives you serious foliage envy (or brings on a sudden onslaught of neglectful plant-parent guilt) there is plenty of plants and greenery for sale at the cafe, so you can leave with a full, satisfied tummy as well a new plant to brighten up your home or office space.

The couple have built up an impressive collection of plants, succulents and greenery over the last five years, packing every inch of their venue with plants from local nurseries and wholesalers to create a truly relaxing atmosphere for customers. 

First-time café owners Kristina and Braeden are respectively a chef and mechanical engineer by trade, but the pair couldn’t be more excited to start their new adventure, having already received an overwhelmingly positive response to news of the café’s opening.

Hidden Leaf is now open.

The café will be open 7 – 3pm Tuesday to Friday and 8 – 3pm Saturday and Sunday. 

Find Hidden Leaf at 5/45 Clairville Rd, Campbelltown.
