About Leaf & Vine Cafe and Wine Bar

Leaf & Vine Cafe and Wine Bar trades suburban cafe routine for thoughtful plates and garden calm on a leafy backstreet in Ringwood. Locals gather under the glass-covered courtyard for long weekend catch-ups over rich lattes and savoury brunch staples. The kitchen departs from predictable bacon and eggs with worldly signatures—think baked chilli eggs, fragrant Persian eggs, and crisp corn and coriander fritters topped with creamy sauces. A lunch crowd settles in for hearty Italian sandwiches, roasted red capsicums, and crisp eggplant schnitzel alongside freshly pulled flat whites.

  • Glass-Covered Courtyard: Tucked off the main drag, the sheltered back terrace provides a leafy, weather-protected space to unwind.
  • Inventive Brunch Staples: Gourmet signatures skip the basics with dishes like baked chilli eggs, Persian eggs, and eggplant schnitzel.
  • Thoughtful Dietary Options: A broad spread of vegetarian and plant-forward plates, alongside well-crafted specialty coffee.

    My daughter had the Persian eggs, which she raved about. I had the baked chilli eggs. It was, without a word of a lie, one of the best things I've eaten for breakfast in my life!

  • Peaceful Suburban Oasis

    Tucked away into a quiet residential street, the leafy patio setting creates a tranquil escape reminiscent of the countryside.
