A little vege cafe in the heart of Newtown
Homemade cabinet food, generous brunches and proper coffee, all plant-forward and made with love at 120 Riddiford Street.
Plant-based comfort food, the Newtown way
Pránáh is a small, much-loved vegetarian cafe tucked into a heritage shopfront on Riddiford Street. For years we have been feeding Newtown with hearty, vegetarian and vegan food that doesn't cost the earth.
The cabinet is the heart of it: pies, pasties, quiches, slices and cakes all baked in house, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Add a flat white, grab a window seat on the checkerboard floor, and settle in.
Baked here, every single day
The cabinet is what people come back for. Savoury pies and pasties, quiches, scones and a rotating spread of cakes and slices, with vegan and gluten-free picks marked on the label.

Loved by the locals
“The BEST scrambled eggs in the country. Also my favourite cafe in Wellington. The food is made with love and great, fresh produce. It's my weekend go to for an affordable brunch. Anytime I have friends visiting from out of town or overseas, I take them here.”
“This vegetarian cafe has had amazing vegan cabinet food for quite a few years. They do fantastic treats during the Newtown festival each year as well. I recommend the mushroom pie with pumpkin and herb crust, the shepherds pie, their sausage roll and their custard square. They have a lot of gluten free options too.”
“Really enjoyed our lunch at this little cafe. I ordered the quesadilla and an oat milk iced chocolate, my partner ordered the tofu burger and a smoothie and it was all amazing, and such excellent value. So many vegan options too. The carrot cake and blueberry muffin were delicious. Service was quick and friendly too.”
“A great brunch spot with friendly staff and delicious food. The oat pancakes were fantastic, fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. The customer service was excellent, our server was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.”
Look for the green sign
You'll find us on Riddiford Street in the heart of Newtown, a short stroll from the hospital and the shops. Dine in or grab something from the cabinet to go.
