The Story
Welcome to OFFBEET, where passion for plant-based cuisine meets innovation and community spirit. Founded by Peter Axworthy, OFFBEET began with a bold vision: to break the traditional mould and shatter the perception of plant-based food being boring.
Peter’s journey into the world of plant-based cuisine started from a deep-rooted love for cooking and a commitment to animal welfare and this naturally led to a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle. After years of exploring various culinary traditions and understanding the impact of food choices on health and the environment, Peter decided to turn his vision into reality.
In 2015, OFFBEET opened its doors, initially as a small café with a mission to redefine plant-based dining. Peter’s innovative approach to plant-based cooking quickly garnered a loyal following. His creative flair and flavorful dishes proved that healthy ethical food could be exciting and indulgent. Over the years, OFFBEET has grown from a humble café to a thriving community hub, featuring a range of take-home products, and a schedule of engaging food events & cookery classes.
Peter’s dedication to quality and sustainability is evident in every aspect of OFFBEET, from the locally-sourced ingredients to the welcoming, eco-friendly environment. Beyond just serving food, Peter and the Offbeet team are committed to promoting overall well-being. This commitment extends to offering yoga and wellness classes, creating a holistic experience that nourishes both body and mind.

JEM Miller2024-09-24My daughter and I went there to have brunch. It was our first visit to Offbeet. What a gem of a place! The place is tastefully decorated, bathed in natural light, neutral colours, pleasant walls, and ceiling hangings. The seating arrangements are comfortable and well spaced. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, efficient, and discreet. The food was absolutely delicious! My daughter had the Moroccan pancakes, and I the Gourmet "tuna" melt. Both dishes were a feast for eyes and palates!
The Mortgage Pod2024-09-18WOW. - Amazing venue for so many reasons. Great friendly service, in a nice calm atmosphere with neutral decor in a minimal setting. Also the perfect location near our office. These guys offer a Lion Mane's mushroom coffee which we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. 10/10 coffee shop. thanks
