What people say
A brilliant cafe just across from the park. There is outdoor seating and several rooms inside. The menu is varied with lots of vegetarian options . The deserts are great too. Bathrooms are downstairs. Very convenient to Wahroonga station. A great place for brunch lunch or dinner.
We had dinner here on a recent Saturday night and were more than impressed with the food and service. While the menu may appear small at first glance, there is enough choice to meet anyone’s tastes including those with dietary restrictions. All meals were cooked to perfection and service was attentive without being overbearing. Located on the other side of the station to the main shopping area of Wahroonga this is a great option for dining out.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The atmosphere is nice and the food had lovely plating. I don’t have much to say about the food, but please do get the focaccia. It’s a nice fluffy bread to start the meal off, and it’s house-made. All the food came at a great time; not a long wait. The food is definitely delicious, evidently the rest of the party definitely finished their plates. The burger was just an average burger and ragatoni was a bit too spicy to my liking. But that’s all I gotta say. The coffee is just any coffe but the mocha had a nice chocolate to coffee ratio. Would come back again to try the rest of the menu!
Bottle of water and glasses brought to table. Menus also. Specials explained. Lovely setting. Plenty room/space around. Meals delightful 😊 ☺️.
Excellent experience. Delicious food! Myself and three girlfriends caught up for dinner, shared a bunch of starters/entrees between the four of us, had two mains that we shared in pairs, and enjoyed some light refreshing sodas. Well timed, warm and thoughtful service. Very impressed. Had booked because of recommendations on a Facebook group for GF dining, and Cafe Patina lived up to expectations and then some. Would love to come back. Thank you! Very happy GF girlies tonight. See photos for delicious dishes we enjoyed. Very conscious of caring for dietary requirements, proactive staff well versed in the details of the menu. Love that they use tallow too! Venue saved to my Google maps for next time. Thank you.
