Cafe Patina

A modern Australian café in Wahroonga, occupying a 132-year-old heritage-listed building designed by Sir John Suleman, one of several uses the structure has served over the years. The kitchen leans toward honest, whole-food comfort cooking, sourcing from regional producers and using organic ingredients where possible, and runs as a 98% gluten-free operation. A signature dish is the Snapper Pie. The interior pairs a clean, contemporary look with heritage touches, and generous awnings shelter a leafy outlook. Open seven days for breakfast and lunch, with dinner Wednesday to Saturday.
