This place has gone downhill and is a complete train wreck. We were regulars for three years, visiting every Saturday, but the food quality has plummeted. We were the only customers in the restaurant and waited 45 minutes for our meal while the young waiters chatted amongst themselves. Who closes the kitchen of a café on a Saturday at 2 PM? We used to visit frequently, but they really need to manage their timing better. Now, two years later, customers are starting to drift away. Today, the waitress forgot our order, and the two young waiters spent ages chatting behind the counter while customers waited for tables that still hadn't been served. There's a lack of attentiveness, and these young...
A lovely cozy cafe to have brekky at, with thoughtful touches like providing blankets for those seated outside on cold mornings such as the day we visited. Green brekky bowl 3/5, poached egg w kale spinach quinoa wild rice haloumi avo shrooms n pesto sauce sounded enticing. What i tasted was run of the mill average, though the presentation is pretty enough. There is nothing overtly wrong with this dish, the single poached egg was cooked properly, so were the rest of the ingredients. Eggs benny 3/5, your standard benny w spinach avo on sourdough w choices of shrooms or bacon or ham or (you guessed it) smoked salmon. Again pretty average, nothing to shout home about. Perhaps they do...read mor...
I visited two locations for brunch and found the food quality to be quite good, with a wide-ranging menu. However, the service left much to be desired. At both locations, there were mistakes with our orders, and the staff struggled to answer even basic questions about the menu. It seemed like a lot of young staff members were working without proper management, which contributed to the overall disorganization. While the menu had an extensive selection, there were no options specifically for children, nor any dishes that were particularly child-friendly.
Nestled in the Fox Valley area of Wahroonga is Karoo Co., a restaurant that has quickly gained popularity and is developing a rich reputation. So well-received is their culinary offering that they have even opened another successful location near St. Ives. Currently, they are offering takeout and home delivery in Wahroonga, and when they resume dine-in services, it will definitely be worth a visit. They serve a variety of dishes, but we had our sights set on trying some of their renowned wood-fired pizzas.

Visiting from out of town, Karoo and co came highly recommended. We opted for the Tandoori, Quattro Formaggio and their own Meatlovers style pizza. In a word, fantastic! A delicious soft, thin base with generous(and tasty! toppings. This little highlight will definitely be missed when we head back to NZ. If you are lucky enough to live locally, give it a go!
Pizza bases are decent but it's all downhill from there, overall pizzas are insanely greasy and every pizza I've had there has suffered the same fate of the toppings sliding off when trying to pick up a slice. It's mind boggling what passes for good pizza on the upper North Shore, and the wait staff are rude too. Very disappointing.
if I could live here, I would (although I am a more common customer, think the workers likely that I try to live there!) eat is always delightful, coffee is always delicious, service is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is wonderful. a true hidden gem of the north shore.
cosy, casual, quiet. well designed industrial meets timber interiors. Pizza roast lamb and meat lovers were great. portobello mushrooms with tomatoes, ricotta and truffle oil was a dud. Affogato generous serving of liqueur, good quality icecream. prices reasonable.

4/5 was an enticing factor to visit this place; what we ordered was good, not great, the chips interesting in a good way, burger was good. Coffee was great. Atmosphere was good for small cafe. The service was excellent.
A local gem in Wahroonga. Their menu is diverse and their food is amazing. The atmosphere is great for lunches with friends and the service is fast and pleasant.
