Dog-friendly cafes in Wahroonga, ranked

1. #1Vivana Cafe for brunch and latte art

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Cherrywood Reserve, 2 min walk

   Vivana Cafe serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, and it opens at 6:30am on weekdays, so an early visit suits a dog walk. Ask for the smashed avocado with pickled onion and feta, or the Persian scrambled eggs when you want something heavier. The baristas add animal designs to the milk, and a coffee drinker can ask for one with a cat. Cherrywood Reserve is a two-minute stroll, a useful warm-up or cool-down for a dog.

   Best for: Brunch and early coffee with a dog outside

2. #2Karoo & Co for pizza and pasta at night

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Moonas End, 2 min walk

   Karoo & Co is the choice for an evening meal, because its kitchen moves from breakfast and lunch into wood-fired pizzas and pasta after dark. Regulars order the Karu meat lovers pizza and the spinach and feta twist, and the chilli oil on the pizzas adds heat. Coffee drinkers can still start the day with a flat white from the morning menu. The outside tables take dogs, and Moonas End is a two-minute walk, so a loop before dinner works well.

   Best for: Pizza night with a dog outside

3. #3The Fox Cafe for a quick lunch between errands

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Moonas End, 1 min walk

   The Fox Cafe sits inside the Fox Valley shopping centre, and its seating runs onto a covered outdoor walkway where dogs can sit. The menu leans Mediterranean, with wraps, burgers and salad bowls, so the chicken or fish burger with chips is a filling pick. Visitors to the nearby hospital often stop here between appointments. Weekday trading starts at 6am, and the weekend start is 7am. Moonas End lies one minute off on foot.

   Best for: Quick lunch and early coffee with a dog
