Delicious breakfast with a perfect view! Worth making a reservation as it's usually packed (especially when weather is as good as it is....)
OK range of dietary requirements (e.g. any bread based choices can be made gluten free).
Yummy pot of chai masala tea.
The date and apricot loaf can be bought to re enjoyed at home.
Great place for locals but also to bring tourists-best view in town!
Set steps from a lighthouse, this seaside cafe boasts a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere with sunny outdoor seating and a clean, accommodating environment. It shines for gluten-free diners with many tasty, custom gluten-free options and friendly, helpful service.

Wild Patch Cafe is an eye catcher when walking or driving past. They are promoting fresh produce, vegan and gluten free options as well with an inviting indoor and outdoor seating option.
Kiama is bustling with busy cafes that seem to offer very similar food options excluding The Hungry Monkey and Forest Eats, with The Hungry Monkey clearly miles ahead. Competition for the majority of cafes in Kiama are based on connivence and service. If the service is lacking, the cafe has less repeating locals.
Both times I’ve been to Wild Patch Cafe they were a similar experience. F.O.H staff unfortunately lacked efficiency and friendly service, at times it felt unwelcoming overall. Of course, we all have bad times and perhaps I’ve caught them twice on a bad day, however, I’m always a welcoming and chatty customer who is willing to spread good word and spend money and time revisiting.
The trend of paying before you eat in a seated Harbourside cafe is odd and takes the finesse away from a dining experience.
The food both times we visited was average for me, representing 3 stars.
However, both times we visited, my girlfriend was served lukewarm food and an over sauced, soggy mushroom burger, resulting in us on the second time asking for a refund which they more than happily obliged, (as if it was a reoccurring issue).
The buns sat on the plate like wet bread, whilst the large mushroom that was on the raw side of grilled had to be taken out of the burger and sliced with a knife. Greasy and soggy.
I had the chilli scrambled both times which were enjoyable and better than most other cafes that offer it, but they were nothing outstanding.
You can tell a lot from an establishments scrambled eggs, and there is 110% huge potential from the cooks within the kitchen.
Of course, this is only my review of our experience.
I’ve read other reviews and see that most are quite an enjoyable experience, which I’m so happy to see.
For us the second time we visited we sat with our unfinished food on the table with our napkins and cutlery on them for over 10 minutes when there was 7 other patrons. The staff continued to look at our plates but went on with chatting until I called someone over.
The lady that gave us a refund was polite and attentive, props to her for being so polite about the situation.
We hoped that our second visit trying the same food would change, but unfortunately it didn’t. I see the enjoyment around the gluten free options and brekkie menu, the coffee a solid 4 stars, but for me, it has been a cafe I won’t return to again after giving it a second shot.
All the best to the owners and staff, in hope they can improve and take this constructive criticism appropriately on board. They have a sensational location, incredible local produce within 30 minutes north and south, and a local community that is supportive.
I’d like to note, both experiences were between Feb 2020 - August 2020, of which I noted them down at the time. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take photos as I wasn’t planning on writing a review and instead just giving verbal constructive criticism.
This family-owned spot offers a stylish yet welcoming décor with modern design and traditional Vietnamese photographs, creating a beautiful ambiance. The quick service and thoughtful setting make it an awesome place for gluten-free dining with plenty of safe options.

A lovely experience! Came here for a dinner date with hubby who has a gluten allergy, and we discovered their entire menu is gluten-free and coeliac-friendly! Chose the mid-range banquet (note, they only do set banquets on weekends). Each dish was lovingly cooked and delicious, from first entrée to final dessert. Even as big eaters, we were both left very full and doggy-bagged some leftovers. Bartender is an absolute gun - cocktails were made to perfection and some of the best we've had. Wait staff were very polite and attentive, and owner, Kierrin, personally came over to serve some dishes and share the restaurant's history. A gem in Kiama worth visiting!
Perched with stunning ocean views, this elegant venue offers a cozy yet refined atmosphere with wooden beams and soft lighting. The staff provide fantastic service and accommodate gluten-free dietary needs seamlessly, ensuring a comfortable and inclusive dining experience.

This is a well loved local Indian. It's always busy so best to book. We have been here twice, once we came a bit late and couldn't get a table so resorted to take away.
They are gluten free aware so good for coeliacs.
We had the vegetarian paneer butter masala, butter chicken and garlic naan. The mango lassi is worth ordering as well.
Service was good, but they seemed a bit understaffed on the day. Food is very good.

Excellent service with a smile, great atmosphere and cute restaurant.
I ordered the gf pizza margarita ( unfortunately it was not to my liking just as the base was very heavy and bready - I've had many gluten free pizzas out and had to be my least favorite which was so disappointing. Definitely would recommend them to look at maybe changing suppliers. They also mix mozerella with buffalo cheese and a sauce for basil - I would say just keep it simple with a margarita - fresh basil leaves, buffalo cheese and sauce. Less complicated pizza is always better. I'm sorry to say it wasn't great.
My partner absolutely loved his pepperoni pizza. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to love their food and the portion sizes were very generous. I think just on the gluten free side/margarita they need to up their game.
This lively eatery offers a chatty, happy, and casual atmosphere with a lovely ambiance that welcomes guests warmly. The friendly wait staff strive to accommodate gluten-free needs, making it a cozy spot for those seeking Italian-inspired flavors in a comfortable setting.

Review of Zia Restaurant
Tonight we dined at Zia Restaurant. My husband ordered the Chicken Alfredo with gluten-free pasta and was very happy with his meal. The pasta had good flavour, and the portion size was satisfying.
I ordered the veal with a mushroom sauce, which came with chips and a garden salad. Unfortunately, the presentation was disappointing—the veal was placed on top of the chips with the sauce poured over everything, which made the chips soggy. The mushroom sauce lacked flavour, although the veal itself was cooked well. The salad was served on the side with a light vinegar dressing.
Service was lacking. We weren’t asked if we wanted another drink, and after finishing our meals, we waited for a staff member to return so we could order dessert, but no one came back. Eventually, we decided to leave.
Overall, the experience wasn't great, and we don't plan to return.
This cozy spot features a welcoming atmosphere with an inviting outside area perfect for people watching. Known for exceptional gluten-free options, the staff go above and beyond to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for those with gluten sensitivities.

Tasty ice cream at a reasonable price for your seaside visit to Kiama.
While there aren't allergen labels on the flavours the staff have a list of flavours and allergens.
I was able to find some gluten free flavours to enjoy.
Note, the list isn't fully up to date with new flavours.

Really good value with friendly and helpful staff. They were very accommodating of a coeliac guest.
The options seem daunting for the first two minutes but just pick a tray and go from there. We chose C which was more than enough for two hungry adults - would’ve easily fed three really.
The beer on tap is pretty good, and the salad bar has good kimchi plus a fair variety of sauces.
Do keep in mind that your hair and clothes will smell of bbq. It gets a bit steamy there but I don’t know if that’s the general rule with theses places.
