The Café at Wave Hill

The Café at Wave Hill truly exceeded all my expectations! The portions are fair, tasty, fresh and generally well blanched. The fact that they use locally sourced ingredients is also a wonderful bonus. We had Cobb salad, chicken caesar wrap, and a breaded chicken sandwich. The indoor dining area is in a beautifully historic building and many of the meals offered are made by kitchen staff to order. It was clean and the workers were wonderful, even at peak hours, but the outside dinning section stole the show for us. Having a quick bite surrounded by nature enhances the whole experience.

What a lovely place to be. The cafe is a bit overpriced for small portions but the food is great, fresh and healthy. We had salads and lemonade but the best park of this is garden itself with mini hiking and lots of plants- the river view and the numerous benches and chairs

Great cafe with with outdoor seating vibrant space. Good vegetarian options and lemonades are delicious. This is part of the Wave Hill Park. The structure in which it is located is historic. Good break from walking around this beautiful park. A gem in Riverdale Section of Bronx. Only negative is one cannot go to just eat there without paying the fees for the park entrance.

My favorite chicken sandwich at a museum or cultural institution is here. I don't know why, I love it so, but it's great and I recommend it.

They also offer a good selection of drinks, snacks and other foods but the chicken sandwich. Trust me. It's better than decent.

Delicious food - try the bacon egg and cheese. Nice atmosphere with pretty views. Not a ton of options but everything was tasty. A little pricey but not bad for inside a garden. Lots of children.

My daughter and I are having late breakfast/ lunch there every week, and it is a resourcing experience .
We not only love the venue but the quality of the food serve is unique, especially the vegetables ( I ordered the Grain/ Kale salad and the quality of the Kale was exceptional. I usually do not like kale but now, I do!).
Additionally the menu always offers new options and we have enjoyable surprises.

Way better than expectations for this small cafe in Wave Hill gardens

Fantastic location, but not really a cafe, no table service and small menu ( sandwiches, salads etc) Totally worth going for the location, just think more "snack bar" in the food department.

Tasty snacks and the two young women who served us were so sweet and hospitable!

Very nice building and atmosphere. Loved the food. Recommending it.

The kitchen apparently closes an hour early, although the cafe itself stays open until the time posted.

The fruit tea and lemonade are amazing!! The helpful and friendly sales associate suggested we taste it when we spoke about it....smart move because we immediately bought one each!

Cute Cafe in the center of the beautiful gardens at Wave Hill. Both are worth a visit!

It was nice visiting here with my Mom. We didn't buy anything, but just looked around.

Nice little cafe, wholesome fare, indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful setting.

Views from the stone terrace of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge.
Gracious counter staff, good coffee and sandwiches.

Half of a pbj, kids loved it!

What an amazing place to go. Had lots of fun.

The soup and the pie were delicious! Also, the staff are very polite.

This place is a bronx hidden gem
