This was my first time here and it didn't disappoint. I can't believe I've driven past here hundreds of times and never stopped in. I'll definitely be back. I had a BLT that was absolutely delicious. Crusty sour dough bread, quality bacon and the perfect ratio of lettuce, tomato and mayo. Also tried the salmon omelet and....WOW! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. I can't wait to try other items on the menu.

Thanks for the great meal!! I loved the shrooms and spinach omelette, which was light, fluffy, slightly toasty and bulging with shrooms. My wife loved the red pepper feta omelette. The eclectic mugs were a nice touch and the green tea was exquisite. Love the historic building. Excited to come back. See you next time. And loved the tots too: nice and salty and crispy. Cheers.

The lady who greeted us and took our order was so sweet and considerate. Drinks and food were great and timely. We had a group of 14 order before us and still felt we got our food very quickly. Hands down recommend and would return.

This was a great venue for a private event! Beautiful rustic location with lots of history. The owners and staff are easy to work with and created just the vibe we wanted. The burgers and sides were delicious! Check them out for a private party along with their other restaurant the Eastwood Inn!

We enjoyed the service and food at Gateway Café! Beautiful interior. The artichoke spinach omelette and coffee were fantastic. The waffles also look wonderful. Let's support this business! Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

The food seems to be all locally sourced! Good food, just took a while to come out due to the small kitchen. Wonderful choice of drinks, but very limited food options.
