Thru the Gate Cafe

Locals and travellers love Thru the Gate Cafe for its cosy, rustic charm and friendly service. Reviewers rave about the coffee and tea, light and fluffy scones with homemade rhubarb jam, and classic Devonshire tea. There is plenty to tempt you, from vanilla slice, homemade slices and cakes to pies, toasties like the brie, pear and local bacon combo, sausage rolls with house relish, a top gluten free savoury muffin, artisan breads on weekends, Prana chai and even a Sicilian orange hot chocolate.

The setting gets just as many compliments as the food: a character-filled historic building with a warm fireplace, comfy lounge chairs, indoor and outdoor seating, and a dog friendly courtyard. People also appreciate the gluten free options, local produce, quick and cheerful service, reasonable prices, off-street bike parking for rail-trail riders, and the little touches like local art, ceramics and a community library.
