A local favourite in Templeton

A bright stop for brunch and coffee

Gatehouse Cafe is a relaxed Templeton spot for coffee, breakfast, brunch and lunch, with naturally lit indoor tables and outdoor seating beside mature greenery. The menu leans into satisfying cafe favourites, from eggs and French toast to salad bowls and barista-made coffee. It works equally well for a quick weekday cup, an unhurried weekend brunch or a sunny lunch outside. Friendly service, convenient parking and a peaceful setting make the detour from the highway feel worthwhile.
