The Gate Cafe @ Willow Tree

We stopped by for breakfast and was greeted by this young fella. Served by the young fella he did a good job. The food was reasonably value for your money. There was a cobweb under the table that looked like it’s been there for yonks. Thus the 4 stars. And also I wanted a poached egg for my big brekky I got a fried egg. Then I remembered, the fella should have asked us how we like our eggs done. But my fault for not telling him what I want. But I was sooooo hungry I can’t think properly. So just an advice about the customer service. Could have gone more above and betond by asking . Above all, food was good and value for money.

The food looked great and tasted even better. Very decent sized meals and great value for money. This was our pick of all the eateries in Willow Tree and not one of us were disappointed. This will be our stop when travelling that way again. Breakfast Burger, juice and a coffee, less than $30.

A nice little cafe, popular with locals, passing truckies and tourists. Good service and a good menu selection. We enjoyed our brunch and the coffee was pretty good. My only criticism is a personal one..I have trouble with undercooked or slightly runny eggwhites..it's a textural thing for me. One of the two poached eggs was a little underdone on the egg white but the yoke was cooked, so I just ate it anyway. As I said, my personal textural preference is a firm egg white. The fries were probably the best we've had in a long time...hot, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Passed the snap test easily. Would we go back...Yes, for sure. Edit: Went back Jan23 2026. Had the savoury mince again..different presentation completely but really nice. I love country town savoury mince breakfasts and I'd rate this as right up there with the best. My wife's Chicken schnitzel burger was also very nice. Chicken eas well cooked and not at all dry or chewy. Hot chips were good.. hot, crispy outside and fluffy inside. Passed the snap test easily. Another very enjoyable brunch.

Owner wasn’t very pleasant only 4 people 3 including my self waiting to be served ordered pancakes for my daughter and eggs Benedict with bacon for myself my daughter enjoyed the pancakes but my food poached egg were well over done more like bouncy balls and bacon was stone cold we waited over 30 minutes after ordering for over priced crap on a plate the person cooking needs to learn how to poach eggs or it needs to be taken off the menu very dissatisfied will never stop there again

Went back twice for breakfast. They actually cook the food you order, unlike other nearby places. Service was quick and food was delicious both days.
