Garden Gate Cafe

Traveling through on our way back to Midwest Illinois and found this place on Google. Very impressed and glad we stopped. The atmosphere is perfect, very chill and clean. The waitress was so friendly and did an excellent job. The bakery area is adorable and has it's own little atmosphere. We took some cupcakes and cookies to go. Food was really good. The piggystack is highly recommended! Backed beans and green beans too! I liked the green beans my husband ordered so much I ordered some to go as well. We left stuffed and with plenty to take on the road and the prices were excellent!! I wish I could pick this place up and locate it in my home town.

While in Peru, Indiana. My Young Beautiful Bride and I the Garden Gate Cafe, It was delightfully clean and festive looking. Oddly enough, we had to look through the menu and order before taking our table. The food was delicious, I had the Meatloaf special and My Young Beautiful Bride had a salad with breadsticks. After bringing us our food, we never saw our waiter again. The dining area was open and in a large room, the restroom was absolutely Beautiful, very clean. My Young Beautiful Bride has eaten here many times and she thinks that I should have an open mind, she really likes it, and she said that if I give it another chance, I will definitely like it to. So, I will definitely be visiting this place again, with my Young Beautiful Bride.

I’ve been here twice and the staff is always so friendly. Great chill place to meet with friends. I recommend their tasty salads over the pizza but the sandwiches/entrees also looked great. Delicious deserts!

This is a cute little cafe. They do say that they have gluten-free options but not all the options especially desert wise or gluten-free so please be careful. They were very respectful of food allergies. The food came out really fast which was nice. I don't think the food was anything special. I enjoyed the baked beans and the salad. The blackberry iced tea is really where it's at.

Great place in downtown Peru. The food was excellent. The people were very friendly. The salted caramel cupcake is worth the trip in. When I'm in the area again, you can bet I will stop here again.
