Context is everything. This two storey cafe in the middle of not much else is a magnet for families and group gatherings. Great new place to go for coffee & cake. Menu looks eclectic and smells of garlic emanating from the busy kitchen make you want to stay for lunch. Quality build even down to the double glazing!

Lovely cafe. there is a downstairs and an upper sitting area. The downstairs area is a bit tight, but i did notice that a clinet in a wheelchair was able to enter and be allocated a place at a table. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We enjoyed a wander through the nursery and the gardens attached, which all added to the enjoyable experience.

Joel & Leon and Staff are champions at Hospitality! I visited on the long weekend (Monday) to find the closed. They were to be open but ran out of coffee, milk and food on Sunday afternoon. So went back on Tuesday for coffee, muffin and eggs in toast. Excellent in all facets of hospitality via a top notch cafe in a small rural town. Surprise yourself by visiting soon! Tell Joel or Leon that David sent you to enjoy for a while. Thanks for all your efforts team! You are the talk of the region and further afield too. Best advertising was what happened to you over your opening weekend. ⭐You are onteam!

We have been to Gargarro before and it never disappoints! Beautiful food and a chat with Joel, greeted like old friends. Well done to all the staff there, they do a great job. And an extra star- as we were chatting on the phone outside, we could see a staff member cleaning the bottom of the railing on the stairs- this gives you great confidence as a patron when you see that! Thanks again, yummy and will be back for sure
