Farm Gate Providore

Service was very friendly the Kitchener bun was fantastic, real cream. Pavlova with strawberries cream and chocolate also wonderful. Coffee is great, latte and espresso but not decaf.
The Staff were fantastic as they were closing the pointed us to a beautiful park across the road where we enjoyed our coffee and the kids enjoyed the food.

Yum! They do say that you first eat with your eyes… and the Farm Gate Providore certainly plays to this sense. As you walk past, it is irresistible not to stop. Enormous lamingtons, macaroons and other cakes stacked up enticing you to indulge. Not to mention the enormous amounts of fresh strawberries and chocolate available throughout the store. Whether it is sweet or savoury, this is a great place to stop and connect with friends. The perfect combination is sitting in one of the large comfy Louis style chairs on the sidewalk, a sunny day, a hot delicious beverage or smoothie, a delectable Providore creation, and your besty sitting across from you. The making of a perfect afternoon!

Just looking at this shop will make your mouth salivate for hours. The desserts are the most mouth-​watering items I have ever seen. A description does not give them justice but here we go– macaroons, mini cakes and chocolates, fresh strawberries and a chocolate fountain. Anywhere with a chocolate fountain wins so many points. There is something amazing about litres and litres of warm melted chocolate.
All the items they sell are made in the shop and I bet they all taste delicious. Unfortunately, I did not have the money or the stomach room to sample everything, but Mum and I purchased macaroons, chocolates and coffee. The little chocolates were beautiful to look at; they had little patterns on top– the sort of thing that you think is too good looking to eat. The macaroon I had was salted caramel. I love salted caramel and it tasted good. Not the best macaroon I’ve had but definitely in the top 5!
The shop itself does not have much seating especially outside. So it is possible that you may not be able to find somewhere to sit. But, you can get the desserts take away! Luckily enough we found a little table outside. All the outdoor furniture is quirky and doesn’t match, I think this gives the café a nice feel and personality.

This is the place to go if you’re looking for fresh food or naughty but nice treats.
Farm Gate Providore has everything from fresh produce, such as strawberries and blueberries, to shelves full of jams and cute cakes, French-​style pastries and sandwiches.
CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN
There was also a chocolate fountain when my friend and I went there that was surrounded by cups of fresh strawberries, inviting us to dive in.
CHOCOLATE BOX SETTING
The produce is housed in a pretty little building with a little white fence and corrugated iron roof. There are pretty flowers behind the fence outside one side of the store and there is a cabinet full of sweet treats on the other side.
There’s a little black iron gate on the roof too, just in front of the sign, which is a bit bizarre but I guess it emphasises the name in a quirky way.
