The food was pretty good it always puts a bad taste in my mouth with service. We arrived and there were several tables open and they said a FIFTEEN MIN wait. I get your servers may be busy but FIFTEEN?! Also servers did not seem busy. One was eating breakfast. There were no silverware rolled. Perhaps they were short staffed but most things could be resolved with proper training.

We liked the Garden Gate Cafe the first time we came and were excited to go back. We were seated immediately, and handed water a few minutes later but were never asked about drink orders. We sat for about 20 minutes without ever once seeing our server while the tables around us were helped. Finally I went inside to place a to-go order with the host who simply said "sorry that server is really busy" and helped me place the order. We sat to wait for our food and one server took our menus away but no one apologized. We did get our to-go orders and both were missing the toast that was supposed to come with them. Really sad to have had such a negative experience at a place that we had previously liked.

Interesting little diner style restaurant. However, access is difficult if anyone in your group uses a wheelchair or a walker. The exterior sidewalk does not have a wheelchair incline. This made access for our 92 year old guest very difficult.Wheelchair accessibility: Difficult due to lack of incline.

I’ve been a regular and usually come on the weekends. Service is 10/10 and the wait staff is incredible. However, the last few weeks I’ve come here, I’ve either had my food undercooked or burned.I’ve had it happen where I took food home and hash brown were black on one side, and raw on the other and had egg shells in my eggs. Or today, when I got the order, and checked it and asked for crispy hash browns they came out nearly raw. And the pancake was not even cooked/was doughy. I sent it back and they deep-dried the hash brown completely and sent back a burnt pancake… They eventually got it but I was at the restaurant for 25 minutes and now I look like a ‘Karen.’I’m not sure what’s up with the kitchen staff at this location, but the last few weeks have made me not want to come here anymore, so I’m not.

I had a veggie scramble and the veggies were cold and the moisture from the scramble was like cold brown water soaking the bottom of the plate. The hash browns were way undercooked. Also we weren’t offered a kids menu and were told we couldn’t sit in a shaded section because that server already had four tables. That would have been totally understandable except they sat us right next to that table with a curtained area that blew over water and got in food and was difficult to manage. Overall it was just a really negative experience.

Horrible. Service is a total joke and food is not what it once was. Cold and tasteless.If you enjoy the Garden Gate Cafe, please save yourself and drive to the Niwot location. They have it very much so figured out

It was delicious until we all got food poisoning. Do NOT EAT the carnitas. What a brutal night we all had. Shame on you for serving us bad pork. Home the food inspectors come today. Give you a little taste of your own

The Chilli relleno's In my brekfast were soggy and tasted weird. Nothing like you would get at a traditional Mexican restaurant. Couldn't eat them. Also very pricey! 3.25 for a cup of coffee!
The food was super, perfect. The staff was warm, and present just enough. The English pancakes were so rich and flavorful, every single one of our dishes was cooked to perfection. Nice patio vibe. Will 100% return.

Went in 8:45 on a Saturday in Longmont. Not terribly busy. The server was friendly but anxious, the co-worker was deeply unfriendly. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash. Absolutely terrible, canned nonsense. At the end of the meal, my partner went to talk to the manager about getting my meal comped. The manager was rude. I've tried both Garden Gates now and never had a need to return.

What a delightful find in a strip mall. Friendly and efficient service from hostess to server. The sink omlette perfectly covers both your breakfast and lunch! Great prices and massive portions. First time there; will not be the last!
Now that is some great food.
