Craving a meal that warms the soul and fills the stomach? Look no further than Gourmet Cafe in Toowoomba! This hidden gem isn't your typical restaurant. It offers something far more special: a taste of home cooking. Every dish is made from scratch, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. They grow their fruits and vegetables on-site, ensuring the highest quality ingredients for their dishes. The cozy atmosphere here only enhances the experience. The open dining options create a charmingly homey feel and make you feel connected to nature. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel like part of the family. They also have a lot of handicrafts, home decor, and a huge plantation. The Danish cookies and pastries are my personal favorites. For travelers on a long journey who are passing through Toowoomba, Gourmet Cafe is a welcome oasis. Whether you dine in or grab some delicious food to go, the hearty, home-cooked meals will refuel your body and soul, and the warm, open atmosphere will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to hit the road again.

This is a little treasure. The food is lovely, and the service is always good, but the serenity of the surroundings is perfect, especially on a sunny,warm day. It's a regular visit for me.

Seated outside in the shade & cool wind. Perhaps would have been better if seated on the sunny side. Great if you want scones. Other items fairly restricted.
