Just finished a delicious freshly baked mars bar scone and cup of tea. I was sitting on my own and two employees Joe and Jordan came over to check everything with my food was alright and start a conversation, it was lovely to feel so welcomed and all staff are so pleasant and courteous. Daisy also chatted to my baby boy which was so sweet. The cafe does great work providing training and employment opportunities for individuals of all abilities. My favourite cafe in Ards!
I've popped in here a few times when attending docs or hospital. A lovely spot for lunch or cuppa and a wee treat. Good food. Lovely location. Friendly, efficient staff. ��
the food is amazing the staff are amazing friendly helpful I could go on my daughter loves going there for tea and cake and the staff are amazing with kids
If excellent food, friendly faces and first class service is your thing, you won’t go wrong by visiting The Gatelodge Cafe. #A1
Called in for lunch today. Had beautiful homemade sausage roll & a cappuccino which were both lovely. First time I've visited and would recommend to others.☕️
A great place to chill out with a nice cup of coffee or tea, in relaxing surroundings. The staff are brilliant.

Food is always delicious, building airy, and staff pleasant. Best place in Ards. So pleased to see people with disabilities being included in the workplace.
Hi went in a few weeks ago for first time with my wife as we had appointment at the hospital the food was so nice love the new place and the staff were lovely diffently be back sometime.
Popped in today for the first time. The renovated building is Beautiful and quirky. The new extension is lovely with natural light, the real wood tables are gorgeous and the fireside chairs are so comfy. Food is delicious and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for another visit.
Fabulous place & great staff! Good luck to everyone in this new adventure x
The staff were friendly and food was very appetising. Our first visit but not our last.
Light & bright with very friendly staff & yummy menu. Very kid friendly.
First time here and definitely not the last. Staff are fantastic. Scones are delicious. My new number one coffee shop ☺
What a hidden gem in Ards! Hospital visits are never pleasant and easy but 2 steps away (literally) from Ards community hospital there is this lovely cafe! Delicious coffees, traybakes and food. Above all that - one of the nicest service! Staff are all sweethearts. Can't wait to be back
Fantastic wee cafe set in the entrance of the hospital, good food at reasonable prices, clean, tidy and overly relaxed atmosphere
Lovely food and cakes. Friendly and helpful staff. Great coffee.
I had a large scone with butter,cream and jam. Tea came in a china tea pot. What's not to love ❤️
Very friendly and helpful staff lovely food
Just had a lovely lunch here, tasty food, good value, in a historic building tastefully updated. A social enterprise well worth your support.
met with my daughter for lunch and the service was very welcoming. the food was tasty and fresh and would definitely recommend anyone to try it.
Lovely lunch as always. Friendly staff with great food and a cozy setting
First visit to this lovely cafe. Was waiting there while hubby at appointment at the hospital. Comfy seats near entrance and good selection of traybakes. Lovely friendly staff. Will definitely go again and try the soup of the day for lunch.
Lovely wee cafe - scones were delicious! And service was great too. Reasonably prices which was a bonus
Very nice and quiet place. Lovely coffee. Didn't try anything else but scones looked and smell very nice.
A wonderful cafe and organisation. Gatelodge operates by Stepping Stones Charity supports people with a learning disability to become employable in the hospitality industry. Gatelodge provides training including relevant NVQ's and work experience both front of house and in the kitchen. Given all that the cafe itself is the icing on the cake! It's light and airy with a nice atmosphere but with some nooks if u want privacy and the food is excellent and varied.
The Gatelodge cafe was very cosy and the staff most helpful. The lunch was tasty and well cooked. More than happy with the meal and the value.
Excellent service and great food. Love the concept, training for adults with learning difficulties. Will certainly be back. Thanks
Very helpful and attentive staff. A tasteful menu. We would hope to make this a regular stop.
Lovely atmosphere, great food and very friendly staff.
Lovely, clean setting . Easily accessible and lovely simple wholesome food. And a great charitable cause
