Owner Sarah was busy preparing cranberry sauce when we randomly found this jewel. We were travelling north towards Algonquin Park and googled lunch options at North Gower. We were stunned to find vegan and gluten free options in such a tiny town, and I looked twice to make sure I wasn't being redirected to Ottawa!
My lunch companion had a gf sandwich made to order and we both loved the spicy Thai chicken soup on a cool fall day. I topped off my meal with a pumpkin-gingerbread square. It was so delicious that ordinary pumpkin pie is now lost on me!
There were hearty meals to go, salads, a range of desserts, both gluten free and traditional flour based. All served by Sarah's kind and accommodating assistant.
Google maps' GPS will take you there, but the shop is small and we did circle the block looking for it. Take a close look at the store front in my photo to know what you are 5 for. The shop is set up for take out but has comfy cafe seating.
Savour local in rural Eastern Ontario!
Vegetarian options: Willing to make for you.
Dietary restrictions: Went above and beyond to accommodate food allergies.

The Kitcheness has become a staple here in North Gower. I would describe this eatery as country. From the classic country salads (broccoli, potato, macaroni) to the classic desserts it brings me back to my childhood and I love it.
I see some people complaining about the price in other reviews, but the food here is all homemade, even some sauces are homemade. The roast beef is made by the owner each week I believe too. So, although it does cost about $20 for a sandwich combo you are eating healthy, homemade food which Tim Hortons could never beat.
Ps. Her scones are literally the best in the city.

Cute enough inside. A nice selection of more lunch sandwich options, quite limited with regards to espresso/ cafe drinks. I came specifically for a coffee, and the only redeeming quality about the coffee I had (on two separate occasions) was that it was hot; I drink my coffee black and did not find the coffee flavourful or in anyway delicious. There is a good variety of baked goods and pastries. I would not go out of my way to come here again.

This is a cute little cafe. They have so many options and a great selection of gluten free options it was difficult to choose just one. The young ladies who were running the counter were such a pleasure! What a hidden gem and a highly recommend!

The soup and sandwiches at this place are among the best I’ve ever had. The meals to go are good and convenient too. Do yourself a favour and go to North Gower.
Everything you get here is stellar!!) From awesome soups to fresh, grilled panini's and all the wonderful desserts! She has it all and it's incredibly good!

The sandwiches and soups I've had here are incredible. Yes, a bit pricey, but this is a local small business I'd be happy to support. Service is a bit hit and miss. Always friendly but not always efficient. That said, this isn't a Tim Hortons here you intend to pop in and out. They have a cute seating area to enjoy while you wait for your food.

Very friendly, welcoming and capable server. Food fresh and delicious. Pastries and speciality drinks decadent. I was very impressed with the variety and assortment of menu items given the size of the store. Refrigerated prepared- meals a nice option for seniors and busy Moms. Several customers clearly regulars, were known by name! Lunch rush and there was standing room only. Clean and tastefully decorated. Furnishings minimal, but ample. AC was very welcome. I highly recommend this 'little oasis' to any hungry travellers passing through. Well supported by local folk and that speaks volumes. Good food @ good prices.
