Bump Gate Cafe

We won’t return. Happened upon this place after stopping in the middle of nowhere driving from Vegas to Houston. A bit pricey for what you get but I think that’s because they’re in the oil patch and alternative fast food or Mexican food. So they’re a niche. It’s a nice atmosphere, food is okay the lettuce was old and black tinged (photo) so I picked that out and the deli corned beef was wafer thin (photo) — I’m used to NYC Delis where it’s piled high — good service. The French Dip was okay.

Sept 24-25, 2019: We were in Sonora to see the Caverns. Our hotel had weak coffee, so on a quest for coffee we found the Bump Gate. It was fabulous! We returned the next day and had spectacular pancakes, toast, bacon-cooked-just-right, and coffee of course! They have Texan-rustic decor, which I love. Wonderful crew; and an all-around great place to meet, greet and eat!

It was very busy when I stopped by, both with people dining in and the phone ringing off the hook with to go orders. Staff was all friendly and on top of things. I ordered a selection of the "cold case creations" to eat later and everything was delicious. I'll certainly be stopping by again on my next trip through town. Great location, too - right on the old main street, with views of the courthouse, and in a gorgeous historic building.
