Live from the Cafe Tory Gates

"What did you dream today?"



Harlandsville, Quebec-look up the definition of small town in a dictionary, and you'll find its picture.



A one-stoplight village, Harlandsville doesn't have a lot to offer, or so it seems. Old homes, an abandoned mill, a gas station, one Chinese takeout joint, and a former pub turned into a coffee shop. For the latter, one learns never to judge a book by its cover.



One step through the doors of Le Cafe, and you enter a world where the coffee is brewed one pot at a time through a strange machine, the pastries are homemade, and the music is a roadmap of Canada's history.



Presided over by Luc, the son of one of Harlandsville's most loved residents and his partner Emily, the cafe is home to natives and visitors alike. Where the coffee is strong, the spirit of friendship stronger, and occasional strange (and famous?) characters show up to hang out, and play music.



Small-town life, love, change, prejudice, pasts and futures are examined and experienced. The heartbeat of Harlandsville is right here. You never know who'll show up, or what will happen next, Live from the Cafe...
