You can fix the issue by simply using file_get_contents() instead :

return file_get_contents(public_path('storage/template.csv'));

This will work if you have created the symlink as well php artisan storage:link,

If you want to use storage_path, then :

return file_get_contents(storage_path('app/public/'.'template.csv'));
