Classic spot! Welcoming staff, you know you're in good hands with them. Great variety of hot/cold drinks and snacks/meals. Grab a quick bite or lounge and get some work done here

Went with work colleagues yesterday and I had no idea this place existed around the corner from our office!

Had the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. The grilled cheese was pretty nice--generous amount of cheese with a good 'pull', bread was lightly buttered and toasted. Tomato soup was very creamy (as in, it contains a generous amount of cream)--combined, it was a fairly heavy meal. Everything came out hot and fresh. Pricing was very reasonable.

We had our lunch on the patio (another plus). Heads up that this cafe is on the smaller side, so if you're hoping to dine-in with three or more people, lean towards the earlier side of the lunch rush.

The kicker is the staff--it's my first time here but I was warmly greeted by a female employee. I later learned that we shared similar first names! Of course I need to come back--especially because my colleagues strongly recommended the corn soup!

For lunch I ordered a tasty grilled Old Fashioned Ham & Swiss Cheese Bagel with a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup. Excellent soup!!!👍😃
Had a 12 oz cup of Reg. Drip Coffee which was just the right strength!☕️
Nice little patio outside the side door.
Staff were friendly and caring.
I would recommend trying this cafe out!!

Jury selection was canceled so my partner and I nipped over to grab a coffee and sit on the patio for a little while - staff were very attentive. The Ginger Peach tea was excellent and well priced - would come here again

For those who love Italian style coffee this is a great spot! It was so good. I just wish it was open on weekends

Waited a really long time to try this place for their gooey cinnamon rolls, since their signs always made them sound the best. We managed to snag the last two rolls that day, but I was disappointed when they tasted just average like something from Cinnzeo or Cinnabon. Good enough, but no homemade quality about it.

The chipotle corn chowder and bagel sandwich were delicious and filling. I would go back for lunch if nearby.

Atmosphere was chill and relaxed enough, but our server, an older gentleman, was not very friendly. He was very grumpy, grumbled when he spoke, and just didn’t seem to care or want to be there. The lady behind the counter seemed to be more busy and efficient, and made light conversation with my kid when she stepped in to help with our table. If I do come back, I’d go for the lunch specials, not the cinnamon rolls or the particular server.

Food is amazing!

Food is ok, definitely an extra heater somewhere would make a difference. We were told certain tables were only for lunch customers and expected a big rush, but it was empty throughout the entire morning until around midday. Food is okay (we tried the famous cinnamon bun and found it to be nothing special), drink was good, atmosphere could use an upgrade. I’m a big supporter of small businesses but charging the same prices as nice coffee shops with a not so welcoming space makes me not want to return.

Mango chicken wrap. 👌🏼

Veggie breakfast wrap is my fave. I always come to visit when I'm in the area.

I tried out The Hide Out Cafe for the first time this morning, I ordered an iced vanilla latte, it was delicious! The woman working had such great energy and made the environment extremely welcoming. I would recommend this cafe to anyone looking for somewhere new to try!

I used to come here years ago all the time for their coffee and their wraps. Came by for the first time in years and it’s still good as ever. The only thing I would have to say is that the place has always been cold that it makes it uncomfortable to sit in and not giving that ‘warm cozy inviting’ feeling. Customer service has been very good. I am not sure why there are so many complaints about the male staff because he has typically been friendly with every interaction I’ve ever had with him. I would definitely recommend this place, especially considering the current crisis we are facing with tariffs. Definitely support local and not just big box establishments

Super friendly staff. The cinnamon bun was expensive but oh so worth it!
