They're creating a community here—amazing to see. Employees are all kind. Shockingly good food and bev for a nonprofit; there's better coffees here than in many (most?) for-profit cafes!
Excellent breakfast and coffee place in a serene hideaway location. My pancake with bacon was very delicious and my cappuccino was just perfect. Great friendly service as well. Love this place and will be back
I really wanted to like the Hideaway Café but I've marked it down for a couple of reasons. Firstly the coffee is awful. Both bitter and weak at the same time. It was early in the morning and it didn't taste fresh. Better attention to detail and a better brand of coffee would save the day.
My other concern is purely subjective. When I was there it felt very cliquey and I didn't feel inclined to linger. That's nothing to do with the staff, by the way, who were friendly and courteous but it seems to attract the sort of clientele who regard themselves as "regulars" that view anyone new with suspicion. They really need to get more passing trade - a hard thing to do given the admittedly tranquil location.
So overall a good effort in a pleasant location but I can't see it lasting, sadly.
Nice place for coffee and Brunch. Coffee is good and food is good although a bit overpriced.
4 stars for the place.
Really lovely hidden gem just off the high street by York Road. Looking out over the old bowling green it’s a calm lovely place with a great value menu
Guildford’s best kept secret. This truly wonderful cafe is a real hidden gem, even in the pouring rain, one can sit inside, and enjoy the peace of a large green area, with a view right to the north downs ridge, and a well tended walled garden. On a dry day there is a wooden deck, with the same view. Friendly staff, small but delicious menu, quiet, and above all, its an NFP enterprise, with all profits going to community social enterprise. Good coffee, good people, friendly and welcoming, with good prices too. What’s not to like? Definitely highly recommended.
Fab little cafe hidden away with cosy atmosphere and good food as well as a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for lunch and relaxing
Tasty food at a good price. The inside is lovely with plants and artwork as well as friendly staff. We’d recommend the avocado on toast!
Great coffee, awesome ham and cheese croissant and the service is always with a smile. The Hideaway is a gem.
Food is fantastic and The feta and sweet potato roll is TO DIE FOR. It has a lovely atmosphere surrounded by a beautiful garden area, especially nice to enjoy in the summer :)
