I love weekend brunch. I cook at home most of the time, but brunch on the weekends requires going out to eat. I was really surprised to find the Hideout Cafe just up the hill from New West Station; it's in an area that's mostly wedding shops and chain restaurants. However, I've noticed that downtown New West has been gaining a good number of little gems lately, and the Hideout Cafe is on the list.

I had a tasty omelette, with whatever the special ingredients of the day were (I forget now). The service was outstanding, although that was partially because I was the only one there at the time (it was around 2pm on a Sunday, the weekend of one of the major festivals). The server and I talked about food, New West, and lots of random things while my meal cooked.

Good food, great tea selection, and a location in a neighbourhood I've been spending more and more time in--I'll definitely be back.

I had went to the hideout cafe earlier this week when i wanted to get away from all the winter Olympic stuff going on downtown Vancouver. I ordered the Mango Chicken Wrap and side salad. I also had a large latte with my meal. Now the food taste and flavor is definitely there but the price is absolutely ridiculous. Our province is going through a lot of rough times right now and to charge somebody over $10 for a wrap< salad and latte. I went to Waves later that evening and experienced just as good as a meal and drink as i did at the hideout cafe and saved $3. My suggestion is that you lower your prices a little bit and you may get more clients and more business. Thank you for my experience at your cafe.

what can I say...awesome little place. we frequent this place for its scrabble game and paninis. the staff is friendly, and one can easily tell they take pride in their homemade, sometimes-organic, health-conscious oral assortments. the americanos ain't bad either. they don't skimp out on the ingredients...there's truffle oil in the vegetarian panini. the atmosphere is quite nice, not too pretentious, and not too derivative. not at all really. and thankfully, somehow, this cafe has been free of freaks everytime I've been there.

My wife and I read the reviews on dinehere.ca a few days ago and decided to try it for breakfast this morning. They have a good selection of muffins, bagles, wraps, etc in the display cases. They have good self-serve coffee in pump carafes. My wife had the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and "squirly" toast (multi-grain) and I had the French toast with seasonal fruit (fresh strawberry, previously frozen but firm and fresh-tasting blueberry, raspberry and blackberry). She enjoyed hers and I can say the French toast, dusted with icing sugar, was so delicious I didn't need syrup. The cafe is pleasant and very clean and the staff is friendly. It has fewer than 10 tables and it sounds like it gets very busy for lunch but for breakfast at 9:30 it was perfect. We'll be back.

This hidden gem is certainly worth a visit… then many revisits thereafter. Ever since I was introduced to the cafe I've found myself going on an increasingly regular basis. The owners, who are extremely friendly, help to make it a perfect place to just hang out and relax. The atmosphere is exactly what you need to unwind or just chill.

Now the food… The food is something else. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve had to date and the best part is that they rotate the menu. There’s always something new, or an old favorite popping back up when you come in. To be honest, I don’t think I can do it justice. You just have to stop in and give it a shot… You definitely won’t regret it.

This little cafe just opened in January, offering nice coffee and decently priced, yummy food. I've had the French toast and eggs benedict so far, and they were both good-well cooked, and lighter/healthier tasting rather than heavy or greasy. The staff is friendly and chatty. There is also internet available, but I think you have to pay. It's a few blocks off of 8th st, near the skytrain station, and I hope enough people find it that it can stay in business.
