Hideout Signature Cafe and Restaurant

Hideout is a careworn but pleasant little cafe near Lidcombe railway station. Our food was nice and the coffee was excellent. With their anticipated extended trading hours I wish them well in an area about to experience an influx of apartment dwellers.

I thought I'd try this new venue in Lidcombe, situated on the site of the former JJ Coffee House. The fit-out of the interior looks new and fresh, featuring wood panelling. It's clean and tidy as well. I was greeted almost as soon as I entered the shop, the friendly staff member took my order of a small flat-white coffee, and a hamburger. I was told that the burger was served with a choice of a side, chips or salad. I opted for chips, my preferred burger pairing. I took a seat and waited, soon a bottle of chilled tap water and a glass were placed on my table. Very refreshing on a hot day. The coffee arrived next, it was very well made, very drinkable, smooth texture, not too bitter. Finally, the main event, the burger and chips. The chips were ideal, hot, a thin and crispy outer shell, and a fluffy interior. The portion size was an ideal addition to the burger, IMO. Speaking of the burger, it was of a generous size, featuring a fresh bun, crisp leafy greens, juicy tomato slices, just enough sauce to lift the flavour without overwhelming it, and a flavourful, well cooked meat pattie. All in all, a very well made and delicious hamburger. I had a very enjoyable dining experience, there was absolutely nothing to fault with the customer service or the quality of the food. Having tried their hamburger, I'm keen to give some of their other menu items a go. Recommended.

“The food here is absolutely amazing — every dish is full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Santosh truly has magic in his cooking; you can taste the passion and skill in every bite. Highly recommended!”

Been here a few times, and it never disappoints! The coffee is amazing rich and smooth every time. The food is great too fresh and full of flavour. Friendly service and a cozy vibe make it a perfect spot to visit!

Absolutely love this café! It’s super convenient to get to — just steps away from public transport, which makes it my go-to spot. They use really fresh produce, the coffee is always on point, and the prices are very reasonable. The environment is cozy and welcoming — perfect for catching up with friends or just relaxing with a good cup of coffee. Highly recommend!

We went to check out the new cafe that was previously JJs for 40 years. The new decor was nice. They serve the standard brunch menu items with additional nepalese items which we will defo be back to try. Had a lovely experience here for brekky this morning, nice space, staff were good, food was great, pricing was standard! We had the signature smashed avo, brekky burger and a kids pancakes and all were great. Some minor things that I'd like to note were probably have some music as it was super quiet and if the maple syrup for the pancakes was served on the side that would be good. Otherwise, no qualms, loved it! Glad there's something new and different on Lidcombe!

Small and simple but clean and inviting. Nice food and modern prices. Excellent customer service. Burger should stay on the grill a bit longer, bit unsafe to eat if you left it bleeding

Their smoothie was fresh, perfectly blended, and full of flavor—just what I needed to start my day. The acai bowl was equally amazing, topped with a generous amount of fresh fruits and granola. Everything tasted so natural and healthy. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was super friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a healthy and delicious treat.
