“Whether you’re a regular or discovering it for the first time, Hide Away Coffee House is one of those rare cafés that makes you want to linger just a little longer,” Homegirl London.
Hide Away Coffee House Menu
It’s easy to see why locals form an early morning queue here. The coffee is expertly made, offering a smooth and rich depth of flavour. I chose a latte, which was velvety and well-balanced, but their menu features all the classics, from espresso to flat white and mocha, along with seasonal treats such as pumpkin spice. If tea is more to your liking, you’ll find a carefully curated selection, ranging from bold black tea and fragrant Earl Grey to soothing chamomile and zesty ginger blends. Their juices and smoothies, like the vibrant Sunrise or the protein-rich Hulk, serve as perfect pick-me-ups for a refreshing twist.
The food is equally enticing. I couldn’t resist the cheese and tomato croissant; it was wonderfully flaky, buttery, and generously stuffed.
Hide Away’s pastry selection is a delight for sweet lovers. Their almond croissants are rich and nutty, with a crisp exterior and a soft, frangipane-filled centre. Pains au chocolat feature golden, flaky layers enveloping smooth dark chocolate, while cinnamon buns are swirled with warm spices and topped with a perfect sticky glaze. Apricot danishes provide a fruity twist, and granola bars offer a wholesome mix of oats, nuts, and dried fruit for an energising boost on the go.
