Hidden City Cafe is a cafe with plenty options for all, it has really good options for vegetarian and vegan people too!, they even offer you “scrambled eggs” with tofu if you are vegan. Pastry is delicious as well, as a vegan I was pretty happy to find an space to got a piece of cake in Derry with my partner who said it was amazing (he is not even vegetarian) . The service is really good, the stuff is pretty helpful, the woman today made me a vegan turmeric latte even when was not in the menu!. If you are in Derry make you a favor and visit this cafe!

Came here today and was really disappointed compared to my previous visits. The cafe wasn't busy but waited a long time for it to be served which was surprisingly because I ordered a salad and my partner a sandwich. There were 6 staff behind the till but only one person seemed to be making the food and it took over 30 minutes for food to arrive. My order came out wrong which was frustrating on such a long wait on a salad, however I did get a fresh made fairly quickly but by this point my partner was already finished. Food is rather expensive for what you get, after this experience I'm not sure I'll return.

Myself (gluten free) and my daughter (vegetarian) went for lunch and were really happy with the positive, generous attitude of the staff. They were busy but took their time with each table. The staff were friendly and smiley and were able to recommend different options for us. It was a lovely atmosphere and we could easily have hung out a big longer. The coffee was great and the food was really thoughtful and delicious. Lots of little flavours through the food... And really enjoyable. It's not often I find somewhere that I enjoy the food so much. Well done to all the staff!

Food was excellent and both vegan and meat-lover options (for my sons) were plenty. What we ordered was very nice. We only ate there one time on the day of our departure from Derry but I would have returned if we would have been staying. It took a bit long, but when I mentioned we had to go back for check out and didn't have long, before ordering some extra's it wasn't a problem and they served it quickly (the granola: not too much and really good!!).

Very cute café with a fabulous breakfast offering - we were greeted in a very friendly manner, the service is courteous and the offer ranges from vegan variations, such as avocado toast, to delicacies for sausage lovers. Everything is prepared with love, so a clear recommendation when visiting Derry. Thank you folks :)

Haven’t had the best experience the last few times i’ve gone here, which is really disappointing given this used to be my favourite cafe in the town. We ate in here today and waited ages to get menus given to us, I got up after around 15 minutes of waiting to ask if there were any for us, we then waited a further 20 minutes to get served. The service wasn’t the greatest and we honestly felt a little unwelcome, the portions for the food were poor as well and we waited around 40 minutes for the food, it just wasn’t worth it. The last time I was in here my friend also informed them he had a nut allergy, which our server did write down on the docket, but he was served a sandwich full of walnuts in it. Has definitely gone extremely downhill in recent times.

I am very sorry to say that after having expected great things from this cafe - it had been recommended to us - we were extremely disappointed with our visit. Although our order was promptly taken we unfortunately had to wait over 30 minutes for our food - a muffin, a croissant and a breakfast bap (no bap’s left swopped for bread ). Although the teas was fine the coffee was quite bitter. When we asked about our order - after about half an hour - we were told “we’re busy”! Although our tea and coffee arrived quite promptly (not great coffee to be honest) by the time our order was delivered the tea and coffee was cold. The muffin wasn’t great and the croissant cold and a bit on the chewy side. The breakfast bap was fine - nothing spectacular.. The cost - £23.50. During our wait we did notice two parties get up and leave - probably fed up with the wait. Sorry but we won’t be back.

We arrived 3:30 pm and were greeted and said we were here for sandwiches. We were set at a table and all good. The waitress returned and said, no, now only coffee. You could now tell the dudes making sandwiches were heading out now. You know, I’ve been there. But you advertise you are open til 4 pm. So you do your job. Or start advertising that you aren’t really interested in serving food if it doesn’t work with your plans. So we were ushered out. And here I am on Trip Advisor with the tip for future customers and rating.

Had high expectations of this cafe as had been recommended by a couple of people. They had several good vegan options which is always a plus. Staff were very friendly however slow service for brunch time. Food was average, unfortunately the potato scones were severely burnt and the egg was over cooked. Would probably try again but not have the breakfast.

Very disappointing service. After having read the great reviews we decided to go for a family lunch. We waited for over an hour for our lunch which was salads. We waited with two small children 26 and 9 months. Took approx 30 mins for orders to be taken and an additional 50 mins for the food to arrive. After orders were taken we were then notified that they had ran out of ingredients for 1 order and we needed to reorder a new food. Staff don’t seem to work well together either as we seen a few conflicts behind the counter. We were given 3£ off our food. Embarrassing on their behalf. The food was nice but the experience not.

The Hidden City Café is a wonderful, unpretentious and comforting spot to have a tasty brunch in Derry, with good music too! On my way home to Dublin, from a school pals reunion in Donegal, having dropped friends to the airport for their flight to London, I needed to recharge, and had the best brunch I’ve had in a long time here with little extra touches and trimmings included. While the cafe has strong vegetarian and vegan credentials, they were gracious about serving me tasty traditional pork sausages with a smile. This is the kind of café you will want to make a habit of visiting again and again.

When we walked in we were greeted by a lovely man, but when it came to ordering a woman with utter indifference took it and the soup was at the best warm, cauliflower and cashew... soup was thin, no sign of any vegetable, I found half a cashew, best described as gruel. I asked the lady for black pepper which it could have done with. She either chose to ignore me or has selective hearing. When I paid I was directed to a question on the terminal by a young man at the counter.. It asked: "would you like to leave a gratuity?" Answer: "No".

Service was really nice and polite, however I felt that the size of the portions wasn’t great value for money. Ordered a vegan seitan wrap which was very small. The wrap had just seitan in it and the salad was on the side - it would taste better if the wrap had more ingredients like salad etc. Our server suggested we order loaded fries (which made sense as the wrap was small). The loaded fries just had a bit of sauce and seasoning, I would normally expect loaded fries to be more substantial. Overall, I felt the size of the portions didn’t match the price. But this place definitely has potential.

The menu is highly adaptable and the staff is attentive to those needs. Even the takeaway was superb. Side note: takeaway sandwiches don't come with side salads or anything. They're on the smaller side, but still worthwhile! Ordering two, or adding a cup of deli deliciousness would make for a fuller meal.

This was my first meal in Derry and it did not disappoint! I was seated shortly after 5pm at a window table, so I got to watch the bustle of Derry Halloween festivities while enjoying an espresso martini and their vegan lentil cottage pie (salad side). Price point was good. Service was friendly and efficient (even as the place was filling with costumed ghouls and goblins). Will definitely tell others to check it out!

Supposed to be a special birthday dinner. Firstly an inexperienced waitress spilled red wine all over my niece. She didn't even have the grace to apologize. The food was hit and miss...some good some not so. If you have any dietary requirements I would beware as we were lied to by the kitchen. All in all an overpriced and very unsatisfactory experience
