Lovely brunch menu, great baking and a very cute set-up. Staff were pleasant but felt annoyingly rushed- eg lifting plates while one of us was still eating. We had 2 courses each and coffees and felt like we were being pushed out, though more than half of the other tables were free. Very off putting. Had the pancake stack with bacon and maple syrup which was delicious, and very filling. Unfortunately one of the pancakes was still raw in the middle, also off putting. A shame, as this has been a favourite place for a while.

Should have eaten somewhere else! 2 normal fry ups and 2 coffees was over £35! This is not some high end fancy restaurant, it's a student cafe, with mismatched decor, at best! The food was not good and the price was absolutely ridiculous. Don't waste your time looking for this place, some things are best left hidden.

Very poor experience… the menu seems to have recently changed, with very limited choices compared to the old menu. The quality also seems to have really decreased, our food was very lacklustre, with parts of the brunch cold and stale bread served. And an “avocado smash” brunch, made with mass produced guacamole instead of actual avocado? Very disappointed

We were here for breakfast and the breakfasts were perfectly fine as were the teas. It was strange to have to ring the doorbell and be taken to a table but hey-ho I'm just out of the mindset of COVID like precautions. However, although the restaurant was not crowded, the background noise was dreadful. I cannot imagine how much strident sound half a dozen small children or several ladies-of-a-certain-age would generate. Sadly, it will be my abiding memory of The Hideaway.

First time dining here . First impression the cafe is beautiful and staff very friendly . Found very little choice on menu if you don't like bagels or sour dough bread . Both of which my friend has an intolerance too . To save embarrassing ourselves I ordered food and my poor friend sat with tea . There was a mix up with order and I waited an extremely long time for scrambled eggs and toast . The egg was lovely but the sourdough was very hard and couldn't bite it . We both felt the prices were also a bit high for what it was . It was busy and I'm sure other diners were happy, but wasn't for us. We ended up in co-op nearby for a brown bread sandwich for my friend.

Far too overpriced. We thought our bill was incorrect at first. £17.80 for a latte, a cinnamon latte, a brownie and a slice of carrot cake. I have since checked surrounding cafe's, and their prices are nowhere near as dear. For the same order, it looks like we'd of paid around £12 (i.e La Cucina has their lattes priced at £2.95, compared to £4.50 at The Hideaway, and 'Friend of Mine' has them at £3 - £3.80). The cafe has a nice interior, and nothing negative to say about the staff. Our server was lovely (I think she had an American accent). The coffees and cakes also tasted great, but the prices unfortunately soured this and are just too high for this current climate where price is the most important thing.

Menu looks interesting, food and drinks looked good and nice atmosphere. Maybe avoid if you’re going alone as never got to try anything. One of those places that isn’t good unless you’re a table of 2+. Waited to be asked my order for 20mins and left after a table of six that came in 10mins after me were having their order taken. If you don’t mind being in the face then you’d be ok but didn’t feel like it and want to be placed in the rude customer category 😅

I used to go here pre-covid, but it has changed. My friend and I went there for a light lunch and asked for soup, the reply was 'we don't do soup'. OK, what scones do you have - 'we don't have scones'. We opted for fruit loaf and coffee. The cost was far higher than we usually pay elsewhere, so we won't be going there again

I was in Bridge Of Allan for an antiques fair and a local friend took me to the Hideaway. A lovely, very well run cafe with attentive service, even though the place was full on a Saturday. My coffee was very good indeed - and I'm hard to please on that score! I had the spicy beans with poached egg and it was truly delicious. Highly recommended

Went in originally just for coffee but every plate of food that passed us amazed us so we simply had to get brunch, it was everything we hoped for and more. We got the be naughty pancakes which were fluffy and cooked to perfection. We also got the Caesar salad which was show stopping and would definitely be worth the trip back from Perth alone. Waitresses were very accommodating and friendly and the food came out in no time. Overall no complaints, just that I couldn’t bring kitchen staff home with me!

I was very impressed with this cafe, which as the same suggests is set back from the main Street in Bridge of Allan although there is easy parking nearby. It's got an accessible entrance for prams/mobility aids. The food was of an unexpectedly high quality and coffee was excellent. Good atmosphere and service was fairly prompt too. This is an excellent lunch stop and I plan to return in future.

What a beautiful little cafe! You just couldn't go in here with any negativity and I am very surprised at some people's behaviour towards hospitality staff. We witnessed the lovely Italian waitress be berated by an extremely rude lady so sad for someone to be so negative in life.... Anyway this hidden gem is not a place for scones or bacon rolls however the breakfast menu is extensive, refreshing and delicious!! Don't even get me started on the vast array of fabulous homemade cakes 😋 I had the zingy salmon which was to die for as was my huge millionaires shortcake. We can't wait to return.

As I arrived I was spoken to by a rather rude waitress. Took me back. She initially said sit anywhere then when I sat down she said not there! I could detect an atmosphere in there among the staff. I didn’t feel welcome. It’s very over priced and there are lots of other nicer cafes to choose from, I would say avoid. I contacted them via messenger to say I wasn’t happy with my experience and they didn’t even apologise or find out what had happened to follow it up. I see there are a few reviews on here about the staff being rude I’m not surprised. Take your custom elsewhere

Foodie Secret haven. Not your average place, rather a bistro with eclectic menu and specialties. Everything from new takes on bagels and omelettes (try the Zingy Salmon!) and the most luxurious pancake stacks with fresh toppings to be had. Great vegetarian food, and they even invented a Matcha iced latte with fresh strawberries. The desserts and cakes are fresh made, and out of this world. Notes: they are VERY busy sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. Very friends and family, very relaxed, very comnfortable. DOgs are welcome.

This cafe is very pretty inside and clean. However… Food was average and definitely not worth the money. It’s incredibly expensive. I know this is a cafe in bridge of Allan, which is predominantly expensive however, you would assume the food would be better for the price. One thing which made me dislike my experience the most was the staff. Was served by a young girl who was taking orders, she was very slow taking orders. Not just with our table, but many tables in the cafe as well. Further, another woman I assume as the manager is what I would call as rude. She was rude to customers around us as well as overhearing talk of other tables and complaining about them, not discreetly either. Her staff don’t have many manners and seem very depressed in their work place. I wonder why. There are many lovely spots around the area which I would recommend. This is not worth your money.

We love this place obviously as we have been here at least once or twice a month for at least 10 years.The quality coffee is what get us back and the food served at lunch time that is on a par with the other eateries in the village if not better. This is probabily what gives the management the confidence to politely ask people to leave when silly demands can't be met. Fresh food, fair prices . and prompt efficient service is what call us back over and over again .Thank you to all

My experience here was horrible a couple days ago I visited the hide away cafe with my grandparent the coffee was burnt and was undrinkable I had a conversation with a lady sitting a table down after returning my coffee she told me about how her coffee was rotten and how her sons cake was rock hard after that I sat back down and watched as the barista/manager came over to her table and kicked her out for “persuading customers who to leave so her and her son left happily then the manager came over to us and started to be extremely round to grandparents who are both elderly accusing them of calling her coffee rotten then she said to us “you’re conversating is extremely rude I am not be rude I’m being polite and kind the exit is right here make yourself out of my shop now everything’s free today. I DO NOT RECOMMEND and can imagine this spot will be going out of business soon.

In retrospect, our first mistake was walking in off the street without checking reviews. Wish the Hideaway had been more ‘hidden’. Granted, there’s plenty of positive reviews. But too many show a concerning pattern of staff or owner with a terrible manner towards customers. I’ve never heard of a place that tells as many customers to leave! Had the worst experience because of daring to state the obvious when food that wasn’t up to scratch. Separately, customers who don’t “strictly” order off menu won’t be tolerated! What’s that about?! Too many other places on the main road to visit.

Positives Bright decor. Clean. Table given right away. Pleasant waiting staff initially serving 4 of us. Not so good None of us enjoyed the food we ordered. Pancakes were stodgy and portions small. Coffee isn't great quality. Two different cakes were stodgy and flavourless. Not cheap. Reasonable and basic request re food was met with refusal to accommodate/ staff inflexible. Staff disinterested in plates of food obviously not enjoyed. Customer services is poor. Overheard woman, possibly owner/ manager, being very rude to a table. Don’t make the mistake of saying anything negative about what you’re brought if you go. No one seems that bothered about your experience. This place looks the part. It isn't.

This was one of our worst experiences. We waited for some time to be seated so we seated ourselves. The tables and chairs needed attention from previous visitors. We were asked if we wanted drinks or food, we said both and then we were asked if we wanted a menu!! I would like to point out that the menu online is different from the one we were given. The waiter came to take our drink order, he had no clue what a glass of Merlot was, is there no training for staff!! After a few minutes before our drinks arrived, the Duty Manager came out of the kitchen, spoke to the waiter then proceeded to ask us if we would like to move through to the restaurant as it's nicer. When our food arrived, the waitress was very unsure of what she was doing, again, a lack of training. The food presentation was average and looking around I got the feeling that the other guests were unhappy. I dread to think what it would have been like if the place was busy as the staff were uninterested. When we were ready to leave the staff were nowhere to be found and I headed to the bar to ask if we can pay the bill, I was greeted by a very vacant look before the Duty Manager appeared. I will not be back and that is due to the untidy appearance of the premises, the uninterested staff and the food was nothing to write home about. I am sorry for being blunt but this is an opportunity to make improvements and employ staff who want to be there to deliver the customer experience.

A bit out of the way, but all worth it if you get a table with a view. Best fish n’ chips tried so far, and the pizzas were tasty. The haggish in particular was amazing. Worth travelling for, for evening meals or part of a day trip in the area.
