Not totally comfortable for long period but good for an hour or so. And you do want a quick turnover so more customers can dine in. I've been here a couple of times and it gets busier after 11 am. Quiet in the morning with most people having coffee to go. Service is great. They will bring your food and coffee to you when dining in which is unexpected. The flat white is ok, could do with more microfoam but it's good enough. The pastries are really nice. Get the croissant warm up for a better bite.

Such a gem in New West!…read more My partner and I just went here for coffee today and he ordered a cappuccino, while I got myself a matcha latte. Both drinks were made exceptionally well; impressively smooth, foamy, balanced, and clearly prepared with care rather than just being an afterthought. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The vibe feels genuinely inclusive and community-driven, with thoughtful touches like the pop-up bookstore featuring books on race, gender, and queer authors. It feels like a space built for connection, not just coffee. I also love how it transforms depending on the day. The daytime café energy is cozy and welcoming, while on select nights they stay open longer, serve alcohol, and host regular events like DJ nights, board game nights, and other community gatherings. It gives the space a lot of personality and makes it feel alive beyond the usual coffee shop experience. Definitely one of those places that feels more like a neighborhood hub than just a café. I'll be visiting a lot more soon!

What a hidden gem! I loved the matcha and the barista was so nice :) I was surprised to see that…read morethey have both matcha and hojicha on their menu. The matcha taste was not too strong and not the umami matcha but still good nonetheless. I got it with oat milk instead and there wasn't an up charge. It doesn't come with sweetener and u can taste the matcha without it much more but I added 2 pumps of sugar and found that it increased the oat milk taste too much. I would recommend 1-1.5 pumps of liquid sugar (the barista helped me put it in so just ask!). The inside of the cafe was quite cute and they even had a little clothing rack selling second hand items like clothes and shoes! The space is quite big and spacious and has seating at the back as well and washrooms.

Hide Out Cafe is a small, cozy spot with genuinely friendly service. The woman working there was…read morevery welcoming, and I had a chance to chat with the man who is also the cook. He told me he gets up very early every morning to prepare everything from scratch -- even the mayonnaise. Nothing is simply bought ready-made and served, and I think you can taste the difference. The food has much more of a homemade quality to it. I had the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I also tried a cold mocha, which wasn't quite to my taste because I would have preferred more milk, although I realized afterward that I may have been able to ask for extra. The prices felt a little on the high side, but that seems to be increasingly common these days, and knowing how much work goes into making everything fresh each day helps put the price into perspective. There is seating both inside and outside, although it isn't a large place. I noticed quite a few tables marked reserved, so seating may be limited at busier times. What stood out most to me was the care that goes into the food. It's nice to find a place where the person cooking your meal is actually preparing things from scratch every day rather than relying on pre-made products.

It is a small space, but full of personality and charm. We ordered a Matcha Latte ($7), Japanese Latte ($7), and Matcha & Black Sesame Moffin ($1.50/each). I personally enjoy my matcha unsweetened so I loved that this one was served without sweeteners, and the matcha is lighter bodied with earthy flavours. The Japanese latte is made with coffee beans from Japan, and I'm not a coffee drinker usually so I can't comment much other than the fact it tasted mellow but had depth. The mochi muffins were not too sweet and deliciously chewy! I'd love to come back to try their hojicha latte!

The Salt level was still a shade low , though better than earlier. the Naan's , 3 x Curries, Raita were all very good -including the onion-pickle combination. The rice was plain rice & I believe this could be enhanced by offering instead a peas or veg pulao. Also a masala papad would be welcome. Overall -one of the best Thali's in Vancouver & Lower Mainland -well presented in sparkling clean, uniquely shaped Stainless steel plates! My daughter had the croquettes - good, corn cutlets which were average in taste as the sauce was mild & bland. (need a fiery sauce to liven up), Tacos -satisfactory. The kids had Cheese toast which was very plain. Just cheese inside. (A slice of tomato, cucumber would enhance the taste). it came with French Fries which was good. The Restaurant is clean, airy , uncluttered with a nice ambience. Service by Ms.Priya was excellent ! The toilets were kept sparkling clean , well stocked & deserve mention. Overall a good experience & we will return again in the near future. Best wishes to the Management for an excellent feeling of comfort.

The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is…read morethe only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. All vegetarian. There's no vegan or gluten free options for afternoon tea, but the a la carte menu includes many clearly labeled vegan and GF dishes. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and very pleasant experience. I was so curious about this place that I made a trip out from Vancouver just to try it (and couldn't get anyone willing to go to Surrey for afternoon tea with me, hence the afternoon tea order for one), and it was worth the trip!
