I've had breakfast and lunch here every day for the last 3 weeks and I haven't been disappointed! The meals and hospitality makes you feel at home. The owners are very kind and never fail to make my day.

Located in the back of the lobby, a very good deli-style restaurant. Very friendly staff, nice size portions, endless specials, and a clean seating area. AND - the price is right!! You can't get a cheaper lunch in this area unless you go to Wendys.

Great food and friendly staff. I had the banana chocolate chip muffin with hot chocolate for breakfast then later on before leaving ordered the chicken panini. It was so delicious and very filling.

The Hideaway Cafe is truly a hidden gem. I worked in the Verizon building across the street, and even though there is a cafeteria in the building, the Hideaway Cafe was my place of choice. The owners and employees are great people, and they work hard at providing excellent food, and darn good prices and portions. And if you love soups, they make all of them from scratch, and they're all delicious, but their Cream of Tomato soup is addictive, pair it with a Grilled cheese sandwich and you'll think you've gone to Heaven. There are many times I have even brought food to take home for dinner, rather than cook. LOL. Do yourself, and your tastebuds a favor, check out the Hideaway Cafe ASAP.
