One of the (two) best cafes in Portsmouth in my opinion - the other is Broadway. I went to this cafe everyday for my recent trip to Portsmouth. They create awesome coffee art - please see the attached pictures - and also seem to use tasty beans. I have tried lattes and flat whites, and they were both great. One can also enjoy cosy atmosphere where one can quietly sit down and do some work as well. The coffee is also great for takeaway but I do recommend to try have-ins :)

The branding, coffee, and doughnuts are great! But every single time I’ve been here the staff seem like they don’t really want my business. They seem like they can’t really be bothered. I feel as though I’m not hip enough to go here? Am I too old? I’m 35. A professional. And I find that no matter what, I get steely-eyes service. The customers make this place what it is, and we do have a nice time but I cannot help thinking it’s because of US. Ie, we chat and joke. But the girls behind the counter seem uninterested.

Outstanding. I had the distinct pleasure of working close to Hideout Coffee over the last three days and will seek it out now, anytime I'm in Central Portsmouth. The drinks are carefully prepared by skilled baristas who greet you with a great attitude. I frequently heard them greet regulars by name, knowing what their most likely order would be and how they like it. Exceptional standard of service. I enjoyed an oat latte and two soy mocha over the last three days and they were all utterly delicious, fine quality coffee well worth the short wait. The aesthetics of the café are for me, just a beautiful as the drinks, with lush green, gold, stone and wood everywhere. I also sampled no fewer than 6 of their vegan doughnuts, each an every one of them a divine indulgence. Everything about this place is brilliant, the staff the refreshments the branding. It's a shame there are only five stars to give! I will be back. Lots.

Absolutely adored this place ! Fantastic barista style coffee served in a lovely interior with great music. Staff are so warm and friendly and the donuts are to die for. Great for vegans too. When I’m back I’ll absolutely be visiting

Purchased 2 donuts for nearly £8. Each put into a large brown paper bag. Asked about a box and was told they’re only for 3 donut purchases. Get home..1 donut is upside down and has lost half its topping. The other is smeared over the inside of the bag. Hideout could do with rethinking their packaging. If you can’t provide the customer with the method to get the item home without being ruined than maybe only do sit in.

A perfect place to meet up with friends for a coffee and donut. Amazing staff, even after I managed to spill my whole drink all over the table 😅. Would definitely go again! Although not recommended for larger groups of people.

This place popped up on a Google search when I was casually looking for donuts. Being not too far away I contacted them via messenger to see if they had any donuts left as it was afternoon time & it seems a very popular place. They got back to me within minutes letting me know what they had & said they would put them by for me. Upon entering my daughter & her friend were amazed by the feel & look of the place (apparently the aesthetics are amazing, their words) & when they saw the donuts their eyes widened so much even the staff commented on how funny it was to watch. Seriously, supporting small businesses in this current climate is a must, daughter & friend loved the heart shaped artwork with their milk froth & the donuts well what can I say...krispy kreme need to up their game before I'd set foot in 1 again, in fact as long as this place is selling donuts I have no need to step inside a chain donut place ever again. The staff are fantastic & so friendly, I envisage many future trips & once they're allowed to open for proper custom again they have a pink room downstairs for sitting in & consuming goods...so of course we'll have to visit just for that! Oh & I almost forgot...the coffee is amazing!!! So amazing in fact I bought a box of pods for at home too to cut out the need to go to any chain coffee stores in between visits to here!

A must-visit when in Southsea! Brilliant, lively atmosphere and very quick service. The coffee & doughnuts are just the best! Although don't leave it too late in the day to visit because the doughnuts can sell out quickly.

Got myself a latte, and it was amazing. I could see they had these donuts on display that looked incredible, I just didn’t commit to getting one. But I’ll be sure to next time. Definitely a must visit coffee house.

The coffee and the donuts are Bloody-cious!!!! One of the most delicious coffees I have ever had!! Very stylish café. Just the staff could be more cool and friendly.. It looks like a sort of skate shop. They offer some merch too. It is cool place and cool window display.

What an absolute institution. Everyone who’s anyone knows that hideout donuts are absolutely unparalleled in this town. Their cheeky sense of humour and original designs are second only to the taste of their donuts, coffee, cookies and brownies. There really is something for everyone, vegan and plant-based options aplenty, not to mention the owners and staff are absolute legends. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, and that’s not gonna change any time soon 🥰👌🏼

Really nice flat white and aesthetics. Coffee beans are nice but quite expensive (20–25 should be max for a kilo tbh) but this place was right on brand and vibe

Really nice vibe, friendly staff and fantastic specialty coffee. The donuts are to die for, and the prices are good. Would definitely reccomend!

Great atmosphere. Yummy coffee. The treats were VERY sweeet!

Amazing coffee, great service and fun decor. Highly recommended!

I had a damn fine experience at Hideout Coffee Company in Portsmouth! Their artisan coffees were exceptional, offering a delightful range of flavors that would make Agent Cooper's taste buds dance. The service was as swift as a logging truck on a dark highway, ensuring I got my caffeine fix without any delay. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. And hey, don't forget to indulge in their damn fine homemade donuts—just like a sweet slice of Norma's pie. If you're a coffee enthusiast with a penchant for Twin Peaks charm, Hideout Coffee Company is your own personal Black Lodge in Portsmouth!

Perfect way to spend an hour. Fantastic coffee and doughnut selection. Friendly staff. Chilled atmosphere and quirky decor. There’s also a book selection to borrow/exchange from.

Hideout is pretty much the coolest coffee shop in Portsmouth. The coffee’s great, the doughnuts are to die for and the vibes are immaculate.

Such a cute coffee shop, lovely coffee, 10/10 donuts

Awesome coffee, flat white was perfect. Had a couple of their donuts, which were massive and would be much better shared! Great vibe in the place and the staff were super welcoming and friendly.

The atmosphere is amazing. There’s so much to look at and the decorating is simply genius. Very good donuts.

Disgusting hot chocolate. Obviously using very poor quality milk and where was the chocolate. Felt sickly after it. Double expresso - I am afraid their machine settings are well below standard. Obvious that those drinking here don’t know how these should taste. Big disappointment. Only good thing were the lovely girls serving. Would not recommend.

Best doughnuts! So many great vegan options and the doughnuts taste amazing! Staff are great and the cafe itself is lovely inside! Plus it's dog friendly 🐾

We came here specifically for the coffee and can only rate that. My coffee was good but not strong enough. I happily paid for a large size coffee and asked for that to be put into a small size cup and topped up with milk but it still wasn't strong. We also ordered a decaf flat white and a large latte, both of which were fine. Recommend for anyone who wants an extra shot to discuss with the barista on how it will be made but for those who drink a standard strength coffee, it's a good spot. A cool fit out and friendly service. ☕ 👍
