Great little cafe in North Lyneham. Came here on the recommendation of a friend and was still surprised by the consistent quality of the food and coffee. I ordered the winter harvest bowl and it tasted just as good as it looked. Service very friendly and quick too! Will definitely be back.

Hide and Seek was a cute cafe nestled in the north lyneham shops. It's a corner shop with lots of outdoor seating and a minimalist decor. The staff were all really friendly and went out of their way to have a chat, which was a nice change from usual cafes. The food and coffee were both top notch. In particular, the New York Reuben was delicious, the perfect blend of flavours with the juicy beef brisket, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and pickles, all on a toasted multigrain bread. I've never had a NY Reuben so not sure whether they all taste good but the one at Hide and Seek is definitely worth ordering!

The gluten free bun on my cheeseburger was unfortunately very tough (toasted for too long?) and the burger toppings were arranged in such a way that it was very tall and awkward to eat, though the ingredients themselves were delicious and fresh. All it needs is a flatter patty. Burger was served with French fries which I'm sure kids would love. Delicious dirty chai latte. Some of the seats are not big bum friendly as when I stood up I kept getting caught on the strange bars on the edge of the seat I chose The cafe itself had a cosy outdoor seating option and it wasn't crowded at 1pm

This cafe is a hidden gem in North Lyneham shops serving some good quality brunch food and drinks. The Italian Meatballs is only a light meal which isn't a large enough serving size for me, but it does taste delicious. . Unfortunately the garlic bread was served burnt , so that didn't taste as good as I'd like. The Housemade Potato Gnocchi is full of flavours and one of the best gnocchi I have tried. The hot chocolate and chai latte are good as expected. Regards @fooderarri
