It’s been a bit rainy in Tallahassee lately, but Andy and I still managed to make it out for brunch and errands this past weekend. Since we were feeling a bit adventurous, we decided to try out a place that someone had recommended to us, The Hideaway. Attached to the back of our local tiki bar Waterworks, the hideaway offers a bright cozy atmosphere and breakfast and lunch from 7am-5pm Monday-Friday and brunch from 9am-5pm on the weekends.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take advantage of the adorable patio area because the skies opened up shortly after this picture was taken. The interior was bright and airy, and the staff were quick to help us figure out seating and how to order. Everything is ordered and paid for at the counter and then delivered to the table; the beverage menu is on the back wall and the food menus are located in stands by the register. After placing our orders, we hopped up onto the stools at one of the tall tables and sipped on our chai lattes while our food was being prepared. 
Our food came out right away, and we chatted and shared our way through the meal, like we do, and before you knew it, our plates were clean and our mugs empty. 
Andy opted for the “Smothered Biscuits & Eggs”, and I went for the “Lox Benedict”. Personally I think I won the “who’s meal was better” award, but he said with a bit more spice mine wouldn’t have had a chance. Our chai’s were both nice and perfect for the weather. 
Afterwards, Andy and I both agreed that we will be adding this place to our rotation. The food was good, the vibe was super low key, the staff were friendly and helpful, and you gotta love a good local hidden gem. I can’t wait to go back and try one of their famous waffles next time around.
