The Hideout
A warmly rated Southampton café with outdoor seating — an easy, relaxed choice for a bite out with the kids.

Coffee Shops · Southampton
Bright, buzzy and full of natural light, this is the kind of café where you can hear the room humming before you're through the door — lovely if your children are chatty, less ideal if you want quiet. There's a lot of space and plenty of seating, plus high chairs, buggy access, outside tables and free parking on the road right outside. The cinnamon rolls and cherry blondie get proper devotion, the hot chocolate is a treat, and lunch runs to toasties and bacon sandwiches rather than a full menu. Prices are gentle and the staff are generally warm and quick with a smile. Two honest notes: tables fill fast at peak times, so book if you can, and the coffee can be hit and miss depending on who's on the machine.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
