KICKSTART YOUR DAY

A close knit community and strong ties to the family were key to the success of The Hideout Coffee House.

The cafe, opened almost three years ago, more than doubled in floor space.

It offers a peaceful and comfortable spot for the locals and tourists to enjoy a cuppa and talk with friends. It is owned by the Alicia and Ali Long mother and daughter team, with daughter Tori behind the coffee machine as a familiar face. Alicia 's husband, Brad, and sons Tom and Ben made much of the furniture and tables, and worked on the expansion of last year.

“It’s definitely a family affair, extended family too,” Alicia says.

While family support has been crucial, the community has also backed the venture. “We have many regulars who have become friends. We’ve even employed a few and some offered to help out when we were expanding,” Alicia says.

With a full kitchen due to open soon l, they are keen to work with locals to source fresh produce.

“The neighbours are getting ready to ramp up their vegie patch,” Alicia says.

They serve specialty coffee from Seven Miles Coffee Roasters and also operate a coffee cart at 613 Old Gympie Rd Monday to Friday from 5-11am.
