New cafe at Hideout

A new coffee shop attached to The Hideout, along with an external 'sidewalk cafe' area, has further improved the streetscape and facilities of the growing town.



Coffee & Cakes provides freshly brewed hot beverages, as well as cakes and bagels and rolls. Proprietor Martin Myles sees it as providing a daytime focus for people who don't necessarily want to be in a pub atmosphere.

The coffee system is Java Republic, well respected for the consistency and good flavours of its products.

In addition to cakes and rolls, there's a selection of freshly made sandwiches and wraps. A phone-in facility (482121) means that sandwiches can be ordered prior to 11am and be ready for collection over lunchtime.



Best of all for us early birds, Coffee & Cakes is open in the mornings from 7am, so getting that early caffeine fix has never been so easy in Kilcullen. It closes at 6pm.

Noel Clare of Kilcullen Tidy Towns welcomed the initiative, saying it was yet another improvement in facilities in the town, which are also reflected in the new shops on Hillcrest.

A new restaurant in The Hideout, Donnelly's, has been receiving many plaudits recently, both for its ambience and the excellent quality of the food presented.
