The HideOut Café in Guwahati is one of those rare finds that actually earns its name — a tucked-away spot on VIP Road, opposite Arizona Sports Arena in Borbari, that manages to feel cozy and quiet even within the city. What makes it stand out for pet parents is straightforward: dogs are welcome both inside and outside the café, confirmed by Google's own attributes listing. There's no separate pet zone — your dog can sit with you at your table, indoors or on the outdoor seating.

The Setting
Situated on VIP Road in Borbari, The HideOut Café sits opposite the Arizona Sports Arena — a useful landmark if you're navigating to it for the first time. The atmosphere is described across reviews as casual, cozy, quiet, and trendy all at once, which is a combination that works well when you have a dog in tow: you want calm enough that your pet isn't overwhelmed, but interesting enough to make the visit worthwhile. The café is popular for lunch and dinner, and also draws solo diners and people working on laptops, which suggests a relatively relaxed pace. A fireplace feature adds to the cozy character, particularly relevant during Guwahati's cooler months between November and February.
The café serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with highlights including coffee, desserts, and a notable tea selection. Small plates and quick bites are on the menu alongside fuller meals. One reviewer specifically called out the mocktail counter and the quality of preparation there. Average spend is reported at ₹200–400 per person by Google reviewers, though individual reviewer notes suggest some meal occasions run higher — one reviewer noted ₹1,200–1,400 per person for a fuller dining experience. The café accepts reservations, which is worth using if you're visiting with a dog and want to confirm a good table.
Pet Policy and What to Expect
The HideOut Café does not charge a pet fee — pets are welcome here at no additional cost. Dogs are allowed both inside the café and in the outdoor seating area, giving you flexibility depending on the weather and your dog's comfort. That said, guests are responsible for any damage caused by their pets, so it's worth being mindful of breakables or other guests nearby. The café is also noted as family-friendly and good for groups, so the crowd is generally mixed — not a quiet dog-only corner, but a welcoming environment where pets are genuinely accommodated rather than merely tolerated.
Free parking is available in both the parking lot and on the street, which is a genuine convenience when you're arriving with a dog and need to unload gear or settle your pet before heading in. The café closes at 10 pm, and it accepts reservations by phone at 084537 07922 — calling ahead to mention you're bringing a dog is always a good idea at any pet-friendly venue.
What We Haven't Confirmed Yet
The HideOut Café's website was not available at the time of listing. A few specifics worth confirming before your visit: whether there is a dedicated water bowl or pet water station, whether there is a weight or size limit for dogs allowed indoors, and whether specific seating areas indoors are preferred for guests with pets. The resident dog status at the property is also unconfirmed — if your dog is reactive to other dogs, it's worth asking when you call ahead. The Zomato listing for the café is available at Zomato Guwahati for menu and review details.
