Our Story

A quiet corner of Ames built on flour, patience, and good taste.

Club Hideaway 223 began as something simple: a conviction that the food people bring to their tables every day deserves more thought, more craft, and more honesty than the average grocer offers. Nestled along Cemetery Road, we set out to build a place where that conviction becomes daily practice.

Our ovens fire before dawn. Our shelves are stocked with ingredients we would proudly serve our own families — artisan breads, small-batch preserves, locally sourced pantry staples, and seasonal selections that shift with the year. This is not a store that chases trends. It is a store that honours the slow, deliberate work of doing things well.

Our Philosophy

The principles that shape everything

Slow by Design

We refuse to rush what time improves. Our breads ferment naturally. Our preserves follow the season. Good food cannot be hurried — and we would rather do fewer things well than many things quickly.

People First

Every supplier, every producer, every farmer we work with is chosen for their craft and their character. We believe a supply chain should be built on relationships, not transactions.

Seasonally Rooted

Our menu breathes with the Texas year. Spring asparagus, summer stone fruit, autumn squash, winter citrus — we let the calendar decide what lands on our shelves.

What our community says

Club Hideaway 223 has become our Saturday morning ritual. The sourdough alone is worth the drive — but it is the warmth of the place that keeps us coming back.

I have not found a grocer this thoughtful anywhere near here. Every product feels chosen with genuine care, not assembled from the cheapest available option.

The seasonal tarts are extraordinary. You can taste the difference when someone takes the time to do things properly — this is that kind of place.
