The push light at your table is for getting service. As my friends and I are morons, we were mystified over its purpose for awhile. It was everyone's first time there and the thing was just sitting on the table without explanation. Hopefully I have saved someone from reliving our trauma. Knowledge is power! The hookah was good. Tried four different flavors, all smooth, none of them bad, and I'll definitely be smoking the Mystic Melon again sometime. It was actually one of the several 'signature flavors' on the menu, so my money's on the rest of those being safe options as well. Got there five minutes to the end of happy hour (6-8) on a Saturday night and it wasn't crowded at all. The seating could be better; you run a small risk of having to sit in a chair rather than on a sofa. I suppose that's not a problem if you're anti-slouching, but personally I think that makes you a freak. Service was good. Nice. Attentive. Smiley. Had a little hiccup when they forgot about our drinks, but when we spoke up they apologized and it was promptly amended. Cheap menu too, it's worth a glance. The great atmosphere makes me feel a little guilty for not giving this place four stars, but the prospect of sitting miserable in a chair for a session is too daunting to ignore. If something particularly nice comes up (e.g., the inexpensive food turns out to be inversely delicious, an employee turns out to be a good lay [/joke]) I might have the heart to give it an upgrade. read more

To sum it up: chill. Although I do not approve nor promote smoking, this kick back spot is pretty relaxing. This is the type of place where you can avoid the club-annoying-teeny boppin-wannabes on a Friday night. Mr. Stark and I went here with our favorite muslim, "The Cow", a couple of times and it has been a pretty chill experience. We met the owner and he always suggest his best stuff ever. So Stark-man and The Cow both hit the hookah as I chill back and enjoy the music and have a decent conversation with the two. Okay, more like venting, but still, the music is just the right volume that you can still enjoy it as well as keeping your conversation private. The major reason why I like this place is because its very unique and comfy lounges. read more

My friends and I were in Anaheim and were in the mood for some hookah so we yelped the closest lounge and ended up here. It was literally a "hidden cafe" because it was in the corner of the plaza. I thought that was cute. We got there at happy hour so it was really cheap! Sorry, I forgot the price. This Hidden is smaller than the one located in Anaheim Hills. It took a while for my hookah to come out but I'm not really complaining. The coal changing on the other hand was kinda slow and they weren't too attentive.. I like the music, EDM. There are tv's located on pretty much every wall. It's a chill spot. I wouldn't really go again though just because I do prefer the Anaheim Hills one. read more

Hidden Cafe - Hookah Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

Me and my gf love going here..good ambience and very helpful and nice staffs.. Perfect place to Chill read more

Great place to go and watch UFC, however it is God-awful crowded. The hookahs aren't tended too very well, but if you ask them they take care of it. (maybe that is because it is so crowded) I like a more laid back area to smoke but if this is your thing to have a more club-like (maybe that is not the best use of the word club) atmosphere. Then this place is great for you. The workers are pretty cool, and the people and atmosphere is pretty good. Food is alright, but their smoothies I found to be AMAZING!!! If going for a UFC I give it 4 stars but the crowdedness and how they try to get you to leave after a while (we were only there for like 2 hours and we were asked to buy another hookah because there was a time limit I guess because of the amount of people there) kind of made me give it a 3 star rating. read more

Very chill place, good for just sitting, relaxing, and smoking good hookah. Great customer service.

I don't normally give a place 5 stars unless all the criteria for running a good, quality business are met. But, I have to give this place 5 stars...great little small business. The food is very good, and inexpensive. I would give the place more like 4 stars because the service is slow, it takes a while sometimes to get someone at your table, especially when busy. But, the ambience is awesome! There are large TV's around the place, play mostly hip-hop/middle eastern mixes....love the music! I have gone on several dates here, and my dates have loved this place. Very inexpensive place, with outstanding ambience. They serve a great selection of hookah! The tab can be expected for the average college student to handle easily. They have wifi...used to come here to study all the time. Highly recommended place! read more

Being a veteran Hookah-er, there is nothing I enjoy more than a good evening full of cloudy smoke and intense conversation over a bowl of hot coals and flavored tobacco. My friends and I spent most of our summer doing this and as a result, we spent a lot of money on hookah supplies and also depleted our lung capacity by 10%. Well one day we just got sick of having to prepare our own bowl and clean our own hookah so we decided to try Hidden Cafe, a well known hookah bar. My first thoughts on Hidden when we arrived were that this looked like a perfect place for smoking hookah; it was dark, the place was full of comfy cushions, there was music playing AND there were TVs! I was so excited. After the guy at the door checked our IDs (kind of embarrassing because we're all 21+), we got seated immediately and started looking over the list of hookah flavors. For those of you who are not aware, at Hidden it is required for every 2 people in your group to have a hookah each, so if you've got 4 people you've got to get 2 hookahs. This wasn't that bad since we all hated waiting for each person to take their hits and pass it on, so we settled on a Blue Mist Tangerine (a mix) and a Gummy Bear. The hookah arrived right away and we immediately started smoking. The Blue Mist/tangerine was disappointing, especially because it sounded so delicious. The Gummy Bear was alright, but honestly I've smoked better tasting hookah in my friends garage (right now we have Tequila Sunrise, so delicious!) Anyways, despite the weird taste of the hookahs, we enjoyed our time anyways, until the hookahs started to get really harsh. They load the bowl with coals so it burns a lot faster and stronger so after about 15 minutes I couldn't even take it anymore. My throat was burning, plus the place was smokey all around so I started getting light headed. My friend and I actually had to step outside for awhile because our heads were spinning from the lack of ventilation in the cafe. Overall, the price of the hookahs came out to about $10-$12 each, which isn't too bad but I'd much rather hookah with my friend's pipe because it doesn't make me want to cough out my lungs. The service was great though, so I've got to give Hidden a little credit; it's just not my taste. 2 stars. read more

I've been to a few hookah lounges and its safe to say that hidden cafe is by far the best one I've been to. With that being said, here's why! -Everything is well maintained. There's burn holes on booth chairs, but isn't that only expected from a hookah lounge? -Nothing beats happy hour! From 6-8pm, come in for some half off hookah. -I love the relaxing environment that this place gives off. Music's always bumping with tracks that I like. -Workers are chill. They get us everything we'll need as soon as we let them know and coal refills are always coming around without me having to keep requesting it to be changed. Service is great! -The food menu is cheap. -Movie nights on Sunday and Tuesday! Movie+hookah=relaxing night -Parking is great. There's plenty of spots to choose from. Overall, I've had great experiences with hidden cafe every time. Definitely got me coming back and choosing it over all the other hookah lounges around that area! read more

Best hookah bar in Socal! Great Food and Drinks. Best customer service! Hookah are always refreshed. Hidden is #1

My friend and I went here for a quick hookah and a snack. The hummus here is the worst hummus I have ever had in my life. It tastes like a 2 year old made it and it's really hard to make bad hummus. It's crushed chick peas. The service is below average. The hookah itself was alright but don't waste your money on food here. Prob won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I'm giving them a one of their terrible service. One they never came to our table to gives us new coals we had to ask twice before we got coals, and two the waiters? had a terrible attitude. read more

There really isn't much else to do in Yorba Linda so this place isn't terrible. I went with my brother because we were waiting on a movie to start across the street. The Hookah itself was good. The service sucked pretty bad. The guy working the door with the Mohawk wasn't very friendly. He flirted with every girl who walked in that looked like they just graduated high school and wouldn't give us the time of day. Even when we went to pay he basically ignored us while he was hitting on two young girls. Overall its a typical hookah bar. Good flavors, televisions, decent music but the service is sub par. read more

Hidden Cafe is like my second home. I am always greeted by David and Felipe. They make me feel like family. The hookah is always on point. I have been to many hookah lounges around the world but none has made me feel like family until I stumbled into Hidden Cafe. I recommend geisha pawn mint mix. It is absolutely refreshing. They make their hookahs with pride. Happy hour is the best time to go when hookah is under 10 dollars! Thanks David for always making me feel at home and not as a stranger. The staff at Hidden Cafe is always respectful and kind to all the customers and not just me. They have movie nights that play the coolest movies. read more

My hookah cherry has been popped! It was a great experience and the staff were friendly, patient and welcoming. It was dark, inside but the flat screens showing music videos was illumination enough. It was also really well ventilated...I couldn't smell anything from the table next to us that had 3 hookahs going at once. I really liked the fact that they put the little light on the table for service, that way you are only bothered when you actually want/need something. All in all, I would definitely go again if I were to ever find myself in Disney-hell and needed a chill-out spot to get away from all the commercialism. read more

I've been going to Hidden for years. I love this place for hookah. I used to go to this location before it burnt down. And after it burned down we would go to the one in Anaheim Hills, now I'm back to Brookhurst. This is by far the coolest and cleanest hookah bar that I have been to in OC. The decor is fabulous, they have nice flat screens here and there, and I enjoy consuming their cheese sandwich. mmm, it's delicious. Iced Hookah here is the best and they use Starbuzz tobacco which is also sabroso. Oh yeah, white peach tobacco fo' life! It's a little on the pricey side for hookah, but I would much rather spend the extra money for iced hookah and the chill environment. The furniture set up is nice and the couches are pretty comfy. Service is always pretty good. The charcoal boys are always walking around replacing old charcoal and taking orders. And they're also pretty good about replacing hoses if you encounter issues. Like I said, it's my fav. read more

Seriously the best hookah around. Ive tried nearly every hookah bar in the oc they do not compare. Time and time again this place never fails to impress me with their hookah and service!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Excellent hookah and very good customer service 10 out of 10! Coals are taken care of regularly. Nice store manager. Price for hookah is excellent! read more

Hidden Cafe - a glass table with a hook on it - Hookah Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

What a deal... What a steal! With the $20 for $30 worth of Hidden Cafe, we both got the $14.99 special/combo with one free refill, a sandwich, pita bread with hummus, and a pot of black tea with mint. Everything came out to be only ~$28, so we pretty much just got everything for only $20. Although I've only been to three hookah places, this one is my favorite! The prices here are reasonably, the ambiance is very chill, the hookahs are clean, the flavors are fantastic, and the food is cheap! Hookah: We got the white peach with mint (exotic flavors) was sweet with a hint of refreshing mint. I highly recommend trying this mix. For our refill we got a their "My Little Pony" which was a bit sweeter than the white peach, but still had a similar taste. Both flavors/aromas were satisfying to my liking. Food: As mentioned above, the food and appetizers are dirt cheap. That being said, do not expect too much. I liked that the pita bread was warm, but I have had better hummus from a supermarket. The Sojok sandwich was a bit dry, but I liked the Middle Eastern spice it had. It wasn't as big as I hoped, but for only $4.50, I can't complain. When we opened the sandwich, we literally laughed for one whole minute. We probably had less than a sausage because it was sliced, not down the middle, top into its circular shape; and it was so thin... The sausage bits were scattered between the two bread. Luckily the flavor was strong enough. The side of chips that came with the sandwich was just regular nacho cheese Doritos. I was actually very excited for the chips when I saw it on the menu... But I was greatly disappointed when I saw that it was just... Doritos.. my least favorite of all chips. At least serve potato chips next time please? Ambiance: We came on a Friday night around 9pm. The selection of music started off "traditional,"-- typical hookah music that you'd find at Middle Eastern cafes. By 11PM, they started playing more of the mainstream music which was nice. Service: I liked how the servers were very chill -- but a little bit too chill. We had to ask for new coals twice, but I'd give it to them since they seemed to be working pretty hard and made attempts to help us enjoy ourselves. Overall: I definitely liked the place, and would come back here for the hookah and relaxing environment, but not so much for the food unless I got another one of the Yelp deals. Also, they have a happy hour menu where the hookahs are 1/2 off, or their regular $19.99 combo (which comes with a hookah for two, one free refill, sandwich, and a drink) for only $14.99. read more

This place was ah-mazing! Service was good, and seats are super comfy! The only thing I would suggest is for them to clean the vessels better, because the flavor we order tasted like something else like mixed flavor, but other than that its one of my fave hang out hookah spots now! Ice tip was a plus, and I love happy hour! Definitely coming back! :) read more

One of the best hookah lounges that I had the pleasure of visiting on a visit to Anaheim. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and amazing music. Ordered the paradise peach Al-Fakher flavor which came out with the coals on it. The guy in charge kept checking on my hookah routinely to make sure it was hitting fine. Highly recommend to those who happen to be in the area. read more

I've been coming here for a while because its close to home and has cool atmosphere usually. Always have games on and staff is pretty chill. The hooka itself is fairly terrible though. Always burns too fast and has to be cleared constantly, the coals suck so somebody has come by every 5-10 min with new ones, and it's real tough get a smooth draw with thick smoke. Really wish they'd improve the quality I'd be back alot more often. Update: been coming back more lately and noticed the Hooka quality has improved alot! Coals are still so so but the flavor and consistency have really improved Update 2: so been in a lot more as of late (earned the distinction of Duke recently), was really digging the spot as cool place relax and unwind couple times week. They have happy hr from 6-8. Rolled in tonight about 7:45 just in time for happy hr to finish up. Get my Hooka and chilling for about 30min and guy asks if I want a refill which I get since I got it during happy hr but told him I was good. 20 min later guy comes by again and tells me I have to get a refill or they will take my Hooka away! I look at the guy and ask him if he's serious since I've only been there for an hr and I come all the time, to which he replies sorry...wtf. I get the idea of not wanting people to camp all night on a half off Hooka but this is bs. Go to pay and the owner/manager guy says he feels bad and offers me a free water to make up for it. I don't want the damn water I just wanted chill smoke my Hooka. Place is fun and nice place to hang out but ill spend the extra $6 to smoke at my pace at one of the other 8 Hooka bars in the area from now on. Seriously disappointed read more

First time at this place and its great service, workers are nice, and its cozy and comfortable. They even have food. They check up on you often to check if you're doing okay. I will definitely be coming here now. read more

Great, friendly service and fast coals. Come during happy hour and do you homework or just chill.

Very cute place. It really is hidden in a corner. Has a great outdoor patio and is super cheap during happy hour. I think I only paid $5 for my hookah. would totally go here again! read more

I love doing hookah and this place here is perfect. The guys who work here are super dope. The happy hour is from 6-8pm and I came in at like 8:10pm and they STILL hooked it up. The music is so dope and the people who come are really chill. I've never had a problem. The hookah flavors are great and the service is on point. I hardly ever have to call someone over to change my coals, they walk by regularly and do it themselves. I definitely recommend this place if you want to chill with your buddies and smoke! read more

Your go to hookah lounge. They're opened up till 4am! This place is really cool and chill to just sit back and chit chat with your girlfriends. They have different kinds of flavors, but the one that my friends and I usually get is the white gummy with safari. Ask for the funnel head. They have food if you're hungry plus you're gonna be there for a while if you're hookah-ing! So enjoy the food. Their chicken noodle soup is very good. Service is nice. People mind their own business and are out of your way. Lots of room and space. Pick a spot and you'll probably sit there for hours until you finish your hookah. read more

This is by far the best hookah places in southern CA. I've been to many hookah lounges throughout LA and the OC as I really do enjoy smoking after a long day at work or before going out on a Fri/Sat night. Aside from the excellent service and the ease of getting new coals, the atmosphere is one that sets it apart from other places. I believe in smoking in peace and I'm not into the club-atmosphere that other places attempt to create with loud music and youngsters far too dressed for a hookah lounge. You can sit back and enjoy without being bothered by the people around you. I would recommend coming early for happy hour (6-8pm...where else can you smoke for a mere $5?). The food selection favorite is the chicken sandwich for $4. Refills are only $5 and they will provide mouthpieces for those disinclined to share saliva. They will even start your hookah for you and get the thick smoke going and will also help fix the hose or add water to your preference. In addition, the music is good (a mix of techno and hip hop) and they play sporting events, big fights, and even Family Guy on Sunday nights. Tuesday nights are movie nights (around 7pm) and if you recommend a movie to Abood and Mario, the local DVD store is right next door. If you decide to try it out, you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere, the entertainment, the quality and knowledge of hookah, the cheap prices, and the free Wi-Fi...what are you waiting for? read more

Amazing hookah and service .... Best place ever!!!!

Food is tasty and the prices took me by surprise. Also, there banana shake is to die for! Only thing is that they don't answer their phone. I've called multiple times to place a pick up order but never had any luck. Other than that service and food quality is very good! read more

It's a nice place to kick back and relax. I've never been much for hookah but this place is soothing, the hookah is good, and they've got food and drinks. read more

Great chill spot , good for relaxing and smoking a good hookah, love this place , great customer service

My other half introduced me to this place and it's been a phenomenal experience every time. Great service, awesome staff and food to match. The flavor selection is on point and their in-house mixes rock. If you're not sure what to select, the staff is ready to point you in the right direction. I highly recommend Hidden Cafe if you're looking to sit back, relax and chill with some hookah. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years and it is by far the best hookah lounge in Orange County! Friendly staff, fast service, and the charcoal is always timely refilled. With a variety of flavors that you can mix and match and the $6.99 happy hour hookah makes this a great place to relax with your friends. If you're a student, the free wi-fi also makes this a great place to study. read more

Good hooka lounge. I got the El Fuego Bueno which I enjoyed. I would like to give 4 stars but it started out harsh (this is because they give you way too many coals, just remove one and you will be fine). Also I sat towards the back and there is a slight draft making it hard to make O's. The atmosphere was nice, prices are average, and service was good. In all it was an enjoyable experience and I plan on coming back. read more

My favorite hookah bar, it's like my home away from home. Best service, great employees! Check out pumpkin pie and vanilla if you like pumpkin pie it smells and taste just like it. Or my fruity mix I like is peach, orange and sweet melon. Try this place out it's relaxing and fun. read more

This was my first visit to a hookah cafe. For a first time and reading other reviews here this place was chill as f-ck! We came here on a sat night, not knowing what to expect. As soon as you walk in the warm sweet aroma invites welcomes you. The workers were very chill. I ask the workers to recommend a flavor which I think was mix fruit, it was sweet. After that we ordered food. We had the chicken quesadilla, strawberry shake, hummus, and mango juice, and a strawberry cheese cake. The drinks and the cheese cake were delish! We didn't like the food as much. But the hookah was yummy. After that we ordered a gummy bear flavor, my fave! I will def go back! The workers were chill, they would change our coals constantly, and check on us. read more

This place was an excellent experience. The staff was very friendly, if you have any questions you just hit a light on your table and they come straight to you. The variety of flavors were good, clean hookahs, great environment. This is a must I have taken many people here and each time everyone has a blast. read more
