Hidden Café. The name says it all. Literally, it is hidden. Hidden in a shopping center nestled on Brookhurst Ave in Anaheim. Now I have tried many hookah lounges in Orange County. Many of them! This is now one that I can cross off my list and now put on my "will be coming back again soon" list. I came earlier this evening to check it out because I had to satisfy my hookah cravings! Soon as I walked in, the sweet odor of hookah hit my nostrils. I was sat at a table and immediately ordered my new favorite flavor-Exotic Apple Doppio! Now I have tried this flavor before at another hookah lounge nearby. I was just craving this flavor very bad! I waited almost 10 minutes before I got my hookah but I am not one to complain over a few minutes, unless it was over a half hour wait! It is very spacey inside with a few couches but mostly tables all around. They have a few flat screen TV's around, which at the time were playing EDM videos, which made for a great environment. The ambience was of a mostly young crowd. Overall, the staff were very attentive with refilling me with coals whenever needed. I am a fan and will most likely be visiting again sometime soon!

I came back and this time I brought my best friend and his lady and we had a blast. I ordered the mint tea pot and it was once again delicious. I forgot what flavor we ordered but all I remember is we got an apple and an ice tip. That darn ice tip kept falling off, I don't know if it was us or the equipment. However I strongly believe it may have been user error because we were a little buzzed when we got there. They have these light things at the tables that you're supposed to use if you need assistance. It's a great idea if.....someone that worked there was out on the floor instead of in the back. The restroom was clean which was great, cos I can't stand establishments with nasty restrooms. They honored the $1.00 off with check in. They played a mixture of EDM and hip hop all night and they kept our coals hot and burning.

I've been coming here for years and each time, my hookah sessions have been on point. I've been to hookah lounges all over OC and LA, and this is by far my favorite. Friendly service and quality hookah each and every single time. The place is "hidden" in the corner of the plaza. Plethora of parking and free wi-fi. So let's talk hookah! I'm pretty boring and don't branch off to any crazy flavors - I typically get white peach sweet melon mint. Mmmmm fruity & minty... all sorts of wonderful tinglies. I also get an iced tip so the smoke comes out extra smooth and chilly. I always come during HH because it's half off. Everything comes out to $13 which includes tip. So why am I in love with place? Because I can smoke in peace like a loaner and I'm not judged. My coals are consistently refilled without me asking and the servers check on me to make sure everything is all good. Atmosphere, music, and people are chill. Nice place to kick back after a long work day. People come to hang out, study, or watch TV. They have like a million TVs so you can take your pick. Movie nights are every Tuesday and Sunday nights. A+ all around!

Hookah 6/10 Atmosphere: if you like calm and mellow places (I Dont) , they place the music loud enough to where it's fun but you don't have to yell to speak to your friends, No Dj just a CD or whatever. I went on a Friday night, people came and went but it wasn't busy Bathroom: clean . Service 6/10: They were slow with checking on the coals and seeing if we needed anything

I've been here several times and every time - it's the perfect latte - just over and over and over again!

This little gem is tucked away in the beautiful town of San Juan Capistrano -just minutes away from the Mission... Yet so accessible from the freeway and PCH with ample parking close by. Expect a little wait at times but it's worth it - sitting there with your perfect cup Java - as if time stops for a moment for you to catch up to where you need to be... (My favorite spots are on the porch - just magical!)

First timer ! Love the vibe love the hookah.

Staying in Anaheim for my boos birthday. I'm a picky picky hookah daily smoker. So I found this place. I got greeted And I loved the vibe automatically. It's a REAL hookah lounge. Not a club. They have a movie playing and I enjoyed ita lot.. I ordered a chai and mint hookah perfect. Not to mention the drinks are way cheaper than sf ans they make it for you! I love everything here.

The service is good, but after hitting the hookah a couple times the flavor died out and started tasting funky.

The space has a Harry Potter theme with spooky decorations, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. They offer a mix of classic tiki drinks and specialty cocktails. My favorites were the Philosopher's Stone Fruit and Eater of Death #2. Both drinks were creative, unique, and fun to try! We loved the cocktails and would recommend checking this place out!

The Blind Rabbit is no doubt a very neat place and definitely an experience, but the reason for my…read moreone star is because my friend and I were treated absolutely terribly by one of the bartenders. We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

Since it was a Saturday, I'd recommend having a reservation or being on the waitlist! It was still quite a wait for our party of 6. The hostesses where wearing costumes which was cool, but they werent very friendly. When we were all able to check in, we waited and additional 25 mins with no system in place of where to wait. So we all just kind of stood there as we didn't want to get missed when they had a table for us. When we were called in, we did get the worst seats in the house and wished we were placed literally anywhere else. Being so close to the bathrooms and the curtain separating the stock room kind of broke the immersion. The food was fairly priced, but I think it was because the portions were pretty small. I tried the Cordon Bleu chicken sliders- they were fine, nothing stand out. Their seasonal menu was very interesting and the butternut squash salad was good, but again, pretty small in portion. Brussel sprouts were delish, but also small in portion. Drinks are a standout though! The bartenders are super friendly and my drink (the ravens claw) was very strong. The props and projections were fun little details that activated the space! Would've enjoyed it more if we were in a more optimal area. Overall it was fun because of the people I was with, so I'd give this overall experience a 3.5! If they weren't there, I'd give a solid 3 stars. I'm open to trying this place again and hoping for a better experience next time.
