Totally family friendly! High chairs and changing table, yay!! Inside and patio dining. Love their expansive menu with some unique items. Usually a wait any time we go so expect that. Food is always a hit. Recently tried a different dish and went with the Portuguese sausage w/fried rice & fried egg, breakfast game changer. read more

Stopped in today while in the area and yes it's a Hidden Cafe! The ambiance was cool with what looked like locals who enjoy good home cooked food. The hostess was very kind and sat me at a nice lil spot in the patio area. Emma was my amazing server with kindness and a smile she took my order. I had a cup of coffee and a make your own omelet with a fruit cup. The food was tasty and hot and the other staff members who helped out were also quite kind and professional. Highly recommended read more

This place may be hidden but sure is packed so come early. It's a small place but plenty of seating outdoors and pet friendly too. Why 4 stars? The last time we went I order to go and was given a stale cinnamon roll. We live an hour away and unable to return it. It's a crime to sell stale cinnamon rolls! Service 5 stars! Totally love...

Hidden Cafe - The pugglings love Hidden Cafe! - New American Near Me - Camarillo, California

Private parking lot. Classic diner ambience. Indoor & outdoor seating. Quiet neighborhood. Customer service is always a hit or miss, but we truly appreciate the good days. This is our go-to breakfast spot when my significant other is in town. My favorite are their pancakes - they taste deliciously buttery. But as you can see in my photos, they've gotten disappointingly small though ::sigh:: read more

Hidden Cafe - 09/2025 - New American Near Me - Camarillo, California

I am so glad we decided to come here for brunch!!! We were on a road trip and decided to stop here for some food and I'm so glad we did. It is a little hidden but not really! Ample parking and plenty of seating. We came around 11 on Tuesday and were sat out front in the shade with fans blasting. Our server I wish I got her name but was amazing. Very kind and attentive. We started with some coffee and I got the hot chocolate which was amazing! The tuna melt was DELICIOUS! As well as the Mac salads. The ribeye was the crowd pleaser WOW the char on it was delicious. It was juicy and perfectly cooked. We also got some pancakes and added some fruit to it which was cooked perfectly as well. I'm so happy we decided to try this cafe it truly was a great time! read more

Hidden Cafe is a true gem in our community! Family-owned and operated, they make you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. Open for breakfast and lunch, the menu offers something for everyone, from hearty classics to unique favorites. Personally, I can't get enough of their green chili--it's hands down the best in town! Every dish that comes out of the kitchen looks absolutely delicious. My next choice is usually the Eggs Benedict or the ahi salad. The fried chicken and waffles and the loco moco are especially popular choices. The cafe offers multiple seating options--indoors, outdoors, and on the patio--making it a great spot for gatherings. They can easily accommodate groups, and I've seen plenty of happy parties there. What makes Hidden Cafe even more special is the occasional themed menus and events: a take-home turkey dinner for Thanksgiving, a special Valentine's menu, and even an annual outdoor party with live music. Jesse, the owner, told me the next one is September 6, 2025, for those in town reading this. It is fun to stop by. If you haven't been yet, it's definitely worth a visit! And if calories don't count, snag a cinnamon roll. Thank me later. Exit the 101 at Camarillo Springs to get there. read more

We asked Emma what her favorite dishes were and she said chile verde or loco moco. We asked what the most popular dishes were and she said loco moco and fried chicken and waffles. I tried the chile verde, eggs over easy, steamed rice and flour tortillas. Everything was served hot! The flavor on the chile verde was dot com. Pork was super tender. I definitely needed the rice and eggs and flour tortillas to mask the heat of the dish. But soooo flavorful. Indoor seating and covered outside searing available. Small place but very clean and orderly. Our server Emma is one the daughter in laws in this Hawaiian owned restaurant. She was so sweet and helpful. She brought our table of 3 all separate checks without us asking. That was so thoughtful to make it easy. Usually we're fighting each other over the check. read more

Definitely "hidden" away from hustle and bustle. Cute place with a cozy, warm feel. Super friendly service, giving good recommendations. I had the loco moco, just what I expect from it- delicious gravy and a mix of Hawaiian flavors. Give them a shot! read more

Ordered breakfast and it came out after 30 minutes of waiting. Breakfast wasn't hot but it was alright. There was lots of indoor and outdoor seating and didn't take long to be given a spot to sit down. Overall would come again but on days that aren't that busy. read more

The food is incredible!! The corn beef hash is out of this world! And the crispy thick bacon. This place is a real hidden gem. A must try. read more

This restaurant is appropriately named as it is a bit "hidden" in a sense lol. It's super easy to miss the exit if you're coming from 101S, and the place itself is pretty lowkey with only a small neon sign in the window that identifies it as "Hidden Cafe." It's a somewhat small location with a very casual feel to it and minimal decor, but the deluxe loco moco here is SO good. Generous portion size and so delicious. The only thing was at least for the deluxe, it would be ideal if it came with more rice given all the salty meats and gravy that it comes with (although I'm not one to complain about too much meat lol). My boyfriend and I opted to get an extra side of rice to share and that was perfect. I also really liked that steamed rice is offered as a side for pretty much all the breakfast items, which is unique and a nice alternative to the usual potatoes or toast. Would definitely eat here again! read more

Found this places because I looked up breakfast in my local area and I saw a locomoco and didn't even look at anything else . Came in and saw a guy with a Guam shirt on and was stoked. First time here was amazing we ordered some staples . Bro got chicken fried chicken (they brined the chicken to perfection ) crust was like kfc adjacent (bomb) . I got the deluxe locomoco . Lemme tell you I've been to aloha and rutts.... This beats that. And since it was our first time we also got the homemade cinnamonroll. It's like soft in a way that Cinnabon couldn't fathom . Everything was great . Service was cool seating was easy. They pass the vibe check. Thanks coming back again read more

Really good eggs Benedict I was at The Local next door and my friend saw someone order from here. She suggested I try it. She ordered the Moco Loco. We were both happy with our meals.. Someone delivered it to us at The Local and she was the nicest. There was a hair in my potatoes but I had finished my meal practically. Accidents happen .. I wouldn't ding them for that this time! Great prices too !!! Didn't get to see how it looked inside but will check out soon! read more

I came in for breakfast and was told I couldn't be seated until my guest arrived. I understand restaurants have policies, but refusing to seat a single person--especially when plenty of tables were open--was frustrating and unnecessary. I just wanted to sit, relax, and wait for my friend, but instead I was left standing awkwardly at the entrance. If you're planning to meet someone here, make sure they show up on time--or expect to wait outside. Definitely not a great spot for a casual catch-up or date. Won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Food is a bit bland. But felt moist and fresh. Service was quick and servers were very nice. I think it's pretty okay. My mom really liked it. They serve breakfast and lunch. You can sit inside or out. If everyone from your party is not there, you have to wait for them before being seated. The food came quickly. You might like it, so it's worth it. :) read more

Best Loco Moco ever ! Chicken and waffles are a hit also, made to order Great customer service too read more

Hidden Cafe - Loco Moco - New American Near Me - Camarillo, California

As regular customers of this restaurant, we agree that the food is usually good. Nothing great, just good. The coleslaw is extremely bland. The biscuits and gravy are also bland. As most of the clientele is older, they play music from the 40s and 50s. Sometimes the volume is up too loud and this can wear on you. As for the service, it depends on which server you get, and what her mood of the day is. In other words service is spotty at best. Plenty of parking. read more

A great breakfast spot. The menu truly has something for everyone. I've dined here a few times and honestly it's always A plus. Service was amazing from the hostess who sat us and our friendly waitress. Cute cafe my son and I enjoyed our meal. The chicken and waffles is one of our go to the waffles was not photographed trust me it was amazing. If you love a good fried chicken this is a must try, it's well seasoned and crispy yet still moist. Mouth watering good. read more

Haha, this has got to be one of my dad's favorite restaurants. And for good reason too - this family business has some of the best brunch food out there! Anyways. We came on a Sunday afternoon, no wait time! We ordered our food quickly. I can say with certainty that service is ALWAYS super friendly here and really makes sure you're getting taken care of. There's lots of seating, it's very much a quiet but cozy brunch atmosphere. I ordered the French Toast with whip and strawberries on top. My family got the Deluxe Loco Moco (HIGHLY recommend, my dad's FAVORITE!), and the Sisters combo. Food was average wait, but it was definitely worth it. The Loco Moco is one of the best things you can get on the menu here. And my french toast was really fluffy and tasted absolutely amazing. I can't recommend this spot enough. So, I suggest you go try it out for yourself, you absolutely won't regret coming here! So good!! read more

Warning! Their menu prices are only valid if they don't decide to change them "without notice". I ordered pork chops and eggs. For $17 on the menu. The eggs were OK, the pork chops were tough, like overcooked. But what really rankled me was that I was charged $19. Why? The first $1 was a smallish sign telling about an egg surcharge. That I could accept. The second $1 was covered by 4 pt print (think tiny print) on the menu bottom that said "...prices were subject to change without notice". Not coming here again. read more

First off, great little family style spot. Everyone working was awesome! We could ask anyone for anything and they would handle it, none of the "let me get your server" BS. Started with the cinnamon roll and then washed it down with the Loco Moco!! Next visit I'll do the Deluxe Loco Moco with spam and Portuguese sausage! Staff was awesome, food was awesome, we're coming back, soon! read more

Came across this great little breakfast/brunch/ lunch spot in Camarillo this past weekend. We had the Loco Moco (ground beef patty over rice with eggs and gravey) and the Fried Chicken and waffles! We were not disappointed! The food was delicious. The fried chicken was tender and crispy, and the waffle was huge. The Loco Moco was tasty as well. The service was fast and employees were all great, very friendly and attentive. They have an indoor area that is pretty spacious and outdoor patios for dining as well. The lines can get long, but worth the wait. The restaurant doesn't have a big sign, so it is pretty hidden. Just know that it's located at the corner of the building. We will be coming back to try more menu items. Enjoy and Happy Nom Nom! read more

You've probably driven past this place many times passing your way up or down the grade in Camarillo. I have only been here a few times and only for brunch but the food has always been consistent and the prices are really good for the portion sizes. I always come here for the Hawaiian plates because that's where I think their strengths are. Loco moco, Portuguese sausage, spam, fried rice for breakfast ? Yes please. Seriously they do all these things very well here. The American fare is fairly standard and if you're looking for straight forward diner food you won't be disappointed by other items on the menu. The cinnamon roll is a highlight though, one of my favorite things on the menu and is a great thing to split while you enjoy a cup of coffee before your main meal arrives. Their fried chicken is also a great choice. Crispy and delicious. The place is very casual with both indoor/outdoor seating. Like most brunch places it's going to be busy on the weekends, so prepare for a wait and the kitchen to get backed up. My experience today was that it was pretty quick even though we got there around 10:30. It was busy but not too busy. read more

Hidden Cafe has a beautiful location with a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. I tried the country fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and over-easy eggs. While the portion was huge, the flavor wasn't quite what I was hoping for. It's a great spot to visit for the vibe, but I'm not sure if I'd order this dish again read more

The ahi Benedict, cottage fries and cinnamon rolls are the stars of this place. I always ask for the cinnamon roll to be warmed with a side of butter and it's EVERYTHING. I've taken some as gifts for people and it blows their mind when they try it. I'm still yet to try their fried chicken and loco moco so I need to plan some future trips! Definitely give this place a try if you haven't. It's one of the best hidden gems in the 805! Yum! read more

Like most Yelpers, I like to scope new places to try and stumbled across this place at the base of Conejo Grade. Today is my second visit and am well pleased! What initially caught my eye was Loco Moco on their menu. Aside from a tiki bar in Ventura, finding Loco Moco involves a trip to the South Bay and Torrance area. On my first visit, I tried their deluxe Loco Moco and it was on a par with Liliha Bakery in Honolulu for flavor! For my second visit (today) I tried their Fried Chicken.. another winner. But what also truly brought me back and also for future visits is how friendly and pleasant their staff is! I felt welcomed the very first time I entered! A true gem in Camarillo just off US 101 and also close to Camarillo Grove Park. read more

My wife and I tried to have brunch this morning at Hidden Cafe. It is a bit of a drive, but we hadn't been there for a while, so we thought that we would give it a try. It was just before 9 AM, and the restaurant wasn't crowded, so we went inside. The man at the register was helping another party, but waved us toward the enclosed patio. There was an empty table for two, so we took our seats. About a minute later a woman who appeared to be a server approached us and said something to us that I couldn't understand, so I asked her to repeat what she said. She proceeded to tell us that "I can't allow you to sit here." No explanation as to why. Just a terse statement that she couldn't ALLOW US TO SIT THERE. My wife and I looked at each other and promptly got up and left the restaurant. The staff at this restaurant used to be pleasant and friendly, but that seems to have changed. In the past, the only issue that we ever had at Hidden Cafe was a shortage of close parking. That wasn't issue today, as plenty of parking was available. I can't guess why. read more

I haven't gone to this restaurant in a while and I think it might have gotten even better than last time.

Wonderful "hidden" spot for breakfast and lunch. Pretty much a local spot and for anyone who might frequent the Camarillo Springs Golf Course next door. The food is great here. I love their breakfast. My son usually orders their burgers and sandwiches, I got their Loco Moco (tasty) and their Corned Beef Hash with eggs and fried rice plus pancakes was yummy! Good service, plenty of parking, credit cards okay. You might have a short wait on the weekends since it's a smaller spot. I'm dropping in everything I play golf next door! read more

This place is INCREDIBLE! We started with the cinnamon roll which is huge but doesn't fill you up. Highly recommend it. I kept it simple with one egg, bacon & hash browns. And their coffee is wonderful. Hubby got spam and eggs and rice. He loved it! read more

Hidden is right! Small place in a strip mall with some really friendly staff and service people. Kinda has a diner look and appeal with a Polynesian touch? We were seated after a short wait...it's a Sunday so was not expecting to sit immediately...inside a covered patio area. A large group was right behind me and they seem to be having a very lively loud discussion. However I believe they were speaking Farsi? I only bring it up because I felt bad for the server trying to take our order since she had difficulty hearing it. She was nice and made some suggestions since this was our first time eating here. I ordered what I saw on Yelp as one of the favorites is "Chicken and Waffles " and my wife ordered Eggs Benedict with rice instead of potatoes and a sauce that comes with it that she said will really enhance the dish. She said it had some spice to it and my wife is very sensitive to spicy sauces but when she tried it she then poured the entire cup on her rice and loved it! After a few bites, she then had to keep eating because the heat level lending to incredible flavor made it so she had to keep going. The eggs were perfect and the hollandaise sauce was perfectly seasoned. She really enjoyed her meal. The Chicken and Waffles: somehow unexpected waffles with some fried chicken parts on top with butter and maple syrup? What I got was a 1/2 chicken(Breast, Thigh, Leg and Wing) on a plate and another full Plate of Waffle and butter and syrup. I was not expecting the volume of food. And all of it was $20! The Chicken was amazing! Crisp and juicy not overly spiced. However, I saved the Thigh for pairing with the Waffles and syrup. This turned out to be the "pro" move because as both items individually were excellent, the pairing was synergistically spectacular ! Greater than the sum of the parts!! One of the best Chicken and Waffles I have ever had! Now, what to do with most of the leftover fried chicken? And the half Waffle left over? Took it home and sliced up the chicken breast, leg and wing and added it to a salad and made another meal! Now remember...it's $20! The Eggs Benedict was $16. So our brunch total was less than $50! We definitely will be returning for other goodies! Well Hidden no more! It's on my radar now for sure. read more
