    This is a really cool coffee house to visit even just to get a few cool photo shots. Ambiance is an industrial type but nicely decorated. Service is great, they took our order super fast even though that they were quite busy. This place has your basic coffees plus some specialty drinks and quite a few different Matcha options like with Pistachio Cold Foam. Unfortunately I couldn't try the Matchas variety with cold foams since they were not dairy free. We ordered a regular Iced Ceremonial Matcha with almond milk and a Cortado with almond milk. Matcha was nicely done and the cortado was excellent, like a cortado should be. They did offer some pastries, but we didn't try one.

    Matcha!

    I really love this coffee shop! I tell everyone about it. It's so cute inside. I got a matcha but I've also tried their coffee. 10/10 would recommend.

    Dirty Chai Latte

    I've been on a kick trying out different coffee shops around my work, and today I stumbled across Hidden House coffee. They have a spacious interior with ample free parking in the adjacent lot. I ordered the dirty chai latte, which was nicely spiced and sweet with that good kick of espresso. I'll definitely be back!

    Hidden House Coffee is such a cute spot. I love that there is a whole parking lot which is rare to find in downtown Santa Ana. I've come here at 7am on a weekday, 4pm on a weekend, and the vibes and friendliness of the staff has always been consistent. I love trying unqiue seasonal drinks but I also ask a lot of questions in case I dont like them... and the staff always explained the drinks to me without making me feel bad for interrupting them! Ive tried many drinks here, their pour over was so smooth and came in a fancy bottle, and their strawberry matcha was sooo much better than any other strawberry matcha I've had and it turned out they make their syrup in house! I love coming here on the weekend to study in the patio and it feels like a mini nature getaway. I'm always looking forward to coming!

    Nice cafe ! Strawberry scone was very tasty more like a cake than traditional scone but delicious nonetheless AND sizable portion. Drinks were perfect temp and taste. Seating is a little hit or miss nice they have lots of tables but not quite enough and wooden blocks for sitting aren't great really comfortable. Most people at tables were there for long haul, settled in with computers and such but it's great if you need a place to get out to do work esp with the rain but doesn't leave many options for others coming for coffee and a chat.

    I've been going to Hidden House since they first opened. It remains my top favorite cafe in OC to work, study, or just grab a drink. I've also visited their cute wooden cabin location in SJC. This Santa Ana spot is a gem, tucked away in a neighborhood, an old brick warehouse, with a parking lot conveniently located right next to it. There's just something magical about Hidden House...not just the amazing drinks (smooth coffee), house-made pastries, and the aroma of freshly roasted beans but also the vibe. It truly helps me focus and get into the zone for studying/working. I can honestly sit here for hours and be productive. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. The place is always clean, and you'll often see regular local customers. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the drinks here (especially their seasonal...and we all know their strawberry puree, pumpkin foams..etc are always freshly made in house). My personal favorites are the espresso tonic, pistachio cold brew, and just a standard classic latte. Their house-made pastries are also a must! They have one of the best banana cakes and they'll even heat it up for you. Lately, I've been struggling to focus while studying for a certification exam, so I've been coming here every weekend to stay motivated with a drink and a slice of warm banana cake. I'm not usually someone who stays at cafes for hours but Hidden House is that kind of place. The vibe is just right and the drinks make you want to slowly savor the moment. Truly thankful for this place! and for all the friendly staff and the amazing baker!

    Found this spot by chance. We were headed to 6100 but the line was insane and drove by this place and decided to pop in. Best happy accident ever. Coolest little coffee shop with beautiful brick interior/exterior. Staff was super sweet and gave my little one a sticker. We ordered a brown sugar maple latte, strawberry matcha, breakfast burrito and chocolate twist pastry. Coffee was great phenomenal, the perfect sweetness and super chilled. My husband loved the matcha and said the strawberry was balanced really nicely and again perfect sweetness level. The burrito was really tasty and loved the green salsa. Didn't get to try the chocolate twist because my son inhaled it in a matter and of 2 minutes, so assuming it was good LOL. Awesome little shop that we'll definitely keep in our Sunday morning rotation!

    Vanilla Latte
    Andrea G.

    Sad to report the latte here was mid. Location and shop is super cute but the drink was disappointing.

    Went for the cold brew and it was acidic as all getout!!! If thats your vibe then give it a shot but it was not for me at all. Hard to find parking too, but wonderful vibes once you actually get inside. I dont know if ill be back but if i do im gonna go for a latte or something.

    Strawberry matcha

    First time visitor to Hidden House coffee, I was attending. Womens networking meeting. Parking was an issue since the streets had construction, they do have several spots in the parking lot but were full. To park , you have to pay $10 . I love the vibe, it's very clean, staff was very attentive. I ordered the strawberry matcha which was excellent. My gf order a coffee and the staff member was kind enough to comp the drink because of the lack of parking. I love the back yard area - the large tree and space made it very welcoming I didn't try any food but will definitely come back to try more options.

    Pistachio latte - seasonal item
    Connie B.

    I come to Santa Ana twice a week for work, and I like to stop by Hidden House sometimes to finish work while sipping some yummy coffee. I love to sit on their cute back patio, which has plenty of seating. Parking is in a public lot nearby, which at first glance seems like it charges you parking by the hour - but you actually don't have to pay if you park in the "HHC" spaces. I made the mistake of paying before, so I want to warn my fellow yelpers! My only gripe with Hidden House is the price of their drinks... I know the economy is partly to blame, but I truly can't justify coming often when a flavored latte with normal milk costs $8... but overall, HHC is a great place to get work done and serves high quality drinks!

    Iced matcha & iced latte with honey lavender
    Nicole D.

    The matcha is extremely disappointing, I was hoping since most cafes have taken more initiative with their matchas they'd be up to par, but you can see it's a chalky green with lack of flavor. It's essentially sweet milk, I'd recommend not ordering this if you like matcha. The iced latte is great, they offer several syrups that they make in house. I've historically visited for their espresso and baked goods, which has never disappointed!

    Sugar cookie matcha
    Lauren Y.

    Ordered the sugar cookie matcha and my parents ordered coffees. Everything was very very watery. +1 star for the kind workers who were willing to try to make my matcha drink a little stronger. Unfortunately, their matcha comes in a watery formula in a squirt bottle so when they add more matcha it adds more water. Would love if they could add just matcha powder. Matcha color was not a super bright green either. At one point there was only one worker working the register and making drinks so it took a bit of time to order then get our drinks. Free parking is a plus.

    I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

    Food/Drinks: matcha…read morelatte - not the richest matcha taste or quality and when i got it with oat milk, the oat milk flavor ended up overpowering the matcha a bit. although, it wasn't bad it was still decent to sip on while working! iced caramel macchiato - on the sweeter end of drinks and if you get oat milk it will overpower the taste a bit but still a decent drink banana cream matcha latte - has the creamy texture from the banana cream and surprisingly the banana didn't have a strong artificial banana taste. to me, that's a little rare and in a good way. the matcha isn't a strong matcha taste but still present avocado toast with egg - it was plated and presented nicely which i was kinda surprised about. it tasted decent. the bread is on the softer/soggier end rather than the crispy and toasted end. the sauce and radish overpowers the taste. i got a runny sunny side egg and it was a nice addition for me. service: this spot has one of the nicest helpful service. i was here for a few hours working and despite shift changes, each new staff who was working were so nice and helpful! ambiance: it's such a bright and spacious spot with a few study rooms and many seating. it's bright and has a cozy wooden feel. i love that there are many outlets and it's not overcrowded or too loud. it was the perfect spot to work at!

Service was average. Expect to wait about 10 minutes with average customer volume as they spend more time of curating each drink. 4/5 largely based on coffee as I feel the customer experience can be improved. One piece of feedback is that the menu should be reorganized. There are espresso drinks on several of the menu panels but then one space specifically that is titled espresso drinks which would imply the others don't have espresso. For example, the house specialties are listed on a completely separate panel as the espresso drinks, would've like to order one of those had I known they were offered. Essentially you have to read the whole menu with the way it's currently organized you can't just search for tea or coffee sections or you'll likely miss something Importantly you can't study or work here. They intentionally don't have wifi or outlets available to foster a different customer experience. Many of the clientele were reading or knitting which was pleasant. While I support this, it's not made know to customers by signs or anything - you would have to look on Yelp beforehand to know. In addition, I've been to other Kean branches that offered wifi so unless this is a new policy or the branches are owned independently it's important to make customers aware they can't expect the internet at this location in particular. I was caught off guard and had to leave immediately as I needed wifi at the time which was unfortunate. Seats about 25 inside, patio also available. Bathroom under lock and key. Parking is in l shopping center, no issues.
