HHC Coffee was a wonderful stop and a great way to start our day! I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha, which was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience! read more

We love this place and have been coming here for years now but today was a shitty experience from the lady behind the counter. I couldn't find a way to contact them through email so this is my only option. I went in to get coffee beans and a cold brew per my usual monthly visit with my pup. There was a tall woman behind the counter this time. We went through the typical spiel of what can I get you? Comes with a cold brew, etc etc. But after I walked away, 3 of her colleagues came up to chat and show pictures. As they were chatting I heard her say "I ain't got time for cold brew" and look directly at me. Then they split up and she went to stand at the other end of the counter while the 2 people she was chatting with came behind the counter and started sharing pictures or whatever. It just came off rude. I love this place and these are our favourite beans but just really crappy feeling as a local customer. read more

The drinks were decent, but the service felt pretty indifferent throughout our visit. When we ordered, the interaction felt very transactional, with little friendliness or engagement from the staff. When one of our drinks came noticeably sour and I asked if it could be remade, they did replace it without issue, but the interaction felt more like an obligation than an effort to ensure we had a good experience. I don't expect over-the-top enthusiasm, but a little warmth and hospitality can go a long way in making customers feel welcome. Unfortunately, that was something we felt was missing during our visit. read more

It is unfortunate that as I was browsing reviews, another very recent review touched upon the service experience here too. I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing.... read more

I had a great experience here visiting from out of town. There's lots of parking, although most of it you have to pay. Lots of places to sit inside, including an outdoor patio. There were 2 restrooms, which was perfect because I took my kids. I opted for a hot latte and I got the brown butter maple one. It was so good! I also opted with getting 2 mini loaves of pumpkin bread and at $3 each, it was a steal! read more

Fantastic hidden gem in downtown Santa Ana. Found this place online and when to check it out. From outside, you really don't want to get in but once you got in, you really don't want to leave. Parking can be easy cheesy with 2hrs free street parking or paid parking lot next door. Inside was something, high ceiling, spacious fill with great smell of great coffees. They do roasted coffee here for sales so if you're looking you can watch the whole process and the aroma is something for sure. Small menu with seasonal menu plus plenty of wonderful and delicious pastries and premade foods. Staff are very nice, chill, friendly and knowledgeable of the coffee. Thai is the place you want to be at to work, chill or just watch everything going on cause it's a nonstop traffic here. Seating both inside with varies choice of setting, counters (mostly), tables or couches (I think) or shades big backyard to hangout. Highly recommended, you can't really go wrong with a fantastic vibe here. Ps cops go here a lot since the courthouse & government office la are nearby. read more

Hidden house cafe is located exactly like it's called in a hidden location lol, jk it's not that bad but still, it kind of reminds me of a speak easy entrance. Anyway, either way, super cool spot, coffee is nice and strong and the matcha delicious. Service is good, could be better but not terrible. The location and beautiful outdoor seating area makes up for any lack of anything. Our friend from out of town loved it! read more

This place is a vibe! Very cute inside and outside. Parking is free at the lot next door, as long as you park in the spots that say "HHC.". All the baristas were friendly and patient, as it was our first time here and were a little undecided. I ordered and egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant, delicious. The croissant was perfectly toasted, buttery and flaky. I also ordered an iced pistachio latte, came with cold foam, again delicious. Not overly sweet, good flavor. We sat outside and the patio area is very spacious, has music playing but not blasting which was nice. Cute outdoor area with plenty of seating and tables. We'll be back here for sure! read more

Got two pastries a cinnamon roll and chocolate twist. And two drinks a strawberry matcha and iced coffee with a vanilla foam. Chocolate twist was delicious would recommend. Cinnamon roll was not good very hard, tasted weird. Matcha was more milk than matcha, wouldn't recommend. Coffee was good, vanilla foam tasted like milk foam no vanilla flavor. Okay service, it was busy so I'm sure they were over it. A lot of seating. Spent $30 on four items the two drinks and two pastries. Good prices, I just didn't enjoy most of what I ordered. I wouldn't come back. Vibes are off. read more

Oh how I've missed you! It's been awhile since I've been here due to not working in the area anymore. Just as good as I remebered. Delicious! I ordered a black hot coffee, almond croissant, a brown sugar maple latte. The latte was Perfectly blended coffee with slightly sweet flavoring which was not overpowering. Paired it with a bagel bomb! The croissant was delicious as well. Highly recommend. Service was excellent and the vibe was chill on this early Saturdaymor kind. The place is cute with indoor and outdoor seating. If you're looking for a comfortable and hip coffee shop, it's his is it! I lived closer, I'd be a regular, again! read more

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. read more

Hidden House Coffee - Strawberry matcha, brown sugar latte + a hot cocoa - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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! read more

Hidden House Coffee parking is located on that big lot passing the location. There is a sign at the entrance that may say something like reserved for event parking, which I think is for the church near Hidden House Coffee, but keep driving through. There are several spots allocated for HHC patrons and they are marked. This visit, we ordered a black iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, brown sugar maple latte, bagel bomb, and bacon cheddar scone. They make their own syrups and the coffee was good. I really enjoyed the filling of the bagel. If they sold it, I would buy it! I'm going back just for the bagel bomb. I've never had a savory scone but it was quite delicious. It was firm on the outside but fluffy on the inside. They have indoor seating as well as a spacious patio in the back. The tables are set up under the shade but there are a couple of seats that get some sun. read more

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.

Hidden House Coffee - Dirty Chai Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Hidden House Coffee - Strawberry matcha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Hidden house used to be one of the best coffee shops in OC probably 7-10 years ago. It was one of the few places with good coffee beans and a large seating area for groups to gather or study or even work. Fast forward to today it feels like any other coffee shop in OC. Their coffee beans aren't amazing compared to places that specialize in roasting and sourcing beans and there are some negatives as well. Parking is an extreme struggle most times I go on the weekend and it has gotten crowded which makes seating hard. Overall the people are very nice and service is good but again hidden house is just like all the other coffee shops. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Delicious coffee, gluten free pastries, and lots of seating! And they have outdoor seating out back too. I just got off the Pacific Surfliner and was looking for coffee and gluten free dessert to enjoy on an especially beautiful day! I found Hidden House on Yelp and saw a picture of the brown sugar maple latte - yum! When I went in the nice person asked what I would like and I showed him a the Yelp picture and asked for oat milk and only single shot of espresso. He made a delicious latte and was very nice ! They had a nice selection of gluten free desserts and I had the wonderful Pina Colada cake. I sat and worked for awhile. Great experience for coffee, dessert, and ambiance. I look forward to returning next time I'm in California! read more

I come here off and on when I'm in the area for coffee and never really had an issue in the past. The coffee is always delicious and the place is cute and hipstery. Unfortunately it just seems like some of the employees don't want to be bothered..I understand work is stressful and they can get busy but it is a service job. I'm going to just assume it was an off day and will be back again but apologies if the day just wasn't treating you too well. read more

Love trying new coffee shops and this was a great find! When we first walked in, I was shocked at how big it was! You really can't tell from the outside. They even have an outdoor patio so you can come here with a large group. I got a seasonal drink: brown sugar maple latte. It was delicious! I don't normally care for maple flavored things, but it wasn't too overwhelming here, and perfectly balanced with the latte. Service was super friendly and drinks came out fairly quick even though they were busy! A lot of people were working/studying, and I really like the rustic, cozy, ambiance. A solid spot to visit if you're near downtown Santa Ana! read more

I have to say Hidden House Coffee in Santa Ana was worth the trip even just for coffees. Few blocks from the store Harveys, creators of the iconic seatbelt bags and walking by bakeries only they were closed on a Wednesday, ended up at Hidden House Coffee to chill. Such warm and laidback atmosphere I can spend all day there! I enjoy signature coffees whenever I'm in a coffee shop I feel good about and I had the Brown Sugar Maple Latte hot. Not overly sweet which was nice and less guilt. It was a beautiful sunny day, the outdoor area was perfect to enjoy the moment. Service was welcoming and attentive. read more

Came to Hidden House Cafe to spend an hour working and being creative, and unfortunately the vibe was off from the moment I walked in. The cashier seemed really unwelcoming and standoffish. Maybe she was having a bad day, I don't know, but the interaction felt cold and uncomfortable. I ended up matching the energy and kept it brief. On the bright side, my iced matcha was ready in about a minute, which was great. But honestly, customer service can make or break an experience, and this one left me not wanting to come back. I haven't been here in months, and I was hoping for a more welcoming atmosphere. Just sharing my experience and hoping management pays attention, because a little kindness goes a long way. read more

My wife and I stumbled upon this coffee shop and loved it! She ordered the hot Maple Brown Sugar latte and I ordered a regular coffee. Both were excellent --- the Maple Brown Sugar Latte was indulgent and not too sweet. We sat both inside and outside to read. Inside has a really nice buzzy vibe to it --- a kind of positive energy that makes it conducive to working. Outside, especially on a great day, is a relaxing place to chill. Hidden House Coffee does have its own parking (although I parked on the street) so you're not totally reliant on street parking. The staff here are very friendly. read more

the coffee here is always great! I do wish that the baristas would at least say hello when you walk up to order.

No flavor at all. -Pistachio Latte (iced) 3/5 The cold foam on this drink was amazing but coffee was so light.

I've been coming to Hidden House Coffee for about a decade, ever since my "tour of coffee shops" in search of the best cappuccino. I found it, and they're still undefeated ten years later. Ben, the owner and former Marine, runs the place with friendly military precision and will even jump behind the bar to make drinks like a caffeinated action hero. Broc, the roaster, knows so much about coffee I'm convinced he can hear a bean's emotions before he roasts it. And the baristas? Absolute gems. Every single one. You don't just get a great drink, you get great conversation, personality, and sometimes life advice that hits harder than the espresso. I've recommended Hidden House to everyone I know and have personally dragged about 20 friends here. The Santa Ana location is big and welcoming. Perfect for the work from home people or just a touch and go. The OG shop in San Juan Capistrano is right next to the train stop, which makes grabbing a morning cappuccino feel like a tiny adventure. Beautiful town, perfect coffee, good people. what more do you want? I came for the coffee and left with lasting friendships. Hidden House Coffee is simply the best. read more
