I took my mom here for a Mother's Day brunch and my birthday celebration because it falls around the same time every year. I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon. read more

I had a magical, memorable experience at Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights). I ordered the Boba Bear Set ($8.50). It's a brown sugar milk tea with caramel foam with a floating frozen milk tea bear. ADORABLE!! The set even includes two house-made cookies. WOW! TASTY!! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) on Wednesday (around 10:21AM). Parking is very easy. The lot is big. However, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is very hidden. It has no visibility from the street! Staff is very professional and welcoming. Staff politely and cheerfully answered all my questions. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. For example, the location does not have a paper menu; all the menus are accessed via QR Code. Fortunately, Staff let me borrow their iPad which allowed me to see the menu on a larger screen. When I'd arrived, Staff asked if I was dine-in or to-go. I was immediately seated. When I'd inquired about the boba. Staff honestly told me that they needed 15 additional minutes to prepare the boba. I brightly waited. All in all, after the 15 minute wait, the drink took an additional 10 minutes before being ready. As mentioned, I ordered the Boba Bear Set ($8.50). CUTE!!! It's a very aesthetic and memorable presentation. The boba pearls came perfect; they're bouncy, perky, and playful. The brown sugar milk tea mixed with the caramel foam tasted honey-like. It's very TASTY! My biggest nitpick is that the amount felt tiny. Still, it's a wonderful memory that I'm so happy to experience! On ambiance, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is comfortable and clean. There's about 13 interior tables, and there's six patio tables. The music is slow-tempo, and the tall ceiling made it feel spacious. In addition, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) has utility. There's customer internet with password; details are available on the QR code menu. There's also about four electrical outlets. I also appreciated the self-service water station. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) felt very hidden yet well-maintained. It's a lovely spot. Overall, I had a magical, memorable experience. I discovered AMAZING milk tea and many precious memories. If searching for someplace special, I happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5 read more

This cafe was not only adorable but the staff were so sweet and welcoming. The ambiance felt so fresh but like home. I love all the plants there and the decor. Plus seeing so many patrons using the cafe as a work space was great as it's a third space. We weren't able to stay long but the cafe's infamous Boba Bear Set was well worth the drive. Looking forward to visiting again! read more

This was a cute spot for a lunch date. We got seated rather quickly for 2 people in the late afternoon, probably 1:30 pm? The interior decor was cute and cozy. large group sizes might not be as comfy inside, I think the largest comfortably could be 6. They have outdoor seating which is nice and could potentially fit a group of 6 there, too. Waiter was friendly and helpful and accommodated our needs when they came up. Onto the food~ We ordered the wagyu with fries, the berry waffle plate and the grilled chicken salad to share between the two of us. The portions were decent--it was enough for the two of us who were on empty stomachs. The meat is cooked to your preference for the wagyu as well as the egg. it was seasoned nicely and came with the chimchurri sauce. It was a little chewy but still tasted good. The grilled chicken salad was good, portion was rather small to share between two people but it still worked out. I liked the flavoring but I feel like the meat cuts could've been bigger. The berry waffle plate was a nice dish to share. It came with ice cream and egg custard. Great closing to our meal. For drinks--I ordered a cappuccino which was average. They provide you a liter of water for you to refill, which is nice! Parking is pretty easy. This place is inside the plaza and was fairly easy to find, too. Overall I think the food is decent, price wasn't too bad but the portions were quite small. I'd like to come back to try other things, too. read more

Hide Out Café is a cozy Asian-fusion spot known for its chill vibes, friendly service, and surprisingly creative drinks and dishes. In my visit, I treated myself to the café's adorable Boba Bear Set. A frozen milk tea bear served with a house-made cookie, plus an Osmanthus latte this latte was heart warming and delicious. For food I started with their fresh avocado dip and homemade tortilla chips, then enjoyed a basil-sautéed chicken with rice and salad for my main. To top it all off: churro and ice cream for dessert. Which had a house made whipped cream! If you're into cute drinks and comforting, tasty eats, this place offers a little escape from the everyday. Can't wait to go back for seconds and thirds! Tips: Lots of parking if you pull all the way around to the back lot where there is a parking structure! read more

Came here for brunch, and ordered the BBQ pork plate. It usually comes with rice and salad, but I opted for an extra rice scoop instead. The pork was good - seasoned well and they used pork belly so it was flavorful. The sunny side up egg was a nice touch. The person I came with ordered the popcorn chicken which they thought was okay. Overall, the food here is pretty good, but it tasted very one-note. The service was good, and the restaurant had both inside and outside seating. It is possible that we just didn't order the right dishes, but nothing that we ordered really stood out to me. read more

They offer a digital menu, and you may have to wait if you need a table inside/outside; the staff will show you to a table. The place is kept neat, clean, and very well decorated.

Hide Out Cafe is super cute and has the sweetest customer service -- everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the second we walked in! We ordered the Chimi Wagyu & Frites, and it was delicious -- tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the crispy fries. The Deep Fried Platter was a fun mix of popcorn chicken, onion rings, tenders, and mozzarella sticks -- great for sharing and super satisfying. For dessert, the Banana Nutella Waffle was a winner. Warm, fluffy, and topped just right. We also tried their Boba Bear set and Gummy Bear, which added such a cute, playful touch to the whole experience. Overall, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back with friends. Cozy vibe, yummy food, and genuinely kind staff -- what more can you ask for? read more

This brunch spot was very solid - the hashtag fries and popcorn chicken were delicious though the minced pork noodle dish lacked a bit of flavor. The tiramisu milk tea was amazing! Only thing I have to say is not sure if most people were out or there aren't mah servers but there was only one person handling all the orders and making drinks and I felt very bad. 10 out of 10 stars for his service and he was very appreciative for our patience. read more

Such a cute hangout! The waiter was very helpful and giving with so much energy! The tiramisu latte was perfectly sweet and delicious. The popcorn chicken was drowned in garlic. A little too much garlic. Enough to fight off vampires. The chicken sandwich was pretty good but I was hoping for more breading on the chicken. The waffle was perfect and the crisp cut fries were perfectly crispy and flavored. I look forward into trying other items on the menu. read more

I used to come here so often to grab a drink or catch up with friends, but there's so many other boba spots competing. Though, I would say this place focuses more on coffee... and now food and instagrammable drinks. Unfortunately the Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea I ordered tasted so diluted, with no sweetness and no tea flavor. I was tempted to have them add some syrup or remake it but I kept it. Their drinks are usually pretty good so I must've ordered the wrong thing this time. It's always a great place to study or chat. For some reason once I sit here, I end up staying for hours chilling! read more

We went there on a Sunday. The place is super small. With party of 6, it was very tight. What really bothered us was they were super slow. It took 45 mins till we got our drinks. The waitress came to confirm our drink order after order placed 20 mins, only to confirm whether we wanted hot or cold latte. Then they brought the wrong one. 1 of us did not have our drink till we all finished eating. In terms of food, its just super basic. They tried to present it pretty but nothing special. We all got our food at different times. I ordered the wagyu salad, you would think it should be fast, but i did not get my order till everybody almost finished theirs. Wont come back again. read more

Decided to check out this cafe since I was near by. It had vintage decor and a pleasant feel. I was greeted promptly and welcomed to sit wherever I liked. The employee was friendly and quite busy since he was serving alone. Despite that he was able to manage a decent amount of customers inside and outside of the establishment. He seemed to be doing it all in a timely manner and with a great attitude. I ordered the chicken and waffle plate with a latte and it was pretty good. The latte was served in a large mug and the presentation was lovely. The sandwich was served with a sesame dressing on it and it added a great balance. I enjoyed it here and would go again. read more

I have to thank Pamela L. for bringing me here! She was visiting all the way from New Jersey, and we thought this would be a great brunch place to catch up and chat. The Boba Bear (brown sugar milk tea with cream top and a frozen milk tea bear) was enjoyable. Aesthetics aside, it was a solid drink that is comparable to many standalone boba shops. Maybe even better than a few in my opinion. The topping was perfectly chewy and bouncy. It came with a few cookies, which was nice. Coco Waffle (belgian waffles, pecan ice cream, rolled wafers) was also a treat! Definitely for the sweet tooths since it's a lot of sugar this early in the morning. Chocolatey goodness! Also recommend the matcha latte and dry noodles.

The food tastes better than the lack of ambiance. When I walked up to the cafe, there were outdoor tables, but those are set aside for take out orders only. With the exception of the large bear reading a book on a bench and a couple racks of decorations, the seating inside is nothing special. Stark, like a fast food restaurant. I sat at the bench near the window. The music is loud. You have to yell when speaking to someone sitting next to you. I ordered the avocado toast, which comes with a side salad, and boba bear tea set that comes with a couple biscuits. No complaints about the food and drink. My drink was delivered after my meal. It would have been nice to enjoy my drink while eating. The staff were aware and did not charge me for my tea set. Important note: The boba tea comes with whole milk only. read more

I had hoped to give this café a very high review rating. Based on the whole concept of this place, they really sounded like a great and fun place to hang out. I suppose in some ways that's true. You walk in and modern music is blasting. And, I do mean blasting. It's blasting so loud, that the staff actually has to yell, to communicate. Some people may like this, some may not. For me, it reminds me of a different era when it was not unusual for cafés to have music playing this loud. Overall, the service here was very good and the staff very friendly. Aside from the fact that one of the people working the counter was talking to his friend, at a very high volume, obviously because they couldn't hear each other because the music was so loud. But other than that, the other server was very friendly and attentive. The food and the overall time to get what you order here is where this café really falls short. For example, the food and the drinks arrive with very nice presentation. The flavor, however, was not very good. They should really step up their game. Probably the biggest downside of this café came when my wife ordered one of their Boba Bear Sets. This did not arrive until we had finished our meal. I had also finished my latte. Then, they finally deliverer it, full of apologies. Meaning, it took them at least thirty to thirty-five minutes to prepared it and bring it to our table. Why this occurred, I have no idea. But, I believe we can all agree, that's really not acceptable. I will say, that when we asked for our bill we were told that due to the wait time for the Boba Set, they were not going to charge us for it. I told them we were happy to pay, but the server insisted that it was free. Overall, this is a fun café, with a unique atmosphere and some interesting offerings. But, there is just something missing in the overall experience. Just my opinion. Keep this in mind. read more

Review is purely for their coffee. The place is cozy! Nice decor inside but I'm not sure if it's a coffee place. The coffee kinda tasted like it came from a boba shop and was super sweet. It was also $7.50 which I thought was expensive for the area. The bartender was very nice tho! I wouldn't come back for the coffee but I would try their brunch food. read more

Cozy little cafe in a large plaza. Our waiter, J, was very helpful and gave great recommendations. Service was superb and he was always attentive to the table. We ordered quite a few dishes so that everyone could try a little bit of each. My daughter loved the wagyu steak salad, even though I thought the cut that we got was a little tough. The basil sautéed chicken was flavorful and tasty. When I ordered the pork belly rice I was thinking it would be tender braised chunks of pork belly like Phoenix Inn, however this was the same sliced pork belly that they grilled like one would have at hot pot. It was nice to have the deep fried platter where you get to select 4 different items of your choice. Drinks were very good. We tried the lychee mojito, hot cocoa and the cold brew coffee. They all were the perfect combination of flavor without being overpowering. Lastly, we tried the banana Nutella waffle. Great ending to the meal! read more

More of a 3.5 until we try some of their drinks on the next visit. It's a nice cafe to have some drinks, lunch and chat. Music can be a little loud but it's not too bad. I love the decor and the vibes of the place. Service tends to be a little all over the place since the people making your drinks are also the same people seating, cleaning tables, taking orders and serving. You'll have to get their attention at times to get help. They're very friendly, but they get asked to do a lot here. Food wise, I really enjoyed the sautéed basil spicy chicken. It's got a nice kick to it, and the basil adds a nice flavor profile to the dish. Think Korean spicy chicken/pork you at other places sautéed with basil. Popcorn chicken is a good, seasoned well with lots of garlic. I wonder if I could've asked for spicier next time. I wish the basil was fried better, it just doesn't have any crisp to it. I like the places that fry the basil super crispy. We were on a time crunch so all we got was the cold brew. Nothing special so I wouldn't get it again, but next time we'll try the coffee sets or the boba bear sets read more

Meeting up with my awesome Yelper, Justin L. (Boba Boy), I suggested this place for a Monday brunch. It's located in a plaza full of Asian businesses with Chinese signages. I have seen a few of my other Yelp friends hit up this spot and it did not disappoint. First off, service is a 10/10. The guy was attentive, patient and asked if we have any food allergies. Justin is more of a sweets kind of guy and I prefer savory. I studied the menu before coming & ordered the Dry Noodle and a hot Matcha Latte. Justin went for the adorable Boba Bear Set and Coco Waffle. Presentation-wise, it was all very eye pleasing. Our phone cameras went click, click, snap, snap. My Matcha latte came piping hot and we both said...wowww, what a big mug, you get your money's worth. The Dry Noodle is on the smaller portion but it was perfect for me. I let Justin have a few bites because I wanted to hear what he thought. It was absolutely slurping delishhhh. Love the minced pork, peanuts and dried onions. The noodles were coated with cholesterol free veggie oil. The side of chili oil kicked it up a notch. Justin loved his waffles and milk tea. With our keen boba eyes, we could tell the tapioca was perfectly bouncy and chewy even before he took his first sip. Don't forget to take a few selfies with the cute bear by the entrance. Always a pleasure and so much fun catching up with Justin. Thanks for taking the time to meet up with this NYC gal from the East Coast. Until next time... read more

I found this place, like I do most places, on social media and was in the area so my sister, fiancé, and I decided to check it out. We had gone on a Saturday which I assumed would be busy but it wasn't which was nice for us since we got seated almost immediately. It's a cute place, there's art on the walls and little sayings everywhere but it is on the smaller side so during busy hours, I can imagine it's a bit of a wait. Our server was nice and quick and the food was extremely delicious. We enjoyed everything we got. The spicy cheese noodle soup was yumm, the broth was flavorful and I liked the noodles they used, I just wish it had been a tad bit on the spicer side. The #Hash-tag waffle fries are a must, I don't typically like sunny side up eggs but having that egg with the crispy fries and topped with the yummy pork paired so well together. I would go back just for those fries. The popcorn chicken was also good, crispy and very flavorful and it came with a salad that had a sesame dressing that I could have drank, it was seriously good. It's in a shopping center with various other establishments, parking is weird and sometimes hard to find but definitely worth it if you're looking for a great bite to eat. read more

I remember coming here 10 years ago when I was still in high school. It looks like they have revamped their menu since then but still have their original hashtag fries! The place still looks very aesthetic and a cute place to dine in and get brunch. I ordered online for pickup. The food was ready within 10-15mins. When I arrived, the barista made my coffee fresh. The fries were still good and crunchy, not soggy. The coffee was good as well, not too sweet (I only got 50% sweetness). read more
