i recommend the blueberry matcha + cream top but it can be a bit pricey. but tbh matcha is usually very expensive especially in LA, so i dont think its a vice of the company itself, thats just how it is usually. i appreciate the convenience bcz theres not a lot of places around monrovia that serves such high quality matcha. i also like how they have a bigger size now too and the drinks came out fast. shoutout to my cashier who was very nice love u girl read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Background On Visit: Walking with no purpose led me this shop. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restrooms: There's no restrooms available at this shop. Location/Parking: Located on Lime Ave between Primrose Ave. and Myrtles Ave.. Across from Library Park. Parking can be found along Lime, Myrtle, or in surrounding residential streets. Ambiance/Decor: Not much ambiance, but the euro pass through window is nice to look at. This shop is a to-go type of shop. There tables/chairs on the sidewalk to enjoy your drink, but you can walk across the street and enjoy them at the park. Service: Service good good and the baristas were friendly and informational about the shop. My drink didn't take long to make. Drink Of Choice: They didn't have any drip coffee. So I decided on the next best thing, cold brew! The 24 hour cold brew went down the hatch quite nicely. Hideout Coffee For Thought: I wouldn't mind giving place another shot. read more

I really wanted to love this place given the cute vibe and proximity to Library Park. However, I was left a little underwhelmed by the Matcha Latte for the price I paid. I ordered the matcha latte and substituted the dairy for almond milk and the agave for honey. I asked the barista if this was a recommended substitute for their non-dairy customers and she confirmed this would be ok. (Some places steer me towards oat milk for the creaminess, but I've found in all places but this one to trust the barista.) I ordered it hot, but received something lukewarm and very bland. It wasn't sweet nor was there any good matcha flavor. If I were to come again, I'll have to try something else. read more

Staff was amazing! I'm excited they reopened, since working in the area i've been looking for a good matcha spot for my daily craving. It was so yummy, the strawberry milk tasted like real strawberries (without any artificial flavors). The matcha wasn't too sweet with an umami and a rich creamy taste. It was the perfect balance ! Definitely will be coming back to try more flavors and combinations! read more

Hideout Coffee - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I was honestly pretty bumped about the coffee. Ordered an cappucinno. The coffee was nothing special and bitter. As a person who roast and do cuppings for profiling, I was stunned that they did not do coffee justice. Tasting and profiling is essential part of the process for coffee. Choice of coffee beans for every brew is vast. As baristas, we find the best way to extract the depth of flavor it can deliver. read more

It's back! Great service. I got a 16 oz pistachio latte with salted vanilla cream top. $8.50. Pricey but delicious and smooth. Not too sweet. read more

Hideout Coffee - Vanilla latte topped with Rose cream foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

It was located inside the acai place. Just gonna go straight to the point... My lavender latte was ok. It wasn't bad for the price. The lavender flavor was there. The matcha lavender was a different story. The lavender flavor in the matcha was nonexistent. Also, for the price the size was really small. Adding cream top was an extra $1.50 so it was super expensive, imo. However, the bigger problem was the drink itself. It wasn't good. The matcha was lacking and like I mentioned...the lavender was nonexistent. Most likely will not return. Street parking avail Service was ok read more

Hideout Coffee - Lavender matcha w/cream top, lavender matcha, & Lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Hideout Coffee (est 2025/04) is a tiny new to-go-cafe shop located on Lime ave in Monrovia. It's a fast growing cafe serving coffee, matcha, chai, and more! As the name denotes, this coffee shop is inside an old brick wall building with a small window on the side street facing east of Monrovia Public Library. It has no outdoor or indoor seats because it wasn't design to be a sit in coffee shop. Nevertheless, they offer a modest variety of coffee and tea which can be hot or cold. I visited this coffee shop today-Memorial Day- and had a great experience. It is beautiful. I ordered a 12oz Rose Latte which was a traditional latte with the addition of subtle sweet, floral notes. Its rose flavor was not strong or over powering. If you enjoy a traditional latte, this one is worth trying. Staff was cordial and professional. Service was spot on. Prices were fair and competitive. Finding parking was easy. Collectively, this was a good to-go- coffee shop find. Overall, I enjoyed my latte and their service. I recommend and hope you support this tiny coffee shop. read more

Small little cafe in downtown Monrovia! I think it used to be located on the side of the building but it moved inside the açaí place. The menu is small but I really liked the matcha latte! It already comes sweetened with agave so it's perfect if you like your latte on the sweeter side. There was a little bit of a wait since there's just one staff working but they're super friendly! Lots of street parking and located around a lot of cute stores for you check out after you get your coffee/matcha! read more

Pistachio latte- really good! They include little bits of pistachio inside the coffee. It has really strong pistachio taste so if you're not that big of a fan you might not like it. Sometimes it looks like there's only one person working. They'll be taking orders and making the coffee so the line will be really long. I've had to walk away from the wait times before. The 12oz coffee is also the standard and really small. You're better off getting a 16oz with the amount of ice they put on the iced drinks. The coffee is pricey but I can confidently say they're making really great coffee. Given the size to price ratio of the drinks and really long wait times, it's still 4 stars for me. It's worth a try every once in a while. read more

Cute new coffee spot in great location in Old Town! Really nice iced pistachio latte, friendly service every time I've been, and decent prices. It's a sorta-hidden little walk up window with no indoor access or outdoor seating so come prepared - but it's right across from Library Park which has plenty of benches and seating opportunities - or just enjoy a walk around Old Town with your coffee! I've stopped by a few times and the staff have always been very welcoming and friendly. We've tried the iced pistachio latte as I mentioned, as well as the blueberry latte and lavender latte (both hot). The pistachio latte has been my fave - iced is a great version and it even has little pieces of pistachio nuts in it, which I loved. The blueberry latte was also really nice - creamy with a mild blueberry flavor - and both of these weren't too sweet which I appreciated. And while I enjoyed the blueberry, I think it would've been much better iced. The lavender latte was my least fave - their espresso has a lovely flavor depth in all the lattes - but the lavender was very bitter and I just couldn't drink much of it. I definitely wouldn't get this again. They offer pastries now too - sometimes muffins and sometimes other varieties. They're right behind Açaí Bar and easy to find. Their prices are pretty decent for the area and I look forward to trying the strawberry latte next time! read more

We tried the pistacchio and lavender latte! Both were really good and the girls working here were also so sweet and answered our questions. There was no line when we came and plenty of parking but we also came at 10am on a week day so I'm sure on weekends and early mornings there is more of a line. The building is really beautiful that it's in, but there will be no seating so it's definitely grab and go. There are also limited food options here and only one kind of muffin when we came so you may need to grab food elsewhere. Otherwise we had no complaints! read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Hideout Coffee is located in Old Town Monrovia, across from Monrovia Library Park and tucked behind Açaí Bar. I've walked past this spot multiple times, always curious about the closed door. Today, I finally saw it open and was surprised to find that it's just a small window booth for ordering coffee, not a sit-down café. There was a surprisingly decent line of people waiting to order, which speaks to its popularity. The concept is interesting--it's not a place to hang out, but rather a grab-and-go coffee spot. The menu offers all the classic options, including coffee, espresso, chai, and matcha, with prices ranging from $3.50 to $7. Overall, It's definitely more of a quick stop than a destination, but I'm intrigued by its unique setup. read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

The store is located in downtown Monrovia right across from the library. You can find street parking or park in the nearby lots. There is no seating. It's a grab and go spot. We tried the pistachio latte and salted matcha cream top. They charge the salted matcha cream top as $8 instead of $7. When I asked her but the menu says $7 she said "yea the menu is wrong". Both drinks were good but $8 for matcha is a bit steep. I actually had a buy one get one 50% off coupon; otherwise I'm not sure I would pay $8 for it in the future. Also the line is pretty long. While waiting for my drinks I saw some people get in line...then out of line. read more

This grab-and-go coffee shop just opened in Old Town Monrovia, and it has a really cute aesthetic. I was excited to try it since I'm always here, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. I originally wanted the chai with the cream top, but they told me they didn't have it--which was odd for a coffee shop considering it was Sunday at 9 AM. It didn't seem busy, so I'm not sure if they ran out or just didn't prep it for the day. I ended up ordering a chai with an espresso shot instead. The service was also a bit off. It took a while to order and get my drink, and the girl who helped me just stared without saying much or acknowledging the wait. As for the drink, it was just okay-- watery taste and not as smooth as I expected. It reminded me of a latte that had been sitting out too long with melted ice. I might give this place another try in case it was just an off day or a barista issue, but overall, it didn't leave the best first impression. read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Hideout is a grab-and-go coffee shop in downtown Monrovia. I heard a lot of rave about their matcha so I decided to walk down and try for myself! Iced Matcha with Cream: 5/5, Good quality matcha and paired well with the foam. I definitely could see the hype around it! The total came out to $8.82 ($6.50 Matcha + $1.50 Foam + Tax) which I thought was a bit on the steeper end for a 12oz matcha. For a grab-and-go coffee shop, I assumed that the service would be quicker. I ended up waiting 15 minutes for my drink on a Monday morning. I noticed that 3 people who ordered after me received their drinks before I did. Although the staff let me know that my drink was on the way, I still thought this was strange especially since someone after me had also ordered a matcha. Unfortunately, I don't know if I will be returning anytime soon due to the pricing and wait. I would much rather pay for matcha that had seating as well and be able to enjoy it while doing some work. I think it's a great concept for people who are looking to take a stroll down Myrtle with a cup of coffee. But if you are looking to try out Hideout, I would totally recommend their matcha! read more

Hideout Coffee is a brick and mortar coffee stand. It's a grab and go place. I got a hot blueberry matcha with oat milk, The flavor of the drink was good. The blueberry syrup didn't taste artificial or overpowering. And the drink wasn't overly sweet. It still retained its matcha flavor. The reason why I am only giving this place three stars is because there is no seating. There is a park across the street with a few benches. For me, when I think of coffee or tea, I like to have an indoor or outdoor place to sit and read or work. So if you are looking for a grab and go place for coffee/matcha/tea then this is a good option. For a sit-down experience, I would go somewhere else. Service was fine. The lady at the counter taking orders wasn't trained up to know all the ingredients and details of the drinks. So a little more training of all the staff members would be my recommendation. Also, even though the address says it's on Myrtle , it's located on Lime, across from the park. read more

My wife and I went to Old Town Monrovia for lunch. I found parking on Lime Avenue. As we were walking towards Myrtle Avenue, we noticed people waiting next to a door. As we looked, it was a small coffee spot. On our way back, we decided to try their lattes. My wife had the hot matcha latte with almond milk. I had the cold blueberry latte with almond milk. My blueberry latte was good and smooth. My wife loved her matcha latte. DJ's rating: 4.15/5.00 Would we come back? Yes. read more

The cafe is nice in concept but terrible in practice. For a coffee shop embedded in the wall it should be great for a quick on-the-go drink. But the wait is far too long for such concept. You're left with people waiting for their drink and to order that it'll block the sidewalk. You're also left suseptible to the weather during the long wait. In addition, due to the chaotic nature, the line is left haphazardly made. Therefore, there's uncertainty about who's waiting. While waiting, a person who seem like the owner and family immediately cut front and acknowledged none of the customers. Typically new owners have been really friendly and accommodating but this professionalism is lost on this owner(?). While long lines aren't a deterrent, the service wasn't worth the drink. For once, I actually bailed. There are plenty of other cafes around. read more

Hideout Coffee - Cafe front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Cute shop, terrible customer service. A person with a letterman jacket featuring Hideout Coffee cut the entire line with his family to order. He is clearly involved with if not the owner of the business and I found it super unprofessional and rude. We waited at the front of the line for 10-15 and were told they'd be right with us repeatedly. We ended up leaving without ordering due to the lack of service or communication. read more

So if you're a fan of matcha, give this place a try it will pleasantly surprise you. read more

I gave up coffee a few years ago, but this place is suckering me back in. So far I have only tried decaf but it's so dang good. I tried the pistachio latte and lavender latte and both were so good and addictive. I took a sip of the blueberry latte and although my hubby likes it, it was just ok for me. Next I want to try the cardamom matcha. This place is a little hard to find. It's literally a door that opens to the counter where you order. Super cute concept. read more

This place is so cute! It's not an actual cafe to sit or meet at but it's right across from a park so that's where my friend and I went after getting our coffees. I tried their house made blueberry latte and it was sweet but not too sweet. The coffee was strong, meaning I actually could taste it. It wasn't just "all milk" as some lattes end up being. If you don't look close enough you may miss this place. It's literally a doorway in a wall where someone takes your order. I found it cute and unique. They have a variety of coffee to choose from too. Both my friend and I loved our drinks and I'd go back again! As for parking there's a lot outside as it's street parking as well as a parking lot behind the building. read more

I like this place!! Not a good place to study because it's grab and go coffee but it's super cute. I really enjoyed the Pistachio latte even though I don't like pistachio lattes in general, but they make it well! I do think their prices are high, but being in Old Town Monrovia, you gotta. Definitely stop by if you want a treat. Would love if they expanded their specialty coffee menu. read more

My friend posted several photos of drinks from this place when it first opened, putting it on my radar. Photos online were pretty legit although there seemed to be mixed reviews, so I decided to give it a try. Stopped by on a Friday morning and there was a steady stream of customers. This isn't a typical coffee spot, but literally a hole in the wall where you order through their open window and take the drinks to-go. Lots of street parking in downtown Monrovia. The photos of their lattes looked enticing, so I went with a blueberry latte ($5/50 for 12 oz) after reading about how they make their blueberry syrup in-house. I was pretty intrigued and expected to taste a light subtle blueberry flavor, but unfortunately this flavor combination was not for me. The blueberry was super sour - almost to the point of bitter and artificial tasting, so when drinking it with the coffee, the two flavors did not mesh well together. Was only able to drink a few sips, but it might have been my palate? Their pistachio latte was better tasting - had this hot, and I could taste a hint of pistachio with the latte. This was $6.50 for their 16 oz, which is a little on the pricey side. I don't know if I'd come back. Had my friend try that blueberry latte and he agreed that the flavor combination wasn't too good. Maybe we went on an off day? read more

The hideout is a cute hole in the wall coffee window that tends to attract lines. From what I could see only two people were working, so please come with your patience. The pistachio latte was exceptional and lightly sweetened 5/5. The vanilla latte was good but probably wouldn't return for 4/5. There's a lot of parking in the area, but it can be busy . read more

Nice concept coffee with just a window behind Açaí bar shop. They have some basic coffees and drinks along with premium lattes and premium matcha drinks.

They have a killer matcha! Tried it with the cold foam but was told the blueberry was the most popular. Hubby has tried the cortado. He would recommend. In the past Ive also tried pistachio latte which had actual little piece of pistachio.

Would def stop by again on our way to take our daughter to library park. read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Cute new place located on the north side of Acai Bar. You can tell the owner placed a lot of attention to details, matching the Hideout Coffee sign to the other shops on that side of the street. The drink menu is simple, elegant and easy to read. They have both coffee and matcha drinks. We ordered the salted matcha cream top and pistachio latte. I love trying new coffee and tea places, but sometimes, they feel repetitive or watered down. At Hideout Coffee, it feels like they take the time to bring quality ingredients. You can truly taste the matcha in the drink.. it's very concentrated which I appreciate. Also earthy and creamy. We ordered the pistachio latte, half sweet..and there are actual bits and pieces of pistachio! YUM. A friendly owner who says new drinks/flavors are in the making and I'm excited to try when it hits the menu! read more

Unfortunately the coffee here didn't live up to the hype. Lots of people in line waiting for their drinks, took a while to make. Workers decently friendly which is fine but the drinks are what matter. Both drinks did not taste good at all, the blueberry latte or the lavender. Both were very very bitter and undrinkable. Coffee was either overbrewed or too strong. Wish I had better things to say about this place. read more

This place is a cute addition to the downtown! If there hadn't been a balloon tower, I would have driven past it. I got there around 8 am and had to wait in a crowd of people. The employee consistently saw me and didn't say hello or anything. It took 11 minutes for me to order. I only saw one employee working, so I understood why it took a bit. I got a large vanilla latte. Once I tasted it, there was barely any vanilla flavor. It was super strong. It's a cute place, so if I'm ever in town I would be happy to drop by and try something else! read more

Cute new coffee shop in the heart of downtown Monrovia. The address says it's on Myrtle but the storefront is actually on the side of the building on Lime St right across from the Public Library. I like the concept of a grab and go coffee shop for those busy workers. There are benches across the street to take in the sights and sip your drink. I ordered the Chai Cream Top and turned it into a dirty chai. The drink is good but the pricing leaves a lot to be desired. I paid $10.47 (see picture below) and this is the most I've paid for a "specialty" coffee. Looks like I was also charged for the type of milk I used (regular whole) and the espresso shot since I asked for it to be dirty. With the pricing, I'd probably only come back once in a while, if I'm in the area or showing guests around - instead of making it my go to when I want coffee. I'm also a small business owner and completely understand the up-charge for every item but $10+ for this size is a lot. Overall experience: good, staff was kind, drink is good but for $10+ I'd rethink my choice of coming back read more
