It was very busy. The drink menu is interesting. We ordered the following; - Banana Pudding Latte 5/5 - Banana cream Matcha with oat milk 5/5 With almond toffee toppings No additional charge for milk substitute. - Tropical Mango 3/5 First kick is tangy. It was unexpected then the mango flavor hits and it gives balance. It also have coconut, a layer of mango pieces that not particularly too sweet.The base is cake.

Here's some fast details: Parking: You can purchase a $5 day pass or $30 annual adventure pass to cover parking. The National Forest Adventure annual pass covers several national parks in the area. There is a large parking lot at the cafe/observatory. The parking lot is the same for both. Location: The cafe is located adjacent to Mt Wilson observatory. There is covered picnic seating as well as a nice bathroom. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs and tour tickets to the observatory. The tour last ~2 hours and is $20 for adults. Food: This is a walk up restaurant with self seating at picnic tables. Variety of easy food options available such as hot dogs, sandwiches, granola bars, ice cream and drinks. We tried the hotdogs which were filling and tasted great after a hot hike. There is also a fountain to refill water bottles next to the cafe.

The food offerings were the same as what you'd find at a high school footballl game (hot dogs,…read morehamburgers, and soda cans). Anywhere else, this food would be underwhelming. But after a day of hiking and driving, this place hits! I got the chili cheese dog--that hit me in all the right places. And kept me satisfied, during the 4-mile hike (Switzer Falls) I did after. Views are also amazing!

Friendly staff, clean and nice decor With a decent selection on the menu. 2 of us ate - 1 regular burrito and 1 regular breakfast plate. Burrito was a filling portion to the point i was 'almost full'. Breakfast plate was decent, the one minus I had was the potatoes came out cold. I mentioned it when they came back around for the "how is everything" ask and they brought out a brand new plate of hot hot hot potatoes. Great service. Would recommend it and would again.

Nothing bad or rude, just not particularly warm. That said, we keep coming back! It's usually pretty busy but somehow never too difficult to find a table. It's become our go-to brunch spot. The portions are generous, the food is consistently great, and it's a really easy place to bring family and kids. Definitely a neighborhood favorite! One thing to note: it can get pretty loud inside when it's busy, mostly due to the acoustics of the room. So if you're looking for somewhere quiet for an intimate conversation, this probably isn't it. If you can snag a table outside, though, that helps a lot.

(FYI - look for the green umbrella on the sidewalk.) Hideout Coffee is a walkup spot serving up coffee & tea-based drinks and you can even add a specialty cream top. They also sell cookies from The Dough. Daniel was the barista on duty and he was an absolute delight. I've been meaning to try a Pistachio Latte and spied it on the menu, so I requested one with almond milk. I enjoyed the tunes coming from the speaker in the umbrella while I waited. A few minutes later, I had my beverage and was on my way. The latte was nice & creamy. I could taste the nuttiness from the pistachios & the richness of the roast. There was a generous amount of pistachio pieces in the drink. I'm not sure if all pistachio lattes are served this was but that's how they do it here. If I'm in the area, I'll give something else a try. *Free street parking

Haha, was it just me, because I thought it was a fancy wealth management firm because of their name? The look of historic Monrovia may have done the visual trickery for me. Nonetheless, I am so 1000% happier that it is not a wealth management firm, and it is an amazing food and coffee spot in the heart of Monrovia! My bestie recommended this place to meet up to do some teleworking, and it's the perfect place to do so. They have lots of tables and outlets to cowork in the place, and they are spaced pretty far apart, so you can have your own conversation without hearing the other table. Their WiFi speed was fast, too! They also have an awesome menu with specialty drinks and food items like sandwiches, toasts, and salads. Plus, they have a beautiful display case to showcase their pastries. I got a Matcha Latte and their Salmon Lox Bagel Sandwich $14. They really packed the salmon and cream cheese filling in my sandwich, too! Their prices are normal for the area: 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches were close to $60 with tip. The staff are all so friendly and were busy making all the drinks, but also looked so happy working there together! They were lovely to interact with and went around to clean our table, and make sure we were doing okay. I would definitely come back here to telework and enjoy more of their delicious drinks and sandwiches!

If you visit, I also highly recommend the Goki Mocha, made with rich Oaxacan chocolate. It's been my favorite drink there for years. The service is always wonderful, and you can tell this place is built with so much love and heart. The family is incredibly kind, and I love supporting their business.

When I asked if it was possible to make the matcha half sweet, it felt like my request was strange. That didn't bother me at first until we received our order. We sat down and she brought our drinks over to us. My friend's drink was served in a white coffee cup, while mine came in a clear plastic cup. At first glance, it looked like mine was iced and hers was hot even though we both ordered iced. Naturally, my friend said "Oh I ordered iced". She responded with "it is iced" and walked away. The whole interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. It made us want to leave and drink our drinks elsewhere. On top of that, the drinks themselves tasted like mostly milk with just a hint of matcha, and mostly milk with a hint of turmeric. Quite disappointed in both the service and drinks. 2 stars for location, it is walking distance from the Lagree class we came from but most likely would not come back.
