    Hidden Café. The name says it all. Literally, it is hidden. Hidden in a shopping center nestled on Brookhurst Ave in Anaheim. Now I have tried many hookah lounges in Orange County. Many of them! This is now one that I can cross off my list and now put on my "will be coming back again soon" list. I came earlier this evening to check it out because I had to satisfy my hookah cravings! Soon as I walked in, the sweet odor of hookah hit my nostrils. I was sat at a table and immediately ordered my new favorite flavor-Exotic Apple Doppio! Now I have tried this flavor before at another hookah lounge nearby. I was just craving this flavor very bad! I waited almost 10 minutes before I got my hookah but I am not one to complain over a few minutes, unless it was over a half hour wait! It is very spacey inside with a few couches but mostly tables all around. They have a few flat screen TV's around, which at the time were playing EDM videos, which made for a great environment. The ambience was of a mostly young crowd. Overall, the staff were very attentive with refilling me with coals whenever needed. I am a fan and will most likely be visiting again sometime soon!

    I came back and this time I brought my best friend and his lady and we had a blast. I ordered the mint tea pot and it was once again delicious. I forgot what flavor we ordered but all I remember is we got an apple and an ice tip. That darn ice tip kept falling off, I don't know if it was us or the equipment. However I strongly believe it may have been user error because we were a little buzzed when we got there. They have these light things at the tables that you're supposed to use if you need assistance. It's a great idea if.....someone that worked there was out on the floor instead of in the back. The restroom was clean which was great, cos I can't stand establishments with nasty restrooms. They honored the $1.00 off with check in. They played a mixture of EDM and hip hop all night and they kept our coals hot and burning.

    I've been coming here for years and each time, my hookah sessions have been on point. I've been to hookah lounges all over OC and LA, and this is by far my favorite. Friendly service and quality hookah each and every single time. The place is "hidden" in the corner of the plaza. Plethora of parking and free wi-fi. So let's talk hookah! I'm pretty boring and don't branch off to any crazy flavors - I typically get white peach sweet melon mint. Mmmmm fruity & minty... all sorts of wonderful tinglies. I also get an iced tip so the smoke comes out extra smooth and chilly. I always come during HH because it's half off. Everything comes out to $13 which includes tip. So why am I in love with place? Because I can smoke in peace like a loaner and I'm not judged. My coals are consistently refilled without me asking and the servers check on me to make sure everything is all good. Atmosphere, music, and people are chill. Nice place to kick back after a long work day. People come to hang out, study, or watch TV. They have like a million TVs so you can take your pick. Movie nights are every Tuesday and Sunday nights. A+ all around!

    Hookah 6/10 Atmosphere: if you like calm and mellow places (I Dont) , they place the music loud enough to where it's fun but you don't have to yell to speak to your friends, No Dj just a CD or whatever. I went on a Friday night, people came and went but it wasn't busy Bathroom: clean . Service 6/10: They were slow with checking on the coals and seeing if we needed anything

    I've been here several times and every time - it's the perfect latte - just over and over and over again!

    This little gem is tucked away in the beautiful town of San Juan Capistrano -just minutes away from the Mission... Yet so accessible from the freeway and PCH with ample parking close by. Expect a little wait at times but it's worth it - sitting there with your perfect cup Java - as if time stops for a moment for you to catch up to where you need to be... (My favorite spots are on the porch - just magical!)

    First timer ! Love the vibe love the hookah.

    Staying in Anaheim for my boos birthday. I'm a picky picky hookah daily smoker. So I found this place. I got greeted And I loved the vibe automatically. It's a REAL hookah lounge. Not a club. They have a movie playing and I enjoyed ita lot.. I ordered a chai and mint hookah perfect. Not to mention the drinks are way cheaper than sf ans they make it for you! I love everything here.

    The service is good, but after hitting the hookah a couple times the flavor died out and started tasting funky.

    People wait in line here for a reason when other lounges are empty. The atmosphere, the lively…read morecrowd, the solid hookah options, and all the food made outside with you all contribute to a good night out. When it's packed, it's PACKED so don't expect the fastest service, but everyone is so friendly. Weeknights the wait isn't as bad, but weekends be prepared to wait unless you come early. The level of smoke does get intense if you're a casual hookah goer (like myself) so if it feels like too much on a weekend, go on a weekday.

    Came here for a friends birthday. We entered through the front where we never got acknowledged…read more When the rest of our group arrived we went back to the patio/seating where we seated ourselves. It was around 6:45 on a Saturday and there were only about 2-3 other groups. To order you have to scan the QR code at your table. Its convenient because everyone can just order and pay on their own tab. The food, hookah, and cards are all ordered through this. Everything came out lightening fast. I got the chicken plate with white meat and the cinnamon tea, less sweet. The plate had plenty of food and was pretty good but not anything special. The tea was absolutely delish and I would highly recommend it. Randomly the chips off of my friends plate were one of my favorite things. I dipped it in the hummus and it was a great flavor combo. They have plenty of hookah flavors and by 8:00 pm the place was packed and you could not see through the smoke lol. Service is a little spotty if you need help. There were some helpful servers and some that were lacking. The place has 2-3 too many tables, you have to walk through a maze to try to exit because it is so cramped. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Most of our group ended up just holding our pee in! Overall the place had good vibes but there are some holes in the service. Also, Parking gets extremely crowded at night.

We got a few of the tea options and it was a great addition to the hookah. I really enjoyed the cardamom tea! Recommend to RSVP so you have a table outside!

    Came here on a Sunday night and the place was pretty empty…read more When we approached the host stand, a man was standing there with his back to us on his phone. We weren't even sure if he worked there or was just waiting. We walked past him and saw two guys (one seemed like the owner or manager) standing and talking. No acknowledgment at all. We finally asked if we could sit anywhere and were just told "yes." We sat outside and waited quite a while before anyone came to take our order. We ordered a Blue Mist hookah and it had almost no flavor -- it tasted like it had already been smoked for an hour. No one checked on us, so my husband had to get up and find the manager to ask for a replacement. We switched to Double Apple and it was the same thing: basically flavorless. We asked for water and the manager dropped off bottled water without saying anything. It's really frustrating when you're not told upfront that there's no free water. If I'm paying for a drink anyway, I would've preferred tea. Once again, we had to track down the manager to ask him to swap it out for tea. We also ordered a combo kebab platter. The presentation was nice, but the food itself was average. The meats were decent, but the hummus was pretty bad. To top it off, the guy who had been standing at the host stand (who we later realized worked there) sat at a nearby table watching videos loudly on his phone while we were eating. Super annoying and unprofessional. Overall, poor service and food that didn't really deliver. Not a place I'd rush back to.
