Great food, nice atmosphere and joyful service. It's nice to have a great place so close.

Love it! It is truly hidden, but worth looking for. Wonderful breakfast, I usually order a soft scramble with vegetables. Their fried rice is beyond compare. I don't like rice...white or brown. Their fried rice comes with a tiny sauce that has a LOT of flavor. I've also eaten lunch there. Their sandwiches are delicious. I can't believe I haven't left a review before now... read more

LocoMoco with fried rice every time!!! Banana pancakes are incredible also. You pretty much can't go wrong with any choices here. All delicious. Great service also. Outdoor patio or indoor. read more

Came across this place in Yelp - finally got to try it over the weekend and was a bit disappointed. I was excited to order the chicken and waffles but when I took my first bite of the chicken, it was bland. It was missing a lot of flavor! I took my left over home and shared it with my brothers and cousin and they all had the same comment. I am definitely going to cafe Amri if I want chicken and waffles. Service was great and the place is easy to find but not sure if I'll be coming back here when I have other options to better breakfast / brunch places like Waypoint, Cafe Amri, Mrs Olsons or cafe nouveau. read more

Came here last minute for chocolate covered strawberries for valentines day and they made my order immediately. I had a naughty comment that I added and they accommodated me professionally. Seems like a mom and pop store. It was adorable. Will come again for a sweet treat! read more

Friendly staff. Speedy service. Delicious food. Never disappoints!! Must try the Loco Moco supreme and their fresh cinnamon roll!

The food was delicious and service was great. It really is hidden but worth finding. I will be back.

The food is really good. This restaurant serves rice and that pretty cool. I guess you can say it has an island infuse to it.

A true Ventura County gem. This family run breakfast cafe just off the Cam Springs Rd exit is a local favorite for its off-the-chart delicious home cooked dishes. If you haven't had the fried chicken here, we'll... you just haven't lived. The waffles are second to none. Big potions. Friendly staff makes everyday feel like you're a favorite member of the family on a special occasion when it's really just breakfast or lunch and a regular day. read more

Small and quaint. Only three people there on a Thursday at 9:30 a.m. so no wait and the food came fast. Waitress said it gets very busy on the weekends. I got the scrambled eggs with diced ham and my guest got the salmon eggs Benedict. I gave it 4 stars because I want to visit again and have another go at it - read more

The service here was not great. We were waiting a while for a table for two. After about 45 minutes and seeing that other parties of two who arrived after us were being seated, we checked back in with the hostess. It appears as if we were skipped on their list, as 5 other parties written after us were crossed off and seated before us. After inquiring about this, we were quickly seated. However it took about 15 minutes for someone to take our drinks orders. The food was subpar when compared to other restaurants in the area - a bit dry and did not have a ton of flavor. read more

Our favorite go to for breakfast. The Loco Moco is delicious and very filling. Their fried chicken and waffles is also delicious and a big serving of chicken! Spam and eggs is as good as home. Never had a bad meal or experience at Hidden Cafe. Cinnamon rolls are the best. read more

This cafe is located right off the freeway, but in a hidden plaza among a residential community. Their store sign isn't the most visible. Arrived about noon on a Saturday and the place was still busy with people coming and going. However, I was quickly seated. Ordered the Harvest Scramble and it was loaded with fresh veggies and I asked for the cubed potatoes, which were savory. The meal wasn't greasy and didn't leave a heavy after-feel. I also had a few bites of the sausage, eggs, and fried rice. The fried rice was pretty good, not oily either. Eggs and sausage were standard. Lots of vegetarian options. Prices were fair, restrooms were clean, service was good, I'd happily come back again when in the area. read more

Recently visited for the first time, should have come sooner. Right off of Camarillo Springs exit, man is it tucked away. If it wasn't for Yelp we would never have even known it was there. Went with a group of 6 so we tried several things. -Corned beef hash was great, everyone that sampled it said they would definitely order it again. -Chili verde was amazing. I will say the flavor was great, not a ton of meat here so that was the only downfall. -Loco Moco/ Deluxe LM were both good. They weren't listed on the menu but I had seen other reviewers post about it so we asked. They feature on weekends but offer it all the time. -Ham steak was good as well and a large generous portion. Overall we were very happy with our experience here. Food was good, came hot, and on time. Prices weren't crazy either. This is a small little treasure to find hidden away in a little corner of Camarillo. read more

Yay, another successful visit at a restaurant from my Bookmark List, check check. I can understand how someone who isn't from the area can easily get lost, because yes, this restaurant doesn't have a huge sign that says Hidden Cafe, (hence the name, lol). It's located in a small shopping center surrounded by gated communities, as long as you follow the directions exactly-you'll find this HIDDEN gem. Here's what was ordered: The House Omelet: very flavorful and moist, which is pretty hard to do at many other places. One of the best omelette ever tasted, which consisted of bacon, cheese, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, avocado and onions. Most places over cook their omelettes, here they are cooked perfectly. $9.75 Rib Eye with Eggs: My Mouth-watering Medium Rare Rib Eye, was cooked perfectly with such a juicy pink center. The side of fried rice was very filling which also had pieces of ham, sausage and egg in it. My scrambled (2) eggs was a good amount as a side. This also came with a choice of pancakes, toast or fruit. I chose whole wheat toast and it was already buttered, good stuff. I really enjoyed the fried rice, it reminding me of being back in Hawaii where it's common to have rice for breakfast. MHmmMm, good filling dish for $15.00. Coffee is $2.95/cup. My husband and I were lucky enough to come in and have the restaurant to ourselves. Our server Derek was very attentive and provided great customer. Will we return?! Yes, I need to try their famous Fried Chicken and Waffles! read more

Not sure what all the hype is about. I would call it an "okay" place. It's definitely was below my expectations in appearance (worn and mismatched chairs and tables and not in a cool way), inside seating was so filled with cooking smoke and unventilated that I chose to sit outside with tons of flies. In actuality it's a local place, open from 7am-2pm, in a very casual in a small strip mall. It has an Hawaiian flair, with options like breakfast with mixed fried rice and spam. What did I get? Chili verde with 2 eggs and fried rice. Decent, but nothing to write home about. My dining partner's sandwich was accompanied with fruit salad had to be 3-4 days old; watermelon was peely and transleucent, and the strawberries were very worn. Wouldn't go again unless blindfolded. read more

As I'm exiting the freeway... Me: Where is it? Friend: This looks like a residential area. Me: Oh, wait! I see some buildings. Friend: Okay, where is it? Me: Oh, the GPS says we are close. Oh, there it is! Man, it really is hidden! LOL I love finding hole-in-the-wall places. I guess it's good that it's in a hidden place. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. LOL Good thing because it's good secret so only people in-the-know know. Bad thing because after this review it won't be a secret anymore. LOL The parking lot wasn't full but I was here on weekday morning. I really wonder how it gets on the weekends. Anyways, they do offer outdoor seating and they do have a specials board so check that out too. I had the chicken and waffles for a little over $10. OMG! It's totally worth your money. 4 pieces of chicken and 4 waffle squares - Baller on a budget status! I loved how crispy the waffle was and I spread butter and drizzled syrup all over it. The chicken was good but not the best I've ever tasted. I pulled pieces of it and put it on top of my waffle with some rooster sauce. :) Yum! the combination of sweet, savory, and spicy just put the dish over the top for me! And this dish makes it every reason to come back to this place. Also, the service is awesome too! The staff is very welcoming and personable. There are a lot of items on the menu I want to come back and try, especially since they really have generous portions. As a cheap ass, I'm so glad this place is so affordable too. Too bad they are only open for breakfast and lunch. LOL :) read more

My so. Took me out for early Mother's Day celebration. Went to Camarillo airport restaurant - it was closed due to power issues in restaurant. WS disappointed because we had planned this brunch for weeks. So our son gets on google and finds a few 5 star places in Camarillo - don is from Valencia and I'm from Simi. We chose Hidden Cafe - it really is hidden. I Had the chili Verdi breakfast. SO GOOD. will go back. We talked about how good their food was - even Better than at airport. I guess it was a lucky day. read more

I've been here a few times and the food is spectacular! Chicken and waffles for breakfast twice, means they're really good! The staff is super friendly and always accommodating! I've also had their seared ahi tuna salad which is fresh and tasty. I am looking forward to coming here for their weekly specials; meatloaf is on the top of my list! See you again soon, Hidden Café! read more

Eh. Somewhere between A-OK, and maybe I'll pass. This sucks too, because all the raving about the place. I'm just wondering if I just had a bad visit. I came in hungry! Needless to say, the place is "hidden". But Siri helped me. Anywho, after reading numerous yelp reviews, I tried this spot and went with the House Omelette. Sounded delicious, and again...I was super hungry. There was only two or three other tables being served. It was about 11:45am on a Wednesday. Other reviews adequately describe the decor and environment. Small, "hole-in-the-wall." Service was standard. No name tags or introductions, so I cannot rate individual staff by name. Back to the food... I attached a picture of my omelette. Compared to other pictures of this item, mine came out a bit different. First the avocado on top was completely smashed. And the rest of the omelette was cold and dry. I was able to pick up the omelette from the end and eat it like a sandwich. I was very disappointed and by its taste and presentation, I truly believe I was served an old omelette that had been sitting there. Have you ever tasted an overly cooked fried egg? That's what it tasted like :( I requested sides of salsa twice to try and freshen the omelette and bring it back to life. I really hate giving this place a bad review, but I have to keep it real and be fair/honest to my experience. I was really hoping this visit would have delivered a winning new breakfast spot read more

Hidden Cafe is a real gem. Found this place once we moved to the neighbor and boy are we glad we found it, so lucky to have a great little spot like this down the street from our house :). Service: 5 Stars- they keep this restaurant well staffed, for being such a little place they really have it staffed well and keep it moving. All of the servers we've had here are friendly and prompt. Also love the manager/owners here they are friendly and welcoming always. Price: pretty good for the quantity and quality of the food your getting. I'd say for 2 people your looking at $20-25 bucks but again I feel it's totally worth it. Food: great 5 star breakfast and lunch items! I have yet to try a dish I didn't like. Everything here is tasty, filling, and unique. Recommendations: -For breakfast on the weekends you have to try their Hawaiian style Loco Moco! It's one of the best dishes I've ever had! Trust me you just have to try it. -another great breakfast special they have is their Portuguese sausage with rice & eggs, makes me feel like I'm back in Hawaiian! :) -my man loves their chicken and waffles, waffles are crunchy outside with soft inside, very tasty!!!! Lunch: give their chorizo/beef burger a try, great flavor. All in all this place is great id highly recommend it! read more

Yes, it is hard to find. Tucked away in a place I would not have expected. They have a secret menu. I saw the yelp review and saw they had loco Moco online. I ordered their deluxe loco Moco that comes with spam and Portuguese Sausage. Great service. She checked on us regularly. read more

Their Loco Moco is delicious as are their omelets! Service is ok. Some days service is great, other days, not so much.

I'm fan-girliing over here! I heard about this place from friends and was intrigued. I imagined a small rustic restaurant tucked away behind some palm trees by the golf course so I was surprised that it was actually in a strip mall. But don't let this fool you- once you're inside viewing the menu and realizing there are some island favorites on the there you pretty much forget the strip mall or Camarillo or that you're on the mainland. This is serious Ono Grindz-so good! The family is from Guam but they have the Portuguese sausage & eggs, loco moco, kahlua pork etc. All served with that delicious Guamanian Finadene sauce IYKYK. The couple next to us told us they were just there the day before and had to come back, and might actually come back for lunch the next day. Luckily, on the way out our server told us they were closed on Mondays (well, unlucky for us actually). But hubby went back again on Tuesday with his work buddy Agghhh - can't wait to go back! read more

Hidden Cafe - Portuguese sausage, rice & eggs w pancakes. You can get it with fried rice too! - New American Near Me - Camarillo, California

The homemade cinnamon roll was absolutely amazing!!!! By far one of the best ever. Philly cheesesteak was good, could have actually used some cheese, I couldn't find any. BUT...the fries were really good. The biscuits and gravy were really good as well. Coffee was strong and tasted like it had been sitting on warm for a while. We were in after noon, so it was probably sitting a bit. Would have given five stars, but the hostess was about as welcoming as a wet mop. No personality or listening skills, and it was a big effort for her to walk across the restaurant to come and seat us. The person at the front desk was rude and short with us, and when she realized how rude she had been, tried to make up for it by asking how our day was.....little to little to late. Thankfully our server was a doll, with a great personality, and made our dining experience delightful. read more

You're not cool until you buy the garlic pepper sauce. We stopped here on our way home from a wedding in Camarillo. Cutest little cafe on a sunny day! Cousin had chicken and waffles, friend and I had sausage patty and eggs, and hubby had Portuguese sausage. Loved the Portuguese sausage and I ordered a side of orange cranberry pancakes. Lovely place and yummy food! read more
