Not sure what the hype about this coffee shop is, it's definitely cute by the train station but coffee was mediocre. I got the pumpkin spiced latte and it was just ok. The cold brew with cold foam was bad, almost tasteless. The cold foam should be a little sweet and salty to add flavor to the drinks but it was just flat. Service was quick we got our drinks quickly.
Really good flat white and cortoda.This is such a nice coffee place with ample seating outside. Friendly service we'd definitely come back
I love it, kids love it. Super calm area where you can study, read, work. Service is always fast and you never typically wait longer than a few minutes for your drinks. I am a big vanilla person and their house made vanilla syrup is delicious. Its shaded outside and gated so my son could run around a bit. its quiet for a Monday morning. Definitely worth the stop.
I'm not really sure what all the hype is about when it comes to this coffee shop because I did not love it at all. First of all the line is out the door and it takes about 30 minutes to order your coffee. There aren't any menus throughout along the way and it's really hard to determine what is actually on their menu until you get inside of the coffee shop because most of their drinks on Yelp and Instagram are seasonal. When I was finally able to order, I ordered two different coffees because I wasn't sure what I was going to like given the coffee shop states all of their syrups are made in house. I think that's why the coffee didn't have any flavor and I didn't like it. The staff was nice enough to remake my drink, but even the second drink tasted like it didn't have any syrup in it and tasted like a regular latte. There is very limited seating inside of the coffee shop, merch is $30+ and you should be prepared for long waits.
A charming coffee shop located in my favorite area of San Juan Capistrano! The dirty chai was flavorful and a little on the sweeter side, but it was the perfect refreshing drink for a hot day. We also tried the bagel bomb, which was filled with cream cheese and so yummy, especially when heated up. The almond croissant was pretty standard, but the bagel bomb was by far the favorite. The barista was very friendly, and our orders came out quickly despite it being slightly crowded. They had plenty of indoor seating, I would definitely come back for another coffee run!
A must once you step off the train! Located across the train tracks, this super cute coffee shop is a gem. You'll see many locals sitting at the tables working on their computers. There is usually a line, especially during morning hours, but so worth it! I had the Strawberry Latte! So good! And don't forget a BAGEL BOMB! Omgosh! The bacon, cheese and sour cream are delicious! Just grab a few napkins because the cream cheese goes everywhere!
The location alone is ADORABLE, almost feels like you're walking into grandmas house. I been here multiple times and it's always delicious! I experiment with new flavors each time as they always add new seasonal flavors--super fun! This time I ordered the seasonal iced Strawberry latte with strawberry cold foam and I could tell it was fresh, not artificial. One call out, every time I've gone the outdoor seating has been covered with leaves, twigs, bugs. I wish the seating area was a tad cleaner to enjoy sitting there, maybe with a laptop and have no fear a spider nest was nearby, jaja.
I'm really glad I decided to give Hidden House Coffee another shot. My first visit didn't exactly leave me eager to come back, but the second time around completely changed my perspective, I finally see what all the buzz is about. The coffee was genuinely delicious, and I highly recommend adding the cold foam cream on top it takes the drink to another level. The shop itself is cute with some seating, though it's also a great grab-and-go spot. Located near the train tracks in downtown San Juan Capistrano, it's perfectly situated for a little stroll. I'd suggest grabbing your coffee and walking around the nearby shops to really enjoy the area. Overall, definitely worth a revisit if your first experience didn't wow you, this place redeemed itself for me.
I can't really fault this place. It's in a fantastic location right next to the train station and other restaurants in the area. We tried out the seasonal strawberry cold foam with their cold brew and I have to say it's pretty good! The girl behind the counter also recommended the strawberry matcha, but that's probably something I'll try another time. This place does get busy, but we were lucky and got in before a rush of people started flocking in.
I've been to this coffee shop in the Los Rios area a couple of times now and have always enjoyed their drinks! Tried out their seasonal strawberry cold foam with a cold brew and I really liked it. The cold brew was strong and the foam was delicious with a good strawberry flavor but it was not too sweet. The shop is a cozy shack style with some seating inside but plenty more in the patio. Definitely a good place to enjoy some coffee and vibes.
Ordered a hibiscus elderflower tea which was light and refreshing on a warm Saturday afternoon Be prepared for a wait if you're here on a Saturday afternoon. The line luckily went by quick for us but we with they had the menu posted outside as well so that we could see ahead of time as the inside area is quite small.
Super cute coffee shop. Arrived early enough to beat the morning rush. By the time we left, the line was outside the door. Plenty of outdoor seating but limited seating inside. Order Strawberry match and hot coffee. Both delicious. The bagel bomb was so flavorful. Looking forward to visiting again.
Ambiance: quaint, cute, tucked away vibe Service: on point, considering how long the line was - out the door. Price: on par with every speciality coffee shop in OC scene: Taste: 5/5 - at 50% sweetness, the pistachio latte was perfectly balanced. You can smell the faint scent of pistachio and it was not too sweet. Parking: you have 4 options, and they do not validate. Hours: they close at 5pm, so no late evening conversations to be held here. (Will not deduct any stars bc frankly that's not their fault) Overall, one of my fave coffee spots in south county and can't wait to be back. Salud
This was such a cute cozy, tucked away cafe that had a warm and rustic atmosphere, which was perfect for slowing down and enjoying a quiet coffee moment. The cafe only has a few seats inside and outside and definitely can get crowded quickly. There is a parking structure near by for parking. There were quite a few different items to choose from; but ended up with the Pistachio Latte which was smooth, nutty, and lightly sweet. read more

Drinks were great! Iced chai with vanilla foam and strawberry matcha 8/10 Have to get the jalapeño bagel bomb 9/10 Would definitely recommend and be coming back! read more
This place is kinda hidden...and it is a house. There's a small dining room inside and the two young women working were busy. I ordered an iced latte and an iced pistachio latte. If there's a coffee special, get it! The pistachio latte was really good! I also got a chocolate chip cookie which was very good! Can't have coffee without a cookie! There's a really large yard with tables and chairs. The trees offered some really good shade. There's also a nice porch/veranda that we sat at. The breeze that wrapped around the house made it a perfect afternoon for coffee and conversation. Cako sure loved it too! She laid down which she only does at places she loves! Cako Approves! read more

House of hidden coffee sounded mysterious I expected a ninja serving me. However the stuff were friendly and very informative. The drinks I got were strong and I really woke up by the morning coming the place is not that hidden but I'll let it slidesince I didn't mind finding this place. The place is pretty clean and spacious a good chill spot. read more
This darling coffee shop is located on the historic Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano. There is plenty of outdoor seating in this tranquil, tree filled property. Coffee and food offerings are delicious. We enjoyed the banana nut bread with our lattes. This is a counter service establishment, with prompt, friendly baristas and staff. read more
Hidden House Coffee in San Juan Capistrano is a nice little stop if you're in the area and want a solid cup in a really charming setting. The vibe is probably the best part. It's cozy, scenic, and the kind of place that feels like a mini break from your day. Coffee is good and dependable, and it's a fun spot to meet a friend or sit for a bit. It can get busy, and it's not necessarily the place that'll blow your mind if you're hunting for the most life-changing latte ever but it's definitely worth a visit. Overall: a pleasant, easy going coffee vibe with great atmosphere and a reliable cup. read more

This place is in a wonderful location right next to the train tracks. It's a perfect first stop if you're stopping in for the day via train. The line went by quickly and the drinks were very yummy. We also got two pastries: chocolate croissant and jalapeño cheese. A good mix of sweet and savory. I really liked it all! There's a handful of outdoor seating so you can have a peaceful sip outside while eating a light breakfast before having your day out! read more

I'm surprised I have never been here and so happy I finally discovered it! Staff were very sweet and quick to make drinks. The place offers free WiFi and a bunch of outside seating. AC inside for when it's hot. They have an array of pastries to choose from. Reasonable pricing. I will be back here again for studying, catching up with a friend, or for a good drink! read more
My favorite iced tea in all of SJC! It's so cute in here and they have free Wi-Fi, which I love! It's a little crowded and I had to wait in line but it's fun to sit outside. I'm enjoying my early morning walk and then coming over here to chill. read more
The service was great and they were so quick to make my drink. I got an iced London fog latte with a strawberry cold foam on top. Honestly didn't taste the strawberry at all, so next time I wouldn't wasn't money on that. Otherwise, the place is so cute and the latte tasted great so I will be back! read more

My friend shared with me that this is a wonderful place with some big trees overshadowing the cafe. I was surprised because I normally don't associate too many cafes with tall trees especially in the Orange County area. As soon as I saw Hidden House Coffee, the rationale for the name clicked in my head. It is indeed a "hidden" house! It's incredibly lovely inside with some seating right next to where the barista works. More seating is found outside in the patio. There's a wide range of people groups and ages. There was a musician playing his saxophone outside of the house. I was told there is normally a long line for such places like this. My friend and I were lucky to have stood in line for the non-rush hours of this place. My friend got a sparkling expresso tonic and I got a chai latte (iced). The coffee tonic, according to my friend, is the best here because the blending of the sparkling water and expresso is done just right without it being too overpowering in flavor. For me, the chai latte, was delicious. It did not taste artificially syrupy, and drinking our drinks in the cafe was a treat! I got to pay for the space to hang and eat. God bless you all! Service was kind and quick - I know things can get busy when there's a lot of people, so thank you for the genuine effort you put into providing good sustenance for everyone! read more

Took a day trip out to San Juan Capistrano to explore and this spot had a line out all day long so had to give it a try. They have a few indoor seats and plenty of outdoor seats shaded by lots of shade from the tree with beautiful purple flowers. I got the strawberry matcha which was perfectly made with notes of strawberry and not too sweet. The hubby tried the cappuccino which he said was great as well. Staff here was so pleasant. read more
The coffee shop looked like a little house with a porch. The decor inside was super cute, but not a lot of seating. The drinks were really good, they have some fun, different drinks, which i recommend trying. The espresso tonic with cranberry and rosemary notes was different, but so good read more
A charming coffee house in a historic cottage with outdoor seating and an outdoorsy type of vibe. Friendly and fast service. I ordered the Maple Brown Sugar Latte which tasted rich, smooth, and a hint of sweetness. I also had the Chocolate Twists, which was good. read more

I wasn't planning to leave a negative review, but I want the owner to be aware. My wife and I ordered coffee about 30 minutes before closing, and the blonde employee said there were no clean cups for dine-in, only to-go, and than they were not accepting cash after certain hours. I assumed he might just be having a bad day. What bothered me more was that both employees went to the restroom one after another while I was waiting, which didn't feel very respectful to customers. The banana muffin was amazing, but the latte was almost half foam. This place has great potential to be a calm and enjoyable spot with better service. read more

Yes, there were other options

I haven't seen any food other than what is in the bakery case. A toasted bagel with cream cheese would be nice.... yum... I seems Ben has gone on walk-a-bout circumnavigating the globe.
