    This place was average for me... I liked that it opened late... it had a very hipster feel to it.. however the taste in food was very so-so.... thus, the 3 star rating... if the food had tasted better, I would've been satisfied with a 5 star rating... but the food was bland.

    Cute brunch spot. Came on a Sunday mid-afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. We enjoyed our food but I think it's a lil pricey for the taste. We got the following and they were okay not something I'd crave again and come back for more. The hojicha latte was tasty and refreshing. Kickin chicken toast Plain waffles Hojicha latte iced

    I took my mom here for a Mother's Day brunch and my birthday celebration because it falls around the same time every year. I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

    This place is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking, which is definitely convenient. That said, the food was on the pricey side-both the salad and chicken dishes were close to $20 each. At that price point, we expected better quality and were left a bit disappointed. Grilled Chicken Salad (4.2/5): The chicken was served cold, and the dressing tasted exactly like Kewpie Roasted Sesame dressing straight from the bottle. It was decent, but nothing stood out. Popcorn Chicken (4/5): The chicken was tender but lacked flavor and wasn't crispy at all. It also came with the same salad as the grilled chicken salad, which felt repetitive. Coco Matcha (3.5/5): The matcha was very grainy, bitter, and astringent. The coconut water seemed to be from a bottled product and had very little flavor. I was expecting something sweet, refreshing, and smooth, but it ended up being the opposite. On the positive side, the service was excellent and the food came out quickly. Overall, while the service was great, the food didn't justify the price for us, and we probably won't be coming back.

    I had a magical, memorable experience at Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights). I ordered the Boba Bear Set ($8.50). It's a brown sugar milk tea with caramel foam with a floating frozen milk tea bear. ADORABLE!! The set even includes two house-made cookies. WOW! TASTY!! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) on Wednesday (around 10:21AM). Parking is very easy. The lot is big. However, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is very hidden. It has no visibility from the street! Staff is very professional and welcoming. Staff politely and cheerfully answered all my questions. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. For example, the location does not have a paper menu; all the menus are accessed via QR Code. Fortunately, Staff let me borrow their iPad which allowed me to see the menu on a larger screen. When I'd arrived, Staff asked if I was dine-in or to-go. I was immediately seated. When I'd inquired about the boba. Staff honestly told me that they needed 15 additional minutes to prepare the boba. I brightly waited. All in all, after the 15 minute wait, the drink took an additional 10 minutes before being ready. As mentioned, I ordered the Boba Bear Set ($8.50). CUTE!!! It's a very aesthetic and memorable presentation. The boba pearls came perfect; they're bouncy, perky, and playful. The brown sugar milk tea mixed with the caramel foam tasted honey-like. It's very TASTY! My biggest nitpick is that the amount felt tiny. Still, it's a wonderful memory that I'm so happy to experience! On ambiance, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is comfortable and clean. There's about 13 interior tables, and there's six patio tables. The music is slow-tempo, and the tall ceiling made it feel spacious. In addition, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) has utility. There's customer internet with password; details are available on the QR code menu. There's also about four electrical outlets. I also appreciated the self-service water station. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) felt very hidden yet well-maintained. It's a lovely spot. Overall, I had a magical, memorable experience. I discovered AMAZING milk tea and many precious memories. If searching for someplace special, I happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5

    成年人的世界裡,一半理解,一半釋然,慢慢自愈, 悄悄成長~ Hide out ,這一家在我們東區已經開了好幾年的小店,我也是他們的主顧很久了,每次來這邊都很喜歡他們溫馨浪漫的氣氛,就很像當初在台灣上班的時候東區小巷裡的小店一樣,他家的飲料好喝,餐點非常好吃,連甜點都做得很漂亮,是一家很值得過來探訪

    Left feeling extremely confused. We ordered two Wafflewiches with the cheese on the side, but only one was brought out. We waited about 15 minutes, thinking the second order was just running behind. Since we were trying to be patient and enjoy our time, we ended up splitting the one sandwich we received. The restaurant wasn't busy, but we had a hard time getting our waiter's attention. Unfortunately, we never found out what happened to the second order and ended up leaving still confused. At least we had six tater tots to split three each, really yum tho :)

    super delicious food, i recommend the sautéed chicken plate!! very well seasoned and filling. the staff was really friendly and their to-go service is quick.

    Waffle plate

    This was a cute spot for a lunch date. We got seated rather quickly for 2 people in the late afternoon, probably 1:30 pm? The interior decor was cute and cozy. large group sizes might not be as comfy inside, I think the largest comfortably could be 6. They have outdoor seating which is nice and could potentially fit a group of 6 there, too. Waiter was friendly and helpful and accommodated our needs when they came up. Onto the food~ We ordered the wagyu with fries, the berry waffle plate and the grilled chicken salad to share between the two of us. The portions were decent--it was enough for the two of us who were on empty stomachs. The meat is cooked to your preference for the wagyu as well as the egg. it was seasoned nicely and came with the chimchurri sauce. It was a little chewy but still tasted good. The grilled chicken salad was good, portion was rather small to share between two people but it still worked out. I liked the flavoring but I feel like the meat cuts could've been bigger. The berry waffle plate was a nice dish to share. It came with ice cream and egg custard. Great closing to our meal. For drinks--I ordered a cappuccino which was average. They provide you a liter of water for you to refill, which is nice! Parking is pretty easy. This place is inside the plaza and was fairly easy to find, too. Overall I think the food is decent, price wasn't too bad but the portions were quite small. I'd like to come back to try other things, too.

    Rose Latte

    This cute cafe is tucked away in a plaza, so you need to park and walk to find it. I tried the Rose Latte, which was tasty with a slightly bitter flavor, it actually smell like roses. I also had the Coco Waffle, the coco was well balanced and not overpowering making it enjoyable. Decaf was not available. Prices are a bit high, but that's understandable these days. The atmosphere is relaxing with soft music and and a very pleasant vibe. It's in a predominantly Asian area, if that's helpful.

    Hide Out Café is a cozy Asian-fusion spot known for its chill vibes, friendly service, and surprisingly creative drinks and dishes. In my visit, I treated myself to the café's adorable Boba Bear Set. A frozen milk tea bear served with a house-made cookie, plus an Osmanthus latte this latte was heart warming and delicious. For food I started with their fresh avocado dip and homemade tortilla chips, then enjoyed a basil-sautéed chicken with rice and salad for my main. To top it all off: churro and ice cream for dessert. Which had a house made whipped cream! If you're into cute drinks and comforting, tasty eats, this place offers a little escape from the everyday. Can't wait to go back for seconds and thirds! Tips: Lots of parking if you pull all the way around to the back lot where there is a parking structure!

    I have only tried the drinks here. The interior is really cute. There are not a wide variety of options that I can have here being a diabetic but I came back ti get my friend a hot rose latte and a lavender latte. Service was great and very beautiful presentation with the hot coffee.

    Hide Out Cafe is super cute and has the sweetest customer service -- everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the second we walked in! We ordered the Chimi Wagyu & Frites, and it was delicious -- tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the crispy fries. The Deep Fried Platter was a fun mix of popcorn chicken, onion rings, tenders, and mozzarella sticks -- great for sharing and super satisfying. For dessert, the Banana Nutella Waffle was a winner. Warm, fluffy, and topped just right. We also tried their Boba Bear set and Gummy Bear, which added such a cute, playful touch to the whole experience. Overall, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back with friends. Cozy vibe, yummy food, and genuinely kind staff -- what more can you ask for?

I commented on their Grand Opening instagram post, which contained AI-generated art. My comment was deleted and once I pointed that out, I was blocked shortly after this, within minutes. Now I get that businesses can do as they desire, however, this instantly repulsed me because it feels like they don't care about their community. Additionally, it reflects on them as a business in which they handle criticism, something that is inevitable when you serve the community. (They turned off the comments, as well.) They unblocked me to send me a message the following day, which I included in this review. Go here if you are looking for coffee close to you, but if you care about the full picture such as ethical labor practices, customer service, usage of AI, and attention to detail, I'm not sure if this is the right place for you. Specialty drinks are not cheap, and I'm thankful that Outpost showed me their true colors before I spent even more money here. They reminded me that there are other small family-owned businesses out there who also spend 100+ hour workweeks and don't treat people like this.

    There are so many tea and boba shops opening now...startups or from Asia, and honestly most of them…read moreare disappointing. Some of the most popular and hyped-up shops have weak tea flavors, yet their wait times and sales are through the roof. Maybe it's placebo, maybe it's the hype...and today, I was invited to try ChaHalo's new Lychee Series, and these are my honest thoughts. (Also the shop is in a busy parking lot with lots of restaurants, stores, and grocery. The shop has very cushy chairs!) I tried all of the lychee drinks at 100% sweetness and tasted them immediately, as the ice started to settle, and again after the ice completely melted and am impressed that the flavors held up through each stage. I'd get them again except for the smoothie. Lychee Oolong Milk Tea: This was my favorite. It's milky with a pleasant sweetness, but neither the milk nor sweetness overpowers the oolong tea or lychee - the flavors were harmonious. The lychee adds just a tiny bit of tartness, while the oolong is fragrant without being too strong and they create a buttery flavor. Lychee Smoothie: This one was my least favorite, but mostly because I'm just not a huge smoothie person unless there's some creaminess to it. The smoothie also melts a little too quickly for my preference. There was a generous amount of house made lychee jelly, and I really liked it. The jelly didn't taste watered down at all. Every sip was smooth and pleasant, and the jelly added both a nice texture and an extra layer of lychee flavor. Lychee Jasmine Lemon Tea: This had a really nice sweetness, and again, the flavors worked well together. The jasmine tea was prominent, while the lemon was mild and added a pleasant fragrance without making the drink too sour. It also wasn't bitter, very light and refreshing. I want to point out: I actually hate the flavor of canned lychee. I love fresh lychee fruit, but canned lychee has a very distinct flavor that I personally don't enjoy. Canned lychee is used at probably almost every boba shop, so it's something to be mindful of when ordering lychee drinks. You should expect that distinct canned-lychee flavor rather than fresh lychee but depends on how the shop uses it. (same with longan) I think ChaHalo used it well. The lychee flavor was noticeable without completely taking over the tea, and the drinks continued to taste good even as the ice melted.

Most times I visited, I had absolutely no wait at all, although I heard that during peak hours it gets pretty busy due to how busy the plaza is. My wife and I visited during lunch on a weekend and it was no wait whatsoever. Easily placed our orders and it was about a 5-10 minute wait for our drinks, very nice overall. Staff is friendly and quick which is always nice to see for a tea shop. They have plenty of options to go around, usually they'll have a sample for you to try which is nice if you can't decide on your drink choice. I absolutely love the mango or lemon condensed milk series, it's a mix of yakult style drinks on top of a bit more of a gushy feeling when you're sipping. Mix that with a bit of kick and you have the perfect drink for a hot day. Absolutely recommend trying it. Overall, a well maintained shop, although can get really packed during the peak hours, it's absolutely worth checking their store out. Very high quality drinks, consistent across all San Chen locations and definitely my choice of tea shop whenever my wife and I are in the area.
