Unfortunately the coffee here didn't live up to the hype. Lots of people in line waiting for their drinks, took a while to make. Workers decently friendly which is fine but the drinks are what matter. Both drinks did not taste good at all, the blueberry latte or the lavender. Both were very very bitter and undrinkable. Coffee was either overbrewed or too strong. Wish I had better things to say about this place. read more

Hideout Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

This place is a cute addition to the downtown! If there hadn't been a balloon tower, I would have driven past it. I got there around 8 am and had to wait in a crowd of people. The employee consistently saw me and didn't say hello or anything. It took 11 minutes for me to order. I only saw one employee working, so I understood why it took a bit. I got a large vanilla latte. Once I tasted it, there was barely any vanilla flavor. It was super strong. It's a cute place, so if I'm ever in town I would be happy to drop by and try something else! read more

Cute new coffee shop in the heart of downtown Monrovia. The address says it's on Myrtle but the storefront is actually on the side of the building on Lime St right across from the Public Library. I like the concept of a grab and go coffee shop for those busy workers. There are benches across the street to take in the sights and sip your drink. I ordered the Chai Cream Top and turned it into a dirty chai. The drink is good but the pricing leaves a lot to be desired. I paid $10.47 (see picture below) and this is the most I've paid for a "specialty" coffee. Looks like I was also charged for the type of milk I used (regular whole) and the espresso shot since I asked for it to be dirty. With the pricing, I'd probably only come back once in a while, if I'm in the area or showing guests around - instead of making it my go to when I want coffee. I'm also a small business owner and completely understand the up-charge for every item but $10+ for this size is a lot. Overall experience: good, staff was kind, drink is good but for $10+ I'd rethink my choice of coming back read more

This is a new walk-up coffee spot in Monrovia. They serve all types of coffee, tea, and non-caffeine options as well as bakery treats. Service was friendly and attentive to the fact I was out walking my dog. It is a cute spot and super easy to grab a cup of something when walking your furry friend. There is no outside seating at the walk-up but it is directly across the street from the park. read more

Had an okay first experience but would give it another shot. The flavor of the latte was really good! However, I asked for an iced pistachio latte & got a hot one instead which I was flexible about because it was cold outside anyway. I do think the hot matcha had way too little in the cup and I apologized to my coworker when I took it out of the cup container and realized how light it was. I would go back for flavor but not sure if it's worth it for the 12 oz when it's so partially filled. The 16 oz was filled more to the top so I would recommend you order the bigger size if you stop by to try it. read more

Came to Hideout Coffee after being recommended by a friend. I have been on the lookout for a new matcha spot and this is the place to be! They have different options for their match but i went with an iced matcha with sea salt cream top (which was very yummy!) The staff was very knowledgeable about the drinks and were able to answer all my questions. Overall this is such a cute spot a literally hidden gem. I would definitely come back and try their other matcha combos :) Also they have different milk substitution options and all free of charge which i think is awesome !! read more

Hideout Coffee - Iced Matcha with Sea Salt Cream Top :) very yummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I tried their pistachio signature latte, and it came with bits of pistachio in the drink. First sip was quite pleasant. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Def worth a visit to see for yourself. This new coffee place kinda fits a niche that old town Monrovia doesn't have yet - specifically the "to-go hand-crafted coffee" niche. I read another review here that rated based on seating - which reminded me that we rate these places based on what they aim to be not what we want them to be. So you wouldn't expect a to-go coffee shop that is literally just a door in a wall, to have tables and seats right? If they end up having it that's cool, but not something that I'd take stars off for lol. read more

My experience was amazing with this place! It has the highest quality drinks and their matchas are so very delicious and are to die for! The service is also amazing! I was greeted with the nicest, kindest, and sweetest girl and she took my order with excellence! Her name was Kaylie and I would love for her to take my order again once I come back! The surrounding atmosphere and environment are also amazing! The overall vibe and decoration of the store is magnificent! Overall a 10/10 coffee/matcha spot for your future caffeine endeavors! read more

The cashier girl definitely is not pleasant lol upon reading the other reviews, our experience made sense. Idk, to me I think anyone being the face of a company/first impression should be extra nice , friendly, welcoming and maybe even a tad bit bubbly? Especially if they're the only person that the average customer interacts with. She just looked miserable and spoke to us in a non pleasant way but that makes me sad for the business owner who worked so hard to open this spot I'm sure. It's such a cute concept, a walk up coffee shop in the heart of Monrovia! Hopefully they get new staff as time goes on with a person more willing and happy to answer customers questions about the products being sold! But anywho, we got the cream top matcha latte. It's pretty delish! Just very sweet probably because it's a pretty tiny cup, I think the regular matcha would've been perfect for me so I'll be excited to go back and see how this place takes all the feedback . :) read more

I don't even know where to start!!! The signature lattes are all delicious but I loved the pistachio and blueberry matcha one the most! It's a cute little coffee window (gives me Europe wine window vibes!). The area has a lot of parking and it's next to the sister restaurant, which is Acai Bar. The quality of my matcha was superb. That cream top.... Is out of control!!!! Nothing is better than supporting a small business, especially when it's this good it's hard not to! Can't wait to come back. Great addition to the neighborhood with good service. Welcome Hideout Coffee! read more

Hideout has become my go to coffee spot since they opened. I'll choose it any day over Starbucks. The service is always amazing and they are so fast! I love that they have different options for sugar free syrups other than vanilla. They also use 3 shots in their 16oz Lattes and I think that's awesome! read more

Five stars for the quality of the Matcha. Just like I like it it's not overly sweet and you really get the earthy flavor. It's super convenient place for coffee if you're visiting library park or the library to deal with the crowds on Myrtle because it recently opened there usually is a line and disappointed at these prices not my name can't be called when I give it to them. Service can be slow and impersonal. Hopefully service and training can be ironed out and get up to par with the decor, pricing, and the quality of the drinks.. read more

Hideout Coffee - Lavender Matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Nestled in the streets of Old Town Monrovia, this charming new coffee shop caught our attention. My boyfriend and I decided to stop by on a Saturday morning to give it a try. I found it quite endearing, tucked between two stores--almost like a hidden gem. When we arrived, there was a short line, and it took about 10 minutes before we could place our order. I opted for an iced mocha with a cream top, while my boyfriend went for a pistachio latte with oat milk. Both 12oz drinks came to around $15, which felt pretty standard for today's prices. We received our drinks about 5 minutes later, but I wasn't particularly impressed. First, they forgot the cream top on my mocha, though they were quick to correct it when I mentioned it. That added a few extra minutes to the wait. I understand that they're still finding their rhythm, so I'll give them some leeway, but I did find the service a bit slow. The mocha itself was decent--nothing to write home about--though my boyfriend did enjoy his pistachio latte. Overall, while I don't think I'll be returning in the near future, I'm optimistic that with time, both the service and the quality will improve. read more

The best matcha ~ hopefully they get better at having enough blueberry to last the day. Dont order online! I've done this numerous times and everytime I arrive, they realize 25 mins later that they don't even check the system for online orders. Waited 25 mins then asked, THEN they made it .. an additional 10mins Even when you order at the window expect to stand there for at least 15-20 mins . They need more workers. If you like REAL matcha and REAL flavors this place is for you! The matcha blueberry is not bitter to me.. it just tastes like REAL strong matcha! This isn't Starbucks so don't expect fake overly sweet drinks. I just have a major complaint over the lids!!! The straws squish and u can't mix it up bc the spot where the straw goes in is soooo tight read more

The service is excellent. Unfortunately the drinks were a disappointment. We ordered the lavender latte and the lavender matcha which were both bitter and tasted a bit strong on the lavender- tasted like you were drinking perfume. There were about 3 people in line ahead of us - I asked each one if they had been here before to see what drink they would recommend - but just like us they were first timers. Hopefully they will fix their drinks so people can come back as we would love to support small businesses. read more

Hideout Coffee - We ordered the lavender matcha and the lavender latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I would rate the matcha cream top a 7.5/10, not bad at all, but not the best I've ever had. Sadly, the real problem is that it's listed on the menu for $7 but they actually charge $8 So when I asked her about this, she goes "yeahhhh they don't match" and I said, you mean you're charging more than you advertise? She was just matter of fact about it. Didn't honor the posted price. So two matchas were $18 after tax. Which is an arm and a leg compared to the best matcha cream top you can get in Little Tokyo for $5.75 including tax. I don't regret going but I can't see myself ever returning. read more

I came here early morning on Valentine's Day for the first time. I love the way the stand looks and it's definitely a unique addition to the coffee shop selection on Myrtle. My drink was good, and I would definitely come back again. However, if you're in a hurry (I kinda was) and you see a line of even a few people, I would suggest finding another place. If you have time to wait, go for it, but I waited about 20 minutes even though it was pretty early. It also could've been because it was Valentine's Day, to be completely fair! Would still recommend! read more

We came the first day they opened and it was considered their soft opening. The shop looks nice and modern. Love the vibe and ambiance even though there are no seating options. It's a hole (literally) in the wall and I'm all for it. The service was nice and simple. I ordered the Pistachio Latte and it was better than I thought. The pistachio really stands out and I was very happy with it. My brother and cousin got the Blueberry Latte and Salted Matcha Cream Top. The Blueberry Latte was different than anything we have normally tried and it was good but felt it was overpowered by the coffee. You can taste the blueberry and there are small pieces of it which is a nice touch. The Salted Matcha Cream Top was really good. The matcha was delicious and the foam on top added a little more sweetness. I would definitely come back and get that Pistachio Latte! read more

It's a stand style type of place looks cute but looks don't matter when it's the worst coffee on the block. Got the lavender and blueberry latte. Both taste disgusting. Blueberry is overly sweet and lavender just tastes bitter with zero flavor (almost like diet coke). It's actually horrid. They call the place hideout coffee, I wish it could hide better. I'll never go again. Service was fine just very slow cause of busy it was on that day. But based on how the coffee tastes, I highly doubt anyone in that line would make a return visit. The coffee tastes burnt. Picture below is how much we drank, it's getting thrown away. Go to the many other spots on the same street instead. This is the worst spot on the block . I'm not usually this mean but it's just that bad in comparison to what's available all around it. A place that specializes in coffee shouldn't be worst than Paris baguette. read more

Don't get me wrong, their coffee is good and strong. They also make it look nice, perfect for social media. It's very expensive and they charge for any little extra thing, which most places do but my coffee ends up coming out to 10 dollars. What i don't like is that they charge for extra vanilla syrup or like cold foam, but if you only want 1 of the 3 pumps of syrup and cold foam they won't deduct the amount for only getting one pump , read more

I actually really liked the pistachio coffee! If you're an actually coffee lover, you'd love the bitterness that this coffee has! Oh man was it strong! I was wired! I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area! I got my coffee with oat milk and it was amazing! The staff was also very nice! It's very hidden!

Hideout coffee moved inside the acai bar next door, they're not closed! The pistachio latte is delicious, the pistachio flavor is strong but balanced because you can still taste the coffee, it's not overly sweet! It's perfect and I look forward to trying more coffee drinks here. The barista is also super friendly. The price is about average, slightly high but most coffee shops are these days. read more

I ordered a large and it was so small. I'm not sure if they hard the large size but it was like ~$7 for the smallest cup of iced mocha and it wasn't even good. It was very sweet. I couldn't even finish it and it was small. But I just ordered the mocha. My friend ordered another drink and she liked it a lot. Could be my personal preference. read more

Hideout Coffee - Iced mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Stumbled upon Hideout Coffee while on a walk with my husband this afternoon. I love the concept of a window coffee shop, and I was really excited to come across it by chance. Unfortunately, this excitement was quickly diminished. The barista working was not friendly at all. She did not welcome or greet us or ask if we had any questions on the menu, she quite literally just looked at us. We decided to get an iced lavender matcha with oat milk and this was another huge disappointment. There was no one in line before us, and it took quite awhile for our one drink order. The drink was given to us as a pour over not mixed into the milk, which is fine, but the matcha itself was clearly not prepared correctly. The latte was given to us with so many clumps of matcha and was gritty and grainy and the matcha taste was non-existent. The lavender syrup was the only redeeming quality of the drink. It was flavorful and good quality, but without the syrup, it might as well have just been a glass of oat milk, and it was close to $8. The barista didn't look at us while handing the drink to us and she didn't say anything. She just walked away. The customer service was truly terrible and the drink was not good at all. What a huge bummer. Maybe the coffee is better, but I definitely do not recommend coming here for matcha, and the customer service was so bad. read more

Been turned away from here twice. First time the girl in the front said they had to pause service to grind more coffee. Fine no biggie, I figured I'd come back another time. The second time she wouldn't take my order because she said she had to take out the trash... ummmm what? First time was semi-understandable, but the second time was pretty dumb. It was literally just me in line, I think the trash could have waited for a customer... anyway probably not gonna go for a third time to be let down again. read more

Went back for my same order except no cream top and unfortunately it wasn't very good. When I think of great matchas, I think of consistency and unfortunately their matcha wasn't consistently good. Although I do believe they have some great drinks, I just think I'd opt for other matcha options in the area now! read more

I arrived at 3pm for a matcha since I've been wanting to check it out and it looked cute! There were only 2 people ahead of me so I figured it wouldn't be too long of a wait. Cut to almost 3:30, seeing my drink sitting on the back counter, and all of the people that arrived after me had already left with their drinks, when they finally let me know my drink would be ready soon. I'm not an impatient person and as a former barista, I understand getting busy, so trying to be understanding. The matcha was good and the atmosphere is really cool, but the experience overall as a first time customer was not it. read more

I have tried their iced matcha latte with whole milk twice now, and it is so good! Their service was a bit slow, but it kind of seemed like there was only one person working...

I was really excited to try the blueberry matcha latte at Hideout Coffee, but it was a huge disappointment. The matcha itself was just okay, but I could barely taste any blueberry--it was almost nonexistent. For the price, I expected way better quality and flavor.
