    Turkey something
    Michelle L.

    We had hidden kitchen in Cayucos a couple of years ago and I was excited to see they had one here. Their smoothies are the best smoothies I have ever had. I don't even like smoothies. They also have this blue corn waffles sweet and savory options. DELICIOUS ! I wish they had more coffee options but they offer drip. Love the cute small space. Shares the patio with a store.

    Turmeric immunity booster smoothie!

    Arrived at 8:55 on Sunday morning, and only two parties in front of us in the queue. We had the San Luis waffle that comes with two over easy eggs, bacon and avocado. Perfect to split between two of us. We also had the immunity booster smoothie. We are not normally smoothie people but we liked this one because it was not too sweet. The people who work there are so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in that little back courtyard area is cozy and comfortable. The drip coffee is delicious and comes with a bottomless cup! Great value. We also picked up some waffle mix to try at home!!

    Interesting spot. Somewhat actually hidden funny enough. Food all spins off, acorn based gluten-free waffle option. Wouldn't say anything was amazing but I also believe it was somewhat original which I'm giving them extra points for. Smoothies are also decent. And the drip coffee was decent. I would return a pinch.

    The waffle was amazing, the house sauce is great. The wait was 45mins long for the one plate, so be prepared to wait. It's outside but the decor is cute. I will definitely come back

    Super thick and creamy smoothies

    Hidden garden brunch spot in Cambria. Delicious big blue corn waffles available in savory and sweet. But also -- BEST smoothies I've had - super fluffy, thick, creamy. It's like ice cream. It's even better than Erewhon!

    San Luis Sunrise.  2 eggs fried with bacon ends and avocado on a blue corn waffle &  a spicy sauce!

    Vegan bowl, Cambria Classic and Morro Melt

    Went for brunch on Saturday around 10:30 a.m. and ordered at the front counter then found a seat in the cute courtyard with a view of the ocean. The food was brought out quickly and wow, flavors were perfect. Husband had the Moro melt and loved it. I had a veggie big fall bowl. The Cambria classic also lovely. Great place for brunch, have lots of options for gluten intolerant peeps.

    Cute little spot that truly is a hidden kitchen. You'd miss it if you're not paying attention. We tried the Morro melt savory waffle with a blue corn waffle, pan fried organic turkey, havarti cheese, caramelized, onions, avocado, hidden kitchen sauce, and arugula!

    *Visited around 10:30am on a Sunday :) I cannot reiterate how much I love the hidden kitchen. Even though this location is only open during the weekend, it's in the heart of downtown Cambria and honestly a perfect brunch spot. The seating is outside, and is very chill & quiet area. Ordering is fairly simple, you order with a staff member at the front of the shop and sit down with a number. Your order will be brought to your table by a very friendly staff member. Once done eating, it's pretty self serving when you'd toss your plate and put the utensils into a bin. OKAY THE FOOD: * you CANNOT go wrong with their smoothies here. Fair warning, they are pretty thick and SO filling but you're able to take it to go if you don't finish it! * Morro Melt Waffle: today was my first time having this dish and MY GOOOODNESS is it super tasty. It was very filling and not too heavy. 20/10 would recommend!

    Sunrise waffle Monte Cristo

    Omg! This place is a Celiac's paradise!! Their menu is amazing! Every time I'm in town I have to make sometime to stop and eat there! The vibes are so cute and the staff are so nice! My must have favourite is the monte Cristo! But I branched out this trip and I'm so glad I did because it's now tied for my number one favourite.

    This is a staple when coming to Cambria! Just as wonderful as the last time. The service and food is amazing

    San Luis sunrise
    Derek F.

    Fantastic food that allergen friendly. We had three of the waffles and the Gordon Greens smoothie and they were all delicious. Highly recommended. I'm a coffee snob and the drip coffee we surprisingly good for a big pot of drip. Medium roast and food full bodied flavor.

    Entrance it real is hidden lol

    I have to tell you that I wasn't going to come here but I'm so glad we did! This is a hidden gem the best breakfast I've ever had. Don't let the Blue corn waffle or Organic make you think twice, it was DELICIOUS. Such a cute little place and the service was great. The girls were friendly. Don't miss this place it's A MUST try if you want breakfast.

Theres also a really good restaurant there, Frankies n' Lolas. See my review. Anyways I'm waiting to pick up a ride, she bumped me to a later pick up time, twice...err. So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin
