This Santa Ana spot has it going on. Line almost out the door at 11 am on a Wednesday. They have a roasting operation, indoor seating, a bar situation and a big outdoor patio. Huge parking lot next door. Coffee was very good. Recommended.

The coffee shop was extremely well-organized and clean! Im glad my acquaintance told me about your large and lovely business. When I entered the store, the personnel greeted me with a gorgeous smile. I also noticed that if you are a student, the location is pretty useful for holding a meeting and conducting research. What a fantastic location, boys!

What a cool lowkey but super spacious coffee shop in downtown Santa Ana. I ordered the Maple Latte with Oat Milk to-go and a slice of banana bread. Both items were delicious and I cant wait to return.The cashier was really friendly and there was just a nice vibe about the place. Theres a massive patio outside so I cant wait to come back. This place is worth a visit! I stopped by early Thursday morning and it was super calm and quiet with good music. Perfect place for personal time or to meet with a colleague or friend.

Finding a coffeeshop with spacious sitting area is not always easy. This branch of Hidden House coffee has a great outdoor sitting area with tables spaced out for social and physical distancing. Hidden House coffee is one of the best in Orange County. This was our first time visiting Santa Ana location and we were thrilled by the service, quality coffee and cool vibes the place gives. We also order our in house use coffee beans from Hidden House. They have the freshest and most aromatic coffee roast.

The most respectable coffee shop in my neighborhood. I never expected this location to hold such significance for me. Their coffee tasted just as it did back then. I valued their services because they had not changed in a long time. It was definitely worth the money! The interior is stunning from the outside to the inside. Excellent pricing and customer service!

This location holds a special place in my heart. Its a great place to catch up with friends and family for drinks and delicious treats. I adore this place. Its not a big business, but they have a variety of seating options. Its a peaceful, quiet setting with a gentle, soothing vibe. I wholeheartedly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

Legit coffee place, beautiful ambience they have an hidden outdoor patio in the back. I didnt try the coffee but the place smells sooo good. I believe they roast coffee on site, I ordered matcha with almond milk and that was really good.

This coffee shop is just wonderful! The design is beautiful, and the coffee is one of the best Ive ever had! The pastries always look so yummy and fresh. I was impressed with both the atmosphere and the coffee served. Also, the staff are super friendly and nice. 10/10 for customer service! I will definitely coming back soon.

Great drinks and pastry selection. Love the vibe and all the seating this place has.

What an a amazing place. The smell of fresh roasted coffee as you enter the place is incredible. The baked goods were just superb...the bagel balls...wow!!!The looks of the place were excellent. And theb patio....THE PATIO!!!!Just go there

Terrific coffee, albeit a bit pricey. Pastries are amazing!! Easy parking behind the building. Unfortunately, nobody’s wearing masks. Free WiFi. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice baristas.

Great coffee~~I shouldve been there early morning to taste their yummy bread ....Theyre sold out 😭

Best coffee house in OC. Friendly staff, great coffee and beautiful setting. Baked goods are a must and there 12 ounce bags are perfect for home.

Hidden gem (maybe not so hidden but it rhymes) in the Santa Ana neighborhood, away from the downtown area! Lovely backyard that’s quiet and beautiful, especially in the morning when you can hear the bird chirping. Decent drinks and nice staff. The daily brew tasted just as fresh as you’d get if it were a pour over

Upon paying at the register, she said a church is paying for the coffee today.Thank you church.Great outdoor patio.

Great art house style coffee house. Note, at the time I visited there was no decaf espresso available. Also parking is a bit confusing. There is a parking lot accessible from a side street but it is signed that it is private parking only. However I did see several people going to the coffee house park there.

Founded in 2010, and since expanded from San Juan Capistrano to Santa Ana, Hidden House Coffee is no longer so secret, though the Café inside a 1914 brick warehouse retains an intimate feeling where locals gather to talk, sip and eat in front of an 18 Kilogram capacity roaster.A passion project from owner Ben Briggs, Hidden House’s expansion from what some consider the oldest street in California a calculated move targeting new clientele plus increased output, it is along East Santa Ana Boulevard that guests will find the 2,400-square-foot space surrounding a central bar with outside patio and on-site bakery near opposing doors.Urban in location but vintage by appearance, brick and concrete softened by foliage, it is once seating is secured that most make their way to room’s center, baristas either buzzed or flighty but extremely laid back while detailing the flavor profiles of several roasts offered as Espresso or Pour-Over.Using Mahlkonig grinders and Synesso machines with all the expected noise, while overhead music is predictable Coffee Shop stuff, it was eventually opting for Cocoa-perfumed Cold Brew that the bill was paid, the next ninety minutes spent sipping while using free Wi-Fi and indulging in Pastry.All in-house production, the roaster up front and bakeshop visible through glass, Breakfast began with Banana Bread, its crumb fragrant and moist with Raisins while Almonds as well as Walnuts each added texture and their characteristic taste.Continuing with Fruit, Hidden House’s Scones nothing like the dry and flavorless versions found throughout England, only those who like *lots* of Frangipane should consider the almond Croissant filled with cloying Paste, while the Chocolate Chip Cookies are somewhat slight on Chips but otherwise well-made with crispy edge around soft center.

Been getting coffee here for about a year, everyone is extremely nice and their coffee is excellent and consistent doesnt matter who makes it, its always great.

Good 🌄 Morning Friends and family. I had the pleasure of doing some traveling yesterday to see some old faces that I havent got to see i quiet some time. Now its always a pleasure to get to spend time with those that you hold dearest to your heart.Once I arrive in town I took notice of a church that was near Saint Joseph Church. But while i was on my way I seen Roaster Coffee Shop. I decided that hey im going to check this Coffee Shop Out It was my pleasure stopping in and seen some new faced and very kind people that were there to help you out to serves you the best Roast Coffee That Santana has to offer. So thank you for that. I know where to go once I visit again. Blessings

This is a great space, both inside and out. The courtyard in the back is something I rarely see in Southern Cali, ... it reminds me of something I might find out of state. Its definitely an atmosphere thats sometimes appreciated in a great community coffee shop. Trees, fresh air, and it doesnt feel like its part of a crazy hustle and bustle of the city.Friendly staff. In house bakery kitchen. In house roasting.I tried a couple different coffees and they were varied in taste but all high in quality.Shared a few different pastries,... the vegan cookie was rich and delicious. The apricot & thyme scone with glaze was savory and good. The bagel bomb was awesome w a flavored cream cheese filling. Def try that! Unique. We got the last one on that day.When youre in the area, check them out. And their outdoor beer garden, Dear Lacy, is steps away and has soft opened.

Delicious coffe and its only oatmilk coffee latte! ☕😋 This location is open for dining in. You can sit at outdoor backyard if its not too hot... I am writing this in the summer ☀️

Really cute patio that you cant see from the front, and great coffee roasted on site.

Got an iced matcha latte. It was as expected! During covid times great that they have this huge spaced out shady backyard. Good for hanging out, working and drinking coffee outside. Highly recommend

Great cool please to grab a coffee.

Iced Americano made to order. Strong and amazing!! Helpful and very nice staff.

My first pour over after landing in California, and I was instantly blown away by the Salvadorian Pacamara. The coffee shop is extremely cozy, they have their giant coffee roaster on display at the entrance. Would visit again.

Great coffee experience amazing atmosphere for meeting friends work and chilaxing. Friendly service

The vibe of the place was good. I chose to sit outside and the Wi-Fi connectivity was poor. Nice place to hang out but not work.

Spacious gourmet coffee place. Had strawberry cream cheese bagel ball and it was bomb. Cant say the same for bacon cheese scone. Dried and tasteless.

Amazing coffee! Great seating, indoor and outdoor. Wi-Fi. And parking. Park in the lot that says Ebell Society parking only

I love meeting a friend at this place. The atmosphere is marvelous. It really is a hidden house, located near the train station in old downtown San Juan Capistrano.

Good cold brew. Cute little outdoor area.

Truly a hidden Jem of OC. They have on site roasting. Very nice ambience and sitting area, they even have a nice outside patio behind the store. My Americano was just excellent and the way I love it, and their almond croissant was yummy delicious warm and soft and very flavorful, will definitely go out of my way to stop by here again when I am in the area!! Baristas were bit on the dry side...cheer up guys, you could make the experience even so much more awesome!

Rustic modern coffee shop with friendly staff. The coffee and quick bites are great! The outdoor space in the back is amazing and made me want to spend the afternoon!

Over rated coffee ☕ was expecting much more in flavor since they do their own roasting

It has very nostalgic and the most delicious coffee, I recommend it

Nice little shop. I got a iced chai latte and it was how I like it. So far the best chai latte compared to other coffee shops I’ve been to in OC.

Loved this place! Espresso was fantastic and the chai tea! 😍 only negative was parking.

What a nice treat. Their $1.50 chocolate chip cookie was amazing. Their espresso is smooth and rich. Cant wait to be in the area again and come back.Cappuccino A+Macchiato A+Cookie A+

Great coffee! Plenty of seating and wall plugs. Great ambient music selection! It says they close at 6pm on Sundays but there were plenty of folks still around until almost 7 when I left.

I enjoyed the espresso made from their house blend.

Good coffee, if a bit precious. Wonderful that there’s a variety of kombucha on draught, particularly as they are local brands, for the most part. Note that seating can be hard to find... Laptop central, in other words, when it’s too chilly for the patio

Excellent coffe. If you are a good coffee drinker that place is for you!You can see Excellent barista skills!

Just the environment I was searching for. A coffee shop with quiet yet happy vibes.

Got the Americano. So damn smooth!

Cute coffee shop with great outdoor patio

I liked the idea of an in house roaster, I loved that the pastries were made in house. Latte taste like a blonde latte from Starbucks. Pastries were good, just needs some refining.

A truly hidden coffee house in the middle of a small neighborhood. Selfishly, I hope it stays hidden. The good coffee and hip vibes make this a prime spot to study or get some work done.

The staff is nice. there is a church payed for my coffee and the coffe is so good!

A good lunch spot while shopping in the south coast plaza area. Their crepes didn’t disappoint! The lavender latte was pretty good too.

Damn good coffee quality.Smooth and rich flavors.Also got the matcha latte; rich, earthy, and perfect for a rainy day.

Nice atmosphere. If you dont want coffee they can make a mean iced chamomile tea.

Beautiful location, comfortable and great coffee

Im a ridshare driver and one of my passangers told me about good strang coffee, so if you like coffee shop remind you old days this is place for you, nice people with good service, when you tray this shop you wont go somewhere use for real coffee.

Great place to work from.

Decent coffee fairly good service nice looking place. Worth a stop. Their almond croissants are pretty dry but tasty, maybe if asked to have them heated up a bit.

Lots of outside space to work. Friendly staff and easy parking.

Great coffee ☕ and atmosphere 👌

The best. The customer service was amazing. The coffee and pastry was to die for. And the best part is its a veteran-owned small business. If youre close by treat yourself to a good cup of coffee.

Great spot, would come again! It tasted like rainbow sprinkles and cake. Lavender iced coffee is delicious!

HHC makes good use out of the rustic building it inhabits. The coffee roasters/press is part of the decor, and the bakery is visible behind glass windows. Like any modern coffee shop, its wifi accessible and stuffed with a variety of Millennials on their device. The drink list is simple and the Chai I ordered was creamy and smooth.Be aware that parking can be a bit of a challenge as they have only a few spots in the adjacent lot.

This place is expensive but the coffee is good. The setup and place are nice/clean. If you want to hangout this is a great place to meet up. If you want to study, come early because there are very few spots that have an outlet.

Awesome place! Desiree was welcoming and extremely warm when we walked in and ordered. GO HERE, but only if you like coffee ...

Good atmosphere and drinks.

Love my Hidden House Coffee! Its near my work and so I often will go to pick up a nice, fresh coffee. Theres lots of street parking so youll always be able to find a parking spot. Theres inside and outdoor seating as well which gives a nice variety of locations to sit at. Their staff is also very friendly and will help you with any questions you may have.

Excellent, friendly service. Knowledgeable Baristas. Fresh baked yummy pastries. (Highly recommend their blueberry muffin warmed up 😋 June 2020) Made in-house. Quality beans, attention to details. Great workspace indoors and outside on their back patio.

Thank goodness for Hidden House Coffee right around the corner from my house. Great and super amazing coffee and great WiFi when most needed helping me have a great start to my morning and be productive.

Not easy to see off the street, this place is perfect for parking in downtown Santa Ana and hanging out with friends. It has great parking and pretty darn good coffee. Hopefully they’ll have an immersive experience dialed in the future!

1 star specifically due to masks enforcement.Its disappointing to have to write this review however I have tried to contact HHC for a week through different avenues and have received no response regarding the events we have been seeing happen at your SA location.My husband and I try to visit the SA location at least once a week (especially since COVID) to support and make sure your coffee shop remains open. As proud SA residents, HHC is our first choice of coffee in SA/ Tustin/ Orange and the first one we recommend to people.Recently it has been harder for us to choose to continue to visit your SA location.Over the last two weeks we have seen the same family (husband, wife and adult daughter/ young woman with them) order inside without masks. They appear to know the staff and the young woman entered the bakery prep area and hugged the employee making the baked goods upon leaving. The same couple was there last Sunday with a different young woman (all mask less). I know you have a partnership with Mariners on Sundays, however it seems they have multiple guests that don’t wear masks either with ordering before they join the group out back.We want to continue to choose you as our favorite neighborhood coffee shop. We know it can be hard for your staff to address customers about wearing masks but there is a sign on your door that masks are required for entry and per CDPH face masks must be worn especially indoors. We care about you all and want you to stay open and healthy.Please keep your staff and coffee shop safe and welcoming for everyone during this difficult time.Thank you

Great atmosphere and lots of space on there patio area.

Delicious food and coffee. Super friendly employees. Clean bathroom. Nice parking area.

The staff is unwelcoming, and seemed to be bothered when you ask a question. Would you expect anything less from millennial these days? The hot chai I ordered was barely luke warm, needless to say I was highly disappointed!

My wife and I went to HHC this morning and got a cinnamon roll, mocha, and oat milk latte. The cinnamon roll was fresh out of the oven and was transcendent! I have seldom had a baked item this good from anywhere! The mocha and latte were great and the service was lovely. I love this little place a couple blocks from home. Keep it up HHC.

Strong coffee, creamy iced chai, a friendly and energetic staff; the Hidden House Cafe has it all. It is a little difficult to find being on a residential area but its totally worth the discovery.

Coffee is great. Probably a step above Starbucks or Coffee Bean but its a little expensive. $4 for a large coffee and its really not a large. Its more like a medium size. My big issue besides the price is when I went to pay they wouldnt take cash. They said Management didnt want to take the risk because of Covid whatever the hell that means. So I tell them all I have is cash. Then I noticed a Tip Jar with cash in it. I say to the cashier So you guys wont take cash but you have a tip jar...with cash she said yeah sorry so I said How about this. You give me a large coffee and Ill throw $4 in the tip jar? She agreed and I got the coffee. Just seemed really stupid

Definitely visit this place if you are in So Cal

This place is incredible. Its very hard find a good coffee shop that is big, has great coffee, lots of food options, and parking. This one has all of the above and more! Their are tons of tables both inside and outside and its a great place to work and meet with friends or colleagues.

Excellent coffee!

The best place to hide. Great employees. Great coffee. Great vibe.

Definitely a classic coffee shop. Their space is very spacious and they also have outside seating as well.Their American was pretty diluted so Im assuming they use a darker roast for their coffee

Darling place to work outside. Great coffee and such friendly staff 🙏🏼

Coffee was amazing. I wish they had the Salvadoran coffee in stock when I arrived, but unfortunately they were sold out. I definitely recommend going to get a latte when you can.

Their latte was amazing

Free cold brew when you get a bag of their awesome roasted beans.

Good place for any java junkie.

Super clean space, absolutely massive amount of seating for a coffee shop, inside, outside, everywhere is just tables. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff with killer in house pastries and roasting done right in view of the bar. Love being here, the only issue is parking is a bit scarce but if you can find a spot its well worth it to circle for a few minutes.

Excellent 3rd wave coffee...

Great cool spot in Santa Ana. Cold Brews always on point with flavors.

This place is great to stop by in the morning. They are fast, there is plenty of parking, and the coffee is really good! (I typically get the cold brew). Their space is also great for hanging out to chat or work on your laptop.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, nice dog-friendly patio

I have to write a review for the avocado toasts! They were amazing - One of the best avocado toasts Ive ever had!!The breakfast tacos were also delicious but I would go with avocado toasts if you have to pick one.

Parking is a little hard to find in this neighborhood. The interior is similar to most small coffee shops these days. Nice but nothing special. The cashier was unfriendly at best. We were obviously first-timers here. She left us looking around confused looking for the menu. We finally found the really small menus which were made out of slabs of wood which was actually cool. She didnt make any recommendations or help at all. She just stared at us then said something smart about taking the menus. Maybe she was having a bad day. We ordered and ended up sitting on their outside patio since all their indoor seating was taken up by people on their laptops. The whole buy one coffee and take up a seat for hours at a coffee shop thing really bothers me. It must cut into their profits but these little places dont seem to care. In the end, the coffee was average at best. There are much better options in the area for a good cup of coffee and a place to chill.

I love the coffee here! ...just mistifies me why coffee houses cant have better food. Im NOT saying to follow in Starbucks footsteps. However, it wouldnt be hard to improve upon their food.Please refer to & go to Analog Coffee in Calgary, AB. They have equally awesome coffee AND a small selection of amazingly good sandwiches. With such a nice space at Hidden House Coffee, ....it would make it for more reasons to visit.

Great service, high quality coffee roasted on site, fair prices, great atmosphere, pastries made in house as well.Seriously great spot. This has become a regular Saturday morning routine for me and my family. The kids love saying hi to the baristas and look forward to the hot chocolate, bagel bombs and other house made pastries.Definitely recommend getting a traditional cappuccino and almond croissant. Cant go wrong with any of the pastries though honestly.Sit out on the back patio under the shade trees if your kids need to stretch their legs.

Pet friendly! Like their coffee taste and vibe!

I had a latte with the alternative milk option. Quite pricey as must hip and trendy coffee shops charge. I’m quite a coffee pero son and splurge on lattes from time to time since i have to pay extra for milk alternatives. The place is cute but the coffee was a miss. Their espresso was so bitter i could barely drink my latte. It was a quick butter tase upon pressing my lips to the mug and then the sip confirmed the beans were gross. I did get a cute profile picture but not worth my $6. The staff wasn’t friendly but I should’ve complained instead of forcing bitterness down.

Amazing that there is a coffee shop roasting their own beans in his tiny town, but here it is and its great. They make their iced latte with concentrated cold brew and its delicious. Our 3-year-old had a peach apricot smoothie and loved it. Great location and charming space as well.

Good ambiance. Great service. Good coffee.

Nice place to study, good black coffee, large space with a lovely outdoor patio. Super simple decor. Not many breakfast options, but their selection is simple and yummy. I had their bacon cheddar bagel ball thing and really enjoyed it.If youre looking for a breakfast place, this provably isnt the spot for you. I think they serve more food on the weekend.Love the open concept and large windows, a lot of natural light. Mainly small tables for one or two people, bar seating, and very little tables for large groups.As for parking, I did not find an open lot. I parked on the street; either side of the shop works. Just look out for parking signs. The building itself is easy to spot, and stands alone between the two small streets.

Nice spot, great coffee
