Excellent little coffee house. Seating is all outside, but there is plenty of shade from the massive tree in front, it really makes for a unique experience.SMOOTH is the word of choice for their latte and chai—what we ordered. Banana Bread was good too. I can see why there was a line out the door when we first walked by it. Worth a taste!

This a cosy place with very good coffee, and its on the oldest street in Calif.

Super cute coffee shop with so much flavor. We got the regular latte and iced chai latte, so good! It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s worth waiting in line. You’ll see next door a beautiful rose arch from the nice neighbors, enjoy the visit!!

Escape from reality in this quite coffee place in San Juan Capistrano. Staff always welcomes you with great energy and the rustic garden is perfect way to sip your choice of great tasting coffee.Ps: If you are planing to do some work make sure charge you devices, no outlets on the garden as we all can understand

Located in a historic 120 year old rustic house, with nice relaxing place to sit outside in a garden setting to enjoy great in-house roasted speciality coffee and pastry. 😋😋😋

I’ve been hearing about this place for years and I finally decided to try it. In the pictures, it looks like a cute little charming house, but when you get close, it’s more of a dilapidated disaster. This place is probably five hungry termites away from being a pile of wood on the ground, I thought I was gonna fall right through the floor. Waiting for my drink (it’s hot in there with no AC, by the way, for the poor baristas) I was alarmed by the centuries of dust and cobwebs caked on the windowsills and on the one fan in the corner that someone probably bought from Montgomery Ward back in 1997 that was solely responsible for circulating the air for the entire room. I just did not get a good impression from this crypt at all and will not be going back. The coffee was not worth it.

The place as name suggests is hidden but the coffee smell is so great... that it stands out!!! You will be literally get carried away by the smell of the coffee.. its sooo good!!!

Good coffee nice staff

Cutest little coffee house! I was so happy with the fresh almond croissant and iced chai with oat milk i got! Very friendly staff and lots of spots outside and in the neighboring park to sit back and relax

Hidden little gem on a beautiful strip in San juan, amazing staff, their bagel bombs are unique and delicious and their prices are fair! Highly recommended checking it out

Great local gem, really amazing bold coffee. If your in the area its must see. Very hidden and lovely historic treat.

Great coffee at a cool unique spot

Hidden House Coffee, located in the Los Rios District of San Juan Capistrano, is an awesome place to get a latte! The place itself has a lot of character and their coffee is really really good! They sell coffee beans as well for you to make coffee at home. My favorites are the Ethiopia blend and Columbia. I definitely recommend this place for the best latte in town.

A perfect quaint coffee shop off the path. Hidden House has been a favorite of mine for years, they make their coffee perfect. For parking make sure you take the next street over as the little alley theyre on is tough to find parking.

Great Vibe. Stop by and enjoy coffee and treats in a relaxed laid back environment. They have a few non dairy milk options.

Great small spot to sit and have a drink. The prices are a bit high but the quality is 100% and the environment couldnt be better. You feel like youre in a place that a great book was written.

The baristas were nice and the location was in a great spot in the heart of San Juan Capistrano.

We joined the rewards plan today. The train station is just outside the Coffee Shop.

Cute coffee spot. Just off the Amtrak station and park. Friendly staff. Popular.

Quaint little spot that roasts their own beans and makes a good espresso.Definitely worth a trip if youre in the area. Pleasantly surprised with the environment and the quality. The baristas are definitely legitimately into coffee and the overall experience was very positive.If youre in the area, take a walk down the historic path its on and pop in for a drink. Didnt expect to find this gem but its certainly one of the best cafes in the area.

Wonderful staff and an amazing coffee, located in a lovely place .

Best cinnamon rolls Ive ever had. Served warm with creme cheese frosting. Great service and a wonderful setting with a quiet tree covered patio. Grab a coffee, cinnamon roll and enjoy your treat with a friend at an outside table. Wonderful!

One of the BEST cups of coffee Ive had in a loooong time! had the Ecuadorian with oat milk, soooo satisfying, warm chocolate notes, perfectly delicious . chocolate chip cookie good, croissant was a pass, but the coffee...oooh the coffee. having another one today...cant wait!

Cool place. I came somewhat late in the day so they were out of pastries and I got the last cookie. Cappuccino was really nice. Decaf flat white wasnt as great. Cookie was very good.

The coffee here is as novel as the coffee house would want you to think. The atmosphere is super nice- it is in a house and all made of wood. The prices are great and it is with the five minute walk from the street 😊

Great little coffee shop. Employee was nice and gave tasty recommendations.

My favorite is if you buy a bag of their coffee beans you get a free drink. I’ll try and go every Sunday to enjoy San Juan with a coffee.

Smooth af like silky smooth. Chai life

Pro tip: you can bring your laptop and work here both inside and outside. It’s pretty much self service here and the counter people are a bit all over the place, but very friendly

Coffee and pastries were just okay. It was crowded, and there wasn’t any parking.

Quaint little local coffee shop. Cold brew wasn’t my favorite, a little sour for my taste, but we got one each of the pastries and all were excellent.

Great place with a gorgeous location in San Juan. The place is veteran owned and has little Bible verses under their coffee bean bags and coffee cups. They had an interesting selection of coffee bean bags to choose from, and even some other cute little merchandise.Im not much of a coffee drinker so I usually try the hot chocolate. Here it wasnt exactly what I was looking for, but it was still good.

Really cute and hippyish, nice staff and good coffee.

Live supporting this local roaster. And the SJC location is so cozy and a great place to meet up and have coffee

Great food.

Great coffee and quaint house in the historic Los Rios district. A favorite spot for us to meet up for coffee.

This is NOT your standard grab and go coffee joint. If Starbucks speed is your goal, thats fine, but this place is not for you.They have one, double group, manual espresso machine, so there is usually a short wait, but they make each drink with purpose.Roasted in house, served with quality in mind, from a humble staff. It is my go-to spot when I have the time to enjoy a coffee.Its quiet and comfortable, with mostly outdoor seating. If you truly enjoy coffee, stop by.

This is an amazing place for coffee and to enjoy the morning

I adore Hidden House! The best pumpkin spice latte that I drive an hour for each year. The coffee is delicious and the bakery items usually have vegan options as well and they never disappoint! Locals obviously love this spot, but all are welcome.

First time going a bit ago and it was beautiful! Small shop with a big attitude(and not in a bad way!) Immediately what stood out was the design and where it was located. Loved the atmosphere, loved the scones. All in all, a wonderful experience that I think everyone deserves to experience

Coolest local spot, right in the historic arts district! They roast their own coffee and sell it on the premises! Great pastry offerings, delicious coffee in a great locale, doesnt get much better than that!

Wonderful, relaxed place to chat. The coffee (ordered a hot mocha) was fantastic as was the almond croissant. A must if you are downtown San Juan Capistrano.

Absolutely amazing lattes and cupcakes! Worth finding this hidden gem

Coffeeis wonderful, great atmosphere and experience

Great coffee and rad employees!

Awesome place to kick back and enjoy some java. Service was quick. Espresso macchiato was smooth.

Tasty coffee house coffee, like I would get in college. Great outdoor location. Very pedestrian-friendly and inviting area.No parking at the location (which is charming really), so park at the train station or the street past where maps tells you to turn.Be prepared, they only have one size. I think it’s 12oz. I’m used to drinking more in a sitting, so it didn’t meet my expectations in that regard. It was a cool day and I really wanted more.

Pretty cute little coffee shop

Location was a tiny difficult to find but worth the search. If you find yourself at the petting zoo, just go the opposite side. There’s plenty of parking in the neighborhood. This place has ample outdoor seating and a nice outdoorsy vibe.

Didnt get a chance to try any of the pastries, I heard its supposed to be Good, but I can tell you this coffee is amazing!

Glad that you are open safely!

Great place to go with my love..

Great local place. People were so helpful and coffee perfect.

This Hidden House is good. Quite small inside. Coffee is good at least. The lavender latte was a tad too sweet for me but the Americano was easy to drink.Place is cute. Parking is hard to find... you just have to park on the street.

Quaint and cozy, out of the way with a simple coffee menu. Limited food options but you can venture to another local shop or cafe for that. Come here for the coffee. Thats all you really need anyway.

The iced maple bourbon latte was great!

Great service. Great coffee. So pretty great.

Great!!!!Great coffee. Great pastries. Great people.Give one of their locations a try, they are outstanding. Night and day better than any chain.

Very pleasant environment to enjoy a coffee and an in person conversation. The perfect addition is the coffee!!

Great coffee and pastries. Very cute spot!

Their cold mocha was great.

I’ve been to the coffee house for several months now and the coffee and pastries are full flavored.The San Juan location is quaint. Today my daughter and I tried the gluten free muffin and it was very tasteful, incredible that they could get a gluten free pastry to taste so delectable.My sincere praise to the baker.

I ordered a large latte & it was my first time & the only costumer there. No taste, no flavor and no froth as if I was having a bad tasting warm milk!!!

This is for their San Juan Capistrano location. Very cute and cosy location. However, I am knocking them done because of their customer service. The barista taking our order was unfriendly, unwelcoming, and cold. It just made the whole experience unenjoyable.My sisters had a totally different experience at their Santa Ana location. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.The location is very spacious compared to their San Juan Capistrano.The coffee is mediocre, but their Mocha is their best drink.

Would definitely come back. Which might look like a ordinary cafe (but a cozy one), it sells the coffee for a very good reason and from a very special place - as you might have already read in the other reviews.

We love the coffee here. It is actually better than any coffee house Ive visited.

I love the ambience and people watching here. The coffee and snacks are good too.

Decent -

Great experience. Quick and delicious. Right by the train station. Perfect if youre early for your train or easy place to relax before youre headed off - just make sure you get to the other side of the track before your train arrives. :)

Lovely atmosphere...great latte

This is always an amazing place to for a business meeting.

Coffee was eh... ok.

Wonderful coffe and off the beaten path. If one is ever at the train station in San Juan Capistrano it is a must go to place for a cup of fresh brew.

The best baristas make you the best coffee in the best coffe house! This place is a jewel in SoCal. I LOVE this place and highly recommend it to those who are looking for a real coffee house.

Very cozy and artistic atmosphere! Chill and kind staff. Really appreciated one employee who started a fresh drip that was different from the brew of the day. Full bodied and fruity coffee, not too bitter at all! A must if you’re ever in San Juan Capistrano train station!

Not many places where you can have coffee with a cow watching you haha

Nestled in the quaint Los Rios Historic District this location has a lot of charm. The amotopshere is warm and inviting. Patio seating is limited but if you can score a seat it is well worth the view of passerby and nature. We ordered a Iced Mocha and an Iced Chai (mixed w/vanilla and spice). The chai blend created a perfect symphony of flavors in my mouth leaving me wanting more. The Iced Mocha had a robust expresso with the right touch of mocha that made the drink perfection in a cup without excessive sweetness.A must try for this area. Will return soon.

This is a great little coffee shop! I showed up just after opening and they already had a line out the door. No worries, though. They were ready for opening rush. It ran very smoothly inside and they got people what they wanted quickly and with a smile. Theres very little seating inside, but thats fine because outside they can seat quite a few with the bonus of it being really beautiful outside! Coffee and my muffin were both terrific. My next visit to this historic neighborhood will definitely see me here again.

Best Pumpkin Spice Latte around. And the Almond Croissant is everything everyone says it is.

Great spot for a coffee

The food was good quality,tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were polite and friendly. The toilets were nice and clean.

Delicious coffee specials and other assorted beverages. They offer some incredible pastries that you just cant pass up. Its a great place to sit Outdoors. It is very quaint and Des a lovely place to meet up with friends where to go on your own for a special treat

Great hidden gem! Love the area! Just grabbed a regular coffee and tastes great! Will definitely be back next time Im in the area

Adorable little place with a great staff. Truly is Hidden. A traveler just passing through and need a caffeine fix!

We stopped by the cafe on late Friday afternoon and my sister picked up a chai latte which was good. The banana-nut bread was okay, on the dry side and the flavor was okay. On Saturday, I went back and gave their chocolate chip cookie a try. Now for a $1.50 this was worth every penny. It was soft and it was a good size for a cookie. The chocolate chips were on the gooey side. Oh yeah! Much better than the banana-nut bread experience from Friday. The staff is friendly and courteous. The cafe is clean and there is a very casual feel about it. Well go back again when we travel out here in the future.

Waited about 15 minutes for drink. When the barista puts the drinks on the bar you have know idea who the drink belongs to as they do not call out names or let you know what the drinks are. Some customers were served immediately and some like me were waiting around way too long. The two people making the drinks were less than enthusiastic and moving at a snails pace. Lastly, for $5.50 you get such a small size cup about 4.5” tall. I usually like to support smaller coffee houses, but this was a disappointment.

Great coffee shop. The selection of espressos and coffee is large and the pastry is delicious. Highly recommended.

Best coffee in this historical district. After a stroll in historic town, a great stop for a coffee. The rustic settings of this shop perfect for the town

Coffee is no longer the same experience after Hidden House Coffee Roasters opened in SJC. BY FAR THE BEST COFFEE AND BARISTAS anywhere in the OC bubble.

Amazing spot to get some coffee, maybe a snack, meet up with a friend, or possibly even study. Hidden House is the go-to spot for a local coffee shop. Can never go wrong with one of their lattes, as their house-made roast is on the smoother side than the nuttier. Gotta go here if you havent already.

If you are in the area and are looking for an amazing coffee shop, look no further. Walking up to the actual spot looks simplistic, but the brews and pastries are anything but. I did not get a chance to try all the brews but I did get a chance to taste their vanilla latte and it was deliciousA friend of mine actually works here and recommended I tried the bagel bombs. It was absolutely delicious. It was warm and in the center theres this little nugget of cheese that just adds excellent salty flavors to the warm bagel.Definitely check this place out! You wont be disappointed.Also the owner is a Prior service Marine so O thought that was cool:)

Quaint little spot. Parking can be tricky

Such an awesome atmosphere, feels like such a cool getaway even though it’s really conveniently located! Plenty of seating among beautiful trees. Super friendly staff! And this is the best pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had. If I lived in this town I’d be here all the time.

Top 3 coffee places in OC!

Great coffee. Remember bring credit card, no cash accepted.

Best coffee!! Wow loved my cold brew my wife got a chai tea that was so amazing!! Super cute place you feel like you are in New Orleans or something great vibes!

We had a Hidden House location right by our house that closed, and weve been heartbroken ever since. We occasionally make it down to this one, and its always just as good as we remembered. This location is very cute, but more importantly, they make my favorite cappuccino in the world. Yes, including Italy. The espresso is unbelievably flavorful. I dont know how they do it, but I hope they keep doing it!

The best coffee in town.

If youre a specialty coffee fanatic and live in south Orange county you know hidden house. If you dont know hidden house I question your coffee loyalty. Hidden house has been pumping out single origin, lightly in-house roasted coffees since the beginning and there not showing any signs of slowing down. The coffee selection rotates a tiny bit as they run out of green coffee but you are almost always going to find Ethiopian on the shelves. Family, and veteran owned this place feels like a slice of old school America. In addition to great coffee you must try every pastry the offer... Theyre all made in-house as well by an on staff pastry chef... Dont worry about that diet for one day and literary buy one of reach to sample with your friends. You wont be disappointed.

The coffee here is great and they have a couple unique options. The baked goods are so well done and I try to get something new each time I go. Great atmosphere and its in the beautiful historic area of San Juan Capistrano.
