Its a great hipster spot but gluten free and organic shouldn't mean lack of flavor. The food needs something extra, not bad but not sure if we will be back.

A hidden gem in Cambria! Cute hidden location with excellent food. It was so delicious I’m going back two weeks in a row.

Cambria is such a charming little town so we were looking for an equally charming coffee shop and stopped into Hidden Kitchen. Turns out, it’s not that hidden and actually easy to locate and I just discovered that if you cannot find the spot in Cambria, they have another place in Cayucos. Eating here feels like you are part of the local scene and I love how each dish is made with a health first concept though they certainly don’t miss out on excellent taste. The decor is rustic, mostly outside seating and I plan to come here again as soon as we get back into the area. Don’t miss this gem.

I've never had better waffles! Pretty patio seating with lots of vines. I watched Anna's hummingbirds flit around during the whole meal. It's the kind of place where you just walk up and order outside, like a food truck. Best for small groups.

We were reccomended to try The Hidden Kitchen. We drive down to cayucos and the line was down the street, so i suggested we try the Cambria location.
We found parking and we walked in to a short line and were able to snag a seat and chow down.
The weirdo waffles were perfect, the San Luis sunrise had an amazing homemade sauce, and we got 2 smoothies that were thick and delicious.
I was clued in that if you can't find seating there is seating just around the corner in the historical museum area.
We would definitely go back but probably share a smoothie because they were so thick and filling.
