Hide Out Café — Restaurant in Walnut

Finally!!!! After so many times of making plans to come out to check this place out and not being able to make it, I finally did.

First of all the location is in a plaza of restaurants and little shops but mainly restaurants. There's plenty of parking as the parking lot is big. I was able to get a parking right away upon arriving. As soon as I got to the Cafe I signed up for the waiting list. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated.

Service was good, one of the staff members approached me and did mentioned that we would be called as soon as our table was ready. Once we were seated our server gave us a few mins to go over our menu. He did take our drinks order right away as we were ready for it. We had the Boba Bear set, which honestly I came just for that :D Our order was taken and our server was friendly and would check we were okay.

Food wise, our order consisted of the #Hash-tag waffle fries which included waffle cut fries topped with cheddar cheese, minced pork and a sunny side up egg. Flavor wise, I really liked it but I did feel the taste of the minced pork was too overpowering on the fries. Our next dish was the mild popcorn chicken, this one we all enjoyed. The next one was the Bbq Pork Belly w/rice and salad; this one consists of pork belly with a house-made bbq sauce topped with a sunny side up egg. Another similar came out but with out the sunny side up egg as my son does not like his egg like that. The pork belly was nice and tender and the salad's dressing had a unique taste, delicious though. For dessert! We did Coco Waffle which had a belgian waffle with double chocolate waffle which made a delicious Coco waffle served with some yummy ice cream with pecan pieces. I do have to mention that the serving size is very generous and can feed 4 ppl lol. I did order also the Blueberry Waffle for my parents as it is not too sweet for them.

Again I am extremely happy with our visit, our experience! I definitely recommend anyone to come out. It's such a cute place with delicious and yummy food. Just don't forget to take a photo with the bear at the entrance on...

Absolutely PHENOMENAL spot! I came here while waiting for my room to be available at the nearby motel 6 and was pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place is. The food is reasonably priced relative to portion size and quality (which is through the roof!). The staff is extremely helpful and kind and were quick to answer all questions I had. I was happy to see that they have many outlets throughout the establishment so I could charge my devices, and they also offer free, FAST WiFi. The bathroom is clean and did not make me feel uncomfortable like most public restrooms do. Now let me get to the good part, the FOOD! I ordered a rose latte and a rice bun burger with pork belly. I asked for them to make my latte warm, but not too hot, and it arrived at the perfect temperature. I was greeted with the smell of roses and the taste of a full bodied, creamy latte. Presentation was 10/10, as was taste. Then they presented me with my burger, and the smell alone FLOORED me. It was love at first bite, and the juicy pork belly contrasting with the sticky yet crunchy rice bun created a great juxtaposition of flavors in my mouth. It was also filled with the perfect amount of fresh leafy greens. It was accompanied by absolutely exquisite fries, which offered the perfect balance of crunchy, soft and starchy, and salty. The ambiance in this coffee shop is also superb. I was met with the relaxing sound of jazz piano, comforting music that reminds me of my childhood. The people around me are in conversation. I can hear the happiness in their voices but they aren’t being loud enough to annoy me or sound obnoxious. Sublime energy indeed. While this place is a little hard to find, nestled in a plaza between a motel 6 and a freeway, it is a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of society around us. This wonderful little cafe is definitely true its name. I believe that this establishment will be my hide out in many years to come. I feel safe here. This is...

3.5 but I'm rounding up b/c of good service. I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and a table by the window was available. I came here to work on a project with someone and the atmosphere was so accommodating.

I put in an order of macrons (earl grey, rose, salted caramel, lavender, and green tea) All were tasty and not too sweet. My only comment would be that I saw the staff member taking the per-packaged macrons out of the freezer, came in a pack of 12 per flavor. Even though still flavorful, tasty, and not too sweet, I secretly hoped that they were freshly made.

I also ordered my usual milk tea, no ice, and less sweet. My items were brought to my table. The milk tea was yummy as in not watered-down and the right amount of sweetness.

Later #waffle cut fries were ordered. My goodness, the portion was HUGE! My project buddy and I couldn't finish. This kind of reminded me of chili cheese fries except with an egg on top, interesting touch. The ingredients weren't too greasy, but I probably couldn't eat this often for my health's sake.

Overall, we occupied this space for over 4 hours and no one hurried us out. In fact, the staff came by a few times to see if we needed anything else.

I'd come here again, but probably not before trying out another place. It was a bit difficult to have a conversation because of sound bouncing in all different directions as well as the blenders running behind the...
