I tried the elotes blue corn waffle, the Santa Lucia taco, and their seasonal smoothie. Everything was amazing!! The waffle was probably my favorite:) the atmosphere was also very nice, inside and out!

Very friendly stuff, all gluten free food, decoration of the food was very neat, yummy food, great food & seating outside. Definitely a place to go to if you are around this area. Drip Coffee was ok, we had one Waffle, one breakfast burrito and a berry smoothie

Truly one of the best brunch spots In the area ! The most Delicious ,savory waffles made out of blue corn flour ! Their patio is across the street from the beach which is super convenient if you want to walk off your food afterwards :)

A true hidden gem so close to the beach, never had blue corn waffles before but these were a hit!! I recommend the cowboy ones!! Also the smoothies are epic in size and flavor!

The Hidden Kitchen in Cayucos is the perfect spot for breakfast by the beach. Located right on Cayucos State Beach, this place serves some of the best waffles in Cayucos, along with amazing savory and sweet tacos. The vibe is lively and casual, full of people comparing orders and enjoying the California coast atmosphere. The food, service, and overall experience are excellent. It’s a little pricey, but absolutely worth it for the quality and beachside experience.
