Hidden House - San Juan Capistrano
Tucked away in old downtown San Juan Capistrano near the train tracks is Hidden House, a charming coffee spot that perfectly matches its name. With its quaint treehouse-like appearance, this spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating, but we recommend sitting outside to enjoy the spacious yard shaded by trees.

Located near North Beach in San Clemente and the start of the PCH trail, it's perfect for grabbing your coffee to-go and enjoying a scenic walk.
