Hidden House changes the espresso blend with the seasons.

Curator’s note
Ben Briggs came home from four years in the Marine Corps with no coffee background and opened the first Hidden House in San Juan Capistrano in 2010. In 2016 the company bought two ChocXO stores in Costa Mesa and Lake Forest while this Santa Ana cafe and roastery was being built, and Briggs later sold both.
The Coffee
The house espresso changes through the year as fresh coffee starts to roll in, and a Roaster's Choice bag leaves the pick to the production team from whatever is rotating that season.

The Vibe
The room is a restored 1914 brick warehouse with the original brick left up and the wood ceilings left high, the shop saying plainly that it likes old buildings. Outside, red brick under clay tile with a small blind-embossed logo plate makes the same point quietly, and everything the brand sells comes off the 18-kilo US Roaster Corp machine a few steps from the bar.
