Hello Friends!

The Hidden Kitchen is a 100% gluten free cafe featuring all-organic, sustainably-sourced fare. We specialize in bioregional blue corn waffles, hand pressed blue corn tacos, and superfood, super delicious smoothies to satisfy a broad range of taste preferences. Our menu is very simple- the flavors of our food however, extend beyond simplicity, adding lovely combinations of both bold and subtle tastes to excite the palate.

We are here to offer a healthy meeting place for our community, family, friends, and newcomers to share in conversation, connect through experience, and gather around the one thing that has consistently brought many groups of people together: delicious food!

Earth care

We function with care of our planet at the forefront of our day-to-day operation. We source our food organically, as locally as possible, and as bioregionally as we can. This means that much of our food can be found at the local farmers markets, and is most-likely growing, or capable of growing naturally and natively in our beautiful California backyard. In order to honor our native traditions, we elected a blue corn strain that has been growing on the West Coast as one of the original 900 grains available to humankind. We limit our plastic use in the kitchen and offer only compostable and paper products to be taken away. Our water is recycled by caring for the plants we have on-site and all food waste is composted for chicken feed or soil nutrients!

People care

Our dream to coordinate with the community stems from our deep values of gathering and upholding a feeling of belonging. The Hidden Kitchen provides a space where connection, dialogue, and education are encouraged through conversation and guest talks, events, and other happenings! Local creators and makers are supported in their trades by showcasing their products in our small retail market and during seasonal pop up events. Healthy lifestyles are promoted through information gathering, shared experiences, and nurturing food. We welcome all ages, all religions, all genders, and all human beings (and dogs too!) to enjoy the creative and fun space we are lucky to share in.

Fair Share

The Hidden Kitchen prides itself on its belief system of fairness and sharing. Not only sharing in the space, but sharing ourselves and who we are with our community. We offer our truest selves to the community we are part of and share our knowledge, our connections, and our space with all who wander into this sacred space.
