The Hidden Kitchen - Cambria

Its a great hipster spot but gluten free and organic shouldn't mean lack of flavor. The food needs something extra, not bad but not sure if we will be back.

Casual patio seating, after you order at the "counter". We tried two different waffles. The Morro Melt was the most unusual and yummy combination of mostly savory with a little sweet and spicy (waffle, turkey, melted cheese, sauteed onions, avocado and arugula). Really enjoyed it. My friend got the Weirdo Waffle which was mostly sweet with a little savory (waffle, banana, PB, syrup and bacon). Very good and peanuty. The staff were friendly even though we got there a bit before closing. Nice that everything is organic and gluten free. Their hours are limited though so go when you've got the chance if you want something you won't find elsewhere.
