San Juan Capistrano

Hidden Hot Spots

There is more to this quaint city than the historic Mission. San Juan Capistrano is filled with many hidden treasures waiting for you to discover...including Hidden Coffee in the Los Rios District!


Itinerary

  1. Start with coffee and a pastry at Ellies Table at the historic Egan House. It's a short stroll south on Camino Capistrano. The coffee is worth the walk and the pastries are outstanding.

  2. Spend time antiquing at The Old Barn Antique Mall. This hidden treasure is a short block away from Ellies Table. Dealers offer a wide variety of collectables and antiques. Open 10 am to 5 pm.

  3. Treat yourself to lunch at Trevor’s at the Tracks. Located in the old train depot. Dine indoors, or outside on their patio. Select from a menu which is “locally acquired and globally inspired.”

  4. Enjoy a quick detour across the tracks in the Los Rios Historic District. There are fun shops to explore or you can duck into Hidden Coffee House for a cold brewed iced latte for the trip home.
