Hidden Grounds Chai & Coffee House

I had high hopes for this coffee shop, but it was a huge letdown. First off, the coffee is way overpriced for what you get. It tasted bland and uninspired,nothing special about it at all.Then there's the wait time. I understand busy days, but waiting this long for a simple coffee order was a bit bothersome.I was particularly excited about trying the pistachio donut, but that turned out to be another disappointment. The donut had the consistency of cake batter—dense and heavy, not light and airy like a donut should be. It wasn’t bad in terms of flavor, but calling it a donut is very misleading. It was more like a small pistachio cake shaped like a donut.Overall, my experience here was quite poor. Between the overpriced, bland coffee and the misleadingly named pastries, I don't see myself coming back.

The Avocado Toast and the Cappuccino I had were very good. I wish they had Real Sugar. They could provide better cutlery. I had a hard time cutting the crust with the cheap plastic fork and knife.
The food was reasonably priced but wish they spent some money on better knives and forks.

A unique coffee shop with different types of coffees, teas, and espresso.
The Masala chai and cardamom chai were delicious. Perhaps a little too much milk but that is personal preference. I encourage you to check this place out and try something different.

Love this place and their selection of authentic Chais and also snacks.

My family liked masala chai and ginger chai. The coffee was good too!

I had one of their regular ice latte with oat milk and it was delightfully smooth! It’s not aggressively strong either or bitter which I love! Their pistachio donut has been possibly my favorite savory snack they have, it is not as sweet which how I like it to be since I’m not a sweet person personally, but the frosting they use it on top gives it a good kick to enjoy. Will definitely be coming here next time!

Good coffee but the music is played too loud in here for a café, had to leave :( More suited to a bar or club :)

I’ve been here a couple times, friendly staff. Masala chai, cardamom and ginger chai are all wonderful. I haven’t tried the food there yet. Nice calm

Been to the New Brunswick and bothHoboken locations a few times to do work and have a quick sip/bite (Some of the best cold brew creations in HB imo). Amazing service/experience every time. One of the owners had me try one of their new gulab jamun based donut creations. Delicious!

The best coffee around. It’s robust and delish. I order the sweet Carmel cold brew. It almost tastes chocolatey it’s so good. Great staff and environment to work from as well. Highly recommend!

I had the Indian filter coffee and pistachio donut, and they were a perfect pick-me-up on a cold day. Similar to another review, I'd agree that having the option of sugar packets would be nice opposed to 3 racks of sweetener. The ambiance is great to work from, and the music playlist is fitting to the theme of the coffee shop.
