CHAI DRINKS
MASALA CHAI
When Hidden Grounds came to life in 2013, our vision was clear: we wanted to offer authentic masala chai. To achieve this, we turned to the most trusted sources - our moms - and borrowed their cherished recipes. Crafted with Wagh Bakri black tea, aromatic masala spices, a spoonful of sugar, and a rich blend of 20% water and 80% milk, our masala chai is an experience in itself. While we only serve it hot, for those who love their chai iced, our chai latte provides an unparalleled cold indulgence.
ROSE CHAI LATTE
The allure of chai meets the romantic notes of rose in our Rose Chai Latte. This enchanting blend marries the authentic taste of Maya Tea's Chai Concentrate with the nostalgic charm of Roohafza, all harmoniously melded with creamy Hudson Valley's Milk. Dive into the comforting warmth of the hot version or the refreshing chill of the cold one. PS: If you're ordering the hot version for delivery, bear in mind that the temperature might not be perfect upon arrival – but the symphony of flavors remains a timeless delight.
DIRTY CHAI LATTE
The chai flavor in many U.S. coffee shops has often been defined by the available commercial concentrates, which sometimes fall short of capturing the true essence of chai. Our solution? We proudly present the Dirty Chai Latte, a harmonious blend of Maya Tea's Chai Concentrate and a shot of our signature Rosebud Espresso. This fusion not only captures the authentic sweetness, spice, and creamy milk texture of traditional chai but also introduces the deep, rich notes of our espresso. Choose from either our hot or cold versions. PS: If you're ordering the hot version for delivery, bear in mind that the temperature might not be perfect upon arrival – but the taste is undeniably worth the experience!
CHAI LATTE
The chai flavor at many U.S. coffee shops has often been determined by the available commercial concentrates. Sadly, these concentrates often don't do justice to the authentic taste of chai. We're proud to serve our Chai Latte using Maya Tea's Chai Concentrate. They've truly captured the essence of classic chai – a delightful blend of sweetness, spice, and a creamy milk texture. Choose from our hot or cold versions. PS: If ordering the hot version for delivery, please note that the temperature might not be optimal upon arrival – but we promise it's still a treat worth savoring!

Consistently delicious, comparatively unique drinks in a comfortable, well lit, visibly LGBTQ+ friendly cafe.

I love a sweet dessert tier latte as much as the next proverbial white girl, but sometimes you want something that isn't made with syrup.

The New Orleans chicory blends are amazing and perfect for something different (the cardamom is excellent, the rose is exceptional). The chai is excellent and does not come out of a carton.

This place is a staple for my friend group. They love the coffee options and the tasty food as well. The convenience of this location to their house is impeccable. They took me there one day and I got the lox avocado toast and oh my gosh. We were talking about some serious things but I couldn’t be serious because toast was WAYY too good.
