Hidden Grounds Chai & Coffee House

Hidden Grounds coffee is simply great. The Filter Coffee is my favorite coffee in the city hands down. Plus, the inner ambience is quite nice, a little break from the hustle and bustle outside.

Coffee was good, staff nice, they should clean the glass on the outside and in, was filthy and made the place look run down

Cardamom chai latte was so good!

AMAZING, i’ve looked at the reviews and it is downplayed. Honestly, great coffee. Baristas are doing God’s work. Ive been coming here for almost a year and i love it. If you have a sweet tooth like me the Sweet Carmel Brew is great. i will continue to come here. The reason why the cup on the right is lower is because i drank from it out of excitement. Sorry.

they did NOT PLAYYYYY with the savory avocado toast! i’ve been to so many coffee shops that would barely put a thin layer of avocado and charge me $16 but that’s not happening here at all. it was thick and had many flavors that complimented each other so well. lowkey half of my avocado fell on the table, i mentally applied the 5 second rule, and still finished it. their taro latte was sweet and creamy and i loved it as well. definitely coming back again.

Fives across-the-board for this very cute and kitchy coffee shop. They have more than three options for Chai, which I love because why wouldn’t you? I had a stove top chai and it was incredible although it was very hot. It was very good. My fiancé enjoyed the latte. It was rich and creamy he said he thoroughly enjoyed it which is a lot coming from him. Definitely gonna be back and if not for the coffee definitely for the customer service it was pretty chill and laid-back and they were very helpful with suggestions on what to get. And probably would stood out the most was that it felt like I was going to a friends house for coffee because of the personal touches within the coffee shop like some of the pictures and your water cup being glass and just a very homey vibe with a bit of cultural flair. Enjoyed the umbrellas on the ceiling so check those out if you visit.

Their Williamsburg location is nicely decorated with plants and floor-to-ceiling windows. No doubt this is my preferred location. Their staff were very sweet and passionately recommended me different pastries.＊Dirty Chai, Chai LatteHidden Grounds is known for the variety of chai menu. I’ve tried Iced Dirty Chai at their Jersey City location and I really loved it. The top of the chai was so foamy. The drinks were both lightly sweetened with a hint of spices. In terms of sweet levels, chai latte is sweeter than dirty chai.＊Tiramisu Donut, Blueberry DonutI don’t eat donuts but these ones surprised me. It was like a donut-shaped muffin. They were not too sweet, and you could tell there wasn’t any artificial flavoring.Here are the two staff favorite flavors: the blueberry one was served warm with blueberries studded inside.While my mom loved the blueberry donut, I preferred the tiramisu one. To me, it was more like a chai tiramisu donut as I could taste a kick of spices.＊Salmon Everything Bagel SandwichThey offer plain/everything bagel and plain/scallion cream cheese. The bagel was warm and fluffy. The everything seasoning wasn’t very fragrant but complemented well with salmon and plain cream chese. A solid savory choice.＊Vegan Tahini Choc Chip CookieVegan and gluten free. It was chewy and not too sweet. The seasalt on top complexified the flavor notes of chocolate chips.＊Monkey BreadMy first time having a monkey bread. After heating it up, the top edges were nicely crisped. It tasted like a mix of cinnamon roll and french toast imo.

Randomly was driving by couple of months ago & decided to walk in. The shop is nice & cozy with nice decor. The donuts are all fantastic! I recommend anyone to try one of each selection they offer.

Parking: Plenty of street parking available outside.

Stopped in for coffee and donuts but failed to take a photo of the latter! The espresso is good—less citrusy and more cacao notes which is my personal preference. I ordered the pistachio and blueberry donuts. Both were reallyyyy/overly sweet hence the lower rating for food. Good ambiance with solid wifi for working although the tables to put your laptop on are very small/wobbly
