    Honey bee latte
    Sophia H.

    I got the honey bee latte: the cinnamon and honey notes were perfect with the fragrant and creamy coffee. Also tried some of their pastries. The pistachio doughnut is light, not too sweet, and a great pair with the latte. The interior is very cute with plants and a modern look. There's minimal seating inside the shop, but the staff is so sweet. Definitely recommend this shop!

    COLD BREW COFFEE
    Gab G.

    Have tried and liked their other locations in NJ, and was happy to see one open downtown. Cold brew is fantastic. Will be back to try more drinks (I love their iced taro latte) and pastries!

    Recommend trying the ginger chai and masala chai with their regular milk (made fresh on the stovetop). I wasn't a huge fan of the consistency and flavor of the oat milk they use so if you can handle the dairy get regular milk! They also have gulab jamun donuts and other pastries. This location is smaller than their other ones but glad they finally have a spot in Manhattan!

    My love affair with HG began in 2022; I attended a Yelp Elite Event at the Williamsburg location. The event catered to three obsessions for me: Williamsburg, Chai and heavenly pastries. It was there that I met the owner, Anand and was impressed with his courteous disposition and that made a huge impression on me. Today, I decided to visit the East Village location; on a rainy day off I needed the warmth of HG's chai and hospitality. I noticed a familiar employee from Williamsburg, Chels. I asked about the new coffees I read that HG is offering: Colombia Honey and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.which this location did not carry. No worries, I'll plan a trip to Williamsburg to try them..I then decided to try the Brown Sugar Matcha and a bagel with scallion cream cheese. The matcha was expertly made, however, the taste was just not to my liking. I hardly tasted the brown sugar. To be fair, I'm not a huge matcha lover and I'm trying to acquire a taste for it. The bagel with scallion cream cheese was scrumptious; the scallion cc had such a delicious taste and so fresh!!! Absolutely worth the cheat!! This location is one fourth the size of Williamsburg ( I love the umbrella adorned ceiling at Bklyn location) and a very small dining area but very cozy on a rainy day. The one consistency is the customer service: top notch and the personnel always make me feel welcomed. Just great! Special shout out to Chels and Mo. And... Anand. the mark of a true great leader is through his people, service and product. Hidden Ground excels at all three! HG: take R train to 8th St NYU stop. Exit through Astor Place and Bdwy, left at Lafayette and you are there!

    Came across this coffee shop through instagram. A follower kept posting about the New Orleans cold brew. It is made with chicory coffee. I am still unsure what chicory is but I was heaitant to taste it as it has notes of nuttiness to it I was told. I told the barista about my nut allergy so we went back and forth debating if it was a good idea I get it. So at first I ordered just a regular iced latte and then I said I would buy the viral drink just to taste it. When I took a small sip I knew it was not for me. Oh well. The Barista was nice enough to wipe the machines down as she knew about my allergies. At first when I walked into this coffee shop I was surprised about how small but cute it was. There was no one at the counter for a few min that I was there. I was a bit confused and thought it was a place to only order from a qr code or something. But then finally someone did come out. She was very nice I will say. This coffee shop has more than just coffee. They have pastries and actual food as well.

    Great place for chai and addition to the neighborhood. Here's what you need to know: 1. Small place with local pastries with incredible flavors 2. Stovetop chai is an option... this is not a drill! 3. Honestly better quality and more variety than some of the other chai places that have popped up recently. 4. Limited seating. Meant to be more grab and go.

    NEW ORLEANS BREW SWEET CARAMEL BREW
    Dana L.

    Might be my new favorite iced coffee in the city! So many unique menu items that we'll have to try next time, including chai but also taro and matcha drinks! We had the sweet caramel and New Orleans style brew and they were both incredible!!! Both were lightly sweet and deeply nutty and creamy and just delicious! The barista was efficient and friendly and recommended the sweet caramel brew for me. Just wish they had a couple more locations uptown, but it's still worth the trek

    Lavender cinnamon roll
    Evelyn L.

    I absolutely loveeeeeeee their New Orleans cold brew! It is so good. I come here whenever I want to treat myself. This time I brought my sisters to try their drinks and sweets. We tried their rose and pistachio donut (liked the rose one more) and their lavender cinnamon croissant. You should definitely share these as they're pretty sweet and heavy but they are pretty good! I've also tried their blueberry donut in the past and enjoyed it. In terms of their service, the last time I came the girl at the front desk was not as friendly and seemed to be bothered when I asked for a straw/ napkin but this time there was a new employee who was super friendly and happy to answer questions.

    Rose cardamom donut
    Sara B.

    Randomly stopped by this place while walking and I'm so glad I did! The iced rose chai and rose cardamom donut were both delicious! I will go back and try some of their other items and donuts next time. I still dream about the donut...

    very small modern coffee + chai shop. there are a couple seats by the window and standing room for a few people. this Hidden Grounds is very much a grab-n-go location for your chai, coffee, and small bites needs. there's a touchscreen to order, i didn't use it and ordered directly with the barista...i find touchscreens in a place to be impersonal and weird especially in a coffee spot. if i was going the whole "minimum contact"--i'd just order via an app if available. however, i get why there is a touchscreen especially if there's a line or busy, but coffee is personal and requires some interaction like asking what the coffee roast is or extra water in an Americano etc. stopped in, recently. ordered a black Americano hot and it was solidly good and warmed me up on one of the cool Fall afternoons. the coffee was a medium roast, I believe. pretty smooth and does the job of caffeine + warmth in 12 oz. there's also a few small food items like a variety of donuts and a cheddar biscuit--definitely will be back to try one of those at some point. the staffer was personable and friendly. worth a stop by if you're in the Astor Place vicinity and needs some caffeine or calories OR both.

    Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

    I came here today to experience local matcha from Kijitora, a local matcha place that was all about…read morecats! Everything was cat They had a lot of merchandise dedicated to cats! The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.
