My favorites are the Iced Tiramisu Latte, Bombay Sandwich, and Dubai Iced Chocolate Latte -- all are delicious and definitely worth trying. It's also an ideal place to sit and spend some time. They have a nice seating area, and with Wi-Fi available, it's a great spot to bring your laptop and get some work done while enjoying a coffee. Friendly service, good food and drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere keep me coming back!

Undoubtedly, my favorite go-to caffeine booster for the past several months! But honestly, the…read morebiggest boost comes from the staff, their warm smiles and the wonderful greetings by name make every visit feel special. Their specialty lattes are all amazing, but my absolute favorite is the Iced Tiramisu Latte. It's not too sweet, which is exactly how I like it, and the coffee itself is bold yet incredibly smooth. Great coffee, even better people, and always a wonderful start to my day!

That's when I stumbled across Hidden Grounds Coffee House... and let's just say, this place is not so "hidden" once you find it. I ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese toast, and every single component was fresh, high quality, and dialed in. I added avocado (highly recommend), and it just took everything to the next level. Simple, clean, and absolutely delicious. Then came the honeybee latte, hot and wow. Whatever they're doing behind the scenes with this coffee, it works. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and honestly one of those drinks you think about later in the day. This is a non-negotiable order. And because discipline is overrated on a work trip, I added an almond croissant. I should've gotten two. It's filled with something magical, I'm not even going to pretend I know what it is, but it's rich, flaky, and completely worth it. If you're anywhere near Hidden Grounds, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place knows exactly what it's doing.

I have no issue with them taking pictures but personally would have appreciated if I could get my order through first. I did like how spacious this place was making it easy to find a spot to work in without feeling crowded. While I didnt try the sandwiches, they looked really good and Id be interested in seeing if they taste as good as they look (hoping they do!)

New to the area and still trying to find a go-to coffee shop, we decided to try Koko Loko. Will I…read morebe returning? Probably not. The staff member / barista seemed as if they hated their job. It was around 10am on a Sunday and understandably there were a few people already in the shop, but the staff member felt a bit cold and overall, quite miserable. The coffee was pretty gross as well, which could be a byproduct of the barista hating that they were working that day. I am a sucker for a fun drink and wanted to try the cookie and cream latte, not knowing it was just a cup of milk with the smallest splash of coffee and mixed with crushed up cookies. I felt as if I was drinking a child's recipe, with each attempted sip clogging my straw due to the cookie pieces. If you don't like coffee this is great, because it tasted exactly like what was advertised - milk and cookies. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but my partner ordered something completely different and it didn't taste great either. The taste of burnt coffee was prominent, making it hard to consume as well. The one positive is the environment seems like a great place to work remotely / study, as that is what many patrons were doing. The open-ness and bright atmosphere is great, but the beverages and customer service not so much.

The don't accept reservations, but you can put your name on the waitlist queue and they will text you a few minutes before to let you know that their table is available. I'd avoid going here on Valentine's Day as it was impossible to get off that waitlist! I've gone in the evening but their brunch menu is definitely better. Service is great and you can scan the QR code for their menu. For brunch, they have a lot of options from crêpes to omelettes. This place is not a BYOB but they have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails on the menu. Decor is modern, airy, and of course - pink! They also have a separate café and pastry counter if you're just stopping in and want something quicker instead of sitting down. On our most recent visit, I had the Dubai chocolate pistachio crêpe, and it was really delicious, not too sweet or too rich. And I also had the strawberry Matcha, which I enjoyed. I think this is a great spot for a weekend date, girls brunch, or just an every day indulgence. Looking forward to my next visit.

I've heard many good things about this place, so I finally stopped in!…read more I ordered the pink matcha, which is their strawberry matcha. It was over $10 which is pretty steep for a strawberry matcha. I also didn't love that they left the muddled strawberries in the drink because it kept clogging up the straw and made it hard to drink. Not a bad taste, but the matcha was overpowered by the strawberry. Staff was very friendly though and the interior is super cute. I'll be back to try the pistachio latte!
