I don't know if it's the location, but y'all need to check out this coffee spot. It deserves more positive reviews. Trust me, the drinks are amazing. Banana lattes always catch my eye. Most times I am disappointed but I still go for it when I see it on a menu. And I am so glad I did because this one was the best one I ever had. Every sip, I can taste the banana flavor along with the espresso. My girlfriend enjoyed her pistachio latte. And the best part, the prices are lower than other coffee in the area. The cashier/barista was very helpful. The interior space has an eclectic mix of chairs and tables great for studying or doing some work. I plan to come back and try their matcha latte.

The architecture and the decor is stunning and gives an elevated feeling. It's the perfect spot to hang out with friends and catch up, read a book, or study. Theres a small selection of pastries and a vast selection of desserts. We didn't end up getting the desserts, but did get the blueberry cheese danish, and the chili cheese danish. Both were delicious, although I hadn't seen the chili cheese one anywhere else, making it unique. For my coffee I got the honeycomb hive with vanilla foam...and I liked it so much I got it twice. It was absolutely delicious and something I would totally go out of my way for. The honey isn't too overpowering and is balanced amazingly with the vanilla. The only thing to note is that if you are in a rush, then maybe order online or go somewhere else. Despite it not being super crowded, it did take some time for our drinks to come out. Overall I'd recommend! And don't miss the honeycomb hive!

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.

On our way to the café, we were pleasantly surprised by a tour of Rutgers. The staff at Hidden Grounds are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They're particularly known for their chai, so my friend ordered a Rose Chai over ice, while I opted for a Hot Dirty Chai. Another friend chose the Honey Bee Latte, also over ice. The chai is amazing--it's aromatic and captures the essence of a proper chai. The Rose Chai was very good too, perfectly balanced! Overall, it's a great coffee shop with a lovely space for everyone to sit and enjoy their drinks.

It ended up being the perfect weekday spot to sit and yap for a while. We originally planned to just grab coffee and a sweet treat, but once we got there, we ended up staying for lunch too. The decor is so cute and the overall atmosphere is really nice. It feels like one of those places you can hang out in without feeling rushed. The service was also great and everyone was super friendly and attentive. Only thing to note is the service charge. Not an issue that it exists, but it wasn't super clear before paying. I did notice after the fact that it's explained on the back of the plaque with the menu QR code. We ended up double tipping, which was fine because the service was great, but it's just something to be aware of for next time. Overall, definitely a spot I'd go back to for coffee, food, and a good catch up session.

My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.
