I have no issue with them taking pictures but personally would have appreciated if I could get my order through first.

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!)

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.

She engaged in conversation with me, as I am not from Jersey and helped me with the menu clarity. There is no parking lot here, but alot of street parking.

They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! 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.

Good vibes, good energy, very friendly & accommodating staff. They offer standard dishes for a cafe, both breakfast & lunch menu, treat & snacks for all, & water bowls for dogs. They give them complimentary treats & a toy that they can keep. A very friendly & comfortable environment. They have a policy about no aggressive dogs, which is good, but they also don't automatically react just because your dog barks while getting used to the environment. We had the breakfast bowl, a bacon, egg, & cheese (not pictured), & lemonade. Our puppy had Ziba's Beef Bowl. My recommendation would be get the Breakfast Bowl with no or less onions. They were a little overpowering. Grades: Breakfast Bowl: A Bacon, Egg, & Cheese: A Lemonade: A+ Espresso: A Ziba's Beef Bowl: B *Based upon how much of it he ate & seemed to enjoy it*

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.

The chai is amazing--it's aromatic and captures the essence of a proper chai. The Rose Chai was very good too, perfectly balanced!
