Nice coffee and food with cozy environment. Icy cappucino and spicy cheese biscuit is recommended.

I came early on a Tuesday morning and found street parking right in front of the coffeeshop. I went in and asked the staff for a pour over that wasn't very acidic and he gave his recommendation. The coffee was very good! I also tried a tiramisu gulab jamun donut. It was sweet, but not over the top. I loved it. The coffee shop itself was very clean and had a very relaxing feel. I would love to visit again.

This place is never not teaming with college students and I feel Hidden Grounds is a bit of an institution in New Brunswick. The coffee is good, the service is good, but I'm usually not able to find seating. It doesn't deter me from stopping in though. The bamboo lined coffee bar gives a warm zen vibe. It's my tried and true a cup of coffee whenever I'm in town.

Stopped in here while traveling for work and was pleasantly surprised. I had the New Orleans cold brew coffee and it was absolutely delicious, nice selection of baked goods too, would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Non dairy milk options available

Just wonderful. Visited from out of town for Dad's procedure, and found a dog-friendly spot that was quiet and clean. Had a capp and rose chai, along with bagel sandwich and avocado toast -- maybe a bit pricey but def worth it. Got some work done, stable internet, low-key service, welcoming staff. Pup got some uninterrupted snooze time while we waited too!

Really great quality coffee. I love the iced honey lavender latte and salmon bagel with extra veggies on it. The rose chai is also amazing. Only thing I wish they had a bit more seating.
Meh. A combination of bad service and stale food. Not coming here again. The croissant was stale, seemed as if it was from the day before, and the flatwhite was anything but

The place really helped give this place a 2. Lovely place, fun place for folks. The downer were literally the coffees. My husband got the cortado which was horribly extra acidic, to the point that it was undrinkable for him or I. I got the lavender coffee drink with oat milk, iced - it tasted as though the coffee was burnt. It was also thick, which was weird to drink. Nice staff member, but overall, will not recommend or come back.

Haven’t been to this location but I really enjoyed my New Orleans coffee. And the service here is absolutely fantastic. My barista Rosalina gave me some great recommendations. And made me a delicious cup of coffee. You can tell she’s incredibly passionate about coffee and what she does. Will definitely be back soon!

I love this place (both the one down easton and up it) - their matcha lattes are so good and I love to add rose into it. The music is great (totally not biased to the Smiths or Cranberries) too! It’s a great place to hunker down and study if you find an open table and the staff’s always pleasant.
My friend took me here to grab coffee. I dont drink coffee so I got myself some hot chocolate. I was surprised when they asked what kind of milk I would like. I received my hot chocolate with a heart foam on top it was so cute. Not many people but there are people chilling and studying.

This is the larger of the 2 locations with plenty of room to hang out, catch up on some work, meet up with some friends, & enjoy great tasting caffeinated beverages. I've always encountered friendly staff & great service. I haven't been in a little while since having my son but they did have a quick self-service cart for those that need to grab a coffee on-the-go.

You need to try the New Orleans cold brew with cream, I promise you will never be the same after.

Probably the best premium coffee spot in the middle of New Brunswick. Coffee is flavourful and well made. Premium coffee, premium price and a quirky vinyl LP themed backdrop. Worth a visit

So I'm not even sure what kind of review to give here. I constantly read that they had vegan options. It's just kind of important to me because I work in New Brunswick as in a few minutes walking distance from my desk. So this was my first time there. The employee was friendly and polite but told me there were zero vegan options and they got rid of all of them so there was really nothing I could order other than non-dairy coffee. I said but I thought you had some vegan options he said no we got rid of all of them. I was like well can you make something vegan and he said not really there are no vegan options. Then I asked him about the Bombay Sandwich and he said yeah but it comes with cheese . I guess I'm grateful he understood what vegan means? I said okay can you make it without the cheese and he said yes. The sandwich was really good. My dirty chai was okay. I wanted something really cool to drink with my sandwich other than iced coffee which I can't stand but they didn't have anything other than tap water. Which was free by the way. If they really did get rid of all the vegan options this will not be a return trip for me. But I guess you can customize one of the sandwiches like I did. I don't know.... just weird.
