Their Williamsburg location is nicely decorated with plants and floor-to-ceiling windows. No doubt this is my preferred location. Their staff were very sweet and passionately recommended me different pastries.＊Dirty Chai, Chai LatteHidden Grounds is known for the variety of chai menu. I’ve tried Iced Dirty Chai at their Jersey City location and I really loved it. The top of the chai was so foamy. The drinks were both lightly sweetened with a hint of spices. In terms of sweet levels, chai latte is sweeter than dirty chai.＊Tiramisu Donut, Blueberry DonutI don’t eat donuts but these ones surprised me. It was like a donut-shaped muffin. They were not too sweet, and you could tell there wasn’t any artificial flavoring.Here are the two staff favorite flavors: the blueberry one was served warm with blueberries studded inside.While my mom loved the blueberry donut, I preferred the tiramisu one. To me, it was more like a chai tiramisu donut as I could taste a kick of spices.＊Salmon Everything Bagel SandwichThey offer plain/everything bagel and plain/scallion cream cheese. The bagel was warm and fluffy. The everything seasoning wasn’t very fragrant but complemented well with salmon and plain cream chese. A solid savory choice.＊Vegan Tahini Choc Chip CookieVegan and gluten free. It was chewy and not too sweet. The seasalt on top complexified the flavor notes of chocolate chips.＊Monkey BreadMy first time having a monkey bread. After heating it up, the top edges were nicely crisped. It tasted like a mix of cinnamon roll and french toast imo.
Randomly was driving by couple of months ago & decided to walk in. The shop is nice & cozy with nice decor. The donuts are all fantastic! I recommend anyone to try one of each selection they offer.Parking: Plenty of street parking available outside.

Stopped in for coffee and donuts but failed to take a photo of the latter! The espresso is good—less citrusy and more cacao notes which is my personal preference. I ordered the pistachio and blueberry donuts. Both were reallyyyy/overly sweet hence the lower rating for food. Good ambiance with solid wifi for working although the tables to put your laptop on are very small/wobbly

My hotel was not far away, so I decided to stop by on my visit to NYC. I ordered the rose donut, rose chai (almond milk), and filter coffee (almond milk). The order tasted great, and the aesthetics were truly unique for a neighborhood shop.Absolutely loved the experience and will make this a regular on my visits to NYC!

Super cute coffee shop! I would describe their vibe as "thoughtful". Everything in there is just perfect and gives off great energy. The decor is as excellent as the beverages. Can't wait to come back!

Super cute, cozy spot with kind workers! I witnessed someone accidentally drop her drink and they insisted on making her a new one for free, the kinda good you don't see every day!

Cozy spot serving up delicious drinks, mostly chai and some coffee. I got the masala chai, which is made fresh on the stove (with spices picked out per drink). Great place to get a drink and linger, though seating is pretty limited.

Came here for a coffee pick me up and got the Rose Chai latte. Unfortunately, it does not have as much caffeine as I was hoping for. However, it was a perfect pick me up for a hot summer day. They had so many cute donuts/pastries online. What I really wanted a rose donut. However, they were out when I went. Hopefully I'll be able to come back and try them soon. FYI, there is limited seating here, so just a heads up, you may want to take some of the things too go. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

A small chain from NJ looking to expand its reach in the city! This is an Indian owned place where you can find typical Indian drinks like chai (milk tea), cutting chai which is unusual here but a good way to introduce it to the local people! I would suggest the owner to serve the cutting chai in the right way using the right kind of glass rather than serving in a mug.I had ordered drip coffee with oat milk and apple cider donut. The coffee though was served cold, I'm unsure if I should have said I wanted it hot but it's fine.. the taste felt good and luckily the weather wasn't cold outside hence it didn't matter. The donut had a flavor of apple cider, it was different from the usual ones I have had and I found it real interesting!Service over here is good and staff is friendly whereas the ambiance is great. One can bring in their work laptop and easily work here for hours while I heard that they do provide WiFi access!Overall a great coffee shop to visit but keep an eye on the shop as you might zoom past it without realising!

I asked if the donut I was ordering was nut free and I was assured it was. Was told topping was nut free crumble. I experienced an allergic reaction in the store from nuts and staff was not sympathetic or helpful in anyway. I would not go to this coffee shop especially if you have any sort of allergy.

What a great coffee shop! Nice, bright, and open inside with lots of seating. I got the rose donut, which is a cake donut with rose flavored frosting and crushed pistachios on top. It was amazing - fresh, moist and flavorful. The oat milk latte was also amazing. Service was fast and friendly. This is going to be my go-to coffee shop for sure.
