Have you met that friend of yours who gets this whacky idea?
The one that complains about their day job and spends their time Googling artsy pictures of new businesses. The one that tweets about this amazing party they’re at but they still feel sad and alone. We’re not those friends. We had an idea, signed a lease, pulled the trigger.

I came here with my daughter because she’s been wanting to try it. She had the lavender honey latte, and she liked it because it was sweet. I drank the iced chai latte, and it was very good. I ate the Bombay sandwich which was very delicious. The mint and date chutney definitely had a little kick to it, but all of the flavors worked well together. My daughter ate the smoked salmon toast, which she really enjoyed. The red pepper flakes definitely added a kick to it, but she liked how that paired with the scallion cream cheese she requested. Seating is tight, and there are several students spread out on their computers. Luckily, a table opened up for us. We would definitely come back here again.

I experience good customer service at Hidden Grounds Coffee; an employee helps me uncover a Vegan option which tastes SO good (like, every bite good). The Mint Chutney, the Date Chutney, and Sriracha sauce make the Bombay Bagel sooo much more flavorful. The tomatoes, cucumber, and onion add a crunch as well as tame the Avocado (which is not slimy or at least not noticeably slimy due to the tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado). The Everything Bagel is my top choice for bagel options, and it tastes very good with these ingredients. The establishment is cute, literally underground like, at a corner, that if for not walking close to the corner, I’ll have a lesser chance of finding the eatery. The eatery accepts all forms of payment. The establishment has WiFi and areas to charge electronics!

This Hidden Grounds is my favorite place to study or work – the environment is very laid back with enough space for any books i need, outlets to charge my computer, and amazing coffee. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the quality of the food and coffee served here is spectacular.

Delicious coffee, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and good bakery/snack options. They used to have more gluten-free and vegan options but not anymore. I hope they can bring some back! Oh, and also dog friendly.

Just discovered this place and happy to say that I was blown away. The food was beyond amazing. Fresh and bursting with flavor. The drinks were also well made and hit the spot.

i used to love this place and order delivery on a regular basis, but they got rid of all of their vegan food (any vegan food listed on their website is no longer available). then they cut their non-dairy milk down to almond, which tastes terrible when steamed. i haven’t ordered from them since, which is a shame because i loved their lattes and there’s not really anyone else in New Brunswick making decent vegan lattes at the moment.

It was my first time going there after hearing some good things about it however we ended up having a bad experience. We wanted to sit at the table after the people left and asked the lady to clean the table before we sat but she didn’t clean the table well and it still had crumbs and spilled coffee on the table, we ended up cleaning it ourselves. My sister ordered cappuccino expecting it to be in a glass cup like the picture they have on the website but instead she got it in a disposable cup and it tasted really weird. Lastly I ordered vegan chicken and the bread was so hard it gave me small cuts inside my mouth and it hurts really bad.

If a cafe can’t get its latte properly, who will? The hot latte was underwhelming and cold. The milk was cold, and the latte had no coffee flavor at all, only milk.

Hot Matcha & Rose Donut was Amazing on the Pricey Side but worth it.
