I have loved Hidden Grounds for a while and I’m not sure how I just found out that there’s one in Williamsburg and one in Manhattan. I used to go to New Jersey just for their chai. I love their regular chai, but their lavender and rose ones are pretty good too! Their pastries are a beauty too. They look good and they taste good. The atmosphere is great, service is great and over all, one of my favorite places. I highly recommend it for authentic Indian flavors in their pastries and drinks.

Thoroughly enjoyed my cardamom iced coffee and ginger chai. Good vibes here, not too much seating but there were people w their laptops.
