Small corner venue kinda off the beaten path in New Brunswick. This is a dog friendly cafe that…read moreserves good food for people & a nice dog friendly menu for dogs. 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*

Five stars for the croissants! The baguette was freshly baked but a disappointment. It was too soft and didn't have the crunchy crust that a baguette must have. The woman at the counter was very frustrating to interact with. "I would like a baguette please." She gives a blank look. "A what?" "A baguette." "Like a pastry?" "No, like a long loaf of bread." "I don't know if we sell that. Wait here." She goes in the back and returns. "It's baking right now." "Ok. I'll wait, and I'd like chocolate croissant with a cup of coffee please while I wait." Then she puts two plain croissants in a bag and rings them up. Makes no move to pour coffee.

Not feeling sleepy in the middle of the night and also craving an ice cream or a cookie? This…read moreshop's name has it all - Insomnia Cookies ;) Literally we had an ice cream craving late in the night and this was the only place open past 12 AM. They have a street side parking that was up for the trans considering the ungodly hours we were shopping for an ice cream. They have a decent collection of cookies, tasty but limited ice cream flavors and ice cream sandwiches and the elderly lady at the counter was very kind and smiling all the time.

I wish they had stayed warmer, because they were starting to get hard as they cooled.

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.

The good: Acma…read more(like a Turkish bagel) is a flaky, delicious bread that is like a cross between a bagel and a croissant. My wife's caramel macchiato was very good. My tea was very good. The harder Acma which was covered in sesame seeds was just ok. Borak with cheese was just ok. Eggs with suckuk (Turkish sausage) was better than ok because of the taste of the sausage. The eggs left a lot to be desired. The bad: I also got a hot chocolate that unfortunately was Swiss Miss which I noticed after I ordered. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

They also have the viral Dubai chocolate. Owner is very friendly. He gave us a small taste of a pistachio dessert. The service was great.

They have a very convenient location by the train station, easy grab and go as well if you do not wish to stay long. However, The staff is very hospitable so I'm sure you would want to stay.

Not only do they have this lovely selection but they offer hot subs and breakfast that they'll cook for you for a cheap price! The place is big enough that there's a seating area where you can eat your food if you wish. One of the awesome hot subs they feature is a bul-go-gi sub and a chicken teriyaki sub... DELICIOUS! If you just want a normal sandwich, they have those too. =) The people that work there are very friendly and always smiling... and their drink collection is quite extensive. This place is definitely worth a visit!

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. They're particularly known for their chai, so my friend ordered a Rose Chai over ice, while I opted for a Hot Dirty Chai. Another friend chose the Honey Bee Latte, also over ice. The chai is amazing--it's aromatic and captures the essence of a proper chai. The Rose Chai was very good too, perfectly balanced! Overall, it's a great coffee shop with a lovely space for everyone to sit and enjoy their drinks.
