    PISTACHIO DONUT
    Melrose Y.

    I came on a late Saturday morning and this was the first thing I ate after landing in the city and I wasn't disappointed. I knew I wanted a hearty bagel sandwich and a good iced latte. I got the salmon bagel sandwich, honey bee iced latte, and pisatchio donut because I needed a sweet treat. The donut wasn't too sweet, and the pistachio flavor was delicious but not overpowering. There's pretty good indoor and outdoor seating. A good number of people were coming in and getting their weekend pick-me-ups!

    NEW ORLEANS BREW Sweetened matcha latte
    Peter C.

    Came on a Saturday morning and saw a sign outside saying New Orleans brew. I've never had one before so curiosity got me It comes sweetened already so we ordered it with half sweetness which was perfect. Coffee was smooth, creamy, and hit the spot. There was something different about it but I couldn't figure it out There wasn't anything too special about the matcha latte. I also found it weird that it cost more to have sweetened vs unsweetened which is something I havent encountered before

    The New Orleans coffee was very unique & not too sweet but probably not something I'd get again. The matcha was nothing special and also not something I'd get again. Would want to try some other items next time

    I can't recommend this place enough when it comes to drink selection! They have so many chais and specialty coffees. I had a rose chai latte and it was delicious. The baristas were kind and made the drinks quickly despite it being a busy Saturday. There are a decent amount of places to sit. People in my group indulges in some of the pastries. They were delicious!

    cardamom chai
    Acira M.

    Was honestly a bit dissatisfied with the chai here. I got the cardamom chai and it tasted more like spiced sugar with milk. I should've gotten the stovepot chais that they offered. The color was off with the iced drinks and were more milk heavy than tea. Whereas the stovepot ones seem to be more on the tea side.

    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 Latte Hidden 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 Donut I 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 Sandwich They 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 Cookie Vegan and gluten free. It was chewy and not too sweet. The seasalt on top complexified the flavor notes of chocolate chips. *Monkey Bread My 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.

    MASALA CHAI
    Ash B.

    I really enjoyed the masala chai. It's the most authentic chai I've had in a while and was perfect to sip on with the cold weather.

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

    Rose Chai Latte
    Richa T.

    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

    BOMBAY CUTTING CHAI and masala chai
    Anitha K.

    Love the Bombay cutting chai here! I tried the masala chai too, but the Bombay cutting chai is a little stronger. You can add rose syrup to your drinks as well (it's rooh afzah!) They also have some Indian flavored donuts that are great! I also took a latte art class here and loved it!! Hope they roll out more classes soon :)

    Ambiance
    Joshua M.

    Wifi is fast, service is helpful, pour over coffee is fantastic. Ambiance pictured below. Great spot to get some work done or just meet up for a first date.

    Serena H.

    According to what I read online, the pastries here are all handmade in the shop. I decided to come and try the pastries here and ordered a pistachio sweet donut and a rose sweet donut. The texture of these donuts is like slightly dense sponge cake, and the rose sweet donut is on the sweeter side, but the pistachio sweet donut has just the right level of sweetness! Definitely worth a try! 看網路上說這裡的糕點都是店裡手工製作的,決定要來嚐嚐這邊的糕點,點了一個開心果甜甜圈以及玫瑰甜甜圈,吃起來的口感像是稍微有些扎實的鬆糕,玫瑰甜甜圈偏甜,但是開心果甜甜圈的甜度恰到好處!值得一試!

The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

Insane. The fries were the highlight of my meal and that's really saying a lot. $6.50 for one of the smallest iced coffees I've ever received... I think you're staying open on highway robbery alone. Or that the gentrifiers just don't give a damn. Honestly, I could've gotten something better at the Bodega for less than $35 after the Uber fees. I feel bad leaving this honestly, but... how you go from such a wonderfully established place to some dreadful experience is just sad. Do better, become yourself again, because unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked.
