The barista suggested hot chocolate for my daughter when we asked about a no caffeine option. I appreciate the suggestion because my daughter loves when she can feel grow up with her own drink. They're open early on Sundays and make beautiful designs with the froth if you choose to dine in. Such a lovely cafe!

She engaged in conversation with me, as I am not from Jersey and helped me with the menu clarity. There is no parking lot here, but alot of street parking. Inside is very clean with a gender neutral bathroom and some cute decor. The prices are decent. Dessert pieces are a little pricey, but very big. They do have soo many sweet treats. They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.

I have no issue with them taking pictures but personally would have appreciated if I could get my order through first.

While I didnt try the sandwiches, they looked really good and Id be interested in seeing if they taste as good as they look (hoping they do!)

When family came to town, we all went to this unique and homey cafe --unlike others of its kind…read morethat tended to be generic and bland. We tend to enjoy places and people with a bit of verve or quirk in the classic sense: that keeps life entertaining and adventurous in salubrious ways. For what else is there to do but having a fun time with friends and family with yummy, sumptuously fragrant coffee and a desi style or authentic snack when bored on a misty afternoon? I did relish the savory snacks with variety of flavors straight from a Dickens of Constantinople or Lahori vibe, though hybrid with British and American interests. This place was friendly, fun, and full of good vibes --right in the midst of a bubbly college town. Highly recommended--hope they make more seating arrangements for more crowds coming soon. In'sha'Allah.

I was looking for a coffee place open late that I could chill at before a State Theater show. And a…read moreYemeni coffee place sounded unique and worth trying out. The place was packed with college kids and friends there to socialize. We got the salted caramel latte which was very sweet. I would have gotten a less sweet drink based on the decadent desserts we had - the brownie cheesecake was just overflowing with caramel on top and the tiramisu had an interesting look with the cocoa powder surrounding the outside hiding all the delicious layers inside. Both desserts were $9-10 and were on the higher end price wise, but they were both delicious. There are a lot of options in drinks and baked items, but the tables may be sparse if you're looking to stay in. The later evening hours are big plus if you're looking for somewhere to meet friends in a casual, relaxed environment.

I first came in because they let me bring my dog, and I stayed because the food is actually great…read more-- not "good for a place that tolerates dogs" good. Tony the Tiger Grrrreat! The breakfast bowl is my order almost every time. Bacon and hashbrowns, done right, not swimming in grease. I've tried every other item in the menu and I keep coming back to it. Coffee is genuinely top notch. I drink lattes and theirs are consistent, which is harder to pull off than people think. No burnt shots, no soupy foam. Staff are friendly and mostly Rutgers students, so the faces rotate a bit, but they're always on it. Mo, the owner, is around all the time and is a great guy -- the kind of place where the owner actually knows the regulars. If you're in or around New Brunswick and want a solid breakfast and a real latte, this is the spot. Bonus if you've got a dog with you. If it's the first time with the dog, ask to have their picture taken and added to the wall - if there's any space left. Step inside the bathroom and take a deep down memory lane of the namesake - Friends the TV show. Bathroom is always clean!

What a fun getaway !…read more Stopped into birdies and lattes to play a round of golf on their state of the art K-golf simulators. These interactive simulators were fun to use, easy to learning, and within a few strokes, I was getting my ball on the fairway. I typically use the trackman simulators and these were very similar. I picked a course in Korea and played a full 18 within an hour. Thanks to Theo, who introduced me to the simulators, and answered all my questions and got me started. While you're there, you should also check out their golf boutique, and also practice your putting on their indoor putting zone. If you're feeling parched, try out their strawberry lemonade, or their caramel macchiato. I give Both a thumbs up and food, I tried out the double bulgogi Smashburger. Very delicious with their homemade Bulgogi sauce. Overall, had a great time, I would definitely come back again, and I plan to!

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 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.

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.

You order the food by scanning the bar code and ordering on your phone. Ambience: This is a quiet restaurant with no music and can hear other people talking since the area is close together. Curry Fish Balls: This was so-so and could have tasted a little better. Rice noodle with peanut sauce: This was delicious and I would definitely get this again. Baked fried rice with curry and beef: My brother said this was delicious and the curry tasted better than the curry fish ball. Baked pasta with chicken: This was delicious as well and had just the right amount of taste. Hong Kong Milk Tea: This does not come with sugar even when you order it with sugar. You have to put your own sugar. Overall: We would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items that they have.

Very creamy without being overly sweet, and the toast was perfectly crispy just the way I like it Milk Tea (4/5): A classic HK-style milk tea, rich, smooth, and spot on. You can't go wrong. Beef Stew Ho Fun (4.25/5): Very enjoyable. The beef stew was super tender and the ho fun noodles had a great texture, though the broth could have used a touch more depth and flavor Baked Pork Chop over Fried Rice in Tomato Sauce (3/5): The sauce had great flavor, but adding peppers and red onions felt a bit unusual. You don't typically see those in traditional baked pork chop dishes, and they didn't quite go well imo Overall, a solid spot for a HK cafe
