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.

I've had the pleasure of having several different kinds of sandwiches from them, and I've been so pleased with each and every one of them. So much so that I have my staff ordering as well.

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!

Best coffee I've had in NJ!!! It was my first time trying…read morethis place despite attending Rutgers a couple years back! 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.

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!

There was a large assortment of bagels to choose from, so you've got plenty of options. I went with my go-to -- a BLT on a plain bagel. The total came out to $7.90 with tax, which honestly isn't bad at all for today's prices. They were generous with the bacon, and overall the sandwich was really good. One thing to keep in mind is parking. You won't really find parking right in front since there are signs posted, but I was able to find a spot around the corner without too much trouble. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite at a decent price, this is a solid choice.
