Crema's Take
“This thoughtfully curated spot specializes in creative chai and rose-forward drinks that locals rave about as some of the best in the city, paired with inventive pastries like their standout pistachio donut that's worth a return visit. The intimate space strikes a perfect balance between minimalist design and genuine warmth, with staff who make you feel welcomed whether you're settling in for a leisurely sit or grabbing a quick bite. Whether you're drawn to their signature masala chai, floral-infused beverages, or surprisingly excellent savory pastries, Hidden Grounds feels like the kind of place where thoughtful craft meets genuine hospitality.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
