Hidden Grounds Chai & Coffee House

Not available.

I would go back for the chocolate blackout donut alone, but the dirty chai latte and chocolate loaf are also worth a second visit. Perfect spot for a rainy Saturday morning to warm up from the inside out before venturing back out to take on the rest of your weekend. Looking forward to going back and trying out the rest of the drink menu and baked goods.

My favorite place to go for cappuccino — for the best taste in coffee, atmosphere (art/decor and music), and the baristas, who make it special every time.

We’ve been going to Local since it first opened. It was about the third coffee shop in Montclair at that time. Now, I can’t keep track of them all. Even after a change of ownership, I would still put their coffees (and baristas) up against any others in town. Both the service and the quality are terrific. As it’s continued to get more popular, the noise levels and ability to grab a seat have decreased, which is why I marked them down on atmosphere. The shop is always clean and they’ve got revolving art exhibits, but it’s gotten noisy and crowded.

Fantastic drip coffee. Delicious cheddar scallion scone. Close quarters that could be cozy or overbearing depending on time and mood: 3 tables (2 seats each), 2 loungers (tight space in the back), one bench by the entrance. Definitely will be back for the coffee and pastries!
