Hidden Grounds LA — Restaurant in Pineville

I had high hopes for Hidden Grounds but left disappointed.

The kolaches and flavor of my pumpkin spice latte (basic, I know) were decent, but both hot beverages we ordered were, at best, lukewarm. The breve my partner ordered had little flavor besides that of milk.

The store atmosphere was a tad too religious for our taste, as well. This was the result of worship music playing overhead, religious literature on the table(s), and an intense biblical discussion taking place between two customers in the corner.

I have been here twice due to access issues at harlows bakery with my SD. The staff is always very friendly especially the guy working monday around lunch, a tall blonde man.

I will frequent here more often and also let everyone in the SD community that this is deff an amazing place with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing mochas btw at an amazing price and I've had quite a few mochas from different places. Perfect temp.
