Now, it's just an awesome place to grab coffee and unwind. The staff are always so nice, and this time around we asked for our coffee to be put on a mug instead of "to go" cups. To our surprise, our coffees looked amazing. He was feeling very artistic that day Glad we decided to unwind and actually sat down after our 5 mile hike because heading here for coffee was such a pleasant reward. I wish we have more times like this instead of just grab and go coffee there.

It has a lively, welcoming atmosphere with an outdoor patio and plenty of comfortable seating inside, making it a great place to meet friends or get some work done. Has also a large parking lot.

I tried the Peach Orange Tea with 25% sugar and regular ice, and it was so refreshing! I think there's lemongrass in the fruit tea, which adds a really nice flavor and makes the drink even more refreshing. The regular size is $7, while the large is $9.50, but the large is really huge! Definitely a good option if you're looking for a refreshing drink. The staff was friendly and helpful too. I'll definitely be back to try more of their fruit teas!

Neighborhood Coffee is one of my favorite cafes in all of the Bay Area. Just don't tell anyone…read morebecause I want it to be one of our best kept secrets. Shhhh...! (It was worth the 13 mile drive for me.) With floor to ceiling windows welcoming in the comfort of daylight and warmth of Californian sunshine (thank you A/C), this cafe sits high above Castro Valley overlooking the distant hills and the bay, depending on where you sit. It's in the front space of a church and upon walking in (my third visit), I feel held by the Lord. Strangely, I'm feeling tears well up because this is the exact sort of space I've been needing as I go through some challenging life circumstances. It is peaceful here but it also has a vibrant community energy on a Thursday late morning. This space is welcoming to all of the bay are community and if you didn't know it was a church, you would never know. It's for the whole neighborhood and beyond. There are tall round tables, bar tables, normal round tables, armchairs at tables, long barnhouse style tables. This space was thoughtfully curated to allow for relationships to be grown, work to be done, and quiet time to be experienced. The Americano I had is nice and strong (whoowee... I'm awake now!). They had interesting drink options and some baked goods. Prices were average for the Bay Area. I love that the cafe supports community outreach. From the web, it partners with this church and community programs. It seems to operate around community support and social impact initiatives. I love that they actively support Inclusion & Autism awareness and medical debt relief (WOW!). This is a cafe that is doing it right!

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm always down to try matcha instead. My husband and I decided to…read morebike here on a Sunday morning (10:45am) after our pastry run. Service just ended so a lot of cars were leaving as we arrived. Don't recommend getting in line right after service because I waited over 30 minutes just to get two drinks. The lavender lemonade was very refreshing and not too sweet. The matcha latte on the other hand tasted watered down, so I could barely taste the matcha, super disappointing. It was a nice and sunny day so we decided to sit outside. The inside was very spacious, but I was overstimulated from all of people talking, especially when I was waiting in line. A good spot to stop by to grab a drink and enjoy the view outside if you're in the area. Glad I meet the time to check this place out.

The staff are very nice and quick with the orders! There is ample space inside to eat or just sit and sip. I highly recommend trying it out!

The bread was decent, ingredients were fresh, and the lemongrass chicken had good flavor. The pickled daikon and carrots, jalapenos, and cilantro were all fresh although the sandwich seemed a little light on filling. It's a decent banh mi, but I've had better. The menu goes well beyond banh mi with Korean style corn dogs, spring rolls, noodle bowls, mochi donuts, boba, Vietnamese coffee, smoothies, and various snacks. I can't speak to most of it from this visit alone, but there's plenty to come back and try on a future visit. Service is quick counter service. Staff was friendly and efficient. Nothing that stood out but no complaints either. The space is wide and open with plenty of seating and a grab and go snack rack in the middle of the floor. Despite the room to sit, it feels more like a grab and go spot than somewhere you'd settle in for a meal. Worth a stop if you're craving a casual lunch or snack.

This is their phin-dripped Vietnamese coffee and jasmine matcha tea. I had never seen this combination before. They're all things I love, so I was very intrigued. The L.A.C was delicious. The jasmine was very fragrant and forward, which I really liked. The coffee, jasmine, and matcha blended well together and created a nice and tasty drink. It was enjoyable and I would definitely order it again.

The pandan flavor definitely comes through and is pretty strong without being overly sweet. For the lychee matcha, it seems like they use lychee juice along with lychee bits, but I felt like it could've used more lychee cream or a stronger matcha flavor. The drink tasted a little watery to me, which might've been from the lychee juice. I was really hoping I'd love this one, but the pandan ended up being my favorite!

The pho broth is nice and clean with a sweet and beefy flavor. They also don't skimp on the meats. Very delicious. The rice plate packed with full of lemongrass flavor and that egg cake is my favorite. This spot is only less than 10mins away from me. That's dangerous! Definitely coming back here for my pho fix.

This location has always been a boba spot. My dad lives near by so my family would walk to get here…read morewhen we visit him. There is parking available in the lot that they share with Denny's next door. I would believe they are usually busy when the college across from them is in session. We came when it seemed busy but my sister in law order online for us while we hung outside where there are a few tables. They don't have sitting inside so just know you will be ordering to go. The drink I got was ok. I like Vietnamese coffee but as a frappe, I'll stick to the regular way. I finished it the next day but added to it and mixed it. I tasted my brother's drink of a strawberry colada. Yummy, will get that next time. There were stuffy toys inside but I don't know if it is for sale. The wait for our order wasn't bad but they are a bit pricey so definitely a treat if you plan to try. I see this boba joint in a few different cities. The one I went to in Manteca has indoor seating.

I forgot to adjust the sweetness level, so it ended up being a bit sweeter than I would have liked.

AFTER UNION CITY I…read morevisited the two locations in Union City. They no longer exist. I thought this coffeeshop was closed for good. I was delighted Hippies Brew is still opened. The coffeeshop feels hidden as this Hippies Brew location is off an exit from Highway 92. Is the coffee and food still as tasty as I remembered? Yes. The names of the espresso drinks have an urban feel yet their drinks are not overly sweet. Unlike most coffeehouses there are not a lot of food items - as only three breakfast items are served. Yet I would counter the food at Hippies Brew is better than those places as the three items served here are hot. The McLovin Muffin is a small, hearty breakfast sandwich to start in the morning. If you want a filling breakfast I suggest the Freakin French Toast with egg and ham. Coffeeshops should have their own signature coffee. Most of the time I at Hippies Brew I would order a variation of white mocha like White Iverson or Yonce. However the Rick Ross with the cinnamon makes the drink taste like hot chocolate. After a couple of visits to this location I can see myself coming to Hippies Brew again.
