    I discovered this coffee shop in Dublin originally, but the Hayward location is more convenient. I love how the coffee shop is drive thru only. I am a lazy girl who doesn't want to get out of her car for a matcha. On the menu it does not say matcha latte, but when asked they do make it. I ordered a small matcha latte w/oat milk extra hot. I love getting extra hot since by the time I start to drink it, it is the right temperature. The lady asked me if it was hot enough which I appreciated. While taking my order she asked if I wanted an espresso shot added, I declined but appreciated being asked. If you pay using Apple Pay they charge a processing fee of 35 cents. I thought there was a law that prevents this? I'm unsure. Overall, their matcha & service is 10/10, def coming back again.

    Price gouging

    I have been going to AJ's for about 12 years. Today I ordered a large smoothie and asked if I could have a second cup because I have a 4 and 2 year old and they don't both need a small 16 oz smoothie each. I was told they don't do that here. I have always had a great experience with the young women that work here and today was my first bad one. It was the owner AJ that helped me. I over heard him talking to one of the girls inside about how he was an accounting major. I prefer to support small business owners but not when they manipulate you into buying two small smoothies so they can make more money. My kids didn't even drink their smoothies. Plus he charged me $1 per smoothie for whipped cream. They have officially lost my business, my husband came here regularly as well, he said he will never again. He told me I should have cancelled my order and left. I wasn't only ordering smoothies. I also ordered two large specialty coffees. My uncle frequented AJs as well, he said he will no longer go after I told him the story of today. I will be telling everyone I know this story. It's sad when a business owner vs his employee are the reason you won't support a place. In these hard times, a business owner should be going above and beyond, not being greedy. I would've even paid for the second cup, which he would've charged me $5 for probably based on his current up-charging and price gouging. By the way, two smoothies for my 4 and 2 year old cost me $14.50!!! I wish I had gone to McDonald's where the smoothies are made with more fruit base and my kids actually like them. They are willing to give me a second cup always. If you like giving away your money to a greedy owner then AJ's is your place! I would like to point out that I was not offered a second cup. I asked exactly for a large with two cups and he replied "we don't do that here. We have smaller sizers." Now if I had the option of being handed a second cup, why would he not offer this option? I think it is clear why. I paid $14.50 for two small smoothies and whipped cream was $1 upcharge, he never told me this. He just asked if I wanted whipped cream and I said yes. So each small smoothie was $7.25!

    If you're looking for a quick coffee place to make your morning a little better, this is the place for you! I have always supported small businesses during these times but especially Aj's Coffee. And when I say "small" business, I mean..."small"! This place is a cute little drive thru shop in the parking lot of a 7/11. This alone has always caught my attention and made me curious about what kind of coffee they have to offer! I live pretty close to this area and will always pass by so when I finally decided to try it out, it has easily become one of my favorite little coffee spots! Their menu includes flavors like Red Velvet, Oreo, Matcha, their famous "Mad Ajs" and more! Today, I got the Iced Snowy Mocha Latte which is basically their take on a White Mocha and its really good. You can always adjust your coffee to your liking too as I asked for it with Oatmilk and added Caramel drizzle. I got a medium and this coffee takes me a while to drink (meaning it lasts me a long time) which I like so that I can happily drink it throughout the day! A medium is basically a large here compared to other places so keep that in mind!!! My cousin got the Iced Red Velvet Latte (also size medium) and our total came out to $13.75, not too bad imo for pretty big coffees. I really love this place because of how convenient it is, how quick they are, and how much variety they have on their menu. I want to try out so many things they have because their flavors are super eye catching. Their staff is always super sweet too. Definitely a must to stop by here if youre in the area!!!

    Snowy Mocha Frappe
    Susanna K.

    Came here Monday for coffee run. Just one person ahead of us. We ordered the snowy mocha frappe and a hot mad AJ coffee. Staffs were very nice and gave recommendations since it was our first time. The snowy mocha frappe tasted rich and classy. The hot mad AJ had chocolate and caramel flavors but not too sweet and warmed me up. Would totally come back for more!

    Iced Hazelnut Latte with Soy Milk

    I ordered an iced hazelnut latte with soy milk at this coffee kiosk today and loved it! It wasn't too sweet and was a pretty decent size for being a small. There was no one in the drive thru line and I got my drink in less than 2 minutes!

    This what what I got when I ordered a cinnamon roll.  THIS IS FROM 7-11.  Ya'll ran out and overcharged me for this.  "Cinnamon Roll" HA!

    This Happy Lemon is the one that's closest to me and the location is perfect because I go to the…read morepetco and safeway nearby and I never struggle to find parking. The drinks I order are almost always consistent. If you order a drink you've had there before, you know what it will taste like. When boba is $6-7 and over these days I expect my drink to taste how I want it to and Happy Lemon at practically ANY location tends to deliver. My go to order is a large A2 (black tea with salted cheese) half sweet half ice, and get a second one for the following day with 0 ice. I also love the grapefruit yakult, oreo milk tea, and matcha latte with salted cheese. Please note: I say this about the drinks that I order. There have been a few drinks over the years I was not a fan of. Every once in a while I'll try something new but not all happy lemon drinks are for me and that's okay! They cater to a lot of different palettes. For snacks, I've had the bubble waffles and popcorn chicken. Both are quite good. I personally get the chocolate bubble waffle with oreo inside, and the puff cream dip. I recommend that you eat the waffle quickly or it will get soggy. You can also ask for it to be extra crispy. My only gripe with this location is that no one has ever greeted me with a hello when I walk in. In fact, you practically dont even get acknowledged unless you walk up to the counter and even if you do walk up to the counter it's not guaranteed... It's practically dead silent in there unless you are placing your order verbally instead of using the tablet. That being said, the fact that they are 99% consistent with their drinks and food is enough for me. This isn't a fine dining establishment and I don't expect quality service from shy high schoolers. This is likely a lot of the employees first job so I cut them some slack, order what I want and go home happy. Pro tip on the grapefruit yakult: if you don't like it suuuuper sweet get 0 sugar because the yakult is already quite sweet!

    The popcorn chicken here tastes great, but the value has dropped significantly. Prices are up, yet…read morethe portions are shrinking. My last serving was unfortunately more fried batter than chicken. Hard to justify the price for what I received today.
