I LOVE THIS COFFEE SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I discovered it when I was signing up for a new little storage unit and the gentleman helping me had his coffee delivered- in came the most amazing looking muffin and 32oz of ice cold coffee beverage. I asked him where it was from- and my new relationship with AJ was formed. I'm a coffee traditionalist and 97% of the time I'll get an iced coffee with a splash of cream. When I'm feeling sassy it's a large Mexican Mocha frappe with an extra shot of espresso. Those are usually saved for birthdays or "I had a good review at work" days, but still so darn good. I *might* consider harder work outs just to squeeze a few more in my life. Staff is always friendly and bright, which is awesome in the mornings when I'm either starting my day, or when I'm coming down off the night shift but need that turbo boost of coffee to try to successfully parent a few more hours before a nap. Smiles, friendly, clear, order is always right, they also demonstrate positive interactions with each other and always seem to be helping each other out too. I've taken a couple friends there now and tell people about it when I can. I have completely abandoned St*rb*cks and have maintained a pretty loving relationship with AJ. read more

I love coming here for the Oreo frappe. But the girls that are working here are always rude and seem to hate their job. I came here yesterday and ordered my usual "Oreo frappe" and she forgot to add my chocolate syrup so she rolled her eyes snatched the cup out of my hand put little syrup and gave it back with a dirty look. read more

I really like Aj's Coffee. The people in the booth are always very nice. I always get my drinks extra blended and with an extra shot. I used to get coffee here 10 years ago when it was a different drive through, but now I just stick with the Frappe's on a warm day. Their drinks are always really smooth and creamy unlike other places that make their blended frappes with ice. I do like their coffee flavor and they roast the beans right there inside and the espresso's flavor has never disappointed me. http://www.ajsdrivecoffee.com is the place if you want to see all the drinks. I really like the Mad Aj's Frappe with chocolate and caramel plus that extra shot of go go go. Not a ton to really review on a Frappe is there? Blended up really well...check Creamy smooth and great chocolate and caramel flavor...check Appearance, even swirls of that sauce so it looks attractive and not like a drunk painter threw it inside the lid?...check Whip Cream...well ok if you really want to put it on top, I'll take it...check COMA from all the sugar about 30 minutes later and a 20 minute nap recovery...check! 4 stars read more

Such good coffee. Love a lavender latte and the service is always amazing! I also love a dirty chai from here.

Always great coffee and friendly service! We come here all the time. So much better than Starbucks!

Service is quick, workers are really nice. I've had way better coffee from Starbucks. It isn't the greatest.

I love the convenience because I don't have to get out my car. Great coffee! And the people that work their are awesome!!!! read more

Ajs Coffee - They gave treats to my dog! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hayward, California

My new love-- Since discovering this place I've been here probably 3 times this week! The frappe's are amazing! So flavorful, with just the right amount of caffeine. The smoothies are good too, and prices are reasonable. The drive thru is also extremely efficient and will have you in & out in no time! Will definitely make this a new regular spot for coffee. read more

Goodbye Starbucks & HELLOOOOO AJ's CAFE! Holy coffee their stuff is amazing! I'm a huge coffee drinking, I'm talking a cup a day & two on those hard days. Every morning on my commute to work I got a coffee in my hand. I even need coffee on the weekends and that's the only time I have the time to go to AJ's. It's definitely out of the way but it's worth the trip to me. Sometimes I even back track and go get AJ's and go back the other way to drop it off for my boyfriend's job. THATS HOW GOOD IT IS. It's a small little shop in the middle of a 7-11 parking lot. Two drive thru's & one walk up window. -Coffee: 5/5 I've only tried the caramel macchiato & the vanilla lattes and they're BOTH AMAZING. Every where I go I get a vanilla latte and this has to be my favorite. It's the perfect amount of sweetness along with the perfect amount of milk and espresso. The caramel macchiato is nothing like the ones at Starbucks... it's a million times better. -Size: 5/5 Compared to Starbucks because I'm pretty sure everyone has been to a Starbucks. The small at AJ's is a grande at Starbucks. A medium is a Venti at Starbucks! Mind blown! I've never ordered a large at AJ's but I can imagine a HUGEMUNGO cup. -Price: 4/5 It is pretty pricey. For my medium vanilla latte and my boyfriend's medium caramel macchiato with whip it's around $10.20. But the size we're getting is a good deal. -Service: 5/5 There's a lot of different workers in a small box. It's fast and great service. My first time there a gentlemen who helped me & was SO NICE! Average, you'll order and get your coffee in about 4-5 minutes. Fast, efficient and quality caffeine. HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE COFFEE PLACE. read more

Ajs Coffee - Vanilla latte! 5/5 Not too sweet, perfect amount of vanilla. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hayward, California

I love the different choices of drinks but make sure to taste the drink before leaving. I ordered funky (or was it chunky) monkey mocha and found out too late that it was just a regular mocha. read more

I love that AJ's has a drive through and their selection of drinks is huge. I have tried the red velvet latte, frap, and a white mocha frap and enjoyed them all. I also appreciate that everytime I've gone it's not too busy so the drinks come out fast! read more

Idk why this has so many stars. It's just a coffee drive through . Everything is from Costco no local bakery so if you like paying more for stale treats, go for it. The tea is Lipton Coffee drinks okay If you're in a hurry and need black coffee yes but if you are looking for something better keep searching. read more

Always the best. My personal fav is the blended mocha and add oreoooo staff is so nice and always using COVID precautions !

Oreo Frappe they NEED TO BRING BACK THEIR 32oz cups!!!!!!!!!! Overall, it is an amazing local coffee shop.

I need coffee to get my day started, when visiting family who are not coffee drinkers it gets a little rough, but thanks to my Yelp App I was able to find AJ's Coffee. It's a cute 2 window drive up coffee stop that bangs out amazing cups of joe! My drink, a hot large caramel macchiato with 2 extra shots of espresso, and they are no joke on their large and it came out under 5 bucks! Service is fast & friendly, it as a great little coffee stop. We became fast friends while I was in the area. read more

Ajs Coffee - This little bit of heaven has 6 shots of espresso :) oh yes! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hayward, California

Aj's coffee is way above average, not watery nor harsh brew: (m1.85) -not smooth, not overly bold -nice robust brew drips: -wonder why the cashier keeps asking me if she gave me change yet? answered twice no.. than got change. read more

Great place! Just stopped here for a quick iced mocha and I love it! Great recommendation! I'm diabetic so the sugar free options were a delight! The gal helping me was such a patient lady as this was my first time here. There was only one person ahead of me and the line moved so quickly! Keep up the great work guys! read more

Nice drive thru spot with fun caffeinated drinks! The staff was very friendly and helpful!

Drive through is great! Just below my business so I often grab a coffee and go to the Hayward Hill to Creative Kids Children's Center. My teacher use you too! read more

You guys need to update your hours. My husband and I wanted to try this place for the first time at 5:30 on a Wednesday night and was told you guys were closed. Yelp hours show you're open till 6:30 and google says 6. Super disappointing read more

I am not happy about leaving a negative review because AJ's has been a spot for coffee for me over the last year. But I have to, since the quality and flavor of the drinks has gotten really bad. For the the last 4 times I have bought latte's the coffee has been completely waterdown and the milk is not frothy at all. This is just plain laziness. Unfortunately since I received no response from AJ in my email I will not be coming back. read more

I'm addicted to aj's coffee and I will always recommend it. Their drinks are on the sweeet side but I prefer their iced caramel macchiato over Starbucks version any day. A couple things that would be highly appreciated is to have a customer loyalty program maybe providing a stamp card to receive a free item after specific amount of purchases would be amazing. Also, the fact that it costs nearly $1 extra just for whip cream is horrific and should be cut down. I've noticed the new hires also need a bit more practice making drinks because they haven't been tasting as good and my sister nearly spit out her drink after the first sip.. not trying to be mean. Just honest. read more

It's a good place if you are in a hurry and want to use the drive through service. Drinks are decent. I have tried lavender latte and mocha.

This is the only place I ever get coffee from! I go a few times every week and never get tired of my usual (Iced Andes Mint). I've recommended it to all of my friends and they are always surprised by how great the quality and taste is! Any other coffee place doesn't taste half as great. The workers are super friendly and know how to modify the drinks exactly for every regular they have! I also love that they have dog treats ready to hand out for those who bring them along. (: read more

Found this spot on my way to work yesterday tried it out. Friendly fast service, quality tasting ingredients, well balanced coffee. Love this spot I'll keep coming back. read more

I can't believe I lived in Hayward my whole life and I never knew about this place! Located in the same parking lot of the new 7 Eleven and across the street from Vals, Ajs Coffee is making amazing coffees. I got the iced caramel macchiato and it was the best iced caramel macchiato I have ever had! The staff here is very friendly and they spark on a conversation when you are waiting for them to brew your coffee. On top of that they help you make recommendations for those who do not know what kind of coffee to get. The venue is small but it's a drive thru and they have a place where you can order if you are not in the car. The drive thru does only take two cars (one on each side of the small building) at a time but I have never been there with a wait and they also make your coffee fast! I also think it is very cheap on how they give you a lot more coffee compared to Starbucks and at a cheaper price. Overall this is one of those must try coffee places if you live in the Hayward/Castro Valley area. read more

This is my favorite place to get coffee and food, i go everyday and it's always perfect, the staff and owner are so friendly and helpful and service is always good and quick read more

Didn't realize this was just a drive through shack kind of place. Ordered a latte extra hot. Asked for 4 sugar packets on the side, but they ended up adding it for me. It was too sweet and the coffee was kind of watery, but it was extra hot though. read more

I really like this little Hayward gem. The service is on point - always super sweet people working there, and if you want to try something new, they offer to make you something different if you don't like it! (Which has never happened)! Our latest visit included a kids' size Oreo frappe, which seems to be ice based, instead of cream (I personally preferred it, but not sure the kid did!) and an amazing Chai Latte made with almond milk! Their vanilla frappe and fruit smoothies are also delish. read more

AJs is great. I wish there were more around the bay. Not enough drive through coffee tea spots around here. read more

Lady only wore mask at the window. Pulled it down under chin during preparation of my drinks. Also was grabbing cups by the top with fingers inside the cup! read more

Both spots are always great, I'll go out of my way to stop there if I have the time. The service is always delightful, the owner is great and the coffee is fantastic! Oh yes..I have children that i don't have to get out of the car. #BigWin read more

Its ok.. Way too sweet!!! If you really enjoy the taste of coffee this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a sweet dessert type beverage then this may hit the spot. read more

My boyfriend loves it for the speed, but every time I've had coffee there it has tasted like it had been sitting on a burner for a while. This includes espresso beverages! The drip coffee was ok though. Pastries are nothing special. I don't think a little shack should have the same coffee prices as a regular cafe with seating and ceramic mugs. Their operating costs don't justify it. read more

Stopped by after a longgg while and got a caramal frappe... OMG sooo good! Thickness was perfect annd not too coffee but jot too sweet. Def need a repeat! read more

This is a small business worth support. Most of the coffee is delicious. The staff is kind.

This has been my go to coffee stop the last year or so, but especially when I'm headed back home to Tracy from Hayward. I like how it's strictly drive up, just like when Caffino used to be around. They are known for their different flavor frappucinos but they do have other coffee drinks as well. My boys love the cookies and cream with no caffeine of course. And my go to is usually a white mocha with extra shots. The other day they created a white mocha hazelnut with extra shot and it was sooooo good. I have also tried the green matcha, mocha, red velvet and they all are really yummy too! Can't wait to get some again. read more

I tried AJ's coffee for the first time a few months ago and have been thinking about it since. I'm loving the caramel macchiato and lattes. It's a convenient drive up window so you don't even have to get out of your car. read more

I love AJ's macha green tea hot drink and their peach/raspberry scones. They kindly perfectly warm the not too sweet moist scones. The barista has such fun personalities. The owner is kind too. You can tell he's very proud of his coffee place. read more
