Love this spot near my job! They have great healthier options like açaí bowls, avocado toast, and matcha. Perfect when you didn't have time to pack lunch but still want something better than fast food. Super refreshing and the prices are really good too. read more

Located in an industrial area and tucked away in the back is Bay City Bistro. I got the Cobb salad with salmon for $16 and it was a hefty salad. All of the ingredients were fresh and salmon was seasoned nicely. Order at the counter or at the self kiosk. Plenty of indoor seating with a tv and some outdoor seating. I liked that the menu is huge. Breakfast and lunch options. read more

Stopped by Bay City Bistro in Hayward to try their steak burrito bowl. The portion was decent, and the steak was cooked well, but the overall flavor fell a bit flat. Nothing particularly memorable. The rice and beans were fine, though the seasoning could have been more bold to really make the bowl pop. Service was friendly, and the restaurant has a casual, welcoming vibe, but for the price, I expected a little more punch in the flavors. A decent spot if you're nearby, but not a standout in the area. read more

This place is just down the street from my office. It's in an industrial area so it might get overlooked. It's one of my go to spot for lunch as it is just down the street from my office. The guys here are supper friendly and the service is always great. I order online and my food is ready when I get here. The dining area is huge and outdoor seating is also available. I've ordered the avocado toast, veggie sandwich, salmon burger w/ fries and falafel wrap in the past. But today I ordered the baja fish bowl. It's tasty and always consistent. It's got Spanish rice, citrus slaw, corn & black bean salsa and pico de gallo. The cod is perfectly fried w/ a spicy aioli sauce. So good. They offer a variety of dishes on their menu. I have never gotten a bad meal. Stop by if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed. read more

please do not order the asian salad,it is nothing like the picture. its mostly iceberg lettuce "big pieces" peanuts, sprinkle of cabbage, and a few skinny won-tons,,,it was awful. please take that shit off your menue read more

I always come here for a quick lunch as their menu is very diverse and offers a wide variety of options. Service is quick and the food has never disappointed. Price is a little above average, but honestly is worth it. There is a lot of seating inside and a few tables outside if you want to enjoy the weather! Definitely recommend read more

The breakfast burger was awesome! Beef patty, has brown, egg, and cheese all in one sandwich. It tasted amazing!! The avocado toast as much better than any other restaurant. And definitely try the veggie burrito, it's a popular choice! The only caveat is that it's kind of in a random location. The restaurant is in the middle of an industrial warehouse park. Other than that, it's all good. read more

Service is great and the food was fast and good. I would recommend this place to anyone

New to working in this industrial area, been having a tough time finding a close lunch spot until today. Saw this place driving to work and decided to try, well worth it! Got a breakfast burrito and iced coffee for less than $20 which is nice. Burrito was flavorful and good sized. Coffee was good! Can't wait to explore the menu more soon. Would recommend. read more

This place was a nice surprise in the midst of an industrial business park. We needed to pack some sandwiches for a hike across the bay and chose Bay City Bistro because it's proximity to 92. We were sad to hear we were their first customers in two days. That being said they built my veggie sandwich to perfection. The carrots and cucumbers were nice and crunchy and there was a generous amount of avocado. It held together quite well for the few hours it sat in our backpack. We will be back next time we're in the area! read more

Had a philly cheesesteak with french fries for lunch. It was actually not bad. I really loved the fries since they were seasoned like curly fries and crispy but not burnt. I would've never figured there was a restaurant like this in the area since it's located on the back of an office park building, Nice, low-key spot. read more

Go-to spot for lunch in Hayward! I work close by and Bay City Bistro is my go-to spot for lunch. Great diversity of menu items (sandwiches, burgers, wraps, salads, bowls... they're always changing it up with new specials too to keep things interesting), super friendly staff, fast service, and consistently good quality keep me coming back every week. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

The Avocado toast was really good with just the right amount of salt with a sliced hard boiled egg for protein. Unfortunately, the brewed coffee was not good at all. So soda with avocado toast? :-) read more

VEGAN REVIEW: Obscure exterior, clean and contemporary interior. From the outside the small cafe looks like another white-walled business - sort of camouflaged among the similar-looking buildings. The inside is very clean and organized. The interior reminds me of a hotel cafe. There are fountain drinks, bottled juices and waters, packaged chips, cookies, and candy that can be purchased separately from the meal. Empty at 11AM on a Tuesday, but started filling up around the lunch hour: ~12pm. I had the falafel salad which was marked "vegan". It is the only vegan item on the menu. There are also 2 or 3 vegetarian menu items. I actually really liked the falafel salad - it came with sliced cherry tomatoes, pepperoncinis, and 3 small falafels sliced into fourths on a bed of romaine. It also came with a tahini dressing. The falafels had a really yummy flavor; they were slightly dry but fine with the tahini. Tomatoes were fresh but sparse as were the pepperoncinis. Overall, a good and satisfying meal for vegans. Creamy tahini was really good. Wish it didn't come so sparse. read more

Was a little hard to find as it is in the middle of industrial buildings/warehouses. Im sure its convenient and a great lunch spot for the people working in this area. I would deff come back too, it was a good lunch find for a loaded deli sandwich. read more

Great food. Multiple choices to choose from. The few times I have been there, it was quick and delicious.

I am surprised I was not aware of this little cafe . It feels like a nice office cafeteria and is perfect for a quick lunch . I got a veggie wrap and my husband got a pastrami sandwich . Both were great . We are glad to have found such a great lunch spot for work from home days ! read more

This was probably one of the best BLTA croissant sandwiches I've ever had. The croissant was buttery and flakey. The bacon was crispy but not greasy. The lettuce and tomato was fresh and they put the right amounts of mayo. They could have put more avocado but whatever. It was 6 plus tax plus tip. Great lunch! Also my lunch date liked his Cesar salad wrap with added bacon! We love bacon read more

Bay City Bistro - Turkey Croissant sandwich! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

I believe the best things in this place are really their fresh ingredients. I have been here twice and just today I ordered Triple Decker; has ham, turkey, cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato with triple stacked sour doughs. It looks like a plain sandwich, but the taste is really incredible. And again, I believe it is due to their high quality fresh ingredients! I recommend this place; those fresh ingredients have tendencies to have crisp sounds when you bite into them. read more

Great place to have lunch in the industrial part of Hayward. Burgers are suprsingly very tasteful. They always have something great on the special menu. Weather your dining in or taking out. Food gets out quick. Portions are perfect for the value, plenty if seating, no worries about parking either. Owners are great people, so happy this place is close to my office. read more

Bay city bistro is my go to lunch spot. Fresh healthy and delicious food. My go to is the mushroom/Swiss burgers and Cobb salad. Besides the food selection there are numerous choices of drinks and snacks for a pick me up throughout the day. The owner David is extremely kind and caring as well. I really hope people will support his business! It is a great place for lunch and breakfast but unless you work around here, not many people will run by it. I am thankful for this place, it has never disappointed me. read more

All of their food is OK, at best, and do not be deceived by the pictures on the website - what you get will look NOTHING like them. Their salads are all made exclusively with iceburg lettuce (even the asian chicken salad, typically made with cabbage...) and as few other toppings as they can get away with are added - you'll maybe get 3 cherry tomatoes and 2 slices of cucumber, and whatever protein the salad comes with (chicken, falafel, etc) for $10-12 dollars... yikes. Their grill items and sandwiches are a better bang for your buck, but still just OK. The people are nice enough, but clearly don't care about their food, which is sad considering that's literally all they sell. There are plenty of other options nearby I would go to instead. read more

Just ate at Bay city bistro. Great sandwich, I had the italian combo, fresh tasty roll, lots of fresh meat, good provolone, will be back on a weekly basis. Clean place. Only complaint, turn off the CNN and put on some sports talk. :-) read more

Solid breakfast and lunch choice during the work week. The space is big, the food selection is good and the staff friendly. I rather enjoyed the cob salad. I tried it with salmon one time. It was good but the salmon was tiny! read more

This place is great -- the people, the food, and the location. Despite being in an area that has very few other options, they keep the quality and service very high. I go here almost everyday for lunch and have to say I haven't gotten bored of it yet. Also the specials are well prepared and diverse from various types of cuisines -- from Mexican to Indian. read more

I went to Bay City Bistro today for the first time. My employer just moved to Hayward from Foster City so wanted to check it out since it's close by. I liked that the place is clean and smelled good. I found it a little strange how it is set up though as I noticed the soup keeping warm on the counter across from the register and, since I didn't see a sign, lifted the top to see what kind it was. The owner? or worker came up behind me and adjusted the cover as if he was irritated that I lifted it. He then told me what kind of soup it was. That was a bit off putting because if you don't want people to lift the cover then keep it behind the counter. I proceeded to look at the chalkboard menu and he recommended something from the grill so I ordered the Pepper Steak to go. I didn't notice until after I ordered that I had a choice of sides - fries, potato salad, or side salad. I asked for the side salad, but it seemed that they already dropped the fries in the frier. I said it was OK either way, even if I felt that I should have been offered the choice. However, he went back and lifted the fries and I got the side salad. I took my food back to my office and it was very tasty. Could have used a little more meat for the size roll used, but I won't complain because the bread was really good and fresh. The salad was larger than I expected and fresh, although next time I will order dressing on the side. Overall it was a good lunch which is why I give it four stars. Although, I didn't get a good vibe about the employees as they weren't overly friendly with me or another guy who came in after. There did also seem to be some friction between the guys in the front and the guys in the kitchen. That won't stop me from going back again though. read more

I tried a chicken burrito bowl. Tastes great. Nice clean atmosphere but it feels a bit like a cafeteria. It's good to have a place like this in the area. read more

I would say this is an average sandwich shop with other hot plate lunch items. I have not had the chance to try the hot items but their sandwiches are okay. I'm a big believer in whole leaf lettuce for sandwiches- this place does not offer that so in my book it's a bit below ok. Everything else has been ok-good on their sandwiches. Mostly I come here if I am in the area and want a sandwich. I would say there has to be a better place locally but I have not had that chance to explore. read more

Great place. I usually order the Reuben, or the Roast Beef sandwich. The shawrma is pretty good as well. One thing to note, bc this place is in a business district, the kitchen closes after 2pm so no hot food after that. read more

I love this place! I have tried multiple sandwiches, the quesadilla and the gyro...all super amazing. I usually pick up my orders to go, but they have a huge dining room too. The service is always in point and super friendly. Get the potato salad, it's delicious!!!! read more

The commercial area that Bay City Bistro is located in is not a great lunch area. Bay City Bistro doesn't exactly add much to the selection. The detail Bay City Bistro has above all the rest is its interior. It's spacious, clean, and air conditioned. You won't feel greasy or find crumbs at tables. Plus they have a flat screen tv, unfortunately the volume is turned off. Attached to Bay City Bistro is a gym. It's no clear who owns this gym and if it's company employees only. The menu is composed of the typical hamburgers, salads, wraps, and sandwiches. They also have breakfast omelettes for but I'm not sure if they serve these all day. It looks like they're not serving hot entrees anymore because that portion of the menu is covered over. As long as you buy anything that's not cooked, you should be good. The sandwiches are packed with meat and are reasonable. I had some cooked chicken on my salad and it was drier than what the astronauts get. I still have a to experience the rest of the menu but it feels like the food is a mixed bag. At least they bring your food to your table. read more

Just went there for the 1st time. I was surprised it so open, clean with a really good looking, cool chalkboard menu. Started with a basic burger.... Very good GRILLED burger. Nice thick fries too. The flat screen tv is a nice touch too. Nice place to bring a client for a quick meal. More to come... read more

Staffs are very nice there and food is not bad, but it certainly lack consistancy. I always order the Salmon Salad because the salmon was poached pretty well. But why is it that it's often missing avocado when the menu said it contains avocado? There were few times I ordered to go and I forgot to check, thus ended up without it. The other times when I do check, I just had to ask for it after I realize it has none. Also, why is my salmon always varies in size? Sometimes it's so big, sometimes it's like two bites worth. The first couple months when I ordered this salad, they gave me half an avocado, now it's down to 1/4 of it. Also, I try to remember to order my dressing on the side, but one time when I didn't, the salad was DRENCHED in the dressing. It was disgustingly soggy to the point the lettuce weren't even crisp anymore, and if I tilt the box sideway, access dressing would fall to the corner. Salad should be dressed, not drowned. It would be nice if the cook would start putting dressing on the side. Oh yeah, and the same day, they forgot my avocado again. That would be the fifth times. I would still go back for food since it's so convenient, but some uniformity would help. read more

Meh. I got the tuna-cado salad and it was very basic. I've had better at the airport. The salad dressing tasted like it came in a giant package from Cisco foods. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and the lettuce was fresh. read more

This is a pretty good place, food is good and they are fast, but what I like the most are the people. Everyone here is super nice and interacts with you as if you are a person not just a customer getting food. Place is clean with plenty of space to sit. The only down fall is that they do close the grill little too early so if you come in at 2 you can't get any thing hot off the grill. Other than that, food is great and service is great :) read more
