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.

NOTE: if you're not into overly sweet drinks and cookies (like myself), drinks can be adjusted. Place is located in Eden Plaza off Highway 92. Great spot to grab a drink after a morning walk along the Hayward Shoreline. Hippies Brew offers their sweet-and creamy signature drinks with pop-culture names and Neighborhood Grandma makes the gi-normous "soft, ooey-gooey" gourmet cookies: 3 flavors offered: - Robbie Thicckee - topped with chocolate and walnuts - Fetty Wap - looked like a fun-fetti cooki - Ying Yang - rich dark chocolate and sweet white frosting. Delicious, chewy but a tad sweet for me and will choose a different cookie next time as they rotate flavors often. Ambiance is kitschy with a great vibe. Service super friendly and welcoming. if you're a newbie, staff wonderfully helpful and patient. Make a visit and support small business! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and lot parking

Hidden gem! A part of me doesn't want to write this review…read morebecause I want to gatekeep this place! The service employees are very kind and were patient as I was super indecisive when ordering. The menu is HUGE , with many healthy options available. I love that the drinks are served in traditional Mexican clay mugs (ollas). The inside area is tiny, but there is plenty of seating outside, with heat lamps for chilly days. I love their yogurt bowl and chia bowl. Their chia pudding is THICK made with coconut cream- I've tried to recreate at home and I can't get it as delicious. We've loved their sandwiches, salads and burritos as well. Their warm come straight off the grill on the patio. Their chai, cafe de olla and fresh juices are amazing. They have alternative milk for anyone who is dairy free. On weekends, expect a 15-20 minute wait as they do get busy, but it's so worth it!

The drinks are poured into these amazing cups. They're beautiful! The mocha wasn't my favorite but the food was the highlight, so I'm not too upset. The service was quick, fast and the people friendly. Overall, I'd take my dad there.

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!

My usual go-to is their Ube Coconut Coffee, and I can confidently say it's the best ube coffee I've had in the Bay Area, and I've tried A LOT of boba and milk tea places! Today, I decided to switch things up and try their Genmaicha Matcha, and it did not disappoint! You can taste the subtle, nutty, toasted rice flavor infused with the matcha. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I ordered mine with 30% sugar, and it was perfect! The owner is also incredibly nice and always so informative about their drinks. You can genuinely tell how much thought, creativity, and experimentation go into developing each drink. They really put effort into perfecting their recipes, and it shows in both the presentation and taste! I also love their baked popcorn chicken! I appreciate that they bake it instead of frying it, making it a slightly healthier alternative. I do wish they had more food options, although I haven't explored their entire menu yet. I work nearby, and this has become our go-to spot. Their drinks are consistently amazing, and I love the passion behind what they create. Definitely 5 stars! Highly recommend!

For lunch and dinner their food is delicious and filling but parking can be a hassle. You can always find parking along the streets. The staff are pretty accommodating and they do speak Cantonese, Mandarin & English. Shoutout to the chefs and staff!

Workers are always friendly, even when it's busy, and I've never had a bad experience. I love their Toffee Coffee, especially iced since it comes with toffee bits. Definitely on the sweeter side, recommend if you're more into sweet drinks and being up on sugar instead of caffeine (however they do have more caffeine forward options). Ambience is nice, tall open windows so there's a lot of light that comes in and there's always music playing. Not a lot of tables for big parties, but they also offer some couches with tables in the back. Cheese Bacon Crepe w/ Pasta: 9.5/10, delicious, my go-to. super filling, also has chicken & mushrooms. Pasta is not the most flavorful, but definitely does its job as just the side dish and I always end up finishing it anyway. Toffee Coffee: 11/10. One of my favorite coffees that I definitely treat as more of a sweet treat. The toffee bits in the iced toffee coffee are my favorite. I always crave to get this when driving on Hesperian.
