    Large The Yonce Coffee
    cristina p.

    I've written a review for their old location in San Leandro, but this new location should be deserving of an updated review as well! We were so sad that they closed their other two locations and were on a hiatus! So happy to see that they've opened a new partnership with The Neighborhood Grandma! The inside of the store has that same Hippie's Brew vibe as their San Leandro location; cute and cozy decor all around. They now have a kiosk which you can order yourself! We've been back twice since they reopened and we never hesitate to make the 40-50min drive from San Pablo/Richmond for some Rick Ross and Ice Luvs Coco!!! There are new menu items that we tried out on our recent visit. Ricky Ro$sayeee caught my eye. You can choose their Rick Ro$$ coffee or $orta Kinda Latte and it comes with a slice of tiramisu on top!!! Sooo good!!! It does get messy though! I wonder if you can request the tiramisu on the side or if they'll offer it as a stand alone dessert item too! We also tried their PHAT cookies; Richie Rich and Ying Yang. We chose to get them warmed up and it made it all the better! It was nice, warm, and ooey gooey!!! My fave is the Ying Yang (cookies and cream)! I see that they also added new match drinks!!! Will have to check those out the next time we come back, which will probably be soon lol. Wishing you all the best with this location!!!

    Top your cold brew with the Frisco Fog Coconut Cold Foam

    Yes yes yes to Hippies Brew! How I've missed this coffee spot and was so excited to learn there is a NEW spot in Hayward off Eden Landing Rd. Tucked in a small lot shared with popular eatery Crave Subs and others, 'The Neighborhood Grandma's Coffee Shop' serves Hippies' Brew sips and cookies that are HUGE and oh so delicious. Pro tip: get the cookies nice and warmed up :)) I ordered the 'Crack Coffee' (cold coffee brewed for 18+ hours) and they mentioned to add the 'Frisco Fog Coconut Sweet Cream Cold Foam' atop ~ so good! You could literally use a spoon with that cold foam. The foam also comes in a Cinnamon Vanilla flavor too. I also ordered a 'White Iverson' jug to-go (white mocha) and a 'Ying Yang' cookies n' cream cookie. No notes! I appreciate the fun names for their drinks and shoutouts to pop culture and the Bay. Also the overall vibe of this spot is incredibly cool. Literally just like 'Grandma's house' ~ from the floral print seating to the fireplace, to the clocks on the wall. Cobra Kai was playing on the TV and we noticed the kitchen's wallpaper was a replica of the Wonka edible fruit wallpaper..so fun! The owners of the spot came to sit and chat with us for a bit and honestly, made my day and week. To sit with your community and just chat and invest time together enjoying coffee and convo..so priceless. Cant wait to continue to support such cool people doing cool things in the East Bay. Thank you for the laughs and love! *Also, stay tuned for more menu updates from them coming soon. They're only 29 days in!*

    Showed up for coffee on a Sunday, staff is very friendly, prices are cool and coffee is amazing! It is a mobile location in a gas station parking lot, but their ambiance is quite cozy! 5/5 definitely recommend!

    The place is close to my house so that's a bonus. The Yonce and Cowabunga Dude are personal favorites along with the cookies. The service is really great. The guy working there is really nice and very helpful. Even though they're not in the big store anymore, the trailer is still pretty cool. Even though it may be small.

    We need more places like this. 5 Stars for creativity, its a coffee and matcha spot but they are doing it different here. I'll say its not as strong of a matcha for me but the flavor combination was really good and I'd come back for the coffees. Very creative drinks, friendly service, cute trailer location, if you drive too fast you'll miss it. If you're in Hayward definitely check this place out.

    I love Hippies Brew coffee. I have been coming to their establishment since College when they were located on Foothill Rd in Hayward. I was so excited to see they reopened on Eden Landing which is right near my job! Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and coffee always a great flavor. This was my first time trying the richie rich cookie and it was delicious! Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Cant wait to be coming by more often!

    I'm so happy they reopened their location!! Their lattes are the best and unique, like no other place. This location also serves home-baked cookies from the neighborhood grandma. I didn't get a chance to try and I ended up grabbing the White Iversion drink. Sweet and Creamy! Interior was homey and decor feels like you're at a house. Fast service and you order on the tablet.

    Hippies Brew is back yay! - and honestly BETTER THAN EVER. Ordered the White Iverson Mocha with a Coconut Cold Foam. It tastes like a delicious chocolatey coconut cream pie. The white iverson is also amazing as always. So happy Hippies Brew is back. Best coffee in the bay! New location is amazing and decor is beautiful!

    Got to visit the new location on Eden landing. Its such a cute little spot. I ordered the rick ross and a Richie Rich cookie. Rick ross oh how I missed you! The first sip was so nostalgic and refreshing. Richie rich was oooey gooey with the perfect amount of salt.

    Bathrooms super cute with lots of little details, the cafe area is even cuter but was super busy so I didn't end up taking a photo

    We live in Sacramento and since the first time we got Hippies Brew 3 ish year ago, anytime we're even close going close to the Bay we will make a point to come here! Everything is good - the freakin French toast never disappoints and is so filling. I usually get the Yonce or Sorta Kinda Latte (which are both delicious) but this time I got the Hay girl hay for pumpkin season and it is seriously the best pumpkin coffee I've had anywhere. Definitely try it while you can! I wish we could buy it in a jug but we didn't see an option for it

    im happy i found hippies brew again! i know they had closed for a bit but they are now in a little trailer on the site of a gas station. my personal favorite is the yoncé!!

    ice love coco and yonce
    Adrianna B.

    I came to the og hippies brew when it first opened and then I moved away. I had no idea it changed to a new name but I'm so glad I found it again. It's always a vibe in there and the staff is super nice and attentive to your order. They don't take call in orders but when you go and order on the kiosk the items come out really fast plus you get to look at all the stuff they have placed around the store. I got the ice loves coco, my friend got the yonce, and we split the freakin french toast. Everything was so good just like when the first place opened. You can tell they love what they do.

    Hi there. Are your iced beverages made with a premix? How are they drinks prepared? I only ask because I have been there 3x now and I taste more sugar than I do coffee. Sorry, just a bit curious

    Heyyyy! Great question! We specialize in sweet and creamy drinks so they def might taste more like sugar! But we got you if you want a little less sweet, just let our barista know and they can add as much cold brew as you’d like to make it less… Read more

    I notice that this establishment has a breakfast sandwich. Is it possible to customize the elements of the sandwich, asking for turkey bacon in place of the sausage that is included on it?

    Yes!

    Do they make drinks decaf as well?

    If I purchased a shirt from Hippies Brew and it's too big am I able to exchange it for a smaller size?

    Of course. Just take it back to any local hb:)

    Are you open on MLK holiday Jan 18?

    Yep we sure are! 8am-6pm :)

    Are you open on thanksgiving?

    Heyyyy! We’re closed on thanksgiving so our staff can spend time with their families :)

    Is there any vegan options?

    Hey there! Our iced mint drip is vegan :)

    Are you open? So what if drinks you make? It is only cold drinks? Do you make foods too?

    Heyyy! Yep, both stores are open from 8-6 everyday. We offer cold coffee right now due to a limited COVID menu & have our 3 most popular food options available also. :)

    Hi was so happy to see the cafe open, just curious why you are only serving up cold drinks and not hot?

    We’re so happy to be open also!!! Due to COVID we’ve had to restructure our entire business to ensure a healthy environment for all, which means making it possible to get people in and out quickly and safely. So we had to unfortunately cut our menu.… Read more

    Are the hours on Yelp right? You're not open until 9am?

    Yep, they’re right. We open at 9 :)

    Do they still serve the freaking French toast at the new location?

    Yep!!! We have it at both Hayward & Union City :)

    Do they have decaf options?

    We don’t right now, but after the COVID stuff is over we will have a broader menu :)

    Is there a food menu that I'm missing?

    There is a food menu! I just posted one too!

    When are your delicious sandwiches coming back?

    Hey ya!!!! So glad you asked, they are back now!! We have the Freakin French Toast, McLovin… Read more

    Is there a place to sit inside to enjoy your coffee and food?

    Yep! :) We have a few tables outside, a couch inside and during library hours there are many tables right outside of our shop inside the library to hang out. Hope to see you soon! :)

    I'm confused. A friend said they're open but now yep says closed til May and maps said closed. Are they open?? Because I was gonna go tomorrow morning 10/6/2019

    Thanks for asking! The original Hippie’s Brew is closed on Foothill. Hippie’s Brew Express is open at the Hayward library. Come by tomorrow! :)

    Where is the new location and is it open?

    Corner of Mission and C street at the Hayward Main library...yes OPEN for business :)

    Looks like Hippie's Brew has relocated, but are the beverages and food the same? I don't see any updates on hours or menu.

    Beverages the same but not seeing any breakfast sandwiches being made more pastries (as of 10/5/19)

    Clearly the entire community is experienced MAJOR HB withdrawals over the past the year in the worst of ways... We were stoked when the library location was open for a bit, now, what gives?…

    It's open as of 9/14/19!!!!

    Are they closed long-term again? For the past few days, they've reported on Yelp that they have "special hours: Closed"

    Yes, due to plumbing issues, Hippie's Brew is closed until further notice. Follow their Instagram or Facebook page for more updates because they will do a pop-up from time to time.

    Just an excellent place to be!…read more A friend had heard rave reviews about their authentic Argentinian empanadas and we were so happy to come and try it out on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was busy (the lot is shared with Trader Joe's) but we managed to find a spot and head into the busy but not packed cafe. There is a large assortment of empanadas, from meat options like chorizo and chicken, to vegetarian like corn and onion, to sweet options too like apples. The menu also boasts lots of great drinks including mate tea! Lucky us, the empanadas we ordered weren't in stock so we had to wait ~10 for freshly baked ones. They came out buttery and piping hot, even with little hand-stamped letters on them so you know what you're eating, and it was so delicious. Most are about $5.50 each. Add oregano chimichurri for a bit extra if you want or pair with a tea, but these empanadas really hit the snacky spot. Lots of wooden tables with fresh flowers make Pampas a great space to chat with friends or to sit and do some work. The most standout feature was the friendly and efficient staff who seem to build connections with everybody who walks in the door. Worth a drive to Castro Valley! Especially if you bring cash for a 10% discount off a dozen :)
