    This is Hom Coffee, located at The Exchange at Hercules Bayfront. I stopped here for a coffee and danish. Actually, I ordered a large drip coffee, a cinnamon roll, and a blueberry danish. Then I left a 20% tip. The pastries were fine. They were fresh, soft, and not too sweet. However, the coffee was just warm, and was a bit weak on flavor and aroma. Sorry, minus a star. But the place is nice if you need a place to hangout. Lots of seats and tables. Fancy wireless charging pads will make you stay awhile. If you get bored, right next door is Dream Bowlz. Staff were nice. They zapped my danish in the microwave. Hmm, maybe they should of zapped the coffee too. There's only street parking, and it was limited when I was there in the morning. I might stop by again, after I go to Dream Bowlz.

    The café itself was cozy, aesthetic, and welcoming. The charging tables were a nice touch, and I loved that it's tucked away in the corner of Hercules by the shoreline. It's the perfect little spot to relax. I ordered a hazelnut iced latte, and my husband got a regular drip coffee. With my drink, I had the choice between a chocolate croissant or an ube cookie, and I went with the chocolate croissant. It was pretty tasty--I really liked how flaky and buttery the pastry was. My husband also ordered one of the chicken croissants, and honestly, that was even better than the chocolate croissant. Not gonna lie, the coffee just wasn't my cup of... coffee. My hazelnut iced latte tasted more like a regular iced coffee, and it had a pretty burnt flavor without much of the hazelnut coming through. My husband's drip coffee also tasted a little burnt. That said, I think it may have been because they weren't quite ready for the morning rush. There were already quite a few people there when we arrived, and the line kept growing behind us. At the time, there was only one employee working, and she was doing an amazing job handling everything on her own. Thankfully, another team member showed up to help. We ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes for our drinks, which was understandable given how busy they were. I'm definitely planning to come back during a less busy time and give them another try. Next time, I have my eye on the iced matcha latte, and I'm hoping for a better coffee experience because the café itself is such a cute spot

    Cruising on I-80 to work or taking a road trip, if you are driving through Hercules and need that pick me up, then forget about that other coffee brand, get off the freeway and find your way here to HOM coffee! Wake up with HOM and support another great community entrepreneurship! Ube cookies with an ube matcha latte...what a pairing. Not ready for sweets but craving something savory, HOM has that too, ready to be warmed up for that delicious bite. Wifi, cordless charging stations, a great atmosphere to hang out, chill, or refuel. Make yourself at HOM Coffee!

    Located by the Hercules Waterfront, Hōm Coffee is a new cafe offering cool pastries and coffee/tea. The interior has plenty of seating for people to chill and study. Noticed how there were plenty of wall plugs as well! I liked the concept on how it was located below the new apartments and could definitely see this hidden area becoming more bustling as establishments open. I will say though I was disappointed with their Strawberry matcha...I know matcha is in, but the matcha I had here tasted really off and very sour ? It was also quite expensive at $9-$10. I liked the freeze dried strawberries and strawberry foam, but the matcha wasn't made well. Presentation wise though it was gorgeous. I think I'd have to give this place another try in the future and order their coffee.

    Cool counter with charging pad!

    Awesome yelp event, thanks to yelp for the invite, and to Stan for hosting! The drinks were delicious as well as the food. Stan is very warm and welcoming, the space is super clean and inviting, with great seating options, café style tables and bench, nice chic yet comfy couches, and bar style seating looking out to the street, with those nifty wireless charging ports build right on to the countertop! HOM coffee is a wonderful additional to Hercules! Come check them out neighbors!

    Cute coffee shop. Lots of parking and cute interior. A bit slow as only two people working. But have lots of good flavor teas and snacks.

    Banana puree matcha

    Ok, Hercules! I see you! HŌM is a new coffee spot located next to Dream Bowlz by the waterfront. A beautiful and spacious spot with incredibly friendly staff and delicious offerings. Someone ordered a pistachio latte ahead of me in line which sounded delightful, but I wanted to try something trending..an iced banana puree matcha! It's been on my list for a while now, and the staff walked me through their fun matcha menu. The matcha came with what tasted like a banana nut bread topping (see pics), and I was pleasantly surprised that banana matchas are the jam! They also have sweet and savory treats ~ I ordered a ham/cheese croissant that was warmed and served on a plate, and a chocolate chip muffin. Both items were so good, wondering where they are made! There were families and also a lot of laptops inside creating a nice mix and flow of patrons. Would def come back to do some co-working soon. Parking available outside, quick drink turnaround. Cant wait to try a coffee drink next and other yummy brekky treats!

    Nestled in the beautiful new waterfront development, HŌM Coffee is a modern, sleek, and inviting café shop. It's the perfect meeting place, offering great coffee and a relaxing atmosphere that's ideal for catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet break, or getting some work done. The staffs and the owner are very friendly and welcoming. My drink was perfectly made. The coffee was smooth, and the pastries were very delicious as well. I especially love the convenient waterfront location--it's a wonderful spot to grab a coffee before or after a walk along the bay in a very safe and friendly neighborhood. I highly recommend HŌM Coffee to anyone looking for quality coffee, excellent service, and a cozy place to relax. I'll definitely come back!

    Hello, I was invited by my future mother in law to attend this cafe with her and a friend this morning. I happily agreed because I love supporting local coffee shops. I am soo happy I tagged along because we got to meet and chat with the store owner after we placed our order! He spoke about his previous businesses on the East Coast and a secret, not so secret, project that may or may not be in the works! The whole experience felt so welcoming to me. The cafe definitely feels like a spot you can hang out at and feel at home. They have lovely window seats that have beautiful views and wireless charging available! I loved their community mural and they definitely stick to that tight knit community vibe. The baristas behind the counter were extremely friendly and accommodating to not only us, but other customers as well. I ordered from their specialty menu, a mango coconut matcha latte and later went back to order a ham and cheese croissant for my partner. I very much enjoyed the matcha they use. It wasn't too weak, or too strong, and adding a third texture in there?! What a very unique take on a traditional mango matcha! It was definitely a nice surprise for my tastebuds. My mother in law ordered their hot pistachio latte and a pastrami sandwich. I sampled a bit of both and would love to go back and try more of their menu! She also commented that she hadn't had a good pastrami sandwich since she lived in NY and was happy with her sandwich today. Her friend ordered the ube crinkle cookie and it was soo soft and chewy! I love the Filipino flavours that their menu offers. I will definitely be going back and recommend them to fellow Yelpers and friends.

    Finally! A good coffee shop in Hercules! I mean consistently good,so far. A couple months ago my hubby stopped in at the soft opening and didn't get a good latte. But we've been going back since it actually opened and have had good lattes, chai, and scones. Part of their business model is, no tipping. The prices reflect it but that is fine. The service has been friendly and good. It's great to see people come here to hang out or work. Yay! One piece of feedback. There really is no need to pipe music outside. Kind of gets in the way of a conversation or just enjoying sitting outside. Thank you, that's all.

    New Kid on the Block Hercules' Bay Front Coffee Spot I stopped by Hercules' new coffee shop on the Bay Front really early after my run. The staff were incredibly friendly! I had my dog with me, and while pets aren't allowed inside, one of the team members offered to hold his leash outside so I could place my order and they'd bring it out to me. I really appreciated that they went out of their way to accommodate me instead of losing my business. I tried the strawberry latte with oat milk. It was delicious, though I would have liked it a bit stronger. Overall, it's wonderful to see more options popping up in our small town, and I'm excited to come back and try more!

    Strawberry matcha
    Preston W.

    Delicious!! Service was relaxed and warm. Strawberry matcha was delicious! Matcha is good quality. Cold brew is made in house. Great vibes inside, and cool wireless chargers. A cute spot to grab a coffee and study!

    Kenneth H.

    Staff is friendly and polite. The filipino ensaymada is tasty. Cold brew is cold brew--not bad, as expected. Blueberry muffin was good but couldve used more blueberries. .. but the restroom? So clean. Handsoap? Good. Toilet paper? Not bad. Paper towels? Ok. Overall 9/10 restroom.

    Are they dog friendly? I go for a walk here and would love to grab a coffee before my walk with my dog.

    To bring inside unfortunately no, I tried to bring my dog and he was not allowed in. There are benches and chairs outside to enjoy your coffee with your dog.

Thing was massive, both of us couldn't eat more than half. Also got coffee and hot chocolate, both tasty. What really sets this place apart from others is the fact that you could tell they use real eggs. You could see the egg whites separated enough from the yolks, and the taste was great. Only downside, if you don't know what you want and spend 5-10 minutes looking at the menu, we had to wait about 20 minutes because others ordered before us. This was on a semi-busy Sunday.

This family owned and operated bakery has been serving the community for over 60 years, carrying on baking traditions that date back more than a century. Their famous buttermilk coffee cake recipe has been passed down through generations and is still made the old-fashioned way today. From what I've learned, they're the last bakery in the Bay Area still making this incredible family recipe. The baked goods are amazing, but what makes this place truly special is the family behind it. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their customers. You can feel the history, passion, and pride the moment you walk through the door. In a world of chain coffee shops and cookie cutter bakeries, this place is something rare. The history alone is worth a visit, but meeting the wonderful family who keeps this tradition alive is the cherry on top. A local treasure that deserves all the love and support it can get! Ps- I got the iced coconut chai, a FAMOUS buttermilk coffee cake and the hot chick panini. I also got a dozen assorted pastries/donuts for my staff to try. Incredible is an understatement. You're welcome in advance!!!

I reached out to Eric to cater mini mochi donuts for my wedding in March and his customer service was superb. He was so personable and friendly that I just wanted to order just because of that! I ended up ordering 5 dozen minis and everyone at my wedding LOVED them. So much that I didn't even get to have any myself during reception. What stands out the most about Mochata's donuts is that the flavor is actually IN the donut itself. Not just the icing that we're all used to. And the texture? Exactly the way a mochi should taste. Flavors? ON POINT!! The toppings are very generous, especially the Cookies N Cream and Mint Oreo. My absolute favorites are Coconut Pandan, Ube and Strawberries N Cream and my husband always goes for the Mint Oreo. I haven't tried all the flavors yet but I have no doubt that they all taste delicious. I also got myself a Thai Horchata drink. I never thought about combining the two flavors together and it was super good! Now I feel like I need to try every flavor of that as well.
