We ordered our drinks and sandwiches to-go. We ordered the lemongrass tofu and chicken banh mi. The bread was fresh and good. Although the tofu was a little dry and lacked some flavor (had to use sriracha), the chicken banh mi was flavorful and well done, though there was quite a bit of chicken. The fruity matcha with boba was also pretty good as was the Vietnamese coffee, though the coffee was on the strong side. They also sell sesame balls, French bread, and other baked goods as well. We recommend ordering ahead since there is a good amount of people coming in each morning. They take phone and online orders. This is a nice sandwich spot and they have 3 round tables with 4 seats and 4 rectangle tables with 4 seats or so. There is plenty of seating to go around. read more

Located on a corner in a non descript strip mall, La Ca Bakery & Cafe shares a storefront with Mochinut donuts. The inside interior design is something more akin to a 7/11 grocery store, with a wide countertop displaying colorful and tasty looking Mochinut donuts with the back area for food options. The space is peppered with some two or three person tables as well, with a small display shelf helping to delineate where the line to the cashier starts. Regarding the viet coffee, this one was particularly strong, with a definite higher proportion of coffee to condensed milk that doesn't offend but also risks being a bit TOO strong (wild to say that when all viet coffee at its core is strong). Overall, it's conveniently located, but I think I might prefer to go further south for something with a more balanced taste profile. read more

First time here. Wasn't a huge fan when it was Lee's, but I'm a fan now! Spacious and clean area with little snacks, goodies, and various drinks available! Counter person was friendly and so was the person that brought our food! The banh mi sandwich was nice and fresh! The veggies were crisp and light. The flavor was on point, and the bread! The bread had a nice toast and was still soft on the inside! Great local spot! If ya haven't been, ya need to! read more

Quick friendly service at this casual spot with ample seating in a spacious interior. Standard menu for a Vietnamese cafe with a decent selection of specialty drinks. We had Beef Rolls, Fried Egg Rolls, and Ube Coffee. Although the presentation was standard, the prices were cheap and the food was fresh and tasty. read more

Great cafe in Hayward with a variety of coffee and tea drinks, banh mis, spring rolls, buns, bowls, and mochi donuts. I had the ube coffee and mushroom and taro buns (2 buns per flavor). My friend had a tea lemonade and a Thai tea mochi donut. The buns were tasty and the coffee was strong with great ube foam. I tried some of my friend's donut and the Thai tea flavor was apparent. Service was friendly though a bit disorganized as they didn't seem to a system to let people know their orders were ready. My order was also given to me in a big paper bag even though I didn't say that I wanted it to go. Not a big deal as I save paper bags for recycling but odd that they assumed I was taking my order to go when I didn't specify this. I think my order was ~$14, which I expected for a drink and two bun orders. Though they have a parking lot, space is somewhat limited with multiple business. I had to park behind the building and had difficulty getting out of my parking space because there wasn't enough room to turn around. Though the location is a bit out of the way, I would come back if in the area. read more

I went to CSU East Bay for an orientation when my family and I stumbled on this absolute gem in Hayward. We literally dream of their banh mi! Straight when we walked in, we all loved the vibe of the cafe - it was spacious with cute yellow walls and mochi donuts on display. I got a grilled chicken banh mi and a boba drink, and both were delicious. However, they have many options like the aforementioned mochi donuts, K-dogs, and other desserts. My family tried their other banh mi and loved it - they had nice moisture from what I'm assuming is a nicely buttered roll, fresh vegetables, and well-cooked meat. Not to mention, the portion is pretty sizeable. The servers were nothing crazy - just the normal amount of helpful and patient, which I always appreciate. Either way, I always make it a point to come back to this place when we're in the East Bay - such a great spot! read more

This place is delicious. It's also Mochinut, an Asian style bakery selling these cool looking donuts. I ordered the bowl with shrimp and pork. Delicious with the peanut sauce and vegetables. The place is trendy and the service is pretty fast after you get your order in. My only complaint is the portions are small for the price of $14-$16 per bowl or entree item. read more

Ordered a dozen mochi donuts online 3 days prior. The order was ready via text message and pick up was easy, showed the order confirmation to staff. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and combined with another snack restaurant. The mochi donuts were so cute and with the decorations, warm, crispy, and not too sweet which I love. I'm not a huge sweet fan but I'd come back for these. read more

Solid little bahn mi place, fair pricing! It is a banh mi place combined with a korean hotdog place, mochi donuts, and Asian snacks, so you have more options than you think. I ordered the grilled pork bahn mi, which I enjoyed. Flavorful, juicy pork balanced with the veggies. There wasn't much seating inside, maybe only 4 small tables. Clean ambiance, good music. read more

I was next door doing laundry and got a little hungry so I decided to check this place out .

If you're here for coffee, try the Tiger Oat Latte! I think they have some chocolate in it which adds a nice taste to this coffee.

Review #879 Posted on 4.26.25 I came to get some dessert & decided to also grab a coffee with boba, ube foam, & cheese foam too, on Saturday the 26th. This spot is located on Amador St in Hayward really close to the 880 highway, & Jackson St exit. It's directly across the street from the Safeway shopping center on Jackson right off the exit. When you come inside, you notice that these 2 spots share a location, you get the best of both worlds here, what's great is you can order from either menu and combine items from either menu and pay together. La Ca has tons of different stuff. Vietnamese sandwiches, coffees, with toppings options, IE bobas, foams, jellys, etc. They also have breakfast sandwiches w eggs, bacon, etc, & lunch sandwiches like turkey & avocado, tuna, roast beef, club, etc. Really nice options here. read more

The Korean corn dogs here are amazing! They are always hot and fresh. Each bite you get the perfect crunch and softness from the bread. The mozzarella cheese is incredible and if you love a good cheese pull this is the perfect food to get! The hot dog is also good! The best way I can describe the taste is like a Costco hot dog. The service here is fast and you get your order in 5-10 mins max! read more

A little jack of all trades type of store. Thus can't be expecting a particularly stellar kind of food. But does get you a quick fix for your cravings, just not satisfying Falls short of expectations for $9. Comparing to the prominent banh mi store in SJ. Thin meat slices, over flowed with butter/mayo. read more

I was on the look out for quick lunch places in Hayward, so I decided to stop by La Ca Bakery & Cafe for some banh mi. When you step inside, there's also a Mochinut that shares the space, so you don't need to walk very far for dessert either, and a place that does mozzarella corn dogs with a variety of different flavors/toppings. I ordered a few sandwiches to bring over to my brother's place for lunch. We ended up ordering 2 banh mi sandwiches (combo and pork loaf) and 1 regular sandwich (ham and cheese), which ended up being less than $30 - honestly a great price nowadays for lunch. I also ordered a Dirty Matcha as well, which is Viet coffee + matcha. That combo is deadly as it kept me wired for hours LOL. I love the baguettes that they use for their banh mi - super fluffy and crispy, but not so crunchy that you can't bite into it. I also really appreciated their meat portions, no skimping done here! The pate and mayonnaise ratio was perfectly balanced too. Great place to grab a quick bite, very reasonably priced for the amount of food that you get. Would be returning in the future. read more

Simple ingredients that pack such a flavor all combined under a roll. The grilled pork will have you wanting to eat this everyday. No dry sauce bites like some other places. read more

It smelled funny when I first walked in (like a plumbing issue and the wet rags used) and it was dim inside. OFF DAY haha I've been here before so... but today I was sooo justified with their viet coffee; their fresh and chewy honey boba. Lately places haven't had the boba correct or not at all. I took 3 big swigs and I still have boba! read more

My coworker and I were traveling for work and stopped by La Ca Bakery and Cafe for a quick lunch. The restaurant was busy during the lunch rush, which we took as a good sign. La Ca had a surprisingly big selection of items, although my coworker and I both ordered sandwiches - turkey avocado croissant sandwich for her and a grilled pork banh mi for me. There were a number of customers waiting for their to-go orders, but we sat at a small table to dine in. People were steadily coming in and going out throughout our short visit, but we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant had some simple furniture and decor, the service was efficient, and the food was good and filling! Exactly what we needed for a quick work lunch stop. read more

I ordered a sugar cane juice today at lunch. The juice was warm, even though I ordered iced drink. The color of the juice looked dark and old. My first sip was blahhhh. It was sour and tasted very old. I talked to one of the cashiers. He didn't offer if he could exchange a new drink for me but he tried to explain how they kept sugar cane in freezer and that how it should be looked like. I swear I will never buy sugar cane juice from this place read more

Stumbled upon this Vietnamese, bakery Café by accident. Had the barbecued pork Banh Mi and the churro flavor, mochi doughnut. I would have preferred a little more spice in the sandwich along with more pickled onions. There is no table service so you need to order at the counter and they will call your number when ready. It seems like a very popular local lunch spotted bakery. read more

I came here to try out their banh mis and drinks! They have several menus for various food options like mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, drinks, and Vietnamese bowls + sandwiches; they have tonsss of options! I ended up ordering a #1 and Mochito coffee. The banh mi was good, but not the best. I think the ratio and taste of ingredients was good, but one of my favorite parts of a good banh mi is the bread and the bread wasn't that great. I expected it to be toasted and soft and but it was just... there. I also tried some of the chicken fresh bowls and it was okay. I did really enjoy the mochito coffee, though! It was creamy and rich and I liked the mintiness of the drink. If I could give this place a 4.5, I probably would. It's spacious and the workers are super nice and patient, but I had higher expectations for the banh mi. I would come again for the Mochito coffee though! read more

Can't believe it took me so long to realize this place existed. Located in a large outdoor shopping center complex with plenty of parking. Seems to mostly be a takeout banh mi spot. The banh mi won't blow you away, but solid for a quick bite and fairly priced. Also very convenient to order from their website and pick up on time. They'll also text you updates. read more

Surprised that La Ca Bakery isn't just mochi donuts. They also have ban mi sandwiches and they are great. They have quite a few varieties to choose from and a bunch of Asian snacks to choose from too. The rolls are baked in house so they are fresh for the ban mi's. I thought it was a donut shop once Lee's Sandwiches was gone but it looks like it is both mochi donuts and Vietnamese food. read more

I was skeptical on trying this place honestly due to the pricing but I have to say it was a great experience! I ordered the grilled pork bahn mi + added a fried egg. The bahn mi was appropriately filled and the egg was cooked perfectly! I would recommend asking them to cut the sandwich in half if that is what you prefer. I also got a chance to try their original korean corn dog and it was so yummy! It was $4.50 so I appreciated how affordable it was compared to other places. Every worker I interacted with was helpful and kind. There were several seating options and it was quite spacious inside. I'm glad I gave this spot a shot, I look forward to coming back! read more

Good banh mi, fresh bread and a Mochinut inside! Solid option for Hayward, because they are a one stop shop for Asian snack foods and boba too. The Vietnamese iced coffee is consistently strong and sweet. It's very spacious inside but surprisingly lacking in tables and chairs. Most people do takeout for banh mi and Korean hot dogs. The mochi donuts are good and they rotate flavors each day, so not every flavor is always available. Sometimes I wish the flavor on the icing was a bit stronger, but they're otherwise nice chewy donuts that are easy to share because of the pon de ring shape. read more

I ordered the cold cut combo-delicious. I also ordered two roast pork sandwiches-the flavor was REALLY good. I got them with just meat, no veggies, and was really disappointed that there was hardly any meat in them. It was probably 4-5 pieces of meat total in the entire sandwich. I even looked at the bottom of the bag to see if some of the meat dropped out during the drive home. Nope. This was my first time there. I'd definitely like to go back and try all the other food I saw at the counter when I went in to pick up my order. The puff pastry with meat filling looked delicious. I will come back again for banh mi. I'd skip the roast pork sandwich though. I love that the bread is freshly baked in the bakery. You can see racks of freshly baked breads churning out on a regular basis. The bread is 5/5! read more

Love coming here to grab lunch, they have good prices, friendly staff, delicious food and drinks. Lots of good stuff to choose from, has all kinds of snacks and drinks out on display.

La Ca Bakery & Cafe - The Combo! Mmmmmm! - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

I usually love the combo sandwich, which is the number one and #1 on menu, but this time it was ok. Maybe because it was lacking flavor or I am just used to the Oakland and SJ sandwiches. I tried the grilled pork sandwich, which is the A3, and it was actually better! The pork had a nice flavor, and I liked it more than the combo. Since it's close to my house, I think I will come back and get the grilled pork sandwich next time. Overall, it was an alright experience, and I'm willing to try it again! Service was good and the place was very clean. The workers are super friendly and helpful! read more

Upon walking into this place, you don't realize how big it is inside. It's very open. There are a couple of tables with chairs. There's a selfie wall. And there's tons of items for purchase. Anything from a bahn mi sandwich to shrimp chips, all sorts of cold drinks to mochi donuts. We ordered a couple of boba drinks and mochi donuts. Which we were only planning on getting 2, but the guy helping us out said getting 3 was a better deal. Sp we got 3. 2 funnel cakes; one chocolate and the raspberry and then a mango. I never had these before. You did a hint of funnel cake, but I felt it was a bit of a tease and now I want a real funnel cake. The mango had a light mango flavor. It was the first time getting popping boba in my drink. It was interesting. I'd like to go back and try some of their hot food. Maybe next time I'm in town. read more
