A staff member greeted me when I came in and let me know I could order at the cash register when I was ready. I ordered a large frozen caramel latte and they made it immediately. It was delicious -- if you like sweet drinks, you will not be disappointed. It was actually almost too sweet for me, and I'm the type to ask for extra caramel in my caramel lattes. The drink was well blended and the large size is 24 oz, so good portion there. The paper menu needs to be updated though, because it listed the drink price as $6.15 but I was charged $6.50. In addition to frozen (frappe) coffee drinks, they have fruit freeze drinks and juices. I was there at lunchtime during a weekday and there were people dining in. The crepes smelled really good, I'll have to come back and try them. They have a nice shaded outdoor dining area.

Cute little cafe with a lot of food options from crepes to sandwiches to smoothies…read more If you come here, definitely get a crepe as this is what they're known for. I was personally craving something more savory, so I got a tuna sandwich. Wasn't bad, but definitely wish I got a crepe as they all looked good! They do have both sweet crepes and savory crepes. Good for large and small groups. Good for kids. Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses.

Rating: 4/5 Iced…read moreBiscoff Latte: 4.5/5 Super yummy! I can really taste the biscoff flavor, and it compliments the latte really nicely. I got regular sweetness, and it was pretty sweet, so maybe less sweetness would be just perfect. Tiramisu Milk Cake: 5/5 I loved! It was super moist, and not too sweet. It was a nice combo with the Iced Biscoff Latte. Iced Double Matcha: 1/5 Really bad! I had high hopes for the matcha, seeing as how popular and how good their other items were. I'm a big matcha fan, and their matcha didn't taste right at all. It tasted super watered down, and lacked genuinely any flavor. Super disappointing! Chicken Shawarma: 4/5 Pretty yum! It definitely filled my up. Had a good amount of chicken, and came to me warm. Would get again, but isn't super exciting or different. Would love if there were a sauce that came with it. It is super packed! Lots of people coming and going, so the noise level is pretty high all the time. Good amount of seating options, but it was full basically the entire time I was there (4+ hours). Lots of drink and food options (sweet and savory). Good service -- they bring your order to your table. Wish there were more outlets available, and the floors were pretty dirty. I didn't see them clean or quickly wipe down any of the tables during the entire time I was there. I moved tables twice and had to wipe the table down as it was wet from drinks and crumbs.

I ordered one of their black medium roast coffees ($5), which came fragrant and STRONG. I could only take a sip at a time.

Banana Bread(8/10): The bread was nice and soft. It was slightly sweet, but I wish it was bigger. Matcha Latte(7/10): The drink was good, but I thought it didn't have enough matcha. Pandan Matcha(6/10): It was more on the milky side and I couldn't really taste the pandan. Maple Butter Cream Matcha(6/10): Initially I couldn't taste the maple flavor, but after letting the cream settle into the drink--I was able to taste it. Jasmine Matcha Latte(6/10): It tasted mostly like Jasmine, so I couldn't taste the matcha as much. Service(10/10): I didn't really experience the service(online ordered), but I could tell the workers are nice and friendly! Overall, a nice coffee place to go to before I head off to work!

5 stars. If I could give 6 I would. First, the drinks and…read morefood are great and priced really well. I would say the same thing I can get here somewhere else would probably cost 1-3$ more. Plus the variety is great. The croffle is hella good and my drink wasn't too sweet. I got the raspberry matcha latte with honey foam on top. 10/10. 2nd the vibe is really nice. There's plenty of seating, free water cups, and lots of art on the wall for purchase. There's some artists I recognized from going to art events in the bay, and some I didn't. It was fun to look at stickers and also the themed gallery art. (Right now is amphibians). 3rd the small details really matter. This is the FIRST place I've been to with bag hooks at the tables! Do you know how much I've longed for bag hooks!?!? Your bag is not gonna get dirty here. Overall: price is fair, quality is great, and vibes are good. If I had ONE note, the acoustics are a little off / things can get echo-y but it's not the worst of that I've ever seen. Really, no complaints. I did like that the music wasn't too loud. Thanks for having us!

I'm glad I listened to the staff and went with the White Peach Matcha (matcha + white peach syrup +…read moremilk/tonic). The matcha was well made and the white peach worked well with it. The banana foster croffle was also really good. The croffle was a bit denser than I'd like but it was still good. I'd pass on the tuna salad toast. It's nothing crazy.

Could have been the afternoon, could have been the time. I'm pretty sure it was the time because those flavors from those ingredients were crisp, inviting, and fresh like life was put into them. Not work, but warmth with spark and delight. The rush of caffeinated energy stigmatized the experience as a zing of OO or O made me happy, cheerful and excited with joy. Needed it.... Got it....

I am a fan of Philz Coffee, I often go to the one located in Castro Valley. So, when I came across…read morethe one in Fremont, I expected the same level of hospitality and quality of drinks. I had placed an order online for pick up thirty minutes prior and when I showed up, my drink still wasn't ready. I checked in twice and it looks like they had forgotten about and missed my order because it was an online order. I waited another ten minutes and still nothing. I checked in again and someone finally started on my order. Very long wait and frustrating experience. Very disappointing experience. Worst customer service, no urgency. As much as I love and support Philz Coffee, I would not come back to this location.

I don't live in the bay anymore but this will be my go to spot when I visit!…read more Location is nestled under new apartment complexes. Easy to find, parking can be tricky as it was full. The space is really clean, I loved the design and seating area. The coffee was PHENOMENAL- like... one of the best I've had in a LONG time. I keep thinking about it. I got the purple moon and I like that the milk alternative is already in the price which is reasonable and standard price I feel. Next time I want to try the popcorn chicken. The service was fast and easy to manage wit self service.

THE MUSIC ISNT EVEN GOOD!!! they are extremely slowed down covers of pop songs. i was trying to do math problems and then i got RICKROLLED AT HALF THE TEMPO HELLO??? in bright daylight. this is a crime. food - got guava matcha, regular matcha, and mango matcha. all $7.25 and all their matcha is premade. i still would rather wait 15+ min for a hand whisked drink but you do you! everything is on the sweet side. fruit stuff tastes okay, a bit artificial. it is NOT speciality. people say their matcha tastes 'creamy' ... maybe because IT HAS TOO MUCH MILK??? yall are gaslighting yourselves. matcha is not supposed to taste milky creamy it should taste like a field. either bright or deep or sweet or savory type of field. anyway any field in stardust matcha has been razed to the ground. sorry not sorry! service was good. they were sweet. stardust is not shining to me though

Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Was not expecting this good a breakfast for a coffee shop but…read moreit was every bit as good as a regular sit down place. The breakfast crepe included a honey mustard drizzle that was surprisingly good and complimented the breakfast!

Cute coffee shop to be productive at! I went during the afternoon and there were a lot of people…read morethere working/studying. The AC was running so it was a little refuge from the heat. They have a large outdoor patio that is partly covered, and plants provided shade to some of the tables that weren't covered. I got the honey lavender latte iced and it exceeded my expectations. Both the lavender and honey were prominent, it was a good balance of flavors. I had taken a few sips after receiving the drink and then didn't drink it again until after all the ice had melted, and it didn't even taste super watered down. A lot of reviews mention parking in Apna Mandi's parking lot behind the cafe. However, the spots in that lot closest to the coffee shop have bright red signs saying "No Coffee Shop Parking" and that violators will be towed. I ended up following one of the reviews and parked in the Safeway plaza across the street. It would be nice if Hops & Beans clarified whether or not customers actually allowed to park in the lot behind the cafe, or any alternatives.

I finally got to try this Fremont staple for the first time after everyone and their moms…read morerecommended it. Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

Not sure if the prices were posted, but apparently I'm the idiot who didn't look hard enough.

It's super cozy but still feels modern, definitely somewhere you can hang out for a while. I do want to note, on some tables, you cannot have a lap top all day on the weekends and after 4PM on weekdays (probably prevents people from staying for hours on end on busier days). I got the iced Qamaria latte (extra sweet) and my cousin got an iced caramel macchiato, and both were really good! Mine was smooth and very fragrant (cardamom notes mostly), which I appreciated, and the macchiato had a nice balance too. Both 5/5 We also tried the rose milk cake. It had a really light rose flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which made it easy to finish (we almost wanted another one). They had other flavors too like Pistachio, Saffron, Biscoff, etc. and some other pastries. Overall everything just hits, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Would definitely come back again!

Hint of a salt. Tasted much similar to simple Vietnamese Coffee if you're seeking something simple, which is my usual. Nutella Banana Coffee- def tasted the banana in this one. Wasn't overpowering. Not a banana coffee person, just wanted to try it. Ordered drinks on their website for pickup.
