I've lived in Hayward for years and I've honestly never been to this place and I totally regret it because it is the most adorable little coffee shop I've ever seen I love that there's art and items from local artists, I could see myself doing some writing on my days off and sipping on some tea I will definitely be back soon! read more

This spot was one of the few local coffee shops that was open Labor Day morning in the area so gave it a shot. The woman who worked there was very sweet and clarified my order when I placed it and when she handed it to me. The breakfast sandwiches were huge and worth it in my opinion price wise. I was disappointed about the fact that for the ice drinks the amount of ice given was so little, but on the plus side that meant I was able to enjoy more of the actual drink vs it be watered down like at Starbucks. It was still cool enough once I stirred the ice around! read more

This is my favorite local coffee shop in Hayward. It is small and easy to miss but it is worth the trip. They have a nice assortment of books by the window though I haven't browsed them because of covid. There usually is some local art on display on the walls. Parking is really easy. There is a parking lot next door. The owner is so kind and attentive. I gotta love a woman owned business. The coffee and sandwiches are good and made with care. read more

Came by this morning to say my sweet farewell to this cafe. But I'll be back! I've learned its last day will be at the end of May. I would meet 6am here for months with who is my now fiance (back then just two love birds crushing it) for a cup of Americano before parting our seperate ways for work. This was also the place I met and hit it off with two good buddies. They're part of the "Cheers" crew we would call it because they would know the other locals who came in. I'd also do my planning for the day and see our council member, Mark Salinas here on Thursdays. We'd chat it up about random topics other than the obvious, city policies.. To me, this place meant more than the coffee and croissant sandwiches and local business jewelry and art but a place of connection whether intimate, romantic, or friendly. I wish nothing but the best for the owner April, in all her upcoming endeavors! Cheers! read more

A quaint little coffee shop ran by one hard working woman! I love her service, the food is not bad and the coffee is average. What impressed me is you can practically build your own coffee drink here! From a raspberry white mocha to a vanilla dirty chai. Though I will say that the flavor coffees are on the sweeter side. So if you don't like sweet drinks ask for less sweet! But, the options are endless. The prices are also not going to break your bank. The place is very small and crowded, but it has a homey and study-like atmosphere on the weekdays. There's free WiFi and not too many customers stay for long on the weekdays. Overall: I would definitely recommend this coffee shop next to Starbucks down the road. read more

I just moved back to Hayward, not that I was living that far, but I'm happy to have stumbled on to this cute little coffee shop in downtown Hayward. It is a small, hole-in-the wall establishment and I love the home-y feel that this place has. I ended up ordering one of their special drinks, the Caramel Francis, which is a Snappy's Special: A French Vanilla Latte with a swirl of Caramel topped with whipped cream. YUM! I don't know why, but I assumed I was getting a cold coffee, but it was hot! LOL. Either way, it was delish! (Oh, and the lady who helped me was SUPER nice!) I also had to try one of their breakfast sandwiches. I was super basic with it. I got a Croissant Sammy with Egg & Cheese. Okay, yes, super simple, but super freakin BOMB! I'd eat that every day if I could. I loved how fluffy the egg was. (If you know me, you know I love my eggs LOL) I'll definitely be back! The only complaint I have is that it is on a busy street, so parking is a little tricky if you are not familiar with the area. I had to circle the block to get a parking spot I was comfortable with (didn't want to be on the main street), other than that, definitely try!!! :) read more

After moving to Hayward, I had been looking for good coffee shops in the area. I gotta say this might be the best place I've found thus far. It was just me and the barista when I came in; I suspect she was the owner. She was super sweet, made my coffee swiftly and it was SUPER yummy! For reference, I ordered a raspberry mocha w/ oat milk and a white mocha w/ oat milk for my family member. Support this (and other) small business instead of the large chains like Starbucks and Dunkin...don't get me wrong, I love those too, but they aren't hurting financially in any way and will be there after Covid blows over, small places don't have that certainty and we've gotta do what we can for our fellow community members. read more

Although the customer service was great, I would have to say the coffee was just okay and I feel that I wasted money on food. My husband and I love to support local business, and when we visit one that is wonderful- it's worth bragging about. Yesterday I ordered a blended vanilla drink. It was very watery and lacked the sweet, yummy flavor. I also ordered a jalapeño/asiago bagel, lightly toasted with cream cheese. First the bagel felt that it wasn't toasted at all, it was stale and lastly there was hardly any cream cheese. I really wished I took a pic of it because I was so shocked at how stingy she was on the cream cheese. Again, great customer service- but the products are not something I will be rushing back for. *Note: they sell Lazy Dog hot sauces here! read more

Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating. I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee.

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.

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.

Parking isn't bad at all for the marketplace. Lots of people coming and going. I shall return for the Epi baguette!

I really don't know what the hype is. Have tried a couple of items, ham and cheese croissant and…read morescones. There were both so underwhelming. Hardly any ham in the ham and cheese and scones were dry. There's no flavor to the pastries. With all the choices around Berkeley and Oakland, this place doesn't even compare. Maybe because there is no other bread bakeries near by. Honestly, this place sucks.
