“Magic Silicon Valley“

“Wow!! Such a hidden gem. Loved the food, the decor, the hospitality, everything. I stay way away from this place, else would have visited often. But surely would come back.
Some places you feel the people are not just after making money, this is one of those places, love the passion put into this place.“

“very excellent coffee ☕☕☕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 recommended to anyone.“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“My review is long overdue but I wanted to get the names of the two great employees that make my visits here so much better ! Angel and Adrian are truly the best! I’ve become a regular here and I constantly recommend this pocket cafe to my friends and family, specifically the iced creme brulee latte! Its perfect everytime. And these boys are so sweet, i genuinely get a little sad when i go on days they dont work! My brother and I are big fans of this latter and these employees keep up the good work <3“

“Delicious coffee! And delicious cookies!“

“If you’re looking for a spot that does everything right, this is it! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is special. Their bánh mì is hands-down one of the best I’ve had — perfectly toasted bread, flavorful meats, fresh herbs, and just the right amount of pickled veggies. Every bite is pure satisfaction.

And can we talk about the desserts? 🍰🥤 Each one is deliciously unique and so satisfying, especially paired with their coffee — rich, smooth, and brewed just right. The dessert selection alone is worth a return visit.

This place is easily one of my favorites — excellent food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone who loves bold flavors and quality eats!“

“Natalie gave the best service ever. They didn’t have the sandwich my son wanted and she made sure to come over and talk to him personally about trying a different kind and then gave him a gift card to buy the one he wanted for later. This gives me hope that Great Customer Service still exists. Thank You Natalie ♥️“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“I highly recommend this Donut ? Shop. When I am always in the area I stop here. I prefer Donut Express over Dunkin because the staff is friendly and so polite. I always get me a Chorizo Burrito and couple of donuts. It's so delicious and great. Please stop by and support our small business owners over the chain shops.“

“I only recommend the caramel ribbon crunch swig. You must request extra and emphasize extra to get what you want. Overall acceptable. I only patronize during a sale to avoid the price gouging they enjoy.“

“very time I'm having a rough day, I come here for a donut -- and somehow it instantly makes the day better.

Their donuts are always fresh, soft, and just the right amount of sweet. There's something really comforting about them.

It's one of those simple little treats that can completely change your mood. I honestly wish everyone in our neighborhood could try this place at least once.

If you live nearby and haven't stopped by yet, you're missing out!“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“I had a really great experience at Teaspoon in Hayward and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes boba or refreshing drinks. The shop was clean, the atmosphere was nice, and the drinks tasted very fresh. You can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and flavors.

I ordered three different drinks so I could try a variety of flavors: the Lychee on Lychee, the Silky Strawberry, and the Mango Funtime smoothie with honeydew boba. The Lychee on Lychee was super refreshing and had a strong, authentic lychee flavor. It was sweet but not overpowering, and it tasted very light and fruity, which made it really enjoyable to drink.

Next, I tried the Silky Strawberry, and it definitely lived up to its name. It was smooth, creamy, and had a really nice strawberry flavor that tasted natural rather than artificial. The texture was very pleasant, and it felt like the perfect drink if you want something sweet but still refreshing.

My favorite drink was probably the Mango Funtime smoothie with honeydew boba. The mango flavor was bright, tropical, and blended really well into a smooth texture. The honeydew boba made the drink even more fun because each bite had a burst of sweet honeydew flavor. It added a unique twist that made the drink stand out.

Overall, everything I tried tasted amazing, and the drinks were well-balanced and refreshing. The boba and toppings were high quality, and the flavors were very enjoyable. I would definitely come back again to try more drinks from their menu and would recommend this location to anyone looking for good boba in Hayward.“

“Yes so I picked up my favorite custard eclair and these amazing apple and blueberry croissant cupcake type pastries HOWEVER! Have y’all tried the Ham&Cheese on Cheese Croissant pastery?!? Omgoodness! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH!!! Peace and Good Vibes K!“

“I personally love this Starbucks location. I've found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I think this is the only location where I'm consistently greeted by someone. The interior is spacious with plenty of tables and a nice selection of comfortable chairs--great for studying, work, or conversation. A great spot to visit.“

“Starbucks inside Target — Hayward, California ☕🎯

☕🎯🌴
Starbucks Coffee is one of those combo spots that quietly makes life easier — shopping trip plus coffee stop in one place.

🛒☕🚶
Inside Target, this location serves exactly the right purpose: grab a drink before shopping, recharge halfway through, or reward yourself after surviving the checkout line.

🌉📍✨
In Hayward, where people move fast and schedules stay full, these in-store Starbucks spots feel practical and smart. No extra stop, no wasted time — coffee built into the mission.

🥤🧺📦
The atmosphere is different from stand-alone cafés: more movement, carts rolling by, families passing through, people grabbing one drink and continuing the hunt for groceries, home goods, or electronics. A more real-world energy.

🚗☀️💼
For drivers and travelers, places like this are gold — restroom, supplies, snacks, caffeine, and back on the road.

☕🇺🇸🎯
Simple, efficient, and dependable. A Target Starbucks that understands modern life: multitasking with espresso.“

“Gong Cha is always a staple of mine whenever I am looking for boba and they happened to have a convenient location near shopping and some good restaurants.

Note: Gong Cha locations use a non-dairy creamer but beware, these almost always still contain whey which is a dairy derivative. It's a common misnomer so always ask for non-dairy milk if you are vegan like myself or adverse to dairy products/have an allergy.

In order to get a non-dairy drink, I was told to order from the Fresh Milk Menu. I did so with my Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Oat Milk and it was satisfying overall. It is indeed quite sweet even with 50% sugar so I'd advise to go even less if you aren't wanting a completely sweet drink.

Staff were friendly and helpful.“

“I notice a lot of Karen’s in Cali that like to review a company by there drivers when they are by far some of the most aggressive and aggravating drivers in the country. No I don’t drive for this company but I hate false reviews so I’m just upping the stars like the dingbat below me that lowered them for no reason!“

“I only recommend the caramel ribbon crunch swig. You must request extra and emphasize extra to get what you want. Overall acceptable. I only patronize during a sale to avoid the price gouging they enjoy.“

“Very crafty, tasty, delicious boba drinks at a conventient Hayward plaza that has Cane's In N Out, Sprouts, Chipotle, etc...

The staff is very friendly and attentive. We were greeted right away and the cashier helped us order by answering all of our questions in detail. In the end I got a very delicious Dalgona Milk Tea Brulee with boba. I'll be coming back soon to try out more of their unique creations“

“I am so in love with their savory crepes lol... The service is great and quality of food focuses on flavor! mmm good“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This has become my go-to spot in the mornings and even after work. The customer service is consistently excellent, and the staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. The team creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable.

The drinks are well prepared, and the environment is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. It’s a great place to sit inside or outside, whether you want to study, unwind, or simply enjoy your coffee. There is plenty of space, and the overall experience is always positive.

Highly recommended, and I look forward to coming back again.“
