“HERCULES is a great place to live crime rate is low compared to other cities . But it would help a lot to encourage neighborhood watch “ MODESTY ASIDE I DO . I have knocked to several houses esp when I was still working swing shift I kept my eyes open n still doing it if garages are open when I go hone from work n 1 time called the police station when 1 of the neighbor’s garage was opened n no one answered when I knocked her door .

“Oh my gosh, this bakery is incredible! From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in warmth and hospitality. The customer service is top-notch, and I couldn’t stop smiling. I tried the chicken empanada and the chocolate cannoli, and both were absolutely delicious. I’ve had my fair share of cannolis, but this one truly stands out. The pastry was perfectly baked, and the filling had a delightful balance of sweet and savory. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We even had the chance to meet the owners, who were incredibly personable and passionate about their craft. This bakery has a fantastic mix of Filipino and Italian items, so if you’re looking for a unique and delicious treat, this is the place to go!“

“It's my first time here, and I was excited because compared to the locations near me, their senorita bread also came in different flavors. They had nutella, strawberry, apple, and cheese. All of them were delicious, along with the turnovers.
This place is small and the lady told me they've been here for about a year now. She was super nice and patient with me while I looked around and asked my family what else they wanted to try.“

“Absolutely the best French pasteries I’ve had on this continent!“

“The olive bread was amazing, as well as the croissants and other pastries. The service was off the charts, truly exceptional! Highly recommended.“

“My family and I had Bula Pies on Springs Rd. by 7/11 for the first time this evening and it was delicious! We had the Thanksgiving Pie and the banana pudding and both were so good! The limeade drink is my new favorite too so just wanted to shout out to them because food was great and the customer service was too!“

“So far, so good. I'm waiting on my first order which is arriving tomorrow. The order process was quick and painless and I expect the delivery will be as well. I hope the cookies are as good as they look! But either way, I'll post an edit and let you know.“

“This place is the best! All of their pretzels are delicious and inventive (Meyer lemon filling? Lox dill & capers so good you'll laugh at Boichik? Check!). They also have Obatzda, which few people here know. Uli and Sabine are super nice, as is all the staff there. They do a monthly pretzel class that is a lot of fun and will fill send you home with plenty of baked goodies.

Highly recommended -- 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨“

“Just picked up my chicken soup this afternoon,my granddaughter wanted to go to the park,I ordered it over the phone and they said 10 minutes but we stayed at the park for. 45 minutes the soup and croissant was still hot not warm but hot my granddaughter loved the bread man lol“

“Not only DELICIOUS, but such a generous and community conscious company. Love love love!“

“Ok ok ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok“

“A welcoming staff who are happy to give recommendations based on your needs and amazing pastries and bread! You really can't go wrong with any choice. Savory or sweet? They have you covered and the olive bread is a must for our household!“

“Gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies! Call ahead if you want one or couple three GF cupcakes. They don't always have GF cupcakes available.
It was a hearty crumb kind of reminded me of a sweet cornbread. I don't know if there's any corn used in the making of the cake though. delicious! Raspberry buttercream on top or in the center as I like to eat my cupcakes. I wouldn't get the biscotti again but maybe if they dipped them in chocolate :-) I'm so pleased I live close to a gluten-free bakery! They had several GF offerings when I went there“

“Gran Milan is THE place to get the most delicious foods on the planet!!! I recently ordered mini sfogliatelles, cannolis, (3) meter long pizzas n wonder focaccia bread to make sandwiches and their famous olive bread sticks!!! Thanks for the beautiful foods and service!!! I highly recommend Rufo’s place for your next catering! I haven’t seen sfogliatelles outside of NY!!! Love this place!!“

“Excellent cookies and friendly customers service would recommend to everyone locally and visitors. A gem we have in Hayward!“

“Cute little cupcake spot. The cupcakes here are absolutely wonderful! We've been here a few times and have ordered cakes from here as well. Sweet and tasty cupcakes with lots of flavors to choose from. They do serve coffee and cookies as well 😋 🍪. Whenever we are in the area we like to grab some coffee and cupcakes and walk down towards the water where we like to sit amd enjoy the view while munching on some delightful snacks from Fox and Fawn.“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“I just want to say how grateful I am for The Good Table Cafe. I work with individuals who have developmental and physical disabilities, and many of them don’t always have extra money to spend on little treats or outings. As professionals, we do our best to help where we can, but unfortunately we can’t always provide the same experiences for everyone.

My grandma actually came across this cafe online, read about their mission, and suggested we visit. I’m so thankful she did. This place gives my clients the opportunity to enjoy a treat or drink alongside their peers, something they are often left out of or unable to experience.

The environment feels incredibly safe, welcoming, and inclusive, and my clients truly have a great time every visit. The food is fantastic, fresh, and organic, and the nursery has a beautiful variety of plants along with everything needed for plant care.

I’ve already recommended this place to my entire company so that more clients can come and enjoy a special treat here and there. Thank you, The Good Table Cafe, for creating such a thoughtful and meaningful space for the community.“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“Are you kidding me??? These are the BEST cupcakes I've ever had!!! The key lime pie.... heaven!!!! And the Smore's, oh my goodness, amazing!!!! 5 🌟 for sure!“

“I love this local donut shop... They are very nice and they move very quickly. The thing I really like is that they go out their way to make sure they keep my favorite donuts when I go there try to keep a few extra every day just in case I come in now that's customer service.“

“The most beautiful and delicious cakes ever!! I especially love be the chocolate truffle cake.“

“Never been here, but this place makes the BEST banana pudding in California. I have been purchasing this banana pudding from The Bowl for a while now and then made the connection! I am actively researching how to get a LARGER serving of this as soon as possible!!! THANK YOU, Cassandra’s! If you haven’t tried the banana pudding, RUN… don’t walk to Cassandra’s or The Berkeley Bowl!“

“Great service every time! Mimi and Lisa are always so friendly, welcoming, and efficient. My sister and I come here all the time and always have a great experience. The service is fast, the food is great, and everyone is always so nice. Definitely one of our favorite Red Ribbon locations!“

“The staff here were super friendly and nice. Had one of their famous cheese puff which had a sweet cheese inside. Also ate a pocket chicken pot pie, which was
warm and savory on the inside while being flaky and crispy on the outside. Loved both items I got! Will be coming back to try some of their other sweet items.

The indoor dining area is small, but there is bench seating outside. Sadly the FatApple’s restaurant next door is closed.“

“This place is awesome, been getting custom cakes every year for families birthdays here, if I ever want a sweet treat like their flan, tres leches or chocolate strawberries this is the go to place, delicious desserts, kind family staff, and good quality.“

“The best, Best, B-E-S-T (!!!) quiche, in the world. Ever, even... Thank you, Starter Bakers!“

“My wife and I stumbled into Drift for the first time last Sunday while spending the weekend in Wilmington for a comedy show I did. Absolute great coffee and a fantastic brunch. Bought a bag of beans for home, and the coffee I’ve had the last two days is out of this world. The coffee is rich and flavorful. I can’t wait to get back to Wilmington so I can go to Drift. Java Junkie approved! Thanks, Beau Johnson Java Junkie Comedy @bjohnsoncomedy“

“A perfect batch of 60 (señorita breads) were ready in less than 6 minutes and they were blazing hot and were the hit of the party. I thought I left something and called and they walked all the way out to the parking lot for me, to no avail, but so nice. Anyway I found my keys.“

“Everything was wonderful. I had the cheese and loroco pupusa and a fried squash dish whose name I can’t remember. It was recommended by my Salvadoran nephew. He also loved everything. Others took home pastries for later.“

“The best homemade bread and pastries.“

“love love love! The cupcakes are awesome. They were perfect for my birthday.“

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“This is a newer bakery in the area. It has a small parking lot. The inside has always been clean and the bread always looks and tastes fresh in addition to very neatly presented. My parents like it as well. The service has always been delivered with a smile. As far as the foods, I've only tried the tamales and they were good. The pudin is my favorite bakery item. 😋“

“Tony created an unforgettable moment in time for my entire family with the Loki Gator birthday cake that he custom made for my sister-in-law. Tony is professional with his beautiful website, clear communication, and makes you feel like family in his warm hospitality. This was the first cake I ever had made by Tony, and it exceeded my expectations. The cake tastes as good as it looks. Upon tasting my first bite I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood remembering the rich unique textures and flavors of a cake from long ago. The entire process of ordering the cake, submitting payment, and picking up the finished product went so smoothly. I simply sent Tony a picture of what I wanted, which was a random image my brother had text to me of a Loki Gator. Tony made fantasy a reality. Tony's Cakes has become our household standard. I will be returning for more "GLORIOUS" cakes as Loki would say! ***Anybody leaving negative reviews about Tony's Cakes probably didn't want to pay, failed to follow the clear instructions on the website contract, or is looking for someone to blame for their errors. Tony did everything his website and contract said he would do. When I arrived at the store all the staff made sure all of my needs were met while I was there, and Tony helped me figure out my Zelle payment, even more he helped us get the cake in the car all by himself. He really didn't have to do any of those things but he did. My only regret is that I should have thanked him more than I did in person, because I was distracted with getting the cake home safe. Dreams do come true at Tony's Cakes! If he did it for my family he can do it for yours too!“

“Eunice Gourmet Café is a hidden gem! The coffee was amazing. I tried The Ash sandwich and was completely blown away fresh ingredients, perfect flavors, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’m more than willing to drive the extra distance just to have it again!

The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere, don’t miss out on Eunice Gourmet Café. Highly recommend!!“

“I love their buttermilk waffle, crisp on the outside, soft in the inside. So good. With an egg and two slices of bacon on the side and it's the perfect diner breakfast. The service the three times I've been here in the last three weeks has been so kind and thoughtful. The atmosphere is casual but warm and lovely. My only complaint is the clanging dishes which interrupt the soundscape; hanging a few flags over where they do the dishes would help to absorb that noise. I always also get some pastries to take home: cheese puffs, brownies, chocolate chip cookies and the pies are all phenomenal. I tried to only eat a bit of the brownie, but it was so good I couldn't stop inhaling it. A Berkeley/ El Cerrito treasure for those who love baked goods“

“My fiancee and I love Diane's banana bread. With a soft and fluffy texture, it has the perfect sweetness to banana ratio. The cinnamon crumble ontop, certainly added an extra tasty surprise. She is sooo nice too!!! We will be back for more!!“

“I had the pleasure of tasting Alisha’s Brownie Square with walnuts, and I was delighted by the rich fudgy center. It was a perfect balance of chocolate decadence not too rich or overpowering but just the right balance of goodness that kept me from saving any for later as I tried to put it away several times and found myself unwrapping it again for more until it was gone. The center was fudgy and smooth, the outside crunchy but still moist and not dry. The top was loaded with walnuts for that extra pop that made it a treat to eat and I almost felt guilty devouring it all as I wondered (wished) about how it would pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some hot fudge topping. I can't wait to get more and find out!!

Sorry I don't have a photo but I thought about taking one but couldn't bring myself to whip out my phone to snap one and then it was gone.

Definitely try this brownie with walnuts and you won't be disappointed!“

“We are loyal customers. Cakes for every family celebration including a wedding in 2018. The quality, consistency and delicious selection can’t be beat. Thank you and keep up the great baking“

“This San Francisco neighborhood spot makes amazing cakes! I can’t wait for our next cake order for an upcoming party! I’ll post pics afterwards :) They always turn out stunning.“

“Everything! (I’m serious)!“

“I tried my first muffin today and it was love at first bite� This is exactly what I need to curb my sweet tooth!“

“Maggiora sourdough french bread is like what french bread tasted like from the great Bakery on 59 th st & Canning in Oakland in the 50's & 60's. I lived around the corner from there & after that bakery moved they later lost their starter & Maggiora became the great bakery.“

“I’ve had their cakes and cupcakes… Super delicious! I would recommend this bakery to anyone ❤️“

“Just had our first cake. It was so good I can't wait to try more!“
