“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 . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . OUR CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TOUGH LIKE ( MANILA PHILIPPINES ) MAYOR FRANCISCO DOMOGOSO HE MADE N MAKING MANILA A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN . MANILA IS HOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN HERCULES !! HE WAS JUST A MAYOR FOR 7 MOS BUT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOT ONLY IN MANILA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great, consistent crumbl quality/yummy, buttery cookies. The staff say hey and answered questions when I asked but were slow to explain that I needed to order on their electronic kiosk. Cookie quality made up for it all though ?

Parking: It’s in a big parking lot with Safeway and many other eateries and small retail shops.“

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

“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“

“Ok ok ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok“

“Acme Bread 🍞 is a hole in the wall, but well worth the trip. The smells of freshly baked loaves and pastries 🍰 are matched by the wide selection on display. Everything we bought was fabulous.
There is parking available, but it's tight.“

“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!“

“We ordered a vegan chocolate and strawberry cake for my sisters birthday, and she said it was the BEST vegan cake she has ever tasted! The chocolate cake was very moist and the strawberry filling was delicious! I loved the salt in the icing. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely ordering all our vegan cakes from here from now on!“

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

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

“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 found Fax & Fawn Bakehouse for the first time recently and I was impressed. Absolutely adored the house made bagel and other treats! The vegan schmear is Tofutti brand which they’ve doctored with salt and pepper. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-06“

“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 -- 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨“

“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.“

“So I went to 7-eleven in Vallejo the other day and came across a variety of great looking cakes that were individually packaged for about $5 I believe and something told me to try one. I am so glad I did!! I have found my future cake maker. I can’t tell you how delicious Cassandra’s cakes were I still can’t believe just how good they are and I’m so happy I walked into 7-eleven that day lol. I love that they somehow are distributed out here. It was very fresh and I even saved a piece for the next day and it tasted freshly made. 10/10 recommend!!“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“Beautiful space, wonderful addition to the community. Big fan of the grab and go section. However, I've visited over 5 times, and each time I found the drinks to be lackluster with much room for improvement. In my experience, the iced drinks are served with mostly melted ice and not enough ice. Every time I've visited, I've had to ask for an additional cup of ice to chill my beverage. I respect the vision and mission, and would love to see them invest in barista training.“

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

“This place is great!
We got a 3 leches cake and was delicious. And they decorated very nicely too (for a baby shower) I did added the baby bear though (to make it look extra.) but all my guests had doubles and told me how delicious the cake was. I would really recommend them.

They were clear about any extra charges etc. so nice they told me about it before agreeing to anything.

One thing I didn’t like was that I had previously gotten a cake from them and the price has gone up (from 2 months apart.) and when I asked why they didn’t answer my question!

I understand prices for everything is going up, so it makes sense. But it would be nice to know in advance they’ll increase prices.“

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

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

“Came here on a Monday morning around 945am, and there was a sign saying their dine-in location is in El Cerrito, whereas this location in Berkeley is a bakery. I was looking for a sit-down kind of place so I moved on I’m figuring I’ll be back, but wanted folks to know about this in case like me you were looking for a different dining experience. (To management: please clarify if what I’m saying is inaccurate. Thanks)“

“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.“

“The best homemade bread and pastries.“

“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. 😋“

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

“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!!“

“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“

“I recently tried empanadas for the first time from this bakeshop, and I also purchased their Mango Nirvana cake. The cake was absolutely perfect, and the empanadas were delicious. The bakeshop has a spacious sitting area, and the staff provided quick and efficient service.“

“The Filipino deserts app has mold. Brought these to a party and thank God it was discovered by my guests at the party. Called to get a refund and below me off as a joke. Mind you my wife and I live one hour away and demanded that we bring back the product that was purchased back to them to inspect. I have been purchasing deserts from them for over 35 years and spend a lot of money. So sad and no accountability and glad no one got sick. I will be letting the San Bernardino health dept know of this crooked establishment not following State and court health codes.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Kelby Chao loves it. Enough Said. And now they deliver to my door step!! Win!!!“

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

“Ordered food to be delivered. Although they were out of apple pie they made sure to call and ask if I’d like berry instead (very delicious.) The bread for the French dip was a little small for the amount of meat on the sandwich, didn’t take away from the quality of the meal.“
