50 Best Cafes near Hercules

“What a cute place! I really loved the strawberry cupcake and the Biscoff cupcake. Not overly sweet, the whipped cream is buttery. Just so yummy. Also, a very clean and welcoming place with the decor and board games available. Happy that a place like this is in Hercules.“

“This place is such a hidden gem. I thought it was a just a donut shop but they have so many boba and coffee and breakfast/lunch options. I tried this Vietnamese coffee and honestly it was probably one of the best iced coffees I’ve tried in my 21 years of life I’m not even exaggerating lmao. The perfect amount of sweetness - I asked for less sweet but is also strong to give you energy for the day. The guy who helped me was super friendly and patient. If I could I would come buy their viet iced coffee every morning … Definitely would love to come back to try their banh mi and other drink options and I recommend for anyone wanting to try a new coffee shop or if you wanna try Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time!!“

“Hizcafe is a wonderful spot in Hercules, perfectly located by the waterfront with beautiful bay views and a welcoming outdoor atmosphere. The shaded patio is dog-friendly and ideal for relaxing with a drink while enjoying the scenic surroundings.
The drink menu is excellent, offering a range of rich and robust coffee options—from classic espresso drinks to indulgent lattes and macchiatos. Tea lovers will find a nice selection of teas, and there are also refreshing cold beverages available. Every drink is crafted with care, making Hizcafe a great place to start your day or unwind in the afternoon.
While there’s no indoor seating, WiFi, or restrooms, the friendly staff and peaceful outdoor setting make Hizcafe a standout choice for anyone seeking quality drinks and a relaxing environment by the water.“

“Very good cappuccino: not just a small latté. Lox, egg, capers, on gluten-free toast was well done. Lots of Palestinian baked goods.

Nice corner location on Shattuck. Great light and solid wood tables. Outdoor tables too.

Order in-person or by touchscreen.

The EDM playing is on the mellow side.“

“Thank You for the Vegan options!! 🌱“

“When searching for a quick, easy, and filling lunch during my break, I ended up here at this cute little Viet Bagel & Banh Mi shop called Tay Tah Cafe!

When you first enter, you’re guided by arrows that lead you to the ordering tablet, or you can order at the main counter. The shop is small, but has plenty of counter seating and some small tables available as well! In between the front door and ordering, there’s a selection of chips and snacks for you to browse as well.

I was initially looking to order Banh Mi but was a bit intimidated by the $17/banh mi price tag. I opted in for an open face Asiago Bagel with Lox for $13 and placed my order. Breakfast orders that are $10+ get a free house coffee as well, so of course I opted in for it!

There’s a bathroom just around the corner from the ordering kiosk, but while I was making my way over there, the kind staff let me know that they are actually sold out of lox. They offered me a refund or to change what I ordered. I decided to switch to the Asiago Bagel with Ham, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese since it was the same price as the Lox!

My coffee came out first, and the person who gave me my coffee also filled up my cup with ice when I asked! The coffee itself had a nice deep & bitter flavor which I look for in a house coffee.

The sandwich was STUFFED full. I’ve never had a bagel breakfast sandwhich where I’ve quite had to unhinge my jaw like this. My photos did not do the sandwich justice, but I promise it’s so much bigger than you’d expect!

The eggs were perfectly fluffy and smothered in cheese. The ham and bacon were cooked to my personal liking. If you like crispy bacon, maybe mention that to them, because it was perfectly chewy for me. The bagel, was soft, fluffy, yet so bouncy, and I LOVE that there are poppy seeds mixed into their Asiago bagel.

The cost to quantity ratio for the breakfast sandwich was 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be back when I need a hearty sandwich.“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“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!!“

“I went to watch a band perform. I am impressed with the atmosphere. There is a good amount of seating. I didn't order any food. The food I saw looked really good. I recommend this place. And will go back. The place can use better bathrooms thou. They're portable toilets.“

'il Paris indeed!!“

“I appreciate when a restaurant gives you a reasonable amount of food on your plate. My breakfast was the right size to feel satiated and not overly full. The potato wedges were well cooked and tasty. Coffee is self serve, so no worries about cups being empty. It's a bit small inside, so seating might be an issue if they are busy. Definitely a great breakfast place“

“Found this place by accident. Everyone here, both employees and park visitors alike, is friendly towards both humans and dogs. The club was quite delicious, and Copper just gave compliments (a la belch) to the chef of his hot dog! And the view is quite picturesque.“

“We loved this place... huge portions and great homemade bread!! Huge fluffy pancakes!! Delicious!!“

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

“Among all the Berkeley dining locations, this is easily one of the best places. Their menu has so much variety and hot beverages that you cannot find in many dining halls! It could be very crowded so make sure you leave enough time for the line. Otherwise, awesome choice and highly recommended!“

“I enjoyed visiting Cha Thai tea! The employees are always very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations. I really enjoyed this drink (I think it was a coconut avocado special? I forgot to look at the exact name of the drink) and pandan custard toast. I also enjoyed the mango coco the previous time I came here. They have a smaller, simpler menu that's not too overwhelming but the ingredients seem very fresh and tasty! I'll definitely be back!“

“While we were remodeling our kitchen we went to joes maybe 3-5 days each week! We love this place. Great lattes, my kids love the milkshakes/ice cream and we all really appreciate the fresh Acme bread you can pick up from here! Thanks Joes!“

“Just had my 3rd dining experience this morning and all 3 breakfast meals have been fantastic! As a person on the carnivore diet, I find it refreshing I can order an all protein meal and be completely satiated without paying an arm and a leg. Eggs were scrambled perfectly and the bacon was delicious. And who could have thought a simple burger patty could taste so good. Must be a magic griddle! Highly recommend! Oh, and service is amazing. My Americano was tasty!“

“I love their chopped salad and their lemon bundt cake!“

“This is a cafe is located at plaza drive vallejo, serving boba and blended drinks. The location is not as noticeable as the other competition and limited parking near the store, although you can still park in the samw plaza but has to go across and walk.

Fast, clean place and good customer service. I have tried different drinks and my favorite is the Tiger boba. I recommend it if you like coffee and have a sweet tooth.“

“Since this Cafe is so close to my house, I love taking my friends here when they come visit. The town of Orinda always gives me this feeling of leisure and grabbing a bite at Cafe Teatro helps to calm my mind. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available but I prefer outdoor for the sense of serenity (and because I get to look at my motorcycle while I eat). Love the Melts and Espresso here!“

“I never found the Golf Course meeting people is different since I forgot half of the amount of difference Vallejo Development has been since I never made it“

“drinks are always good and it’s never a hit or miss. i always get the same thing but it’s always good or better than the last time never a one hit wonder! the sandwich i got which was the turkey avocado sandwich was okay. a lot of avocado and onion but little turkey. i’m sure you ask for your specific topping preferences that wouldn’t be a problem. found out about this place a couple weeks ago and have been a regular ever since. my new favorite boba place ever since the first time i came. highly recommend! (the boba in the picture is the devil zang zang, if you like boba and oreo and don’t know what to try definitely get that. it’s also the middle boba picture on the window.)“

“Was on a morning walk and noticed this place was open. Got a breakfast sandwich and a hazelnut latte. Both were great tasting. Nice clean beautiful place. I'll definitely be back for more. The coffee was a little light so next time add an additional shot.“

“One of my favorite dining places! Strongly recommended to anyone looking for a healthy eat.“

“Best beans I have EVER had! Must order!!“

“the hot beverages & sandwiches 😋“
