50 Best Cafes near Hercules

“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!“

“Best Boba in town and East Bay. Their pearls are so soft, even when refrigerated...they come out still soft. I love all their boba flavors, and you seriously have to try it to know. Their banh mi is good too, but their boba and smoothies are literally amazing. 10/10. Don't believe me, just try it.“

“Came here for a quick drink in the morning. I ordered a matcha iced drink. Best matcha ever!! Very sweet and creamy I did do soy milk. Also convinced me to order the breakfast empanada with mango habanero salsa and wow just wow! 🤩 will be coming back for this gem!“

“Thank You for the Vegan options!! 🌱“

“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!!“

“Crazy cozy & laid back cafe right on Shattuck just north of University Ave. Very solid lunch & brunch style menu & well priced. Turkey Crunch croissant sandwich w/ pesto was phenomenal. Chai latte to go was one of the best I’ve had in the Bay. & they have a Gelato bar? What?? 5 stars.“

“So beautiful. So delicious. All the pastries look like works of art. I personally love the Horseshoe and Jalousie pastry. It’s not too sweet, wonderfully flaky, and very flavorful. The coffee is authentically strong which I really enjoy. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I truly enjoyed visiting and can’t wait to come back!!“

“I’ve only had their smoothies and tasted the ice cream . It’s pretty good haven’t been disappointed . Thai tea ice cream is fire 🔥 . They do close early , earlier than their posted hours though sometimes a half hour early so best to arrive over an hour before they close . I haven’t tried their banh mi but they do seem pricey at nearly 18 dollars each!“

“My friend took me here for a pre-birthday brunch today! I ate the savoury porridge bowl which was DELICIOUS! Service was great, food was even better and I'll be returning again and again! Well done Evergreen - also you support local artsits which is AWESOME :)“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“Really good for what it is. We came on a Sat evening at 6pm (they close at 7pm). We were there until 715pm, and people were still chilling outside eating. 7-8 groups of ppl from 2 to 7 pplv in each group. Nice atmosphere, outdoor space is cute, music not loud, and she changed it when it was too 60's (most of us were in our 40's or younger).
We had the sliders (3 diff burgers, one chicken) and they were good, with fries = $22. Perfect for 2 of us girls. And we had 2 canned beers from Oakland brewery = $10 each. They were good too. Total with tax was $46.
We'll be back!“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“Great little cafe spot, and with community- minded goals. One section of the restaurants displays impressive hand made gifts for purchase. Indoor and outdoor seating (covered! ) avail. Real food and drinks avail - small menu but with enough variety for dietary prefs. 2 other related businesses next door make it a good spot for some wandering, strolling, relaxing as well!“

“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!!“

“Most delicious cup of coffee on campus!“

“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!“

“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!“

“A pretty nice cafe cat this dog park serving... Hot dogs! But they also have an extensive breakfast menu and of course, many drinks being a cafe with many coffees and smoothies and even soft drinks. All the condiments are to the side to the right and coffee's related stuff is on the left. Best of all they have free water for all the doggies around!“

“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“

“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.“

“the hot beverages & sandwiches 😋“
