The perfect stop in Hercules, with a gorgeous view of the water. Had a taro milk tea, a chicken empanada (get the chimichurri!) & a guava alfajor — all delicious! The seating is only outdoors & is limited but it is a spot deserving of your business. Fast service & fantastic food & drink in a beautiful spot — what more could you ask for?

The beef and chicken empanadas were very delicious ( especially beef ), along with the mango habanero sauce. The hot chocolate tasted like sweet watered-down caramel 2% milk. It wasn't chocolaty at all.

I've tried the empanadas (spinach, mushroom, chorizo, chicken), chimichurii sauce and drip coffee so far. Honestly, the empanadas taste fantastic, and I feel they're decently priced for the size.
The black coffee tasted great; no poor after taste.
Vegetarian options: I tried spinach and the mushroom.
Good breakfast empanada and strawberry refresher. Great stop along the bay trail

A little gem in Hercules, tucked in a little cozy corner in the neighborhood. It is within walking distance of the water. It is very cozy so seating can be limited when busy. They serve coffee, a little breakfast and sandwiches. We had some chicken empanadas, but they also have other flavors. We also had some corn tamales, which is sweet masa. A great place to stop on your walk or meet a friend. It's really cute.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed and they serve fruit smoothies.
Great coffee and empanada. Several vegetarian options are available.

Super nice little spot overlooking the water. Very peaceful, nice vibes here. The empanadas are solid but a bit overpriced at +$7 each. The mango habanero salsa was delicious

The best Colombian coffee in the entire region, excellent service
Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy.The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Tried their Chai latte (iced), and caramel latte (iced) and they were both PERFECT! I used to go to Peet’s for their chai, but after today I think I much prefer Hizacafe. I will say Peet’s chai is still amazing, it tastes thicker, is darker, and sweeter. But Hizacafe has that authentic chai taste and frankly, less sweet is always better anyways! I’m not a fan of caramel, but I had a sip of my sisters and I have to say I could see the appeal. Didn’t try their foods but next time I’ll definitely try it out. I like that they have the menu outside and a small window to order and get your order. They have tables outside so you can sit and relax by the ocean.
