Perfect little place for a coffee shop. Near the trail and the ocean, all you need is a cup or two of decent coffee or tea to go with your morning or afternoon walk.

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.

I'm glad to finally have a place in Hercules that makes good Ube drinks. I had their Ube Latte and today I had a chance to try their Ube slushy and it's delicious. This will be my stop over before hubby and go for a long

Super cute tiny cafe by the bay! It felt surreal - like it's an extremely cute residental street. Lots of parking by the bay.They have great selection of colombian coffee, empanadas, and alfajors! I had an ice coffee, perfect treat and stop on a long drive.Plenty of patio seats with the bay view. It's so nice and peaceful here.You can also walk by the bay! But I definitely got bitten by a mosquito even at like 4pm so be careful!

Got myself an iced vanilla latte and it was soooo good! It was a bit on the sweet side, but I have a major sweet tooth so it hit the spot. Just a heads up if you're not into sweet.

First time trying this place out and it did not disappoint! It is basically an order to go and dine outside place. Seating is very limited only about 12-15 chairs outside. It's right next to the shore so you can count on a nice view and fresh breeze!The service is really good, employees are fast and very kind. The food and drinks are also really great! I tried the passion fruit refresher with sparkling water and lychee jelly which was nice and refreshing ;) I got through half the drink before remembering to take a photo. The empanadas were super tasty! They were both packed with flavor and the dough was a nice soft texture. I tried it with and without mango habanero sauce and either way was really yummy! If you live in the area or are dropping by the area you should visit this place for a great drink or snack! They even serve sandwiches and other great meals that i hope to try out in the future!

I ordered an iced latte and hot chai from here - and both were okay. I did like the apple empanada, but the breakfast one was not my favorite. I ordered through doordash and everything was packaged well which was a plus.
