“Best everything!! Pasta, sandwiches, bread spaghetti and pizzas plus all of the delectable baked goods are the best. I will keep going back!!“

“I look forward to every trip I make to the East Bay and especially the mornings, when I drive just down the road to this old school donut shop. They make donuts the way I use to like them as a child over 50 years ago. I especially love the apple fritters and the breakfast sandwiches, but all the donuts are great! If you remember the donuts of long ago, long before the Krispy Kreme and other modern gourmet donut nonsense, then give Alhambra Donuts a try!“

“Staff was very friendly and the pastries are always delicious (not too sweet, great texture, and tasty flavors)! The variety of flavors available makes it difficult to choose just 1.
They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is comfortable.“

“This is a wonderful place to get a good cup of coffee and a delicious savory or sweet pastry. Please spread the word this bakery is located in a strip mall that is going down hill. This Bakery brings class to the area.“

“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!“

“Wonderful cookies, Excellent Consumer service“

“So far, so good. I'm waiting on my first order which is arriving tomorrow. The order process was quick and painless and I expect the delivery will be as well. I hope the cookies are as good as they look! But either way, I'll post an edit and let you know.“

“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“

“We are regulars but never got around to writing a review! Tonight we had the best experience with Nellie and appreciated her kindness and easy conversation. And to top it off, we got a fresh delicious cookie right out of the oven :) The biscoff one is our fav!“

“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 .

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 !!

“Ever since my wife and I discovered this Persian market place we have stopped going anywhere else to get Sangak break, Kabob kobideh, Chickhen kabob (not salty nor greasy), Kaleh pache very clean and delicious. Thank you.“

“Cute little cupcake spot. The cupcakes here are absolutely wonderful! We've been here a few times and have ordered cakes from here as well. Sweet and tasty cupcakes with lots of flavors to choose from. They do serve coffee and cookies as well 😋 🍪. Whenever we are in the area we like to grab some coffee and cupcakes and walk down towards the water where we like to sit amd enjoy the view while munching on some delightful snacks from Fox and Fawn.“

“I just want to point out this place! The baked goods are just like those on the cozy streets of Europe, fresh and incredibly delicious! Now I often stop here, get a cup of espresso and always grab a couple of treats for my wife. They have a huge variety of breads! They said they bake everything in the morning, which makes the baked goods special!

If you never stopped here, hey, just try! Believe me, you’ll love it!“

“I stopped by here for a quick bite and was blown away by the quality. Everything I tried was incredibly fresh and flavorful.

The variety in the display case is impressive, especially those cookies labeled for pumpkin chocolate chip. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they bake. I will definitely be coming back soon to try more of their menu.“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“I always have a wonderful experience at this Vallejo (Maria and Mimi) location. The shop is spotless, bright, and has a very welcoming atmosphere. More than anything, the staff goes above and beyond—they are so warm, hardworking, and genuinely kind. Whether you are grabbing a quick box of flaky empanadas, some savory Pancit Palabok, or picking up their signature Mango Supreme cake for a family birthday, the quality is always fresh and delicious. It truly feels like a little piece of home away from home. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“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!“

“My first experience with the house of bagels, but in the late 60s, I attended high school with one of the sons and also had my first Onion flat. After moving back from New York and year 2000 I was glad to see that they were still in business, And that whenever I am in and around always without hesitation, stop by to pick up some bagels or two or three🥰“

“We ordered several flavors of cupcakes and one small cake to serve as the dessert at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding this past weekend, after having tasted multiple flavors a few weeks earlier. The cupcakes (including GF and vegan options) were all outstanding - so delicious, moist, and beautiful. The cake was equally fabulous and attractive. Many guests agreed that they'd never had better cupcakes, or a better dessert at a wedding. So good and so memorable - just what our daughter hoped for.“

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

“Fabulously, delicious cupcakes for our daughters 7 year birthday party. Catastic! Thanks smallcakes!“

“Excelente lugar con los alfajores mas deliciosos !“

“Crack Bread is frigging Awesome Buy in Bulk“

“The staff here were super friendly and nice. Had one of their famous cheese puff which had a sweet cheese inside. Also ate a pocket chicken pot pie, which was
warm and savory on the inside while being flaky and crispy on the outside. Loved both items I got! Will be coming back to try some of their other sweet items.

The indoor dining area is small, but there is bench seating outside. Sadly the FatApple’s restaurant next door is closed.“

“We absolutely loved the ham , spinach and cheese crepe and the awesome potatoes and cappuccino as well!!😋“

“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!“

“Castagna is a lovely spot! My husband and I just stepped in there for a quiet coffee and a croissant. I felt like I was in Italy! The coffee was absolutely delicious and the hot almond croissant and toasted focaccia with jam and butter was delectable. Our Sweet server was kind, warm and inviting. I highly recommend Castagna!“

“10/10 pastries, perfectly made! I bought a Tarte au Citron, a honey lavender latte, and a seasonal kouign amann. The employees were very kind and gave great recommendations! I’m definitely coming back.“

“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“

“Truly the best pastries in the East Bay.

We are so lucky to have a pastry program of this caliber in the suburbs. These pastries are absolutely destination-worthy—the guava danish is easily one of the top five pastries I’ve had anywhere in the world. You can taste the care, craftsmanship, and creativity in every item, and it’s clear how much love the husband-and-wife owners pour into their work.

The only thing missing, in my opinion, is espresso beverages. If they added a coffee program, I’d probably find myself here multiple times a week (or even daily). That said, the pastries alone make this place a must-visit.“

“The best homemade bread and pastries.“

“Omg! I love walking into your bakery! It makes me smile really big! Fudge brownies with cream cheese are the best in the world! My favorite is coconut cream pies! Reminds me of my beautiful grandmas pies when I was a child. Thank you for your service and your commitment to help serve our community. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.“

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

“Marky and Aron are amazing sales associates. They always take my orders and prepare them perfectly. They’re always here and I feel bad because I feel like they never get a break from work, but they’re honestly the best customer service that red ribbon has to offer give these guys a raise!!!!“

“Tony created an unforgettable moment in time for my entire family with the Loki Gator birthday cake that he custom made for my sister-in-law. Tony is professional with his beautiful website, clear communication, and makes you feel like family in his warm hospitality. This was the first cake I ever had made by Tony, and it exceeded my expectations. The cake tastes as good as it looks. Upon tasting my first bite I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood remembering the rich unique textures and flavors of a cake from long ago. The entire process of ordering the cake, submitting payment, and picking up the finished product went so smoothly. I simply sent Tony a picture of what I wanted, which was a random image my brother had text to me of a Loki Gator. Tony made fantasy a reality. Tony's Cakes has become our household standard. I will be returning for more "GLORIOUS" cakes as Loki would say! ***Anybody leaving negative reviews about Tony's Cakes probably didn't want to pay, failed to follow the clear instructions on the website contract, or is looking for someone to blame for their errors. Tony did everything his website and contract said he would do. When I arrived at the store all the staff made sure all of my needs were met while I was there, and Tony helped me figure out my Zelle payment, even more he helped us get the cake in the car all by himself. He really didn't have to do any of those things but he did. My only regret is that I should have thanked him more than I did in person, because I was distracted with getting the cake home safe. Dreams do come true at Tony's Cakes! If he did it for my family he can do it for yours too!“

“Nothing Bundt Cakes is my GO TO for birthdays! Everyone is always excited to see a Nothing Bundt Cake being served. I'm a chocolate lover, but my favorite cake is the raspberry lemon! Pair that with a box of See's candy and strawberries, and you have dessert for a party!!“

“I love how much effort was put in the cake I ordered for my 21st birthday! It was beautifully designed and tasted really good! 😊“

“Hello! Last week I went to try 85 bakery for the first time and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The service was magnificent. A young worker named, Andre, assisted me and recommended some of the greatest pastries I’ve ever had, along with a milk tea boba! I noticed, Andre, was very attentive to detail with what I was looking for and very generous. After this service and the delicious treats, I would definitely recommend 85 to a neighbor and or a friend! Thank you, Andre, for the smooth service! I will definitely come back soon!!“

“My co-worker treated our team to Whipt Cookies today, to celebrate my birthday! oh my goodness! They are screaming, melt in your mouth, delicious!!!! Definitely have to have these again!!“

“I had the pleasure of tasting Alisha’s Brownie Square with walnuts, and I was delighted by the rich fudgy center. It was a perfect balance of chocolate decadence not too rich or overpowering but just the right balance of goodness that kept me from saving any for later as I tried to put it away several times and found myself unwrapping it again for more until it was gone. The center was fudgy and smooth, the outside crunchy but still moist and not dry. The top was loaded with walnuts for that extra pop that made it a treat to eat and I almost felt guilty devouring it all as I wondered (wished) about how it would pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some hot fudge topping. I can't wait to get more and find out!!

Sorry I don't have a photo but I thought about taking one but couldn't bring myself to whip out my phone to snap one and then it was gone.

Definitely try this brownie with walnuts and you won't be disappointed!“

“Hands down the best English muffins I’ve ever had! Their signature breakfast sandwiches are also just as delicious! We’re so lucky to live close to Napa and it’s a treat to drive over on weekend mornings.“

“Omg! I love walking into your bakery! It makes me smile really big! Fudge brownies with cream cheese are the best in the world! My favorite is coconut cream pies! Reminds me of my beautiful grandmas pies when I was a child. Thank you for your service and your commitment to help serve our community. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.“
