“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 . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . 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 !!

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“I spent about $45…for a whole bunch of yummy stuff! It’s amazing to be able to go straight to the bakery, and also kind of dangerous. You can see some of the menu on the window outside as you wait in line (there will almost always be a line), and you can peek in and see the day’s selection of breads and pastries. Only two parties at a time fit inside to order. There’s a small parking lot in front and more parking behind. I highly recommend the seasonal focaccia pizzas! An pain epi, just yum.“

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

“I bought a lemon cake for a dinner party and it was a hit, with everyone going for a second piece. The person who served me was very friendly and helpful. There's no shortage of bakeries in the East Bay but I can't see a reason to go somewhere else for a cake.“

“Order - Two ube chocolate donuts.
Texture - Typical, slightly chewy, sponge almost. It was good.
Taste - Chocolate flavor wasn’t that deep and the ube was also on the light side. Mostly sugary as most donuts are.
Price - $1-2 ish dollars per donut.
Not what I’m looking for personally but it’s not a bad choice if you’re looking for the classic donut.“

“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“

“Great, consistent crumbl quality/yummy, buttery cookies. The staff say hey and answered questions when I asked but were slow to explain that I needed to order on their electronic kiosk. Cookie quality made up for it all though ?

Parking: It’s in a big parking lot with Safeway and many other eateries and small retail shops.“

“Everyone is super nice!!! I haven't had anything there that wasn't super delicious, you can't walk by without popping in to see what goodies they have...oh and their pizza during the Thursday farmer's market is a MUST!!!“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Excellent service and the food very rich in flavor and freshness. Freshly baked bread, egg cooked instantly and to order. The dishes are very basic but full of authentic flavor. I recommend the Mexican champurrado. It's delicious

Dietary restrictions: You can ask to add or change ingredients to order.“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“This is a beautiful store outside and inside. After stalking this restaurant on Instagram and after I missed pop-up events for Oktoberfest, I finally bought some pretzels. Yummy! It was well worth the wait. I scored some of the weekly specials, the pesto and mozzarella pretzel. I also bought the jalapeño and cheddar. I will never buy one of those pretzels off the street carts ever again. I used to buy Auntie Annie’s soft pretzels at the mall, but never again. I am officially a pretzel snob now. I am making plans to go back to Squabisch for the pretzel sandwiches. The fresh quality ingredients are evident in every bite.“

“This place is great!
We got a 3 leches cake and was delicious. And they decorated very nicely too (for a baby shower) I did added the baby bear though (to make it look extra.) but all my guests had doubles and told me how delicious the cake was. I would really recommend them.

They were clear about any extra charges etc. so nice they told me about it before agreeing to anything.

One thing I didn’t like was that I had previously gotten a cake from them and the price has gone up (from 2 months apart.) and when I asked why they didn’t answer my question!

I understand prices for everything is going up, so it makes sense. But it would be nice to know in advance they’ll increase prices.“

“Perfect food gift for sourdough lovers - local, lightweight, and long lasting! So excited to discover these semifreddi crostini in bags.

For lunch had a tasty grab and go chicken muffaletta sandwich and I love knowing it's on Semifreddi bread made in Alameda.“

“I have worked around the corner from Bench for years. I only recently got into coffee and so I've tried pretty much ever coffee shop in the near vicinity and this is by far the best latte in the area. Don't forget there is an upstairs seating area with a table and chairs.

The only thing that I would prefer is to have a couple comfortable chairs upstairs. If I could sit in a cushy chair I'd be so happy! But it's comfortable enough to be my go to spot now!“

“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!“

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

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!“

“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!“

“Delicious selection of cakes and breads that made it tough going selecting just a few. In the end we settled on the lemon meringue tart, apple crumble slice and a baked cheesecake. All were delicious. We also grabbed a cold sausage roll for heating later on and it was a monster. I have reviewed Almost French Bakery before but it’s missing off Zomato.“

“So I went to 7-eleven in Vallejo the other day and came across a variety of great looking cakes that were individually packaged for about $5 I believe and something told me to try one. I am so glad I did!! I have found my future cake maker. I can’t tell you how delicious Cassandra’s cakes were I still can’t believe just how good they are and I’m so happy I walked into 7-eleven that day lol. I love that they somehow are distributed out here. It was very fresh and I even saved a piece for the next day and it tasted freshly made. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Def worth the 2 yr wait ... awesome spot to chill and eat. Now if the city would fix upper telegraph ave ... Lexxx KALX-FM“

“The best, Best, B-E-S-T (!!!) quiche, in the world. Ever, even... Thank you, Starter Bakers!“

“I love this local donut shop... They are very nice and they move very quickly. The thing I really like is that they go out their way to make sure they keep my favorite donuts when I go there try to keep a few extra every day just in case I come in now that's customer service.“

“I’ve had their cakes and cupcakes… Super delicious! I would recommend this bakery to anyone ❤️“

“Perhaps some of the best papusa and tamales I have had in the Bay Area. Amazing stuff! A good amount of bean stuffing in the papusa, not too much dough, and all the way to edge of the papusa. Same with tamales -- a good amount of stuffing and not too much masa, plus it was super soft and not dried out even though it was sitting outside on our table for a while. Unique drink made from barley (maybe a tad too sweet).
All of these were made vegan and delicious.
The person in charge said it's his mother's recipe, and the mother was working there too. A sweet family run small business.
You can tell this place is for locals and repeat visitors. Friendly, chill vibes and service. It's just a drag to get to El Sobrante 😄“

“The best homemade bread and pastries.“

“I love Starbucks and I have to give them five stars, but sometimes when I go, my caramel macchiato will taste like hot milk . I know it’s because they have different people working, but I’m sure they have a recipe. It’s so annoying when my coffee taste like hot milk. Not to mention they’re quite costly.“

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

“We have been going to Dianna's for years. We moved to the area back in 2014, and found out in 2017 that my husband was celiac.

Dianna makes all her cakes, cookies, breads and pastries with loving care, and makes many items gluten free, which is such a treat for my husband.

Her sandwiches and coffee are good too, and she usually has homemade GF bread in reserve to make a quick GF sandwich for those requiring it.

Like any "local store", product availability varies. Some days my husband can get GF Banana Bread or Carrot Cake. Other times, those aren't available but GF Zucchini Bread and Red velvet cake are. It's actually a nice surprise.

I suspect Dianna's was hit hard by Covid, and I know she's mostly a one-man show now, which must be a lot of work. But she does a good job of cranking out the goodies and serving them up well.

If you're in the area, especially if you are celiac, I highly recommend giving Dianna's a try for lunch or coffee/tea and baked goods!“

“My mother just turned 92. She loves Peanut Butter Cookies, and has VERY discerning taste (all 92-year olds do!) The delightful folks from Nuttin Butter Cookies, responded to my order placed on a weekend, baked the cookies, and delivered them fresh from the oven! They are so big, mom is making each one last 3 days!Simply amazing! More cookie orders coming soon!“

“We are loyal customers. Cakes for every family celebration including a wedding in 2018. The quality, consistency and delicious selection can’t be beat. Thank you and keep up the great baking“

“Long time customer. Ordered bacon and cheese quiche to eat in and a chicken turnover to take home. Both were excellent. Also my standard a blueberry Danish and their dark roast coffee. Just wish they would return some of the savory baked goods from the past like mustard laced cheese sticks and cheese scones.“

“My fiancee and I love Diane's banana bread. With a soft and fluffy texture, it has the perfect sweetness to banana ratio. The cinnamon crumble ontop, certainly added an extra tasty surprise. She is sooo nice too!!! We will be back for more!!“

“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!“

“The place is very affordable, which carries great merit, considering that Sheng Kee operates in the Bay Area. The pastries taste great for the price. The service is relatively friendly and quick at checking out your order. The only possible concern would be the lack of preservatives in the pastries, making these pastries to deteriorate in quality fast. It was not visibly dirty either. Overall, a great place to get a quick bite.“

“Make sure to go to their next pop up, everything from bread, pastries, croissants, cookies, all delicious, not to mention a very wonderful selection of homemade preserves😋“

“I tried my first muffin today and it was love at first bite� This is exactly what I need to curb my sweet tooth!“

“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!!“

“Love Crumbl! This location is located right by UC Berkeley so the parking is pretty wild. Usually my Husband will pull up and I’ll hop out and run in while he parks around the block. TEAMWORK MAKE THE DREAM WORK! The cookies are soooo good and the sugar here is always nice and welcoming!“

“This San Francisco neighborhood spot makes amazing cakes! I can’t wait for our next cake order for an upcoming party! I’ll post pics afterwards :) They always turn out stunning.“

“The Hidden Cafe is a true gem in Berkeley! The atmosphere is incredibly inviting, with a cozy library-like interior and a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the park. The pastries are delicious, especially the sweet potato brownie and the vegan options. The coffee is excellent, and the Kokuto Latte is a must-try. I especially appreciate the friendly staff and the welcoming ambiance. To elevate the experience even further, I recommend The Hidden Cafe consider using Tuneast to create a unique music space. With Tuneast, you can easily curate playlists and allow customers to vote for their favorite songs, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to this already wonderful cafe.“
