5 Best Bakeries in Hayward

“We got our wedding cake and cupcakes here and just wow. They tasted amazing, looked fantastic, and were everything we wanted. It was so nice to be able to come in and sample things, and work with them to get exactly the look we wanted. Would absolutely recommend.“

“We get off the plane in Dublin and Firehouse is our first stop. Have been going here for years and their food and coffee never disappoints. I love sipping coffee in front of the fireplace while noshing on their amazing food. Everyone there is so friendly and happy to explain what everything is. This is also our last stop before flying home to stock upon batch loaf and pastries. Love this place.“

“Good variety of all things food. Baking goods, meat, snacks, cheese, yogurt, condiments, tea, coffee, drinks, salads, soup, eggs (my favorite), and the popular sandwiches (hot & cold) including the Unwich, an underrated lettuce wrap. The place gets busy and packed for a small store, but the expansion is coming soon so there will be more room and it's a well deserved popular place for the people of Hayward and many more to enjoy their goods.“

“The barista was an absolute delight! She greeted me joyfully, recommended a specific specialty coffee to meet my needs, and carried on a full conversation as part of the transaction. All I needed/wanted was a cup of coffee and I got so much more!!“

“Our Homestead Bird (26 lbs) fed our family of13 with moist flavorful Thanksgiving turkey. Fantastic apple cranberry and maple pecan pies were to die for. We will definitely be back next year.“
