11 Best Cafes in Hayward

“A hidden gem in the city of Hayward. They also have live music first Saturday of the month at noon. Highly recommended“

“What a lovely place! Good food, good prices. Came late on a Wednesday morning and they had a constant stream of people...some were obviously regular customers. Totally would come here again. Recommend bringing cash just in case their credit card machine isn't working.“

“Very polite staff and merchandise selection is huge. Very nice customer service and price is very low from other Indian stores.“

“Big, yummy, fluffy and crispy variety of donuts made fresh everyday and sold at this small local business. Sharing space with a good number of small shops, there's plenty of parking and activities to fill up your morning or afternoon or simply to just complete your errands. The shop itself is decent sized and hosts a few seats and tables for dine in, however, it was pretty quiet when we went in the afternoon just before closing time. The place is pretty clean and they have a huge display case for their donuts of the day. They do also serve drinks but although they've advertised boba, they do not currently have boba available. They do have your typical coffee drinks and Vietnamese coffee for those you want something stronger. We first heard about this donut shop through Too Good To Go and had a great experience with their donut variety and quality. The donuts we got included cake and fried dough versions and were topped with sugar, sprinkles, frosting, or coconut flakes. They were all delicious and filling for their size! Cinnamon sugar old fashioned - I am a sucker for old fashioned donuts and this one hits the spot! Crispy exterior, fluffy interior, and light sweetness due to the sugar was divine. Glazed old fashioned - Well done! Glaze was not too sweet and the donut retained its fluffy interior. Strawberry frosting cake donut - This was a tasty change up to your typical fruity flavored donut. The cake base made this hearty yet the fruity frosting lifted the weight a bit and balanced the richness of each bite. Plus it's pink and beautiful! Chocolate frosting cake donut with sprinkles - Fun sprinkles to lighten up your day while devouring the richness in the chocolate frosting and cake base. Not my typical go to but it was good! Vanilla frosting with sprinkles - I'm not a fan of vanilla but I did give this a try and it was good! Bright colors as with most sprinkles and light, fluffy dough base made it a pleasant treat. Chocolate frosting cake donut with coconut flakes - I despite coconut flakes on anything but still gave this one a try. The chocolate helped balance the coconut out and made it tolerable for me. The coconut added a bit of texture to each bite which paired well with the cake base. Pretty filling and if you're a coconut lover, this might be the one for you. Not me though! Glazed original - Classic! Airy, fluffy and lightly sweet. Perfection! We were a bit donutted out but we did get a glimpse at other items they carried. They have HUGE croissants that you could order just as featured or make it a croissant-wich. Also if you're a bear claw fan, the ones they have are gigantic! Overall, Fairway Park Donuts carry all your favorites and executed them well at a very fair price. The owner communicates well and is friendly. The space is well maintained and the location is convenient for commuters. If you happen to come here for the indoor playground with your kids, this is a nice place to go beforehand to top up your caffeine and grab a quick bite. Hope to be back here soon to try their other goodies!“

“We are not from the area and the hotel we stayed at didn’t have breakfast or coffee.. I looked up breakfast near me and this place popped up. We decided to try it. Everything seems very reasonably priced. My husband had the Lox bagel and said it was amazing. And I ordered an iced white mocha and I have to say I think it’s better than Starbucks! I wish we had one of these back where I’m from I’d be here almost everyday if I could!“

“The Lorraine's cafe food truck was at my work today and I have to say it's the BEST fried chicken I've ever eaten. The breading was crispy, loaded with spices and flavor, but layered on thicker than the substantial hunk of meat which was perfectly cooked to juicy, mouth watering perfection. I may have to track this food truck down again!“

“I am sitting waiting for my friend at Amy's. She invited me and I remembered our local restaurant. The service was great and food was great also. The place is great and not noisy. The next time I am asked to pick a restaurant I am going to ask to go there.“

“I really enjoy trying all the old school diners and restaurants in southern Alameda County! Anna's is super cute from the outside, in a small building with a long Scandanavian-style eave and a decent-sized parking lot. Inside is a mix of older brown booths and tables. Service is prompt and friendly.I opted for Alan's omelette, minus the mushrooms, and thought the eggs very well cooked. More filling would be nice, but the sprinkle of melted cheese on top was great. Also loved their homemade salsa on the omelette. The home fries are lovely - cooked to a creamy, soft inside with a bit of crumbly crust on the outside.I look forward to trying the chilaquiles and machaca in the future! There are also lunch options, both American and Mexican.“

“Great portions and service!I called 10min prior and my BBQ pork sandwich was hot and ready for me upon arrival. As other reviews have stated, the bread was the perfect buttery-toasted state, and NOT so hard/crunchy that it'd hurt your mouth.There was a ton of meat in my sandwich, which was awesome! I think the marinade and the sauce could've used a little more flavor, though. There was plenty of sauce, but it was more of a generic mayo and the sandwich lacked a bit of acidity and sweetness, despite the bits of pickled veggies that were included.Next time, I'd be interested in trying their combination sandwich, but I don't know if I'd crave the BBQ pork one again due to its lack of flavor.The store is really spacious and there's plenty of seating, for those who wish to eat there!“

“Great place for breakfast and lunch! They have a variety of fusion foods like sandwiches and crepes to choose from. We ordered: - Vietnamese coffee: coffee taste was strong but not bitter, and sweetened with rich condensed milk. The drink was the perfect amount of sweetness. Really good Viet coffee! - croissant sandwich: sandwich came out hot with the croissant having a nice crunch. Bacon was flavorful and crunchy. The portions are just right for breakfast/brunch and they give kettle chips on the side. - crepe with strawberry and banana: the crepe itself was soft and freshly made. Lots of chocolate sauce and added a scoop of ice cream. Overall, it's a good place for coffee or breakfast/lunch! The price point is good and they have many options to choose from. The staff are nice and accommodating.“

“Started working nearby here about two months ago and get my lunch from here daily. The staff is flat out amazing to me. There’s two managers there a female and a male that are always working hard and getting orders out.The cashiers etc have always been pleasant as well. I really appreciate coming here.“
