After having driven by this cafe on multiple occasions, I finally stopped in here with a friend for breakfast. We each got the salmon bagel, tea, and a latte, then found a table on their cozy and beautiful back patio. The drinks came out in beautifully painted drink ware. This place was such a nice spot to catch up and chit chat over good food. The servers were super friendly and helpful, and we never once felt rushed to leave or vacate our table. The noise level was just right, too. You would think being on A St would mean we'd hear cars the entire time and would have to talk over other tables, but everyone was respectful of each other and my friend and I could hear one another speaking just fine. Parking is limited; there were maybe 4-5 spots on the side of Sandra's Barberia, but you can park on the street and walk over. read more

A Romo's Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Came in for a pot coffee (Cafe De Olla), it was delicious! The ladies that run the spot treat you with hospitality, kindness & respect, like you're at Abuelas house. The ambiance in the back feels just like it too, the seating & set up brings back that nostalgia. Great spot to enjoy a cup, good food, company or to work from. Vine por un café de olla y estaba delicioso. Las señoras que atienden el lugar te reciben con hospitalidad, cariño y respeto, como si estuvieras en casa de la abuela. El ambiente en la parte de atrás se siente igual: la forma de sentarse y el acomodo del espacio traen esa nostalgia tan bonita. Es un lugar excelente para disfrutar una taza de café, buena comida, buena compañía o incluso para trabajar desde ahí. read more

Super cute gem of a hole in the wall! Located on A St. Coming from Mission, the Cafe is right before Arteagas, can be easily missed. Parking is next door to the barber. You can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in :) walls decorated with lovely mexican handicrafts, trademarking the aesthetic. I ordered the Caesar Salad, pretty large portion, comes with chicken, fresh everything, even the Parmesan:) I had a large Vampiro (beet, orange, carrot juice) and a pumpkin latte. The vampiro was generous. The pumpkin latte had the perfect mix of bold, creamy goodness! The prices were pretty good considering quality and portions. I was offered a sample of chia, that was good! I could have done with just the vampiro and sample of chia, it was so satisfying. I was told a new Romo Cafe is opening up soon on 98th in Oakland :) 2 thumbs up! read more

I got to say that I love that they have cafe de Olla! I'm willing to drive just for it alone (I live half hour away.) It's run by some older Latina ladies that always super nice when I've gone. They sell food there, I haven't tried any of it yet but they sound and look delicious. They have pastries as well. They also sell natural juices which was pretty neat to see. They have some tables inside even though it's kinda tight but their whole backyard there's more tables where you can sit at. The spot is kind of hidden so just make sure you're paying attention to a spot that is painted green with their name on it. They have a parking lot and there's also street parking. Arteaga's is right next to it, just try not to park in their parking lot, just to be considerate. read more

The señora that run this place are very, very nice and the owner was a wonderful gentleman to have a conversation with. The food was so delicious. The menu is pretty good sized. They have some great breakfast offers. As well as luncheon dinner. It's decorated in a Mexican thing with pottery and pots and cups and it makes you feel like you've left the United States and gone to Mexico and in the back area had lots of cactus and different things to make you feel more like you're out of the country. the food was absolutely delicious and fresh and I love the flavors and you can build the layers of flavors of the sauces that you're offered. The Adopt a Pug event was a hit . read more

OMG These are the moments that I'm so glad I trust Yelp! This place is suuuuper cute, the chilaquiles were absolutely delicious and it was probably the best cafe de olla I've ever had! I came here after the gym and a friend recommended we stop here. When you walk it, it's super unassuming. You order at the counter and the seating is in the back in the patio. It's super cute and the people are so nice. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

A Romo's Cafe is such a hidden gem you could easily pass it up if you're not paying attention. The decor feels so homey and welcoming, and the sweetest ladies were working when we went in. (Did I mention it's woman owned )They were patient, kind, and gave us great recommendations. We sat out back, which has plenty of seating and lots to look at while waiting for your order. The vibe really makes you feel like you've escaped somewhere far away. We ordered an iced caramel latte and a mocha both were good, though I personally prefer my coffee a little stronger. For food, we tried the avocado toast, the egg sandwich on a croissant, and two pastries. One was a Brazilian cheese ball and the other was sweet (can't remember the name). I wasn't a fan of either pastry, but my friend loved them. The food overall was decent but nothing that blew me away flavor wise, but the presentation was beautiful and good presentation alway gets points from me. What really stood out was the atmosphere. We ended up staying over an hour just chatting because the place felt so cozy and welcoming. Now that I've found it, A Romo's Cafe is definitely going on my regular rotation read more

World's best coffee!!! My wife took me here this morning and I feel like I haven't had a good cup of coffee in ages !!! It was my lucky day I guess. Everything here is absolutely perfect!! From the decor, to the vibe, right down to the customer service. Mind you I've had coffee in Cost Rica, Italy, and New York!!! The coffee flavor is out of this world and it's HOT which has been pretty hard to find lately. I highly recommend and I definitely can't wait to come back. The clay cups are a nice touch as well.

Everything is fresh and you can eat outside on cute patio. Lovely ladies running the place. Parking is tough.

I keep coming back--because I absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The drinks never disappoint--consistently amazing every single time. This is hands down one of my favorite cafes to visit. The service is phenomenal. Every member of the staff, including the owner, is warm, welcoming, and friendly. I'm always greeted with smiles, which truly makes the experience even better. It's one of the biggest reasons I return again and again. The ambiance is lovely, with charming Mexican touches that give the space a unique and cozy vibe. The back patio is a hidden gem, with great seating, beautiful plants, and eye-catching art. Every visit here is a pleasure. Parking can be a bit tricky on busy days, but it's absolutely worth the effort. Thank you, A Romos Cafe, for your excellent food, ambiance, and top-notch service you've got a customer for life! read more

Love this place - the grandma/auntie ambience, the tasty food, the cute patio. Been back a few times though not near our house. Will go back again ! read more

Friendly and fast service. They were pretty busy when we went for brunch on a weekday. There are food items written on a blackboard as well as a different menu that's printed and available where you order. This caused a delay in ordering because people didn't know about the other menus. My husband had the The Mix sandwich and I had the tuna melt. Both came out HOT and delicious! We didn't like the salmon spinach salad. While it was a huge serving, all it was was a pile of spinach with torn smoked salmon pieces like the one you buy from Costco. The added strawberries didn't make it taste any better. We sat in their pack patio. Be careful with their chairs. Some weren't very sturdy. read more

This is a bustling business with many people walking in and out of the store for coffee and/or on their break. I walked in on a rainy day and there was limited indoor seating with two small tables inside but plenty of outdoor seating. I ordered a crepe, cheese ball, and a side of eggs. This came out to about $25 after tip. The strawberry banana crepe was good but very sweet, though I did say yes when they asked if I wanted Nutella. The eggs were cooked over medium as I requested and it was nice they did the side order on the fly, charging $3 for one egg. My least favorite part about the meal was the cheese ball. Although it was warm on the outside, the inside was a little tough and cold. It also was not cheap at about $6 for the small cheese ball and I thought maybe they should have some more price transparency by putting the prices on the case where the pastries are (or at least somewhere). Overall, my experience here was good but I would probably forego the cheese ball. The staff here was very kind and keep the place clean, but please note that the staff mostly spoke to me in Spanish. read more

Fantastic food, drinks, and decor! For a huge portion of fresh salad that is made to order, I recommend A Romo's Cafe. The Chef's Salad comes with a green dressing that was unlike any other dressing I have tried before, savory and flavorful. The serving portion is huge and could easy serve 2 people, although you might not want to share. The lemonade was refreshing and not your typical lemonade! I didn't ask but it tasted like a little grapefruit and sparkling water was added, which made it 10 times better. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building specifically for A Romo's customers. The patio seating is beautifully decorated with the same Mexican folk art. They have community style seating available and more intimate smaller tables. read more

I've had a good Egg Sandwich here and mocha here. It's a cool spot with a nice little back patio you can enjoy your meal/drink at. Very small interior. Only downside: horrific availability of parking -- there's basically nothing in front street-wise (very busy street too), their adjoining lot is super small, or you can gamble and park in the grocery store next door. But if you want a good cup of Joe and a tasty sandwich -- bite the bullet and stop by. read more

I've been here before a few times and it's a place I'd typically recommend. I know it recently started getting a lot of traction on social media, and that could be good and bad. Today we came in as a family of 6. We waited from 11:11am to 12:30 to get our food. During the wait, we noticed multiple tables who got there after us, dining and leaving before us. My mom kindly asked for an update on our order and she was told there were just 1 more table's ticket in front of ours. Even after that, we waited an additional 25 minutes until my dad went inside and got the attention of the owner. There was no apology, no comp, no offer of something to hold us over while we continued to patiently wait. Owner seemed annoyed today but it could be due to how busy it was. When the food started coming out, we got everything except my dad's dish.Server told him at least 6 times it was coming soon, that turned out to be over 25 minutes too while the rest of us waited so we could eat together. At the end I asked for To go boxes and they never came, I had to get up and remind a server that we had asked for to go boxes over 15 minutes ago. Again, the owner over heard and told her what boxes to give us, but no apology. The party we were sharing a table with also had issues with the wait times for their food, and on our way out the table next to us was asking to cancel their order because they had also waited over an hour. Super disappointed in the lack of customer service and accountability today. Definitely will no longer recommend this establishment anymore. read more

Overpriced and customer service was mid. Cashier seemed more focused on serving the men behind us.

A Romo's Cafe is a nice place to sit down and catch up with friends! It is on the smaller side, but we were the first customers there so seating was not a problem. I got the egg sandwich with tomato and a latte to go with it. The sandwich was delicious! The egg was smooth and fluffy and the tomato was a nice combo with it. The latte milk was oversteamed though, but I didn't mind that too much lol read more

I absolutely love this place. First time here and it reminded me of mi tias casa en Mexico.

To be honest, from the outside (views from the street) it doesn't look like much. But I stopped for brunch with my wife and daughter, and we were wonderfully surprised when we went in. I'm first generation Mexican, so it was super refreshing to see so much art and mugs, glasses, etc on sale with a traditional Mexican art style. The staff were super nice when they saw us walk in and briefed us on the menu, seeing that we had a toddler. Well, the wife and I both got the chilequiles, and my daughter got a strawberry crepe, complete with nutella and whipped cream. We also got her a Oaxacan hot chocolate, which my daughter loved! Especially since it was served in a Mexican clay mug. We learned there was outdoor seating, which we found to be charming, with a different chair at every table, and charms hanging up on the rafters, and loteria boards on the tables! We gushed how much we loved this. Then we got our food from the cook who was hustlin, and man, we forgot to take a photo. SUPER big portions, and exactly the kind of texture I expect from chilequiles. Literally tortillas that were chopped up and crisped, not the easy way out and using tortilla chips. I could go on, but we're definitely going back. Their menu was so vast, and I'm jonesing to buy one of the mugs they had on sale. IF anything, the part of Hayward it's in is a teeny bit sus, but man, this place sure wasn't here when I was growning uo in Hayward. Hopefully this place stays a long time. The city needs spots like this. read more

Adorable, full-service Mexican cafe. Healthy breakfast options including tasty chia pudding, fresh- pressed juice (vampiro) and of course, the lovely cafe de holla.

The drinks and desserts are delicious. Tried vanilla concha's and a giant snickerdoodle cookie. I had the best Ice Chai Latte I've ever had. My husband had a latte as well. I love the style of pottery type drink and plates used I appreciate the attention to details.I love the attention and care of customer service. Menu and pastry case are easy to see. The food and drinks arrived quickly. We sat in the outdoor patio area. Lots of shade. Decent size eating area. Pretty decor inside and out. I appreciated it was quiet no loud background music. Easy to have a relaxing atmosphere and conversation. I definitely recommend there are eat in and to go options. Parking is shared with a haircut lot. I will definitely be there again. read more

What a great addition to our city! This is the cutest little spot to grab a coffee, juices, light bites and even a full meal. Ive been here several times now and each time I try something new, I'm never disappointed. The employees, and the owner herself are all so super friendly. They have a tiny corner with retail items like authentic Mexican clay coffee mugs and more. But the best part is one you'd never imagine. THE BACK PATIO is a total little oasis. Tables under shade, tons of natural plants and pots everywhere fill the back with a wonderful ambiance. If you haven't stopped by, give them a try! You wont be disappointed.. more over.. you'll be back! read more

Tried A Romo's for the first time and got the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich -- so good. Spicy, smoky, and perfectly crispy without being greasy. Totally hit the spot. They also had a complimentary chia bowl tasting, which was a nice surprise and actually delicious. And the lemonade? Super refreshing -- not too sweet, just right. 10/10 would go back. Chill vibes, solid food, and those little extras make it feel like they actually care read more

A disappointing first and last visit! I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately, my experience was tainted by an unnecessarily harsh interaction with the owner. I arrived first and was quickly greeted and asked if I needed a menu, which I appreciated. I ordered a coffee and a cookie while waiting for my client to arrive. When I asked to hold off to order for my guest, I was told the system wouldn't allow that, so I completed the transaction. All fine. Once my client arrived (who didn't want anything), we sat down at a nearly empty cafe to do some work using the Wi-Fi. Less than 15 minutes later, we were approached abruptly and told that bringing outside drinks wasn't allowed, that my guest hadn't purchased anything, and that the owner had bills to pay. There was no warmth or professionalism just a lecture in front of other customers. I calmly explained that I had made a purchase and was using the Wi-Fi as intended, and also that we were unaware of the no-outside-drinks policy (my client had a tejava). Instead of a courteous reminder, we were met with defensiveness and a dismissive attitude. I'm all for small businesses protecting their space and covering their costs but hospitality matters. A simple, respectful conversation would've gone a long way. Sadly, this left a terrible impression, and I won't be returning. read more
