    Outside, currently there's an umbrella kind of hiding their name so just look out for that.
    Isabel L.

    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.

    This place is definitely my new favorite hole in the wall! The service was amazing and super friendly, especially to my little pup that I brought with me. The outdoor seating area is super cute and picture worthy. With food, I have no complaints. The portions are huge, everything tasted amazing, and I 100% plan on coming back and bringing my whole family!

    The staff was very welcoming, their menu options are very diverse. The outdoor seating space is lovely I felt at home. The food was really good the Vietnamese coffee was good in my opinion because it wasn't too strong where I'll get jittery.

    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 .

    Chilaquiles
    Kourtney A.

    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!

    Awesome spot for conchas from Concha Dreams, Cafe Olli, breakfast,lunch and small selection of Mexican wares. Everyone was friendly with a neighborhood gem feel with a Cute outside spot to enjoy and chill. We came for the mini conchas but will return to try more. Parking is challenging but worth it.

    Great coffee. Excellent customer service. Its like walking in to a family members home. They greet you warmly. So many options will have to return soon to try.

    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. A+ for A Romos Cafe

    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!

    HUGE salmon salad with fresh strawberries. There is a lot of spinach under there.
    Mar H.

    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.

    Side of egg - over medium
    Molly L.

    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.

    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.

They also had a pastrami one that I wanted to try but they were sold out. Everything was delicious and buttery, as a croissant should be. Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating. I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee.

    Just an excellent place to be!…read more A friend had heard rave reviews about their authentic Argentinian empanadas and we were so happy to come and try it out on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was busy (the lot is shared with Trader Joe's) but we managed to find a spot and head into the busy but not packed cafe. There is a large assortment of empanadas, from meat options like chorizo and chicken, to vegetarian like corn and onion, to sweet options too like apples. The menu also boasts lots of great drinks including mate tea! Lucky us, the empanadas we ordered weren't in stock so we had to wait ~10 for freshly baked ones. They came out buttery and piping hot, even with little hand-stamped letters on them so you know what you're eating, and it was so delicious. Most are about $5.50 each. Add oregano chimichurri for a bit extra if you want or pair with a tea, but these empanadas really hit the snacky spot. Lots of wooden tables with fresh flowers make Pampas a great space to chat with friends or to sit and do some work. The most standout feature was the friendly and efficient staff who seem to build connections with everybody who walks in the door. Worth a drive to Castro Valley! Especially if you bring cash for a 10% discount off a dozen :)

The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses!
