    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 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    new fave spot in hayward, couple blocks from where i lived for a large portion of my childhood. yes yes i know i look white but my mom's side is all lil mexican ladies who love to cook and feed people and i just love coming here and feeling cozy and well fed. everything i've tried has been nothing short of amazing. all the people who work here are so sweet and friendly!

    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.

If you want to pay with cash, you have to wait a very long time. Today, my friend and I were excited to go to T's and order something they had posted on Instagram. I wanted to pay with cash, so I waited patiently because there were a lot of people waiting. While I was waiting, I kindly asked one of the employees if I could pay with cash. She told me, "No, there is a machine right there." I replied, "But I want to pay with cash." She looked at me, walked away, and proceeded to help other customers who were also paying with cash and picking up orders. I then asked another employee, and she helped me right away, even though she was multitasking. I finished placing my order on the tablet, but neither employee helped me complete the checkout process. I waited again, and although they saw my friend and me standing there, no one offered assistance. I asked one of the employees for the name of the older blonde haired employee, and she told me it was Angie. T's, please consider having a dedicated cashier at the front instead of having employees in the back juggle several different jobs. The service used to be so good. There was usually a manager or another employee helping customers at the front. Now, it seems like everyone is stretched too thin. What is going on? T's was never like this. The food is great, but the customer service needs serious improvement.

    Order: 1 BBQ Chicken Bánh Mì…read more1 Mango Cane Nước Mia Total: $16.09 The Bánh Mì was PHENOMENAL! The bread was so soft yet crunchy and flaky--I could tell it was extremely fresh. The BBQ chicken was very tender with no fat and cooked with delicious spices. Just incredible. The veggies were also very fresh and crunchy. With every bite it just kept getting better. It's a pretty big-sized Bánh Mì--you can easily eat half and save the other half for later. The mango cane drink was delicious and very refreshing. I enjoyed every sip of it. Food: 10/10. The service was excellent! The young ladies working there were very welcoming and sweet. One even grabbed me a stool to sit on while I waited for my order, which was very thoughtful. The wait was not long 5-10 minutes. Not many customer around 12pm on Friday. Customer service: 10/10. The ambiance is cute. It's located in the heart of downtown Hayward near City Hall. The establishment is tiny, but they do have stools where you can sit and enjoy your Bánh Mì it's almost like being in Vietnam. There's no outside seating. Parking can definitely be challenging. You can park in the Lucky's supermarket lot, across the street in the parking structure, or if you're lucky, find street parking right in front of the establishment. This might be my favorite Bánh Mì spot. I will definitely be coming back. I just hope one day their hours and days expand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Did not get the gen Z stare LOL. - Impressively, the acai bowl was pretty delicious. Not too icy or crunchy, with generous portions of nutella and peanut butter. I actually felt like it was better tasting than vitality bowl in CV - lots of parking in this Bayfair plaza Cons: - not a ton of sitting space inside, so better as a grab and go option - I might be biased but $9 for a smoothie seems really expensive - I think my acai bowl was a better value even though it's a little more expensive. But the acai bowl is small, and the nutella and peanut butter is not mixed or blended in, it's kind of just globbed as a heap on top LOL Otherwise - not a bad use of a gift card (if you get one of those choice cards that has Panera/jamba/cheesecake factory on it - I Think this is actually the best bang for your buck) Would not mind coming back

Making it a bit cramp when you're trying to stand in line, look at what's available, and order at the same time. Parking here is hard to get to as well, the lot is super small and fits only one car at a time. If you happen to land a spot here your best bet is to reverse all the way out because a three point turn will turn into a multipoint turn quickly. My suggestion is to park in the lot in the plaza next door and walk over. As for the baked goods the Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Croissant is phenomenal and the Strawberry Moon is a classic. The flavor profiles here lean Asian with many call backs to flavors such as ube and passionfruit. They also seem to change their menu often too so keep an eye out on the newer items as you visit. In terms of aesthetics of the pastries you can see the love in the folds of each one. The strawberry moon croissant is a good example of this because the amount of ridges in the croissant shows how many times it was folded while making it. That alone is back breaking work and truly a labor of love for something that gets consumed in minutes. Last but not least the staff, we love a good mom and pop shop. The entire family is in on this, from the cashier, baristas, and pastry chef. If you're looking for a AAPI business to support, this is the one to go to. They're kind, diligent, and when a pastry sells out you can always count on them to make more. Disappointment does not run in this family!
