I pre ordered a very large cake three weeks in advance for an event for veterans. They forgot to…read moremake my cake... they refunded the cost of the cake, but not the $40 tip. I had to scramble and buy smaller pre-made cakes at a grocery store so there would be cake with the meal for our vets. I was so embarrassed. I'm pretty upset that they got paid $40 for nothing, because they didn't refund the tip. Rewarded for doing a poor job? That's shameful.

The cake was moist and flavorful with lots of blueberries. He loved his turnover. We each got a "ginger pig" for later. The pig wasn't as gingery as I have had in the past, but still had great texture and flavor. There is a Starbucks and a Dutch Brothers in the parking lot to complete your breakfast ensemble.

This could have been dealt with in a more professional manner.

Hayward is nicely remodeled and decorated. There are bar seats, booth seats, table seat and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is surrounded by lush green plants. There is a tasting menu for $98, but the items are undisclosed, left to the chef to chose so I didn't go with this and ordered a la carte. The bread is served warm, soft, oiled, so good. So good that I ordered a 2nd piece. Probably best bread I've had. The food is good. I wish they had more red meat options though. The cod is probably the best entree item from a consensus. They also have the cutest match boxes. Portions are on the small end. Street parking.

Service was outstanding- warm friendly greeting, they offered to take our coats, we were seated right away, great suggestions for drinks, and food was delivered in a cadence that didn't feel rushed, but didn't feel like you were waiting long either. We enjoyed some dishes more than others, but overall the food was really delicious. The stand-outs were some of the dishes we didn't catch the names, but the cod was well liked and so was the steak. Parking was a little hard due to the Christmas lights at the park across the street. This was almost an hour drive for us and it was worth it. We would recommend and look forward to going back to Hayward.

The variety of tea choices was almost overwhelming and clearly the owners had a tea connoisseur's interests in mind when creating the shop. I found a great tea blend that I've turned into an iced tea - perfect for summer sipping! Yes, the shop had gift options that support both the lower and higher end budgets (important to me!). The only thing I wish was different is that I'd found the shop earlier in the day so I could spend more time there.

Service was quick and to the point, bathrooms clean, and indoor ambiance homey and chill, good enough for a quick bite but nothing to linger in. Also? No WiFi. Bummer for a coffee shop.
