Entré al lugar porque tenía hambre tempranito y quería desayunar algo. Desde afuera pude observar…read moreque hacían sándwiches & Bagel!! El lugar es pequeño, luce muy cafetero. Me tomaron la orden y créanme ha sido el Bagel más caro de la vida!!! Casi $17 USD y lo pedí con jamón, tocino, huevo y queso... confirmen lo que ordenen. Yo honestamente dije, vamos a darle la oportunidad... El servicio fue rápido, un bagel bien realizado pero no volvería a pagar tanto por un bagel créanme... Y ni me pude comprar algo de tomar porque sino llegaría a los $20 USD o quizás más. Pedí un vaso con agua fría y la señorita del café me dio agua natural. El ambiente relajado, siento que todo en el lugar está muy pegado (estrecho). No tienen estacionamiento. El lugar se encuentra sobre una avenida muy transitada. Yo entré porque estaba de paso, iba al city hall de la ciudad. Regresar? No se, no es mi zona. Pero si les quiero decir que es caro, a menos de que pidas Bagel sencillo... no me fijé en todo su menú.

I always come here to study and I'll continue to come back here!…read more Whenever I come here I always get the Melted Brie on a Toasted Bagel with an Iced Matcha Latte. The brie is always so melty, warm and rich with the crunchy bagel. The iced matcha is so large, it will be by your side until you're finished with whatever you're working on. The service is also great, it's a small team of the same people and I always enjoy seeing them as they're always kind. The environment is one of my favorites about this place, there's outdoor seating in the back but my personal favorite is inside. They have a couch area as well if you enjoy that comfy feeling. If you're there to study though, do keep in mind that sometimes there is live music so either come early or know what days they're there. If you need to get work done, relax or catch up with a friend I suggest this place!

Amazing date night spot and open surprisingly late. :) They have a wide array of wines, beers, and signature cocktails. I got their hot apple cider and it was good! It wasn't strong [:(] but it was definitely delicious [:3]. The chairs built into the wall were a little uncomfy but they looked so chic. The bar projected an anime on the wall on the night that we went and it made for a great vibe. Service was a little slow (it seemed like it was only one person servicing the whole place) but they were friendly and attentive! Would 100% recommend checking the Social Study out if you're in the area!

I first heard if this spot from a co-worker that insisted we try this place out. I purposely…read moreavoided looking up reviews on the place because I wanted to form an honest and unbiased opinion. I really can't put into words what a vibe this place is. From the exposed brick walls to the reclaimed wood tables, floors etc. the whole place felt "lived in" and upbeat. The drinks and service were top tier, and the curated small bites menu of snacks were a perfect accompaniment to the evening. If you are in the area, or want to pregame before a night out in the Fillmore or Japantown, this is a good place to kick the night into gear.

4.5/5 Such a sweet…read moreand special place to gather with friends and play games! I found this place online by searching Board Game cafes and totally didn't expect what we found when we walked in the store in the middle of downtown Hayward. There are so many board games to play, including unique ones like Skyteam. There's also many PCs and Switches available, and lots of tables. The ambiance is pretty kitschy. I think the place used to be a restaurant so there are lots of restaurant tables and chairs which aren't the most stylish or comfy necessarily, and there are lots of little knick knacks like old lamps or drapes. The lighting varies. But there is a sweet elderly couple who were running the place when we arrived, and it evokes a sense of comfy nostalgia to think maybe this is how they like the place or have kept it through many years, even though the times outside have changed. Everything is neat and clean, even if not to modern style. Things like Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer are also provided throughout. There is a bathroom that's likewise well kept at the back of the establishment, but just beware there are a couple spooky motion sensor light hallways to walk down to get there. I heard the food is good but we didn't try it this time. Little snacks and cup ramen, etc are also available for purchase :) $5 per person to stay as long as you like and play whatever you want is a great deal, and it warms my heart to have a space like this exist. Happy to support this sweet family business

The quality of the coffee and matcha really stands out. Service was friendly and professional. The drinks did take a little longer than expected, but that clearly comes with the care they put into each cup -- these are true craft coffees, complete with beautiful latte art. The prices are on the higher side, but you can tell you're paying for quality and attention to detail. The ambiance is fine, though for me it feels more like a grab-and-go coffee spot than somewhere I'd settle in for a while.

I had been to the church before, but I didn't remember the massive coffee hangout there! It's so spacious and offers plenty of seating. How long has this place been here? I wish it were closer to where I live in San Jose! I could easily imagine sitting in one of the comfortable nooks, studying or grading papers. It's also a fantastic spot to meet up or chat with a group of friends. It was definitely a nice place for a date! When we walked in, there were hardly any available seats, but the line at the counter wasn't long. We found a quiet corner to sit and enjoyed our breakfast. I ordered a hot latte with maple syrup in the name, though I can't recall the exact name. It paired nicely with my pastry. The almond croissant I ordered was delectable, with just the right amount of sweetness and flakiness. My partner enjoyed his cappuccino and savory bacon croissant. We walked up two steps to the restroom and were surprised to find more seats and tables. I wish I had noticed that area when I was looking for a place to sit. Oh well, it was comfortable where we were. The girls should have more playdates with their cousins so we can come here more often. Is it really called a "playdate" when the kids are 12 and 15, and their cousins are between 21 and 30?

The salted maple latte was just ok... sadly it looked better than it tasted. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso as it left a very sour after taste, even with the sweet maple syrup it wasn't very pleasant. Good espresso should be balanced and coffee forward, and I didn't get that. Almond croissant was great, but I was a bit disappointed in their coffee. Ambience is great for studying or getting some work done.
