    I got a pulled pork sando on sourdough. The picture on the menu showed on a regular bun but this on sourdough was so good!!! wish it came with some fries for the price but the sandwich was super good. Staff was friendly, and the outside seating is nice in the right weather. I don't like their coffee but that's not what i'm reviewing today.

    "No Coffee Shop Parking" signs in the parking lot behind the cafe, at the parking spots closest to the cafe
    Melissa Y.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute coffee shop to be productive at! I went during the afternoon and there were a lot of people there working/studying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The AC was running so it was a little refuge from the heat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a large outdoor patio that is partly covered, and plants provided shade to some of the tables that weren't covered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the honey lavender latte iced and it exceeded my expectations. Both the lavender and honey were prominent, it was a good balance of flavors. I had taken a few sips after receiving the drink and then didn't drink it again until after all the ice had melted, and it didn't even taste super watered down. A lot of reviews mention parking in Apna Mandi's parking lot behind the cafe. However, the spots in that lot closest to the coffee shop have bright red signs saying "No Coffee Shop Parking" and that violators will be towed. I ended up following one of the reviews and parked in the Safeway plaza across the street. It would be nice if Hops & Beans clarified whether or not customers actually allowed to park in the lot behind the cafe, or any alternatives.

    Went for breakfast here with some friends. I have very good things to say about it. The food was delicious and pretty prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice informal meeting place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a crepe. It had so much chicken and vegetables. I loved it. It came with a salad which made it lunch for me.

    An excellent place for breakfast or brunch. A tad pricey but the food is on point. The crepes are great. They have savory and sweet versions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Expect crowds on a Sunday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cappuccino hit the spot to wash down all the food.

    Glad this yelp suggestion was legit!! LORD!! The avocado toast! Fresh, good size, egg on top! Price was right! DELICIOSO!! And my lavender honey soy latte on a holiday- after a 3 hrs drive! AMAZING! I'm super happy I stopped by! The staff... I could kindly suggest up the costumer service, smile, I could hardly hear her when I asked about the bathroom! [[HIGHLIGHT]]bathroom was extremely dirty and it was only 8:10am![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I get it early morning! LOVE IT! I'll definitely come back!

    I really wanted to like this place since I've been trying to find a place to study that's close to Hayward. Parking is very confusing. The parking lot in the back is technically for the grocery store only so keep that in mind just in case they start towing vehicles. This location has a patio that I wish I should've just sat in instead of sitting inside. I ordered the artichoke & cucumber toast with salmon, the lavander latter and the jamaica tea. I did enjoy the toast although the salmon was a bit to fishy for me and the fishyness lingered in my mouth the whole night. The Lavander latte was actually really good. Perfect sweetness and perfect amount of lavander and not over powering. I didn't expdect the Jamaica tea to be bubbly but it was a good drink. I did request for it to not be to sweet so they were able to adjust that. So I remove one star because of the cleanliness. I was seating by the window and just saw how dirty the base of the window is. I don't think they have wiped down their windows or the surrounding areas since there's just crumbs everywhere. I'm not sure when their last general cleaning or deep cleaning was but they are definitely due for one. Another reason why I removed another star is safety. Given that this location is in their downtown area, the amount of unhoused people that goes in and out of this cafe to sit and get water was high. I probably saw three just in the one hour in a half I was there. I just felt so uneasy, and could not focus on studying because I was more busy making sure that my surroundings were safe so I eventually left since I couldn't focus. This place definitely gets pretty busy so if you're going to come especially with a large group be prepared to might not have a table. They do have a lot of seating availability but it fills up fast.

    A hidden gem in the heart of Fremont with cool ambience and even better flavors. First thing you notice is the vibe of this cafe. This is one the top reasons I'm going to come back to this cafe again and again. They have many interesting coffee options. I have tried several loved them all. My husband prefers stronger coffee and this cafe has served him well. I have tried their chicken crepe. This is very flavorful and huge quality. I had dressing on the side. This dressing is game changer. We tried meditarían toast, that was also very flavorful with some unique take on toast. My server was very attentive, too. Overall, definitely going to visit this cafe !!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cozy and welcoming cafe that is a gem of Fremont![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is always helpful and friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe of course is so warm, it's a great place to get some work done or hang out (especially with your dog on the patio!)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed my iced matcha, it was clearly high quality and they didn't skimp on the amount of powder. It's a fantastic, straight to the point, no frills matcha. Would love to come here again with my dog and sit outside on a nice day and try their beer or hard kombucha as well!

    Hot Mocha, Strawberry Nutella Crepe, Iced Hazelnut Latte
    Nicholas T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance seemed dull and lazy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person at the counter didn't seem excited about her task to greet people coming in or to talk about items on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Furthermore, we asked if we could sit outside in the patio area after ordering and the reply was "yes" and we were given a number on a stand assumingely to place on the table for the food and drinks to be brought out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After a decent amount of waiting time, we went in to check on the order and apparently they couldn't find us so they left our order at the counter; not sure how long it has been sitting there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We expected to experience a friendly coffee and treat corner shop, but it was far from it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The items ordered weren't impressive. Possibly a fitting establishment if you ordered and took items to go.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barista was very nice. This place must be popular because we had to wait a few minutes for a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was cozy and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish my hot drink had actually been hot. It was like warm. But my friend enjoyed her drink. I recommend this coffee shop!

    Inside

    A great go to for me whenever I need to meet someone during weekdays for coffee. The weekends get a bit crowded with grocery shoppers and parking can be hard then. There is a variety of coffee, tea and food options. There are lots of inside seating and outside seating. The service is quick and it is quiet.

    Avocado toast
    Jimmy R.

    Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Was not expecting this good a breakfast for a coffee shop but it was every bit as good as a regular sit down place. The breakfast crepe included a honey mustard drizzle that was surprisingly good and complimented the breakfast! Service was good (stand up to order) and ambiance is very coffee shop with a touch of hipster to it. Very good, worth coming back just for breakfast!

    Island Latte was the better flavor 8.5/10
    Erica M.

    I was here during Covid and this place has changed for the better. The inside gives calming, cozy vibes. Inside decor consists of green, gold and floral patterns. The lady that took our order was nice and our drinks were made pretty quickly. Ordered 3 drinks and my ratings are as follows: *Island Latte (Coconut, Macadamia, Espresso) 8.5/10 * Spiced Cinnamon Latte (Cinnamon, Vanilla, White Chocolate , Espresso) 8/10 *Gingerbread iced Espresso 7/10 Overall solid 4 stars. The flavors are good, only thing I would critique is that the drinks need to be more espresso forward. Next time I'll add an additional shot to give my drink more of a boost.

    I don't get to Total Wine and More nearly as often as I probably should …read more. most of my stuff usually comes from Costco during regular grocery runs. But I've always known TWM has way better selection. Walking in, honestly, the sheer variety kind of overwhelmed me at first. That said, the aisles were laid out really well, so once I got my bearings it was easy to browse around by type. That's about when Justin, the floor/wine manager, came over and asked if I needed a hand. He ended up walking me through a bunch of different spirits, taking the time to actually explain things rather than just pointing at bottles. What I appreciated most was that he wasn't pushy at all - no upselling, just genuinely helpful recommendations. That's honestly what got me to trust his suggestions, and I walked out with more than I planned on buying. Zero regrets, though.

    I've been to this location a few times in the last few years. This time, the service was amazing. I…read morewas looking at some seltzers and a staff member came and asked if I needed anything. I was looking for Seagram singles of the Jamaican Me Happy. They unfortunately only had a case. In another aisle, I was looking in the tequila section when another staff member approached me. He gave me a quick lesson on the difference between blanco, reposado, cristalino reposado, and anejo. This location always has a wide selection ranging from the type of spirit to the price point. There's something for everyone (even soda!)
