I ordered the salted cream coffee with coffee jelly to try. The coffee taste is very strong and deep but also smooth and fragrant.

Was in downtown on a Saturday to decided to stop by to try their matcha since I don't drink coffee…read more The interior was quite spacious and seats were available both inside and outside. I really liked the minimalist look. There were a few customers waiting in line around noon. A kiosk was available, but I decided to order from the staff instead. Initially I wanted the strawberry matcha latte but ended up ordering the matchahaya instead. It's basically an ice-blended matcha mix with Tram's signature cream. The drink was surprisingly not too sweet and the matcha didn't taste watered down even though it was mixed with ice. The ice could have been blended a bit longer to make it smoother. Overall, a great matcha/coffee spot to try if you're in downtown. I would like to try other items on their menu next time I stop by.

First time stopping by since it changed over from Cafe4 to Neighborhood Coffee. The ambience and…read morespace is still the same, but they have an updated menu with more options it seems. I like that they have a rotating seasonal menu as well. This time I tried the Iced Ube Latte from the summer menu. I didn't really have high hopes since ube seems to be everywhere lately and not always executed well, but I thought this drink was actually pretty tasty and strong. I always feel like I can get work done and focus here because of how open and spacious it is. Love the view and natural light that radiates inside as well. So many tables and seating options inside and out. Bathrooms are always clean with many stalls available. Service is friendly. Great place to get caffeinated and study or catch up with friends.

Stopped by to grab a latte and a pastry on a Tuesday morning. I ordered a salted maple latte and an…read morealmond croissant. 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.

We ordered our drinks and sandwiches to-go. We ordered the lemongrass tofu and chicken banh mi. The…read morebread was fresh and good. Although the tofu was a little dry and lacked some flavor (had to use sriracha), the chicken banh mi was flavorful and well done, though there was quite a bit of chicken. The fruity matcha with boba was also pretty good as was the Vietnamese coffee, though the coffee was on the strong side. They also sell sesame balls, French bread, and other baked goods as well. We recommend ordering ahead since there is a good amount of people coming in each morning. They take phone and online orders. This is a nice sandwich spot and they have 3 round tables with 4 seats and 4 rectangle tables with 4 seats or so. There is plenty of seating to go around.

Located on a corner in a non descript strip mall, La Ca Bakery & Cafe shares a storefront with…read moreMochinut donuts. The inside interior design is something more akin to a 7/11 grocery store, with a wide countertop displaying colorful and tasty looking Mochinut donuts with the back area for food options. The space is peppered with some two or three person tables as well, with a small display shelf helping to delineate where the line to the cashier starts. Regarding the viet coffee, this one was particularly strong, with a definite higher proportion of coffee to condensed milk that doesn't offend but also risks being a bit TOO strong (wild to say that when all viet coffee at its core is strong). Overall, it's conveniently located, but I think I might prefer to go further south for something with a more balanced taste profile.

It sounds like there's a lot going on but it balances out amazingly and is genuinely so delicious. Ive also tried their strawberry matcha and strawberry hojicha and both are solid. The matcha/hojicha flavor is always strong and consistent. I also love their strawberry puree on the bottom, it's the perfect sweetness & consistency! Service here is really fast, even if the lines are long they'll have your drink out quickly! The interior is also really aesthetic, clean, comfortable, & dog friendly.

I ordered the Pandan Matcha (oat milk, 25% sweet) with Egg Cream. I was pleasantly surprised! The…read morepandan was infused into the milk. However, once mixed, the matcha flavor overpowered the pandan, where it tasted more like a matcha latte. Egg cream was on point though! Just the right amount of sweet. It added a rich creaminess to the drink. 50% sweet was the default, so I did 25% sweet instead, and it was perfect! They definitely do not skimp on the matcha here. There is also a light dusting of matcha over the egg cream. I would like to note that this matcha has an very prominent earthiness to it, which may be why it overpowered the flavor of the pandan. I would recommend trying this out though. Casual coffee shop. Service was super quick. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely stop by again.

I got a double espresso…read more They roast their own beans, this one seemed like a medium roast. Had good crema and a creamy texture. I got more volume than I expected (maybe two double shots) and the shot was a bit bitter-- but more dark chocolate than burnt. 2.5 / 5.   I'd come again if I was at the library and try buying the beans for home as well.

Strong coffee! Just the way I like it…read more Order a cappucino with an extra shot and you're all set for the day, The best part is that it is located inside/ adjacent to the Hayward Public Library so you can get your cup of coffee *make sure there's a lid on it so you can take it inside with you* and head to where you have to go in the library and enjoy it there while you get work/ studying done.

This was initially a second choice option, that quickly became a place I'd return to. Everything…read moresounded delicious and what we ordered (scallion pancake chicken wrap, garlic Parmesan tater tots, popcorn chicken) was PERFECTION. The scallion pancake was expertly crisp on the outside, yet still pliable and forgiving. the popcorn chicken was tasty enough to stand alone without a dipping sauce (we're on a Thai sweet chili kick.) I believe they are seasoned with 5 spice. It was pretty empty when we came around 12:30, and when we left around 1:15, it was packed with a line out of the door. I look forward to visiting again, S&S!

After eating dinner, I decided to drive my way to Hayward to go to Sip & Savor since it's close to…read morewhere I ate at. This is quite unusual because this boba shop serves pastas since other boba places serve rice meals. Don't know but I guess that this is supposed to be a fusion restaurant? Inside is very quiet though, but I saw some people come in here. I also really like how they decorated part of the wall with "Sip & Savor" sign. If they covered the whole wall and even the ceiling, it would have looked like we're in a jungle. I didn't get pasta, but my mom and I wanted to try their boba. It's really good though. The Sip & Savor is slightly more expensive and it's quite flavorful even without adding boba. Not too sweet and it's just right. Definitely looking forward to trying one of their pastas if I were to come back!

They made my day better after interacting with her. I ordered a drink for my wife and she decided i didn't order it correctly so I asked if they can change the order. I was expecting them to do it if I asked but she was so kind. She offered me to keep the first drink and remade a new one for me with a huge smile. Excellent customer experience save. The drinks are also excellent and I really liked the taro drink with fresh taro. It'll be nice with even a little more taro or taro paste. Wish we could choose sugar level but nothing seems overly sweet here. Only complaint is that the drink lids ripe every time you insert a straw. They need nicer plastic lids. Mines ripped and I ask her to re-lid it and it ripped the second time. The other two drinks also ripped when I got home. Easy to spill once ripped.
