Came in here on a whim and met one of the owners, Nicky. He showed me amazing hospitality and the food + drinks I ordered were amazing on top of that!! The setting of the place definitely suits the name as well. I 110% recommend the Neighborhood Grandma! read more

the pancakes caught might eye and the idea of going to a restuarant that feels like grandma's kitchen made me want to go and bring a book to read while I wait for my dessert. The dessert delivered to the table and yummy was my reaction. I highly recommend Neighborhood Grandma to anyone interested in a cozy dessert place for after church. read more

This place was such a cute, wholesome find! The interior is completely covered with vintage decor, making it feel like you're stepping into the loving home of your own grandmother. We ordered a Yonce and a Rick Ross for out drinks and a New York State of Mind cookie with extra chocolate. The Yonce was a perfect balance of sweet but still slightly bitter from the coffee. The Rick Ross reminded me more of horchata - couldn't really taste the coffee, but it was deliciously sweet regardless. I would recommend to get the cookie without extra chocolate - even my chocolate-obsessed husband said it was too much for him. The employees here are extremely friendly and sweet. As we were selecting our cookies, they gave us recommendations on how long we should heat it up and what else would go well with that cookie at home! I also loved being able to read the origin story of the shop! read more

Neighborhood Grandma feels like the kind of place that's meant to be a true local staple. The atmosphere is warm, casual, and welcoming -- more like dining in someone's cozy home than a typical restaurant. Service is easily the highlight. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful without feeling overbearing. Price-wise, it's very reasonable for the Bay Area. Portions are solid and the overall value makes it a great spot when you want a satisfying meal. Ambiance leans into that grandmas house vibe: comfortable, homey, and perfect for catching up with friends. Overall, Neighborhood Grandma does a great job delivering good service and a welcoming atmosphere. It's a dependable neighborhood spot that's easy to come back to. read more

The Neighborhood Grandma is such a hidden gem in Hayward! I learned about them from a Bay Area food reviewer. First off you're greeted with warmth as soon as you walk through the door. Everyone was so kind and sweet. I ordered the banana pudding, the muffin breakfast sandwich, and an iced caramel mocha latte. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The banana pudding is truly some of the best I've ever had. The breakfast sandwich hits the spot!! And the latte lawdddd tastes like a delicious milkshake. Definitely check them out and support this local small business!! - Mrs California Black United States 2026 read more

The company moved into a new office and I was dying for coffee since they haven't set up the break room. I found this gem and they served the same kind of coffee as a place I used to go a lot and that got me so hyped. I took my break and headed there to check it out and I'm soooo happy they are there. The coffee tasted just as great and I also ordered the cookie they had. They noted they also serve off menu items like Mexican street dogs?! I will have to got to "work" more as an excuse to come here. Highly recommend the place! read more

Order: 2 - 24 oz Iced Matcha Nanas Bananas 2 - Hella Toasts Total: $62.00 The Matcha Nanas Bananas is beyond amazing! I was worried it was going to be super sweet, but it wasn't at all. It had the perfect balance, and I enjoyed every sip. My friend loved it too. Extremely delicious -- I'll definitely be going back to try more drinks. The Hella Toast is pretty fire! It's served on an English muffin with your choice of meat, egg, and cheese. Simple, filling, and so good. The service was GREAT! Imelda was hella dope and provided amazing customer service from the moment we walked in until we left. She truly made the experience even better. She knows exactly how to treat customers -- very friendly, welcoming, and fun to talk to. This kind of service is why I love coming back to places. The ambiance is so cute! It gives cozy grandma's living room vibes. I love the details and aesthetics they put into this place. The interior decor is beautifully done. Even though this spot is tucked away, it's a MUST-visit. There are other food options in the plaza and plenty of parking. It's easy to find, even though there's no sign on the building. Overall, the food, customer service, and ambiance were outstanding. I will definitely be back -- I 100% recommend this place! read more

I was curious about this new cafe that had huge cookies that looked so good, as well as Benjamin Franklin's restroom walls. That itself already piqued my interest. Service: Very friendly and homey. There's an actual grandma there who welcomes you in and tries to get to know you. They're still getting into the groove with ordering, so be patient with them. Ambiance: the decor definitely reminds me of a stereotypical grandma with fruit wall patterns, a fireplace with old-timey chairs, and multiple quirky decor. The storefront doesn't have a sign yet, so it can be tricky to find. Nutty chip baby $8 (5/5): Chocolate chip walnut cookie topped with chocolate spread. This didn't even last 5 minutes after being warmed up. THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. It's huge, not too sweet, and the texture is gooey and a bit cakey. I don't often demolish cookies, but I can with this. YEE $8 (3.5/5): My friend got this less sweet and felt that the coffee flavor was not strong. Thoroughly enjoyed the cookie butter and drink overall, as I heard I'd definitely come back again for the cookies. I heard their banana pudding is good that it's sold out. Definitely a unique atmosphere and concept that I don't see often. Refreshing from the modern minimal type cafes. read more

Support your local businesses because this coffee shop is truly something special. The coffee is absolutely delicious, and the bay muffin was incredible! They also offer cookies, treats, and the banana pudding had my mouth watering. The staff were so kind and helpful--you can't help but feel like you've known them forever. I'll definitely be back to try more of their coffees. Such a cute concept and an overall great experience! read more

So we were looking for something new and came across this darling shop. Not so easy to find but super friendly service. I had the cinnamon latte called the Yee and my hubby had a regular latte called the Fa'sho because Decaf was not on the menu..bummer. We also ordered the Morning Heat Bagel, the IMISSU and the Chocolate Daddy. The food is hot and since we were the only ones service was quick. We were given samples of the Nanas Bananas aka Banana Pudding. IT WAS ALL FABULOUS AND TASTY!! This shop is cute and cozy as we sat by the fireplace like in your grandma's house. This little hidden gem is amazing. read more

This coffee shop has a really unique concept- it feels like you've stepped into your grandma's neighbor's living room. The décor and vibe are cozy, nostalgic, and definitely different from your typical café, which I appreciated. However, the experience itself was a bit disappointing. The kiosk wasn't working, and when I walked in I had to say hello to get the staff's attention. There were also no prices listed on the menu, which made ordering feel unclear. On top of that, they only accepted cash, Cash App, or Zelle -- no card payments, which was pretty odd and inconvenient. I ordered the banana pudding matcha and the coconut cloud, and the total came out to $23.50, which felt very steep, especially without transparent pricing. The banana pudding drink was good, but the matcha quality wasn't great, and the coconut drink was very sweet. Milk options were limited to whole milk or oat milk. Overall, the atmosphere is cool but the pricing transparency, payment options, and drink quality didn't quite match the cost. read more

Neighborhood Grandma opened recently where Antiqua Coffee shop once was . Basic infrastructure same. Decor has changed. Seating inside and outside. N.G. Is a franchisee of Hippie's Brew, not the original owners. The present N.G. menu is Hippies Brews sourced. additions in the future may not be. No signs seen states that kiosk is used for ordering. Didn't see menu or pricing either. Single person on duty was buzy. Returned later to order with his help. Offerings: Mocha based drinks, Brown suga based drinks, NY inspired cookies, pastries, breakfast.. Sips: baby jug Rick Ross coffee (20) pre-mixed. -tastes slightly sweet, latte based, cinnamon hints. *(Ai Overview): cold brew coffee with whole milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon. Sugar toppings. Yin Yang cookie (8) -thick cookie with many layers & different textures, has white & chocolate intermixed sections. The dark section from dark chocolate & white section from white chocolate? Best eaten slowly to savor. -some dark Oreo type cookie sections in cookie. Robbie Thickee cookie (8) -also thick brown cookie, slightly sweet. Has almond & walnut pieces on top & within. Also embedded were raisins, the source of sweetness. 4.5 semi-worthy:YMMV Quality: very good, unique artisan ingredients. Quantity: Ok would skip cookies next time-too sweet. read more

5 stars for customer service from the owner or possibly manager; and coffee is 4 stars, However... I initially ordered a 16oz 'Nanas Bananas' ($13) then I saw its matcha only, so I changed my mind to a 16oz 'Golden Caramel Comfort' ($8) coffee. I ended up paying $21 for one 16oz . When I got my order the barista gave me the 16oz of Nanas Bananas "mixed" with Golden Caramel Comfort. Again, the drink is great but if I'm paying for a price of two 16oz lattes, then I might as well receive two 16oz (32oz total) of drinks. The baristas should really take their time with how they're charging, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, because no cup of coffee should ever cost $21. 3 stars for incorrectly charging, overcharging and the miscommunication. Ill pay $21 for 2 drinks but not for 1. That's literally the cost of a cocktail in Vegas. I hate bringing down reviews for local-mom and pop-businesses. But the barista wasn't hearing me correctly and I don't understand mixing the 2 types of drinks in 1 cup for a price And size of 2. read more

Stopped in after dropping off our rig for fire damage repair. The cozy atmosphere and friendly welcome made our day. We ordered some breakfast sandwiches (yummy) and iced coffee and matcha drinks. The iced drinks reminded me of the first time I tried iced coffee in SE Asia (decades ago). They were delicious, a real treat. Thank you! read more

Parking was easy at the time of day we arrived ~1pm. Staff was very nice. The chocolate chunk cookie with nuts was hot out of the oven and so very delicious. We had a yummy french toast sandwich with egg and turkey bacon and a cold brew (a bit strong for me). I will try a different drink next time, I like it sweet. Cafe and restrooms were clean. Decor is so cute. Outside seating is nice with plenty of tables, chairs and canopies. Mmmm, that cookie!! read more

Was in the area doing a field visit and needed an ice caffeine beverage. Good old yelp directed me here. As you walk in, it took me to granny's house. Love the wallpaper and the decor. When I came in, Imelda greeted me and made me feel like family. I scanned the menu and with her help, made the selection. I ordered the 16oz and it was a bit pricey at $8.80 but I guess renting a space can be costly. read more

This cozy small business deserves some love. The breakfast muffin was surprisingly good, light, and the sriracha mayo sauce was the perfect complement. The ambiance is exactly what a neighborhood coffee shop should be. Nice vintage furniture and great natural light. Whether you're meeting a friend or working solo, you'll find your spot. The cinnamon latte (Yee) was okay - I wish it could've been a bit hotter and a little less sweet. I'll make sure to ask for these adjustments next time! The staff were also friendly and interactive. I enjoyed it. Bottom line: It's the kind of place that makes a neighborhood feel like home. Highly recommend. read more

Congrats Neighborhood Grandma, I've come out of my 2nd Yelp retirement and you got me to write a new review in over 5 years! The concept of a coffee shop in the style of grandma's house seemed like it would do well aesthetically speaking, but I had my hesitations since it seems it's a rebrand of Hippies Brew, who's coffee is pretty much premade coffee over mixed with syrups. But I decided to try it out since I was coming off the San Mateo bridge midday and they were open. I was originally gonna just get a cookie, but decided to try a matcha with pretty low expectations. For a 16oz strawberry matcha and a chocolate chip cookie plus a 0.75 service fee, the total came out to $21.05. I think the cashier charged me for a $13 banana pudding matcha instead? Either way, I feel like the fancy matcha places these days that use ceremonial grade matcha charge less than what they charge here. Also, they added cinnamon; very overpowering so the drink turned into sweet cereal milk. As of the writing of this review, I haven't tried the cookie but I'm not expecting Levain Bakery quality. read more

When it comes to their operating hours it's honestly best to call first to see if they're open. I tried going twice but the store was closed when the hours said otherwise until the third time they were open. I got a drink and cookie and beware if you don't like sweet stuff then I wouldn't recommend. I personally have a sweet tooth but even attempting to finish both was a bit much for me. The guy taking the order was really nice and chill, even offering an extra free drink or cookie. The seating and decorations make it feel very welcoming and there's even a few board games to play. Nonetheless my experience wasn't bad when I was able to order, but I would say it gets a bit overshadowed when it's on the third attempt and not entirely what I expected to consume. read more

The place is in a hide-a-way spot in the back of Industrial Blvd. It's decorated really cute and comfortable as if you were sitting in your own tv room with your granny reading a book. If you've been to their sister company Hippie Brew, then you already know how good their drinks are. My go to is the "Rick Ross" . The gentleman that works the counter is super cool. You can have random conversations with him and chill for a bit while enjoying your yummy drink and freshly baked cookies that they prepare daily. read more

I was craving a sweet coffee today and boy did I luck out! Tucked away in an unassuming spot is quite literally the cutest little cafe. True to its name it's decor is super sweet and cute. I loved the little "granny" sofas and fun named items on the menu. I asked the server what their recommendations were and was not disappointed. From the first sip of my iced cinnamon mocha I was pleasantly surprised. It was just the right amount of sweetness, milk, and ice. And there was even a delicious amount of chocolate drizzle which it gave it that extra oomph on this cold drizzly afternoon. But what most impressed me was their banana pudding omggg I fell in love from bite one. I didn't want to finish the pudding. I almost shamefully licked the container but my face wouldn't fit LOL definitely would recommend to those who love sweet treats! This place is a super fun spot to check out! I would definitely try it out if you're within the area. read more

These cookies are AMAZING- flavorful, soft, but with a little bit of toasty crunch. I had chocolate walnut and my husband had cookies and cream. Definitely recommend! We were also surprised and intrigued by the addition of matcha drinks with real fruit (will be getting one next visit). We love Hippie's Brew coffee and have been following the business around the East Bay. We were super excited that we could get this deliciousness again at the Eden Landing location. The coffee shop is super cute (love the lamps, wall paper, and green chairs). The staff and owner, Sonya, were lovely and very welcoming. We are happy to continue to support this local business and look forward to tasting all of the new goodies. read more

I recently discovered Grandma Coffee Shop, and it's honestly one of the best neighborhood spots I've come across. The atmosphere is full of good energy and genuinely kind people who make you feel right at home. I mean that! We even celebrated my son's 10th birthday here, and they went above and beyond for us. They made 50 mini pancakes for him and his friends along with fun strawberry and chocolate drinks that the kids absolutely loved. For the adults, we enjoyed a Mexican hot link sandwich and delicious turkey, bacon, and chorizo breakfast sandwiches. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What really stands out is how beautifully blended the menu is. You can tell there's thought and heart behind what they offer, and they even have extra touches that make the experience feel special and unique. If you're looking for great food, welcoming people, and a place that truly feels like part of the community, this is it. We'll definitely be back. read more

I came across this place because of a TikTok video! It is kind of hard to find since it's tucked away but there are other shops around the business that I never noticed and was glad to discover. Two women were working when I went, and they both greeted me and made me feel welcome immediately. I had just come from a Christmas photo shoot with my dog, so I was hesitant to come in because I had her with me and was in pajamas lol, but they both made me feel comfortable and even asked to take my picture (see below :) ). The turnaround for drinks was quick as they were taking my order and the person in front of me. I got the coconut cloud and nutty cookie!!! Both were really good! I enjoyed the flavors In both and def got my moneys worth as it is the next day and I am still struggling to finish the cookie lol. The vibe in there gives cozy and adequate seating for people to come and relax or do some work. I can't wait to come back! read more

I've been coming here weekly since it's close to my work, and their coffee drinks are absolutely the best. The staff is always friendly, and I love supporting a local business. My go-to drink is the Grandma's Mocha Hug (white mocha) - it's sweet, creamy, and hits the spot every sip I take. I'm not sure if they offer adjustments but honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. It might be a bit sweet for some people though but it's definitely worth checking out. The cozy interior feels just like being at Grandma's house!! read more

Great service, great drinks, great atmosphere! The decorations were so cute, and it was a nice place to stop and get some work done.

We were looking for a coffee spot and decided to try Neighborhood Grandma based on reviews. We walked in and the aroma of various cleaning solutions was in the air which wasn't good. The self ordering kiosks were out of order. The menu is attached in my review. Fairly simple food and drinks. Friend ordered the bag muffin and got muffin egg sausage sandwich. It looked like they egg was just reheated and for the sandwich is was pretty expensive $14 for a sub par sandwich that resembled an egg McMuffin. Then I ordered an Expresso, she replies 16 or 20? I said Expresso again and she replies 16 or 20, we ended up with 20oz of black coffee. Didn't taste like Expresso or look like one. The food is bit overpriced and ok. Coffee was disappointing unfortunately. The ambiance do resemble grandmas living room and playing smurfs cartoon on replay is a bit much. We drove from downtown to give them a shot and now we know. Please revisit your menu as when we ordered one item they would substitute another item. You should have stock of item listed on your menu which consisted only two hot items. Unfortunately this was a disappointing visit. read more

Came here for the Hippies Brew coffee, but ended-up going with a cold brew and the most decadent chocolate chip sea salt cookie. While I was waiting for my friend to arrive, I saw countless numbers of people going in and out of the doors. Upon entering, I was assisted by the friendliest gentleman who walked me through ordering at the self service kiosk (he didn't have to help me, but going that extra mile made me feel welcomed). My order was out after my quick visit to the whimsical bathroom with its Ben Franklin blowing bubblegum wallpaper, sage green walls, and gold elements. I loved everything about this place; so many design elements that force you to look around and pay attention. We sat in the living room nook by the digital fireplace and were able to catch up while they played the best curated playlist of 90's freestyle. The cookie was huge, and I ended-up taking the rest home. It took 3 days to devour. lol At some point after I had already left, I realized I left my jacket. I called in to see if they could put it aside for me, but the number linked to Neighborhood Grandma takes you to a satellite location and I hadn't heard back from them. Nevertheless, I came in a couple days later and was helped by the same gentleman who was there on Friday. I was so happy they had my jacket; it was a gift from a close friend. He was so polite and had such a calm demeanor, he is proof that genuinely good customer service still exists out there. I will most definitely be back! read more

I still love this coffee place. I was so bummed out that the 2 Union City location closed down and the San Leandro one too. Now another location in Hayward just opened up. I really hope this location stays open because their coffee is still as goood as I remembered . Their coffee Rick Ro$$ and Yonce, I high recommend! The staff was super nice and thank you the kind gentleman that opened the door for me while I had 8 coffee to carry out. The aesthetics in here is such a vibe, I love it in here. Even in the bathroom! I love the music that's playing and the cool thing about it is that you can hear it all the way in the bathroom that's because there's a speaker in there too.

Happy to see their return! They're in the soft opening phase and trying to introduce some new concepts from their previous Hippie's Brew locations. They're clearly passionate and trying to put their best foot forward despite their past unfortunate struggles. I had to come back for the gangstas paradise. I tried the ying yang, which is a cookies and cream cookie. I'm not a fan of those types of cookies typically, but this was an exception. Edges were perfectly crisp and the inside was soft and gooey. It was a bit sweet, but I mean it's a cookie lol. I got a robin thicckee to go and Nick was kind enough to throw in a Richie Rich extra cookie so I can eventually try all three. The ambiance has a grandma feel to it with a modern twist. Warm, personable service. Shoutout to Nick always working hard, cleaning, welcoming every guest and making an effort to connect with everyone that walks through the door. Come by and show some support! read more
