Small location with a couple of tables. Friendly and good service. Good coffee menu. Breakfast options very limited and tasted mediocre.

Always consistent. Polite owner. Easy and inexpensive items to choose from on the menu. Nice little cozy location. Music always playing in the background but not disturbingly loud. I tried many different beverages here and loved them all, especially the Frances. read more

My husband has been getting mochas from the Snappy's booth at the farmers market for a long time (and I've been drinking them when is choosing potatos...) but we finally made it to the little home base coffee shop on A street yesterday. Got an excellent small blended iced mocha (and when ordering was not met with a confused look and then an "Oh, you mean a tall iced mocha fredo?") Refreshing. Both the drink and being able to order in plain english. Cute little shop, only a handful of tables but I could totally see bringing my laptop and hanging out a little while. I saw an expresso brownie sundae on the menu board, I will have to go back for that. And there's a breakfast sandwich my husband wants to try. And I will probably have a few bites while he is looking at something else. read more

April is awesome! Love what she stands for and hopes to create with Snappy's. it's exactly what Hayward - an independent and locally owned business that provides free wifi, great coffee and even snacks! She even supports local artists and products. Great alternative to Starbucks and Peets! The loop makes it hard to spot but if you see the Hayward Video parking lot, you're there! read more

Snappy's Cafe is brand new. A great alternative for gourmet coffee compared to the Starbucks/ Peets crowd. Locally owned and operated. I went in and enjoyed a green tea latte. The best I have had. I will return often. read more

I love that most mom and pop shops are open on holidays :p Snappy's Cafe is very cozy! I love their art display and red walls. The deign and layout of the cafe is really nice! The cafe has their own restroom and it is super clean! Today I had their Tropical Iced Tea, due to the recommendation on yelp, it was refreshingly good for this hot day. My boyfriend had an orange creamsicle and it was super good! After driving from Hayward to Saratoga the creamsicle did not separate. The prices are reasonable and quality of their drinks are awesome! read more

Very nice place! Owner was a doll and coffee was good. They get pastries from Swiss Delices around the corner. Unfortunately, SD is now closed to the public except for a few days but you can still get your fix at Snappy's! I like the idea that they host live music as well. read more

Everything is wonderful here. April is vary nice, food is yummy and coffee was delicious. Cute small but cozy cafe with parking next door. I'm excited to go back and enjoy music. Coffee was yummy too! read more

Love Snappy's! It has such a relaxed and homey feel to it. I always look forward to checking out the different art works displayed on the walls of local artists she supports. Love the community she brings. April, the owner is very sweet and hospitable. She recognizes me when I visit and I continue to bring family and friends to enjoy a cup of coffee here. Delicious chai tea lattes! And raspberry mocha! read more

See all

Delicious coffee. You get a card that stamps each drink you order n after the 10th stamp u get a free drink! There's handmade sandwiches, pastries from local vendors and not over priced. They have events too like an artist will sing etc. And there is a small library of Japanese books by the restroom where custoners can read from whike enjoying there drink. The green tea late is the best I've ever had in my life! Closed on Sunday. read more

Cute and family-owned. Their dirty chai is so delicious! The place is tiny, yet cozy. read more

Snappy's is one of my favorite local coffee shops to come to. I live in walking distance so I like to visit at least once a week while I'm working remote. Snappy's owner is very sweet; I always feel welcomed in the cozy home like atmosphere of the cafe. There are a lot of yummy options to choose from, but as a creature of habit I always go for a iced dirty chai and the breakfast sandwich (I recommend everyone to try it). Sometimes I spice it up and get the vanilla latte. Not to mention along the cute bright red walls are are different types of art and photography from local artists. My review is long over due but this morning during my visit "Santa paid for my coffee." It's kind acts like this that make coming to Snappy's and supporting our local businesses way better than standing in line at any Starbucks or Peet's. read more

A wonderful, little cafe in downtown Hayward.

I really like the place. The lady who owns it is fantastically nice.try the dirty chia. read more

Snappy's Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Snappy's, I love you. We've lived in Hayward three months and you look so cute and I've always wanted to stop in, and I finally did. It's small and friendly, it's cozy, the drinks are big and delicious, the lady who I assume is the owner is friendly and chatty, and she had no problem with me camping out with my laptop and working a few hours. I had an iced chai tea latte, and yes, it was way better than what you'd get at Starbucks. I will start going here weekly, I love supporting businesses like this, and Hayward could use more of them. Also, they have turtles everywhere throughout the store, I love that. read more

Worst cafe in the Bay Area!!! I got a cold coffee and when I asked the lady "Why it's cold" she said rudely: "We don't make cold coffee here". I mean really. You spouse to not arguing with your customers. So, I left my coffee on the table and I went to PEET's coffee. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TASTE.. read more

It has been a few years since I originally reviewed Snappy's Cafe and many things have changed since then. All for the better! In the last few year Snappy's has started to offer blended drinks, fresh juices along with more foods for the busy community of Hayward. Recently, I had a bagel breakfast sandwich which was amazing alone but you can ask for local Lucky Dog's hot sauce to be put on it. The dirty chia is one of the bests I've found in the area. You will always leave with you belly and taste buds happy. The shop itself is very sweet clean and feels like a local cafe should. All the regulars catch up on their lives - if you ask how the regulars met most likely they met in the shop. That right there brings a warming sensation of community in a town where most people are strangers. There is plenty space in the shop to read, work, finish up your homework or work on a yarn project. Plus, there is a little library located in the window sill. Snappy's has grown so much in the last few years. It makes me happy to see such a successful shop in Hayward! read more

Quaint and adorable little coffee shop. A few tables and window sitting. Local photos from the bay area that can be purchased (bonus points for Candlestick Park). Ordered the breakfast bagel w/ eggs, cheese and turkey. My white mocha was made instantly. Not bad at all. Wished more than one napkin was given though. A great spot to relax and get some work done under the smooth sounds of jazz. I only wish they had dedicated parking. There is street parking all around but certain days that can be a bit hard to find. As another have said it's doable to park elsewhere then walk over but when there's two major coffee chains half a block away w/ a large parking plaza, it might be difficult for many to make that justification. read more

The fact that this is my first review in the three years I have been using Yelp should tell you how I feel about this place. The prices are reasonable, the lattes delicious, the wifi reliable and the service is absolutely incredible. If you are a student like me who is looking to get some work done in the Hayward area with a delicious beverage, then this is the place for you. That being said, is this the best cafe in the East Bay? Certainly not. There are two things that keep me from giving it a fifth star: 1. Although it is certainly clean, the furniture is old and frail and the walls look like they haven't seen a fresh coat of paint in a decade. I'm not exactly a small woman, so sitting on these chairs sometimes causes me a little bit of anxiety. 2. The drip coffee is subpar. I made the mistake of ordering it my very first trip and seriously considered never coming back. Fortunately for this place, there's only so much Starbucks I can handle. Why do I keep coming back, then? The LATTES. They are scrumptious and cost a lot less than the $5 places like Starbucks charge. The Raspberry one is a bit sweet for my taste, but all the other ones I've tried have been amazing. Also, their Green Smoothie is quite tasty (and full of nutritious veggies!). More importantly for my work, there is almost always tons of room, in spite of the small seating area. The wifi is pretty speedy for a cafe. I come here two or three times a week and I've never had problems with it, either. Also, the two girls who work here in alternating shifts are great. Super friendly and considerate! To sum up, if you're looking for a local cafe with good internet, delicious lattes, and a sense of community, this place is for you. read more

I've been running into so many cute mom and pop shops in Hayward lately and I'm loving it! I always drive by this place as it is located on A street. I came in here right before a music festival to grab something for breakfast. I ordered a iced vanilla chai and a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. My friend ordered a iced herbal tea and breakfast sandwich on a croissant. This is a very tiny cozy shop that has a little free library (I'm sold) and live music on weekends! read more

Snappy's Cafe - Iced vanilla chai, iced herbal tea and breakfast sandwiches with your choice of bread! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

They sell local honey

This is one of four near by coffee shops In downtown hayward. This place is a good location. It's really compact inside. When I visited, it was really hot and uncomfortable. I ordered a latte n a cappuccino both with soy. It was okay, but I was bother by the taste of the Costco soy milk that was use.. Our drinks tasted pasty from the milk and sour from the espresso. Also, my order was two median drinks. I noticed her pouring me a single shot in each to both my drinks. Usually when ordering drinks, small is a single shot, median is a double shot, and large is triple shot of espresso... This place is way cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more

Love love love this little cafe! The owner is super nice and amazing. Just a genuine person. The drinks are delicious, not expensive, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Skip the major chains and support this amazing cafe! read more

It is only fitting that the first review I write for a local business in Hayward be for Snappy's Cafe. This place is a great hidden gem! The owner is very friendly and service here is impeccable. This is the kind of place that makes you forget where you are. My first time there she had furniture on display that was made by a local artist, which I thought was really cool. The art on display changes every month, which is a great way to promote local artists! The coffee is great (I usually go for a Cafe au Lait) and the food offered is both tasty and reasonably priced. The ambiance is perfect for studying; the decor is home-y and the jazz playing is always set at a reasonable volume. The only drawbacks, which are why I can't bring myself to give them 5 stars, is that it is small. If you go there at a bad time, you probably luck out of a place to sit, or might be a little cramped. Also, the place is on a hill, which makes the furniture uneven. I know that this cannot be helped, and they place cardboard under the tables to make them as even as possible, but one wrong move, and your coffee stains your lecture notes. read more

Snappy's Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

To hell with Starbuck's and Peet's. This place has delicious, reasonably-priced drinks and the owner is such a sweetie. This is the only place I will order a latte (the raspberry and green tea are to die for) and not kick myself for the purchase 3 sips later. I was hesitant about the Dirty Chai (Chai latte + espresso), but, as usual, the quality and flavor do not disappoint :) It's small, and easy to miss if you're driving, but well worth the visit if you're in the area. There's always art on the walls from local artists, and it's quiet enough to get your work done, unlike the noisy crowds you get at the bigger places. It's been my go-to place since it opened a few years back, and I should have written this review long ago :) Definitely stop by if you get a chance. read more

Snappy's Cafe - Dirty chai latte, and a toasted tomato-pesto bagel sandwich. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

A great little place to grab awesome coffee and study for a little while. The coffee came in very nice mugs, and was a very good quality coffee. The atmosphere was nice, and the price was as well. It's nice to find little places like this as an alternative to chain coffee places. read more

I love this place! It's cute and Small Love the decorations and the lady is always NICE and KIND. I definitely like going in there for work or for school. read more

I come in everyday for a coffee and some kind of break fast snack. Boy, do I look forward to this each day now. The coffee is beyond amazing and the food is delicious. Its also very active in the community with a little free library and they have a scheduled city council coffee day where the members have coffee with the residents. I can't say much more without it sounding like a paid ad lol. But, I do recommend this coffee place. read more

The breakfast sandwiches are so good. And the lady is so friendly. I eat breakfast here every week!!

First time to Snappy's and it's really friendly! I was expecting it to be a bit bigger, but other than that there's no complaints here! Good friendly service, fast, free internet, delicious food and drinks for good prices. Definitely a come back place. :) read more

I love ordering from here online and in person! Decent prices and the service is amazing- so is the coffee! Best raspberry mocha I've had so far and Everytime I order delivery they write a personal note which is so sweet! read more

Ordered an extra hot latte. They make it strong here, just the way I like it. Also they have free fruit from someone's mom's backyard. Nice local shop. There is also a parking lot. read more

My friend owns this place, and my wife and I decided to drop by here on the way back to South Bay. The ambient was pretty nice with casual music played through. Paintings there were drawn by a local Japanese artist, which gives distinct aura to this place. With this cafe's logo having a turtle, there were a lot of turtle-related statues and goods. The service was prompt, as our drinks were served immediately after our order. My wife had raspberry mocha ($4), which she liked very much. I ordered white raspberry hot chocolate ($3), and was pretty good. Their price was reasonable given that this was not a large franchised store. I wish there was some spice that would give a kick to my drink, but the hot chocolate itself was really nice without that raspberry taste being too overwhelming. The owner who served us was very friendly and talkative, and made her best effort to make ourselves at home. More people should be acquainted with this kind of cafe with personal touches to heal themselves from dairy grinds, something one cannot do so easily with more well-known cafes. read more

One of my go-to places in the Hayward/San Leandro/San Lorenzo area for coffee! This tiny, cute, hole-in-the-wall type of cafe offers delicious lattes and coffees but not much of food. Small offering of pastries, breakfast sandwiches but not much of anything else. If this place had more food to offer I would find myself here more often. Local artwork is displayed on the walls and changes frequently. Overall a place to get your coffee and get out. Not much of an ambiance since the place is so small. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. Intimate, extremely friendly, and full of regulars. The owner remembers your name, your favorite order, and makes sure you're doing well. Good, fast service, AMAZING food, and an inventive menu. They have a band once a week, and they're not too bad for free entertainment. Snappy's is a wonderful advocate and supporter of local businesses. Whether it's art or honey that has been made in Hayward, she'll showcase it. read more

Quiet and convenient location even when visiting on a weekend. The drinks were good but not amazing. Would definitely recommend trying it out to see if you find anything you like, but will be a cafe to visit if it's on the way! read more

This place is great! I come here for my morning dose of coffee when I want somethin' fancy (yum latte!). I love that they have local art on the walls, and that it changes every so often. April, the owner, is very nice. Try this place, skip Starbucks and support your local coffee shop! Oh, they also have a frequent buyer card, buy 10 drinks and the 11th is free! read more

A homey little coffee shop on the outskirts of downtown Hayward, with great hospitality and delicious coffee! I would highly recommend coming here, especially if you support local business (: read more
