Now, it's just an awesome place to grab coffee and unwind. The staff are always so nice, and this time around we asked for our coffee to be put on a mug instead of "to go" cups. To our surprise, our coffees looked amazing. He was feeling very artistic that day Glad we decided to unwind and actually sat down after our 5 mile hike because heading here for coffee was such a pleasant reward. I wish we have more times like this instead of just grab and go coffee there.

It has a lively, welcoming atmosphere with an outdoor patio and plenty of comfortable seating inside, making it a great place to meet friends or get some work done. Has also a large parking lot.

I tried the Peach Orange Tea with 25% sugar and regular ice, and it was so refreshing! I think there's lemongrass in the fruit tea, which adds a really nice flavor and makes the drink even more refreshing. The regular size is $7, while the large is $9.50, but the large is really huge! Definitely a good option if you're looking for a refreshing drink. The staff was friendly and helpful too. I'll definitely be back to try more of their fruit teas!

Neighborhood Coffee is one of my favorite cafes in all of the Bay Area. Just don't tell anyone…read morebecause I want it to be one of our best kept secrets. Shhhh...! (It was worth the 13 mile drive for me.) With floor to ceiling windows welcoming in the comfort of daylight and warmth of Californian sunshine (thank you A/C), this cafe sits high above Castro Valley overlooking the distant hills and the bay, depending on where you sit. It's in the front space of a church and upon walking in (my third visit), I feel held by the Lord. Strangely, I'm feeling tears well up because this is the exact sort of space I've been needing as I go through some challenging life circumstances. It is peaceful here but it also has a vibrant community energy on a Thursday late morning. This space is welcoming to all of the bay are community and if you didn't know it was a church, you would never know. It's for the whole neighborhood and beyond. There are tall round tables, bar tables, normal round tables, armchairs at tables, long barnhouse style tables. This space was thoughtfully curated to allow for relationships to be grown, work to be done, and quiet time to be experienced. The Americano I had is nice and strong (whoowee... I'm awake now!). They had interesting drink options and some baked goods. Prices were average for the Bay Area. I love that the cafe supports community outreach. From the web, it partners with this church and community programs. It seems to operate around community support and social impact initiatives. I love that they actively support Inclusion & Autism awareness and medical debt relief (WOW!). This is a cafe that is doing it right!

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm always down to try matcha instead. My husband and I decided to…read morebike here on a Sunday morning (10:45am) after our pastry run. Service just ended so a lot of cars were leaving as we arrived. Don't recommend getting in line right after service because I waited over 30 minutes just to get two drinks. The lavender lemonade was very refreshing and not too sweet. The matcha latte on the other hand tasted watered down, so I could barely taste the matcha, super disappointing. It was a nice and sunny day so we decided to sit outside. The inside was very spacious, but I was overstimulated from all of people talking, especially when I was waiting in line. A good spot to stop by to grab a drink and enjoy the view outside if you're in the area. Glad I meet the time to check this place out.

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.

I tried one of their sandwiches, but it was alright. The bread was great, but the sandwich itself was pretty skinny and didn't have much filling. The flavor was ok and nothing really stood out or made me want to order it again. The sugar cane drink was very tasty. It was fresh, sweet, and really refreshing. I would come back just for their drinks, instead of the sandwiches.

Came here this past Saturday and so glad I got to try this place while I was in the area…read more I ordered the L.A.C at 50% sweet (normal) and subbed oat milk. This is their phin-dripped Vietnamese coffee and jasmine matcha tea. I had never seen this combination before. They're all things I love, so I was very intrigued. The L.A.C was delicious. The jasmine was very fragrant and forward, which I really liked. The coffee, jasmine, and matcha blended well together and created a nice and tasty drink. It was enjoyable and I would definitely order it again.

Shout out to Lac Coffee because my husband and I are still relatively new to the area and we were…read moredying for a coffee shop that wasn't Starbucks. Located in a plaza, parking is plentiful and free which was a big help. The inside of their coffee shop was a decent size with plenty of seating. You order on their iPad at the front and wait till your name is called. I opted for their banana cream matcha and aesthetically it was a pleasing green color, but I do wish they would give you more of the banana cream foam on top. That went so quick and I wish I could've enjoyed it longer. Overall, not the best banana cream matcha I've ever had, but it was still a nice treat if you're in the area.

I went in super early, before the rush, and it had that quiet, almost secret kind of vibe that makes it feel like you found something locals already know about but haven't really broadcast yet. I grabbed a coco latte and a matcha with mocha, and honestly, both hit exactly how I remembered rich, slightly sweet, and that strong coffee backbone that keeps it from being too soft or trendy. Just a stiff, comforting cup the way it's always been. There's something about finding a place like that again same familiar flavor, new tucked-away location that makes it feel like it still belongs in your routine. And for a minute, it was the perfect stop before heading on to a friend's place.

We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting! P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.

Order the ube cheesecake, butter toffee cookie, and a assam milk tea with boba. The order came out quickly. Ube Japanese cheesecake is tasty, not too much ube taste. It is super light and moist, love how it is not too sweet. For the assam milk tea, I prefer it with more tea flavor. The drink was ok, the matcha drinks look better. The butter toffee cookie was the best, it was flavorful, the toffee has added toasted nutty flavor with some sugar. I would get a box full. Overall, has a great variety of baked goods.
