Hippies Brew Express

Stopped in for a cup of coffee and ended up with a morning bun as well. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Coffee was great. Highly recommended!

This is one of 3 location. This is an express location so it’s small. It’s next to the Hayward Library. In front of the coffee shop there are a few tables where you can sit outside. I was told that their Union City locations have indoor seating.
The coffee menu doesn’t offer the usual coffee that you may be used to at a regular coffee shop. All the drinks sound very interesting. We ordered iced I’m in Love with da coco which has a nice creamy coconut flavor topped with crunchy coconut flakes. The second drink is Kinda Sorta latte. This one we ordered hot. It has a nice cinnamon flavor. Both coffees are smooth and creamy with lots of aroma and flavor. Very delicious

The patrons and staff at this spot are so nice, it really has a community spot kind of vibe. I actually found out about this place because a customer found my dog (we had just moved nearby and she got out, I was looking all over for her) and the manager called me to let me know! They were nice enough to offer me a sample that day of Gang$tas Paradise and it blew my mind and made my day, on top of finding my dog. So this is now Navi and my favorite spot to get coffee in Hayward now! There's a lovely park across the street where you can enjoy your morning coffee.

Outstanding coffee and customer service from Aleksandr K.

Pretty small location with an order station or pickup station for delivery services. Plenty of outdoor seating or a beautiful park across the street. Only non dairy they have is oat milk. Asked Aleks what vegan options and he recommended the Sorta Kinda Latte that has oat milk sweet cream and he ordered the iced mint drip. Fast service. I blinked and our order was done.

Wonderful little spot in an awesome location. They have fun drink names and a super welcoming staff. Their pinky and the brain strawberry milk took me back to my childhood.

The names for their drinks drew me in immediately! I was initially going there for a Rick Ross but was compelled to try the McLoving Muffin as well. Let me tell you, this was a match made in heaven! The sweet iced cinnamon coffee paired with the pork sausage, egg & cheese sandwich married beautifully & will get this again. The artwork all over the restaurant and the windows is magnificent. I highly recommend anyone in downtown Hayward to check this place out. It’s located right at the bottom of the library. You need to go there today!

Coffee and a lil bite! Food was alright and tbh wouldn't spend my money on that but the coffees...were SO fun and interesting. Got a mint one and the white iverson and highly recommend. More on the sweeter side and playful side but I really enjoyed it. Not something I would want to drink every day because it's probably loaded with some syrup or sugar but really delicious.

This little shop is right next to the Library. I went as I was in town, close to Hayward, and decided to try it out!

I had the McLovin Muffin and a Caprisun! Both delivered! The menu is very creative and has some funny references as names. It is very small inside, but there is also extra seats outside. It was busy when I was there, but the environment is amazing and lots of people took their pets as well!

Give it a try!

I tried the Rick Ross and it was delicious. This place really hits the spot on a warm day. They serve iced coffee and I think I'm in love! I drove 30 miles for this coffee and I'll be doing it again.

First timer here and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Rick Ross iced coffee and it was nice and creamy!! The cashier was really welcoming and gave us some good recommendations. Will definitely be returning once I'm in the area.

Nice lol coffee shop inside the new Hayward library. The French toast sandwich no meat for me added spinach
A great little sandwich & the Rick Ross cold brew coffee 👏🏾👏🏾

Me <3 Coco was exactly what the doctor ordered. Super rich and creamy so I didn’t just want to slurp it down. I actually enjoyed it sip-by-sip! The barista‘s were all very kind as well! No wonder people love the customer experience and product here!

wooooow the yoncé is so freaking bomb!! ive definitely heard a lot about this spot from my east bay friends but never had the chance to check it out myself. the drink was perfectly sweetened (i prefer my coffee sweetened) along with a balanced amount of creaminess. the ice also didnt overpower the drink itself which happens pretty often with iced coffees ive ordered before at other spots - thinking about my drink as i write this review definitely makes my mouth water and would highly recommend you all to stop by and check this place out! additionally, a plus on this location is the fact that it is right next to the library so if i have work to do i can easily stop by, pick up a drink, and head next door. they also have a couple of benches and seats outside which is a great spot for (friend) dates, family outting, a self care day or just cause!!

I'm in luv w/ da coco is the perfect blend of strong and sweet in my opinion!! The toasted coconut topping is a nice addition. Staff is welcoming and friendly!

Not being a big coffee drinker, the biggest praise i can give is that the Rick Ross drink blew me away. It's got a good chocolate flavor and is perfect to have chilled. I ended up getting the can to go and enjoyed it thoroughly over the next couple of days.

Great place, cozy atmosphere and the people that work here make this place one to remember. The freaking french toast is the best. Soft french toast that's tasty with eggs and Canadian bacon. Boom!

Very popular, quirky local coffee shop with fun food options. Located in the Hayward Library building, with it's own entrance, allowing it to open outside of library hours. The only drip coffee option within reasonable distance of Hayward. Their drop coffee and chai tea drinks are fabulous! Definitely try "Ice Loves Coco" and "Yogi Chai".

Pretty good! Hospitable environment to say the least. Anybody who complains about the anti-cop decorations is blind to their tyrannous behavior. Fellas there can make a mean cup o’ joe.

The McLovin breakfast sandwich is the best! I always want more. The drinks are always made to perfection. Definitely one of my favorite quick breakfast spots before work. Pricey.
