Hizcafe has been serving the City of Hercules awhile now and they are doing a great job on people walking along the Bayfront. A coffee place with a good view of the water and the trains passing by. I tried the entire drink that is on the menu. I do like the Strawberry Refresher. It is a nice cold drink to have while sitting down at the table watching people strolling along the Bayfront. Here is what I enjoy Hizcafe, with the Hercules Farmers Market being nearby on Saturday this would be the place to go to while attending the Farmers Market. Another Five Star Review on Hizacafe

Little local cafe found in Hercules. Great for patio seating and enjoying the breeze by Hercules waterfront. They drinks (hot or cold), breakfast and lunch food. Street parking is available and free. This is my second time ordering an Iced Hazelnut Latte and breakfast empanada, and it's good. Quick bite with a coffee. There rolo steak sandwich is delicious. Hot and freshly made from the kitchen. Come check this spot out!

Nice little corner cafe by the water. It has a good selection of drinks from boba drinks to coffee and lattes. I like to get the Vietnamese coffee. Nice to sit here and people watch on a weekend after a nice walk with friends from the bay trail. I love to support the local business here in Hercules since I live in Hercules. :)

Neighborhood cafe with a view. We often come here after a walk along the water. My adult kids like the coffee and sandwiches (Paisa Chicken). For this visit we had the cafe latte and the espresso macchiato. We also had the breakfast empanada served warm - I wish it was a little bit more toasted. I recommend trying their sandwiches and the chorizo empanada. The service is efficient.

Super cute tiny cafe by the bay! It felt surreal - like it's an extremely cute residental street. Lots of parking by the bay.They have great selection of colombian coffee, empanadas, and alfajors! I had an ice coffee, perfect treat and stop on a long drive.Plenty of patio seats with the bay view. It's so nice and peaceful here.You can also walk by the bay! But I definitely got bitten by a mosquito even at like 4pm so be careful!

First time trying this place out and it did not disappoint! It is basically an order to go and dine outside place. Seating is very limited only about 12-15 chairs outside. It's right next to the shore so you can count on a nice view and fresh breeze!The service is really good, employees are fast and very kind. The food and drinks are also really great! I tried the passion fruit refresher with sparkling water and lychee jelly which was nice and refreshing ;) I got through half the drink before remembering to take a photo. The empanadas were super tasty! They were both packed with flavor and the dough was a nice soft texture. I tried it with and without mango habanero sauce and either way was really yummy! If you live in the area or are dropping by the area you should visit this place for a great drink or snack! They even serve sandwiches and other great meals that i hope to try out in the future!

Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy. The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Hizcafe is more of a grab and go type of situation, since they only offer outdoor seating. This would be a great spot to sit and catch up with friends on a warm, sunny day, and there is a nice view of the water over the train tracks if you look west. If you are looking for a cafe to get some work done, this is not the spot. Also, they do not have any bathrooms. I got the iced vanilla latte, which was ok in terms of taste. For caffeine purposes, it did its job. I also got the chocolate walnut alfajore, and it hit the spot. The dulce de leche filling contains walnuts, which added a nice crunch and offset some of the sweetness. Saw the many reviews raving about the empanadas, which I'll have to try next time.

Cute little corner coffee shop, right on the water! My husband and I took a walk along the trails and stopped for breakfast here. We got a hot matcha, a java chip iced drink, and two empanadas each (I got ham and cheese, and he got chorizo). The matcha was good, but a little sweeter than I'd normally prefer. The empanadas were decent size. I'm glad I got two (one would have been a very small breakfast, but two was filling). Mine were stuffed with a lot of cheese. My husband's were stuffed with a lot of chorizo. Definitely a cute spot to stop for a small bite and enjoy a slow morning.

Views are amazing from here ! Sunrises - sunsets - or just throughout the day :,) you get a great view of the bay. Empanadas are delicious - really flavorful & the outside has a crunch! I love the sauces they have for the empanadas as well - from a fellow sauce queenThe ham & cheese one tastes like a fancy hot pocket
