Backroads Coffee

Scones are amazing, coffee is amazing!! S'mores mocha is the best coffee I've ever had!!

The latte with oat milk was quite tasty. Ordered a Tuscan sunrise Panini with gluten-free bread. The gluten-free bread was the standard mass produced bread. Which made the sandwich a sandwich, however plain. I will definitely come back again for coffee while in the area. The ambience was hip, welcoming and fun.

If you need coffee in Hayward then this is your place to go! I love the ambience and there's plenty of seating inside. Plus their menu is plentiful ranging from coffee, shakes, smoothies, sandwiches. I love how fresh their coffee and smoothies are. I got the cinnamon bun one day and then the crème brûlée the next day. They were both delicious! It did take a bit of wait time to get our food but it was so fresh, warm, and delicious! Overall would come back again!

Quality/taste: I got the southwest chicken wrap + caramel macchiato. Everything was delicious!! The southwest chicken wrap was much tastier than I expected from this little cafe! The avocado spread on the wrap was what topped it off - SO GOOD and flavorful! The caramel macchiato was also really good. Their coffee tastes strong!! I enjoyed my meal there!Service: Not super helpful when you ask for a suggestion.Environment: Nice and cute. It was packed the day we went! Barely any seats inside the place. Our group of 4 struggled to find a spot to sit but we waited and made it work. Price: Decent pricing. I think what I got was appropriately priced given how good everything was! I'd definitely come back! Delicious!

I understand busy...I really really really do. But busy and rude, nope. The baked goods and breakfast foods were good. The coffee was fine. The chai latte was sweeeeeeeet (in the sugary way, not the great way). I tossed it. And yes I asked before I ordered it "not really that sweet."It's a good stop with the limited choices in Hayward.

It's too bad this is now the only option for coffee near Main Street. It's cute inside but the coffee honestly isn't great. DH had a regular coffee (which was serve yourself from a jug at the end of the counter), and I had a decaf mocha. His tasted burnt and several hours old, and my mocha was just OK... and most of the reason for the OK was the chocolate and the whip cream. One good thing, if you bring your own mug, regular coffee is super cheap, like $1.50. Staff was sub-par today as well, the young person behind the counter didn't even know what kind of coffee they had, and the other team member was grumpy. We were also not told about the loyalty system until after we completed our order. The previous day we had gone in starving and excited to have some vegetarian options for lunch, but we were turned away at 1:30 PM. The older lady behind the counter yesterday was very nice and sympathetic, and first said apologetically it would be a half-hour wait for food, but then a younger gal walked by and gruffly told her "just tell everyone the kitchen is closed". I understand they have staffing issues and it's the Birkie weekend, but it was a big disappointment both days we went. Still, it seems to be one of the few places to get any sort of vegetarian options in town, so I will update my review if we manage to get fed, and hopefully third times a charm, and we will have a better experience.

I lovely place to get a latte in town...get the blueberry lemon scone, it was perfect! It's right near Main Street of Hayward, a great place to start your day while wondering the shops in town.

Stopped on the drive through Hayward. Very nice cafe with a few outdoor tables (brought dog) and had the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Great service.

Love it here! Cute interior, great coffee, good service. We come here when we come to Hayward!

Watered down coffee, we got three drinks and they all tasted watered down and we were very unimpressed. Definitely wouldn't come here again. Although the servers and ambiance is really nice it's sad the coffee ruins it.
