Cozy turtle themed cafe featuring live music around 1pm on a Saturday, the duo performing well-known tunes on the harmonica, resonator guitar, and shakers, as well as vocals. Just a few tables with seating inside but we found a couple open window seats to enjoy some standard beverages, hot tea and iced mocha made just right. I also got a breakfast sandwich with bacon, and it was made fresh and served hot, with lots of fluffy eggs and melted cheese between the soft and airy croissant, and the bacon cooked to a slight crisp with just a bit of fat to add enough flavor. Service was efficient and super friendly, we felt welcome the entire time we were there. A casual and carefree atmosphere surrounded by cute and quirky turtle decor, it certainly has a unique appeal for enjoying delicious treats.
i've lived in hayward all my life and finally decided to stop by here. first time being here and i love the ambiance! the service was good and so was the coffee! will say its a little tucked away and parking can be a bit difficult but thankfully there's parking across the street. will come again!
Love stopping by here, such a great local spot with great tea and coffee and unique food items, pictures below are from a couple visits. Nice artwork and real plants are a nice touch. Great place to hang out and service always very friendly with a personal touch.
Hot chocolate is super rich 10/10 Breakfast sandwich was hot but yummy 10/10 i love how comfy it is inside such a hidden gem in hayward!
Cute little cafe where if your a local you probably have a relationship with the owner/employees based on what we saw while there. Lots of drink options and a few breakfast items on menu. The jalapeño bagel was tasty as was the Raspberry Mocha. My group also tried a chai latte that was a little heavy on the milk and a lavender matcha latte that was tasty but sounded like it wasn't a favorite for my matcha loving friend. Parking was a little confusing since I'm not familiar with the area but there are lots of public lots within 2 blocks if you aren't able to snag a street spot.
This is my favorite cafe and had contributed greatly to my happiness after moving to the bay. April is so friendly and professional, and her coffee and food is simple, healthy, and amazing!
There are a few other cafes around here I can go to, but I prefer coming to Snappy's for their strong drip coffee that is not overpriced. I will happily support family owned businesses whenever possible. The other reasons why i keep going back are the healthier snack options, like fruits & unsalted nuts to go with the coffee for that much needed afternoon pick-me-up.
A happy 14th anniversary to Snappy's Cafe! A quaint coffee shop with excellent service from owner April and delicious coffee.
Wanted to give this local coffee shop a try. Located on a very busy street, it was nice that they had a small parking lot located next door. Once inside, the coffee shop is pretty small and gives off homey vibes. It took sometime for them to get to us but you can tell the coffee is made with care. Ordered the Mexican hot chocolate mocha. 10/10. It wasn't too sweet or too coffee tasting. It was a perfect balance. I will be coming back to get it again!
Still awesome, still very small business run by one super woman, and now she expanded one of the best perks of going there, filling her journal of "what are you grateful for", which i fill me with warmth when i fill it. And now i can buy from her merchandise option, a new journal!
