    I just went in to order a latte to go and they gave me a mini serving of chia pudding (made with coconut milk) topped with homemade granola, berries and honey. So amazing! Don’t let the street view fool you, this place is lovely in every way inside.

    Romo’s Cafe is such a hidden gem. The staff were all incredibly kind and attentive from the moment we arrived, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming. We enjoyed a delightful breakfast out on their patio, and the ambiance instantly took me back to my abuelita’s patio in Mexico — cozy, nostalgic, and full of charm. There’s a chef cooking authentic Mexican breakfast right outside, and the smells alone are enough to make you smile. I especially loved my delicious café de olla, and my son was so happy with his Abuelita chocolate. Both drinks were served in beautiful tazas de barro, which made it feel even more special and traditional. I’ll definitely be coming back with more of my family so they can experience this wonderful spot too!

    I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place until I drove there for myself… like honestly it’s PERFECT location for all the occasions. They share space with the barbería next door, but it feels like a community to me…. This is a local gem in Hayward that you definitely do not want to miss! It’s located right next to Arteaga’s, serving Mexican delights and drinks. I got their cafe de olla and it is HONESTLY to die for — very medicinal, dark roasted, and made with lots of love. Éste tienda es un café local en la ciudad de Hayward, Y en mi opinión, la gente es muy generoso y simpático. La gente habla mucho español y tienes muchas comidas en el café. La bebida yo recomiendo es café de olla es un café muy tradicional y muy diverso. The owners and the servers are bilingual and are VERY friendly — so if you need to get away look no further than Romo’s!

    Google lead me here and I absolutely love it. The people here are so nice. Ordered the veggie sandwich and iced latte. AMAZING ! While I was waiting they gave me a sample of the chia pudding. It was so good I ordered one on the spot. Love the art inside. Love the seating outside. Please come try this cafe I promise you won’t be disappointed.

    Stopped by Romo Cafe in Hayward on a Sunday around 10am no line and quick service. The back patio had a few parties, light music, and a relaxed vibe, plus it’s dog-friendly. One croissant sandwich and two café de olla for about $20. Great spot for a calm morning.
