Hizcafe
2216 Railroad Ave, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“Hizcafe is a charming waterfront café where you can linger over carefully crafted drinks and satisfying house-made pastries while watching the bay breeze from a shaded dog-friendly patio. Their empanadas and sourdough sandwiches are genuinely delicious, though their sweet drinks could use a lighter hand—stick with their traditional hot options if you prefer balance over sugar. It's the kind of unhurried neighborhood spot perfect for meeting friends or settling in with your pup and free street parking right outside.”

The iced matcha latte was too sweet and over powered by the sugar content… definitely tasted like green colored horchata… I would have gave the drink back by I was already in my car on the way to the park…
food was amazing drinks were amazing😍 however I went twice and both the times that I went, when I was about to leave, i said thank u to him loud and clear in front of him. The first time I just left didn’t think much of it I just thought maybe he didn’t hear me . The second time I said it I kind of waited for like some reaction and he literally just stood there🧍♂️ looking at anything but me like uhhhhh okay ???? kind of rude because I just said thank u to you, and now u are just standing there ignoring me when I’m clearly in front of you trying to compliment ur food and say my thanks guess it doesn’t matter after I already paid I bet u do that often too . atleast you should say ur welcome or thank u or have a nice day or come back soon . Rude as hell stick as employee. Never ever going back there. Sucks because I thought I had found my comfort place, I walk by here everyday and was so happy when I discover this cute shack.. I already have bad enough social anxiety and employee dude ruined the whole experience and the whole entire vibe of the beach :( . Food was good tho .
Ordered their Rolo Steak sandwich, mushroom empanada and potato empanada and all are delicious!! Perfect sourdough bun and filling empanadas insides.
Hizcafe is a wonderful spot in Hercules, perfectly located by the waterfront with beautiful bay views and a welcoming outdoor atmosphere. The shaded patio is dog-friendly and ideal for relaxing with a drink while enjoying the scenic surroundings. The drink menu is excellent, offering a range of rich and robust coffee options—from classic espresso drinks to indulgent lattes and macchiatos. Tea lovers will find a nice selection of teas, and there are also refreshing cold beverages available. Every drink is crafted with care, making Hizcafe a great place to start your day or unwind in the afternoon. While there’s no indoor seating, WiFi, or restrooms, the friendly staff and peaceful outdoor setting make Hizcafe a standout choice for anyone seeking quality drinks and a relaxing environment by the water.
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!
