The atmosphere at Hippie’s Brew is just what the name suggests: funky, alternative, and fun. When you arrive at this popular Hayward coffee shop you'll be greeted by a colorful floor-to-ceiling mural, featuring a dozen different faces, representing people from different walks of live.

Feel free to grab a couple of seats and arrange them wherever you like — at a table, near the television, by a window, wherever. The menu here is just as eclectic as the atmosphere; you'll find all the typical espresso, coffee, and pastries that you'd expect at any coffee shop, but you'll also find fun and unusual food options like cinnamon toast, peanut butter sandwiches, and brown-bag lunches featuring your choice of sandwich, chips, and a surprise special treat.
