Anna's Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Hayward

Located in a lower class neighborhood where junkies hang out in the parking lots, this place is appropriate for the area. Noting that there is almost always a line out the door on weekends, I thought that they must really serve up a great breakfast or something and should check it out sometime on a weekday. Wish I'd gone to IHOP instead. The city of Hayward tries to lure Silicon Valley professionals into a town where there is no place to get any decent food. Sitting here with half a million dollars in the bank, there is absolutely no place to find a high quality breakfast at any price. We're moving! It's a small place but there is adequate off street parking, so if there is no place to park, there is probably no place to sit. The coffee was below par to your average american truck stop. Not quite as good as your basic Folger's. Although the waitresses were attentive to offer refills, it wasn't worth getting a second cup. I ordered waffle with fruit and a side of hash browns. Although there was waffle with fruit and sausage on the menu, I wasn't offered a substitution and was charged separately for everything and did not feel that the meal was worth $22 with juice and coffee. Not that the price matters to me at all. I certainly would have been willing to pay more for real maple syrup instead of the cheap, maple flavored goo they offer. I gladly would have paid 4 times as much for a decent cappuccino or something. Although I must say the food was cooked perfectly, the waffle was thin and the batter was tough. Hash browns were shredded potatoes, perfectly cooked golden brown, but no salt, no seasoning, no buttery oil, no flavor. I left the place with a heavy feeling in my gut like my body was saying "What am I supposed to do with this??". The decor was your basic wood paneling and formica that hadn't changed a bit since the 1970s and everything had an old, yellowish, greasy appearance. However every cleanable stainless steel surface was spotless and the trim was newly painted white. Old faded pictures of Jesus were everywhere along with quotes from the bible en espanol. The glass case at the checkout counter was also full of cheap plastic religious junk for sale along with lots of books about the bible in spanish. The menu is mainly mexican food and breakfast. But after the quality of the breakfast, I do not plan on going back a second time to tell you whether the mexican food is any good or not. If you are a poor immigrant on a fixed income, this is the place for you. If you own a 2 million dollar house in the Hayward Hills, you're probably better off staying home and cooking for yourself. Or sell it and get a smaller place in Mountain View...

Read the reviews and thought the experience would be worth it. I was incredibly wrong. The waitress nose was running while greeting us. Still attempting to give the restaurant a try, we ordered beverages and meals relatively around the same time. The waitresses' attitudes changed after we asked for replacement silverware. Our silverware sets had crusty utensils. The food was unseasoned and cooked in old grease. The cold toast was butchered , contained broken pieces, and had enough margarine to resemble old mayonaise. When the waitress replaces the crusted silverware in our sets. She grabbed replacements and rudely threw the others in the basin. When we discovered our second set was just as crusted as the first, I returned those and asked another waitress for plastic ware. The second waitress rolled her eyes while handing the plasticware over and rudely threw the silverware in the basin. The waitress did ask if everything was okay. I asked for more hot water, and the waitress brought back a small, broken top kettle, slams it on the table before warning me the water is hot, and briskly walked away. There weren't enough condiments in the restaurant to make the food taste satisfying. The service was completely distasteful and definitely resulted in the loss of a big tipper from a foodie. It was a really...

My boyfriend and I went for brunch, we ordered the same thing plus one strawberry milkshake. The milkshake was delicious and we both shared it, the portion was enough. However, my breakfast sucked! The butter was cold and hard, it barely melted on my pancakes. My pancakes got super cold because of that. My eggs were supposed to be over easy but they were very rare that the whites ran all over my hash browns as soon as I cut through with the spoon. My eggs ruined my hash browns and my bacon was so overcooked, they tasted like chicharrones. I felt, I needed a beer with my bacon lol The only ok part of my breakfast plate were the breakfast sausages. My boyfriend's plate, on the other hand, was on point. It's like the chef saw what he/she did on the first and did better on the second. Well, getting service there took a bit, I finally let the waitress know, and she kindly took my order off the bill. I didn't finish my breakfast, we paid and tipped her and left. I wish my plate was like my boyfriend's, it would've been great 😃 Anywho, I doubt I'll...
