We ordered online ahead of time, so we got our order practically the moment we arrived, and it was delicious! I was also grateful to get a splash of almond milk for my coffee from the barista; her and the rest of the staff we encountered were warm and obliging. 🥰 And the new location— sooo much roomier inside than their former spot, and the decor made the experience all the more pleasing. Consider us soon-to-be regulars here— we’re completely won over!!!!

So glad they have a new spot! Conveniently by TJs! I tried their empanadas in their old spot and wasnt too happy about their crust but now... their crust is lighter, less dense, and more flaky. The fillings were hot and well made and well seasoned. I loved their mushroom empanada and also their staff recommended a favorite: Fugazetta which is caramelized onion oregano and mozzarella. Yum. So glad I tried it. Capaccino was perfectly strong =) simple sarah coffee w cinnamon was lovely. also got a bit of work done on their wifi, comfy couch, and lounge tunes! I Will be back!

Got a bunch of empanadas to try, and the nitro cold brew. Felt that everything was decent, fresh, and good quality. Can’t say any of the empanadas stood out compared to each other. I actually think the vegetarian ones may have tasted the best.Cold brew was decent too, but not too memorable. Overall a cool place, trying a fun concept. The staff was very nice and the interior was clean and welcoming. It is a good stop for a snack if you’re in the neighborhood.

So glad this place was able to get a bigger space to expand their business! The space had a cozy feeling and the empanadas were delicious as usual. Super cute space and they also added some new empanadas to the menu including beer! P

I almost don’t want to post a review to keep this secret to myself, but pampas deserves it. This is thee best espresso in a 25 miles radius & I do not exaggerate. I have never had such a consistently delicious drink anywhere in the area. I can tell the barista puts passion into his press. Maybe I’m just a coffee nerd, but truly thank you!!! These drinks make me so happy. & I haven’t even started on the homemade empanadas for every flavor craving you may have. Personal fav is the breakfast ☺️ THANK YOU

The food and drink are great. I do wish that they would have more hot tea options also.I do have one issue with them though. A lot of the time when I decide to sit in the cafe to use the WiFi,-of course I always buy-some of the people behind the counter seem to get an attitude. I see them giving glares and also slamming appliance doors. 😬Hopefully this could change because I would love to sit in here without getting glares so not apparent reason.I’m not the only one who has sat in here for prolonged periods of time so I have no idea if other people have experienced this either.

Enjoying the new location! Good staff, affordable bites to go with the quality coffee. Great layout with high tables that are just the right size for a coffee and a book, or to give a sense of closeness with your partner, and a bar to rest your feet on. Table layout makes it socialable if you want. I really enjoyed the soft 80s music, which is not an assault on your senses like the popular coffee chains. Great vibes! Conveniently located next to Trader Joes.

Beautiful restaurant, piano to play if you ask. Coffee is delicious and ground fresh with dairy alternatives if you need. The empanadas are hot and rich, with the warm service of the staff and its location make this cafe a must visit.

Fantastic empanadas every time Ive been to this place, with great coffee drinks too. Love that they also have alfajores cookies from the Wooden Table. My favorite has to be the chicken with that zesty sofrito sauce.

LOVE this place! Their vegan empanadas are the stuff of dreams. And they have oat and soy for coffee! The employees are so nice and I love that they’re now right next door to Trader Joe’s in a much bigger location!

Stumbled upon this place by accident as I was in the area for a few hours, hungry, and needed a place to work for a bit. The empanadas are so good I had to get seconds, the coffee is smooth and delicious, the service is friendly, and they have WiFi! I would definitely become a regular if I lived in the area, we need places like this in Marin 😋

Cute little store that serves what in my opinion is authentic Empanadas. They have a wide variety of fillings to choose from. So far, I was told that the Spinach is a popular choice, I personally went for the Chorizo, and the Sweet Potato! Both are fantastic. The place is a little small, but this is a order, grab, and go kind of place because they only have 4 places to sit (2 inside, 2 outside). They also serves Drip Coffee and other espresso drinks.The atmosphere is amazing. Love the brick, the colors, and of course the food. Couldnt be more happy with the service too!Appreciate the fact that you guys are in my home town! Castro Valley always welcomes local businesses!

Delicious empanada. Speedy service. Friendly service. Clean, esthetically pleasing space with just as clean restroom. Wifi available. Great coffee. Enjoyed my time here, and felt rejuvenated when I left.

Three empanadas, two coffees, $26. The wait was kind of long, 35 minutes. Atmosphere nice. Food, meh, salty. The spinach empanada was hot, the chorizo, warm and the breakfast empanada, cold. Chorizo is more like the Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. If you like strong coffee, there you go. Parking is packed as it shares with Trader Joes. Probably wont go back.

I had wondered why the prices (compared to Peet’s/Starbucks) were lower. Quickly found out upon ordering a chai latte that they throw a teabag in some hot water with foamy milk on top. There was zero flavor. The workers weren’t friendly. The worst part is the rainbow flag hanging there. They’ll never see another one of my American dollars.

It’s always nice to roll past a place and see a decent line, especially when you’re looking for a place for a bite to eat! One of the gentleman in line recommended the breakfast empanada which I ate so quickly I did not even take a photo to be able to post! Oops, but no regret LOL. Nice and flaky with quality ingredients. The next time I will have to try the mushroom and one of their coffee options. Super convenient location as well! :)

Tried two empanadas: mushroom and beef. The mushroom empanada was pretty good. I typically dont go for vegetarian options but I really enjoyed it, highly recommend it. I did not really like the beef empanada. Not flavorful.

As Im sitting here sipping on my 12oz large coffee that is suppose to be 16oz but according to the lady (probably the owner), tries and explain to me that reasoning for liquid volume is because theres an extra shot in the large but yet the volume is still 12oz and not 16oz. Minor detail but her explanation was quit the cop out. Instead of taking care of her potential longer term, repeat customer she went and gave me an excuse. I spent $50 for 7 Empanadas, 1 Large Latte (12oz), 1 Small (12oz) Latte, 1 hot chocolate and forgot to give me the alfajores cookies didnt realize that till I got home and the wifey asked for her cookies. For the Empanadas slightly above average, for the service.... Im torn for small a business operating in this crazy shut-down period to perform like this! SMH

Pampas Café is the perfect place to enjoy an experience once reserved for Argentinians. Delicious empanadas, fresh, plump, hot. Excellent espresso, rich, and with a proper crema. And, though it is not my cup of tea, you can get mate or any of a number of teas. Theres outside seating to enjoy on warm days. And nice people at the counter. Check it out.

I’m not usually an empanada fan, but after trying the apple and mushroom empanadas at Pampas Cafe, I am! Both were delicious, leaving me wanting more. Served a perfect temperature for each. Also, the cafe interior is cute, warm, and welcoming.

Such tasty empanadas! My favorite one is the chorizo and my husbands is the mushroom.The new location is easier to get to, although parking can be kinda tough sometimes since its in the same parking lot as Trader Joes. I do like that its closer to me now!The new space is also a lot bigger than the old space, and now there are seating options. Seems like a nice place to hang out, though Ive always taken my orders to go.

Pampas Cafe is a fabulous place to enjoy a latte and empanada. My sister and I enjoy the different empanadas, such as the breakfast one, mushroom, ham and cheese. The lattes are to die for! Made to perfection. The staff is friendly and always has a smile of their face. We will definitely return in the future.

This is the team, the food, and the atmosphere I want to bring everyone to when they visit Castro Valley. It feels like a family running this business and the genuine warmth from the staff invites customers to share in that feeling. The empanada quality is consistent, making it worth coming back regularly - toasty warm and flavorful! Hot cups of coffee AND tea - good size. I recommend dining in AND taking empanadas home.Top empanadas for me:ChickenChorizoBreakfastApple (like apple pie done better)Weekday hours as of Mar 2023Tues-Fri 7:30am - 2:30pmPampas moved locations March 2023 (new location is open as of March 25!), and this is a convenient location next to Castro Valleys popular Trader Joes. Nice open floor plan and high ceilings with ample indoor seating for the dozen customers that were there. No outdoor seating at this time. It is different from the classic Pampas location, and although its different, happy to say equally as inviting and cozy! Im excited to see what they do with the piano and intimately-sized stage in the corner of the entryway.Breakfast empanada was STUFFED today, which makes me think the change in location is only going to do good things for the quality of Pampas offerings. So glad!My family eats enough Pampas to justify a subscription service if they had one. I recommend getting punches on their punch card (loyalty rewards)!

I ordered a spinache empanada and waited for them to make a new batch because they ran out. The lady said it would take like 12 min and I didnt mind waiting at all. I patiently waited for my order, its been over 30 min. I heard another customer order the same thing I got, received her order and left. So I figured thats weird and that I shouldve got mine already. I went up and told them Ive been waiting for my order and the lady said something like oh we thought you left and handed me my order (its been done for idk how long). Mind you I was sitting in the front, near the condiment table, where its visible to see me. I never left. I also didnt hear my name called not once! I feel like it was done on purpose.This was my first time going to the new location and im super disappointed.

Recently hooked now on their freshly baked empanadas and brewed coffee! Legit local vibe + connected to Smalltown Society helping showcase local artists. So glad to have Pampas in our community.

Yum! My husband and I stopped by for coffee and ended up trying the empanadas for breakfast since they were there. The empanadas were definitely the best part - we were sad when the box was empty. I loved the Spinach, Sweet Potato, and Humita flavors.The place is small but clean (and cute!), and the staff was friendly and patient with all our questions as first-timers.

Weve been picking up lunch from here pretty much since it opened. Lots of options as far as fillings go, and all delicious. The staff are very helpful and thoughtful (package vegan options up to keep them separate from non vegan). The coffee that I have had here is also great, but I havent tried all the options. Also, the ham and cheese is a major hit with my young kids.

Review №44

2020-12-08 16:40:39

Love their empanadas, wish they were a bit more affordable but they do have a variety of vegan/veggie which I love. I also always have to ask for their side dip and always feel like they are hesitant to give it out, but that might just be me. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone wishing to try delicious empanadas!! Delicious!

2021-09-16 19:49:15

My favorite place in Castro Valley, please try their empanadas you will not regret it. I was brought here by one of my coworkers and fell in love this place. It is very small but the owners are very nice and they get your orders out very fast.

Review №48

2019-01-21 03:14:23

Yummy empanadas with about 10 varieties of fillings to choose from. Appear to be made in advance, not made to order. Good coffee bar. Very fast service. Cozy with only two tables for two inside, a few tables and a counter outside, and not much standing room to wait to place / pick up an order. Owner is very friendly. Ill be a repeat customer when a quick, light bite to eat is called for.

What a lovely place to get a quick bite! The price is a little high, I wish the treats were a little bigger. However you will not be disappointed with the flavor and the staff is very passionate about their food! There isnt a lot of seating and the building is small, I would recommend ordering it to go. I know I will be back again soon, I want to try them all!

Legit coffee, they made me a super fresh long black which went well with the traditional beef empenada. Green olive, egg, and raisin give it the authentic taste. I left with a dozen boxed and ready to share. Will be back on the regular.

Review №61

2018-05-26 02:20:15

Tried the peach empanada. It was just okay. It definitely needed more fruit filling. The beef one was absolutely delicious. I will be returning soon to try the chicken and blueberry empanadas. As for a sugar substitute for your coffee or tea all they have are those nasty little pink packets ofsaccharin. 😝

Review №62

2021-06-11 22:49:49

Cute place on a busy street. Havent tried all their food offerings but their drip coffee was good, so thats a good start! Not really the kind of place you plop down all day to do work though; bit too small for that.

Stopped here for the first time since theyve been open and tried the peach and the chorizo empanadas. Both were very good, also its genius that they stamp the crimping of the empanadas so you know whats inside.

I wish there were more eateries like Pampas in CV. Great service, freshly baked empanadas and strong coffee. People complaining about prices are ridiculous. You get what you pay for. Go for cheap fast food you will pay extra with your health.
