I love four things about this place:
1) French Roast always available
2) Free wi-fi
3) Comfortable place to sit and escape the normal deep friend fare from other local businesses.
4) Locally owned
Yeah, Hayward is getting more corporate (Walgreens, Wal-mart, Perkins, McDonalds) but there are still places like Backroads that are not part of the corporate, strip mall scene. -

Great espresso, great service, nice artsy place. This is what chain corporate coffee shops are trying to replicate. What a pleasure to find it here being as good as it is. Just make sure they're not sneaking flavored syrup in where you don't expect it. They messed up a macchiato so badly with whatever syrup they added to it was almost pathetic. The fact they had to be told not to squirt fake whipped topping from a can onto said macchiato WAS pathetic. If my wife were writing this I'm sure it would be a two star review.
Take a four star espresso, five star decor and service and a failure of a macchiato I'll split the difference to give them three stars.
Advice: Your coffee is good. Please make all the sweet stuff optional. It may make you money in what amounts to a tourist town, but with $300 art on the walls you might want your standard coffee drinks to be a step above Dunkin' Donuts as far as sugar content is concerned. -

I completely agree with JP, if you're heading up to Hayward from The Cities on 70/63, stop at Alley Cats in Spooner, or try The Pavilion right behind Backroads and save yourself from having how to teach the "barista" how to make your dry cappuccino.
