Lucky Duck

High praise for the Hayward team for their new concept. This elevated coffee shop is serving up the best pastries in town (and maybe the valley) along with coffee like iced coldbrew with miso sweet cream and toffee nibs. They have the world's best cookbooks and an amazing curated collection of kitchen and home goods. You must dine at their snack shack out back. Their first culinary residency Astral left us speechless as we bit into their BLT taco.
