My boyfriend and I ordered some pastry and he had a frap and I got a smoothie. He tries to get his straw to the bottom of the cup but he can't because there's a gigantic chunk of ice in his cup! It took up half the cup! He brought it up to the counter and asked if they could reblend it and they said no we can't do that. I realize that as far as sterility and cleanliness they can't reblend it but they had an attitude about it and didn't even offer to make another or refund his money. There's no way that huge piece of ice would have not been detected. They had to have known it was there. This is no way to run a business! Also as he was ordering right in the middle of his sentence a coworker walks up and starts talking in Spanish to the woman taking out order. How rude! Was that necessary? This place is nothing like it used to be. There was an older gentleman there before and he was very nice and accommodating. Needless to say I will never go back there. I would recommend you check your drink before you leave the counter. read more

I wanted to try a new place and this was down the street from my og place. The bagel was delicious. The egg bowl kind tasted like it was microwaved. Now for the drinks...the ice mocha tasted terrible. I don't think it was drinkable at all. It had a weird taste. It tasted like if the smell of a nail salon had a flavor. Not great. The Frap in the other hand was way better. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean! I probably won't come here again. A lady had came in earlier and asked to replace her drink bc it didn't taste good either. We approached the lady and she kind of was rude about it and we just wanted to let her know nicely but took it the wrong way. We didn't ask for a replacement or anything, we just wanted to make her aware. Saying the coffee has been the same as it always been. The other lady in the back was saying in Spanish that maybe the other lady who returned the drink influenced us to complain. No mam' the drinks are just bad... also silly to assume we may not know Spanish. Maybe they just need to clean their equipment??? read more

A friend introduced me to Java Jax a couple of years ago. He loved the bagel and lox and brought me here to try them out and also bought me one on a separate occasion. I remember the owner being a grouchy older man when I went. Aside from that, the bagel and lox being consistently delicious made me come back. It's been over a year since I had one! Wanting to satisfy my craving for that bagel and lox, I stopped by Java Jox for breakfast. The owner was not behind the counter today. A very pleasant woman was there to take my order. Once I ordered my bagel and lox on jalapeno bagel and paid, I took a seat at one of the empty tables. I sat for a little bit and looked out the large windows at the area. Not very long after, the cashier brought over my bagel and lox to me on a plate (Forgot to mention it was a "for here" order). Man, that bagel and lox was as good as I remembered! Every bite had the perfect amount of cream cheese, bagel, salmon, and tomato. The jalapeno bagel was nice and warm, and was split in half. I ate it all in one sitting. Thank you Java Jax!! I will be back! read more

Love this little place. Low key atmosphere. The baked goods are great. My favorite is the morning buns but they also have good bagels. The prices are reasonable and the two women usually working, are friendly and efficient. It's a nice stop after the farmer's market! read more

Java Jax - Coffee bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

The fresh bagel and lox was great! Everything was prepared fresh and hot! Super fast and friendly service. Java Jax has a sorta retro/old school diner vibe complete with red bartop stools. The parking situation is either street parking and their little designated lot. The lot reminds me of an apartment garage lot. So it may honestly be easier to park on the street. They also offer pastries and sandwiches. I see this more as a casual grab and go place although they do have plentiful seating. I'd come back to grab another bagel! read more

Java Jax - Bagel and lox - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

Tried lunch here for the first time. I usually get breakfast here but wanted to switch it up. Ordered the turkey pesto sandwich on sourdough and it was pretty damn good. Tasted very fresh. Only reduction in a star would be the price. With credit card fee it was around $14 and change. Seemed a little high for a sandwich and a bag of chips but the meal overall tasted great so I don't mind. I would get the sandwich again. PS: Java Jax, bring back the Chicago Dogs PLEASE!! read more

They made a great cappuccino!!! The breakfast bagel was delicious! The bagel itself was just perfectly cooked and fresh.

Great local coffee shop. The latte with sugar free vanilla was fantastic and I highly recommend the breakfast burrito.

At Java Jax, expect to come in, order your stuff, and get it done right. The main guy, tho seemingly grumpy actually is quite friendly under his curmudgeon demeanor. To the left, you'll see a small frame of the famous internet cat- Grumpy Cat, which was gifted to him for obvious reasons, sitting on the counter. He seemed to be amused to share that. I know I was amused he did. The two vegans ordered lattes with the non-dairy options of almond, oat and soy milks. I went with soy, the friend went with oat. We were both happy with our coffees and the ratio of espresso that was used. They welcomed personal cups, which was nice. One less piece of trash for landfill. The price was SUPER REASONABLE unlike in other parts of The Bay. It didn't appear there were any vegan pastries but to be honest, we weren't sure we would even find dairy-free options so no complaints there. We just stopped in for a quick pick-me-up before heading over to Better Chew's Kitchen's grand opening. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in the area. read more

I usually do not write reviews but I had to for this place! For one I ordered a breakfast bagel which to my knowledge and what was told to me by the server was that it came with eggs, bacon, and cream cheese. When I received my bagel it only had eggs and bacon!, so I ask for cream cheese and they told me it would be $1.50 more after I already paid $10 dollars for the bagel which from my understanding came with cream cheese. Also I ordered a combination smoothie which came with strawberries, bananas, and peaches, I kid you not by the time I made it home and was finishing my smoothie I seen big slices of peaches in my drink. This was my first time going here so I am unsure if they usually make it like this or not, but I will definitely not be going back and would not recommend this place!!. read more

if hell had a coffee shop... i'd go there before choosing java jax. middle to older age lady is so effing rude.

This is a small coffee stop underneath a motel and easy to do a quick drive by. We went on a random morning and there was the only old guy, poor dude. Apparently whoever works for him didn't show up. So he was running around and there was quite a line. The menu is extensive from bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. A good spot for a quick stop if he had a full staff working maybe the service would have been faster. But not a place I'd regularly go to for my breakfast. read more

Purchased a Sausage burrito this morning.. Appeared and tasted like the onions and peppers AND sausage were include with the powdered eggs. Not good. I've had other things from the menu that have been good. Not this one read more

Fantastic coffee, both a cup to enjoy and a bag of beans to go. The staff is super friendly and the jalapeño cheese bagel is a must.

The bagels are good , the convenience is good , but the Latino lady that runs the counter is rude af , I've never meet a person that literally has an attitude about making hot chocolate for a customer smh ... I've giving her multiple chances and she never greets me and Completely treats me like a peasant, I talked to my sister and she said she did her the same way today I walked out I couldn't fathom the thought of spending my money with that awful attitude after asking about the flavor of bagels available , I hate that i most likely won't return read more

This right here is a convenient spot to grab good coffee and on-the-go breakfast sandwiches in Vallejo for an affordable price. I like to drop by Java Jax for a breakfast bagel and hot coffee when I need to get me some food in before a long day of grad school classes in the area. I love that the have their own parking lot and that the shop itself gives off a local joint presentation. I appreciate that the workers are always so nice and friendly, and I love that the shop is so spacious and well lit! read more

I've been here a few times as they are close to my house. I usually get an americano, which is usually good, but today I just got coffee (Colombian) it was watered down. I don't know if I'll be coming back but if I do, I definitely won't ever buy coffee. I'm leaving a review because a small coffee cost 2.10, but if I wanted to put it in my own cup, it is 2.50. I actually expected a discount for bringing my own cup but they wanted 40 cents more!!! I just took the paper cup and poured the coffee into my own cup and threw the paper cup in the garbage. Very wasteful. I am trying to figure out what the reason for this is but it defies logic and good business. Other than that, this is a decent place. The food is ok, nothing special or fancy but edible, the espresso drinks are good, the customer service is not bad. I've been helped by the owner and by staff, they weren't rude, but they also weren't friendly. The parking lot is convenient since it's on a busy main street. The seating is cute, indoor/outdoor-although I've never eaten in. I try to support mom and pop shops but I think I'll try a different place next time I need coffee. This place is cute, very nostalgic and conveniently located but I just can't get past the wasteful rip off, only two stars because of it. read more

Skip the chains, this place is phenomenal! I have been looking for a coffee spot that retains flavor but offers vegan friendly coffee alternatives and this spot hit me right where I needed it! Everywhere else my coffee tastes diluted or bland. Not here though! I got an iced mocha with soy milk and the flavor is addictive! The man working behind the counter was kind enough to let me know the blending mix they use isn't vegan friendly, but was happy to make me an iced one! The place was clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing, lovely staff. Excited to make this my new spot! read more

Food is yummy it is located downtown Vallejo. I love their Lox bagel. The staff are nice and welcoming. They do have indoor or outside seating. read more

Java Jax is a no nonsense coffee shop. The place smacks of history. Replete with industrial style bare decor and post World War 2 photos. The proprietor at first blush is four and strictly business. Beneath that gruff exterior is a wry wit, snappy delivery and old world manners. By the way the expresso is first rate. I have 8 shots every morning and Java Jax delivers. I recommend this place. read more

Love the turkey pesto Sandwhich on sourdough bread with a side of potato salad! One of the best sandwiches in Vallejo. There coffee selections are wonderful and very enjoyable to taste. I still yet have to try the Lox with Jalapeño Bagel. Service is fast and friendly! read more

I've seen this place for a number of years and because I'm not a coffee drinker never crossed my mind what food they would have. Good thing they popped up on my search for breakfast burritos otherwise I would have never tried. Just a heads up it's not much parking here and it's on a busy street. It wasn't much of a wait at all with one person ahead of me. So once I decided on what I wanted being the breakfast burrito( no meat) and a breakfast bagel sandwich it was maybe a 5-10 minute wait before it was ready. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. And the ladies that work there were very nice and helpful! My burrito was Delicious and hit the spot! read more

This review is only for the one single cappuccino I ordered. It was cheap and tasted like it should be- enough said. The lady that serviced me was nice; she was busy getting orders ready and let me know she'd be with in a minute. It has a typical café vibe- some people reading newspaper, some people ordered and left. read more

I live this place I dont per sag like the location but their service food and coffee are BOMB would go again and again!

Just a 5 min walk from my apartment my bf and I decided to stop by on our way home from the local farmers market. Usually we pass by when they're are closed so today we were happy to see we were around normal business hours. Their menu is very clear and to the point. Love that. I feel like a lot of the time at other places I'm looking and looking for their cold beverages but their menu was spot on with making it clear. It seems like they are mostly known for their drinks but they also offer food items such a pastries, sandwiches and hot dogs. I ordered a white mocha frappe, ice white mocha, and an everything bagel. Price was real affordable compared to bigger chains like Starbucks. Taste was great! I was super happy with my purchases. And the best part is they're down the street from me. Will be stopping by more often. read more

I've been using this location for working as it's close to where I'm staying, but it's a nice location, and the ladies running the place are awesome. Friendly, polite, great service! They are very quick. read more

Fresh lox, a soft wheat bagel, capers, onions and a chunk of cream cheese. :) It is a good thing I like bagels with my cream cheese so I actually enjoyed it served this way, but it was a just sliced off piece from a big bar of cream cheese. I actually took my sandwich apart and spread it so it covered the bagel nicely. No matter what, it still tasted great. For a quick bite to eat, it was definitely satisfying. Next time I will order it holding the onions, holding the capers and spreading this cream cheese. They have a private parking lot. read more

Great coffee. Food was ok. It helps that they have their own parking which is very convenient. Place is clean and service is ok BUT the bathroom is outside in the side of the building and it was dirty. I wanted to work but there are no outlets for my laptop. A lot of seats inside and a couple outside. $3 for a double espresso and $8 for a ham croissant. Not bad. read more

The breakfast burrito is basic. They use taco sauce and barely put any meat in side the burrito. Definitely not worth the $13.00. Might as well cook your scrambled eggs with cheese at home. Nothing tasty here, unless you got low standards and don't know how to cook. read more

We went 12 people in a group to have simple breakfast here. Every one loved their bagels. Their bagels were quite airy, fluffy and not chewy. I must say their coffee is freshly brewed and little on stronger side read more

If you are new to the Vallejo area, like myself, go explore this coffee house. Small business, but great coffees and bagels. my only recommendation would be for them to open up at 6 AM. The earlier, the better Hint hint* read more

Total hidden gem! Their tuna salad sandwich is DELISH along with the potato salad and pickles. Service is awesome as well. Highly recommend! read more

Only complaint is the price; for the bagel lox, 20 Oz caramel frap and cinnamon bun it was a total of $17 ish. Pretty pricy in my opinion. But everything was really good, the bagel lox you can tell was made with love and care. It was very tasty. I had it with the everything bagel. They ask if you want the pastry warmed up in the microwave. They sell muffins, bagels, croissants, etc. The 2 workers there were extremely pleasant and nice. They take cash and credit. Enjoy! read more

They charge for credit card transaction, that's not the problem, there's no posting that they charge for credit card transaction.

Great coffee! I travel a lot for business and typically the only choice is the big S chain and I certainly am not an S fan. Finding these local places that sell great coffee are awesome. The coffee is super good (especially the French roast) and the service is quick and friendly. Both times I went were around 7:30 am and there were no other customers. I would think that this hidden gem would have a line out the door. Give it a try!!! BTW...I was not driving when I took the photo!!! read more

Coffee is good and I'm sure I'll be back again. But only concern is the male individual does need a warmer personality. First impressions always last but I would still support them. Maybe he was having a bad day. read more

Breakfast/lunch on the go doesn't get any better. The USED TO have the best hotdog in the Bay Area, too bad they discontinued!

Came here for a quick breakfast sandwich on Sunday morning 11:30am. I was the only customer at the counter and there were two ppl eating at tables inside and what looked like 2 ppl waiting for their drink orders. I had to wait about 2min straight before anyone would acknowledge me. I saw 3 staff members repeatedly walk in front of me, as well as another staff person making drinks. No one managed a "hello" or "be with u in a sec", just a bit odd for a mom and pop breakfast cafe. I was finally greeted after the barista finished the previous customers drinks. I ordered their lox bagel and bfast croissant sandwich, and an iced coffee. The food definitely wasn't something to write home about. The breakfast croissant tasted way too hot, as if it had been in the microwave. The lox bagel was the most decent thing, and consisted of lox, capers, block of cream cheese, thin slices of red onion, on toasted cheese bagel. Everything came out to $25 with tip. A bit pricey for what I ordered. read more
