I gone here nearly every day for two years. The owner still looks at me like I'm from outer space every time I order. I order the same thing, every single time. All of the employees are wonderful. They know exactly what I want without me saying a word. The owner? I have to explain to spell it out, every single time. Zero loyalty or recognition. The food quality has been consistently getting worse. The tomatoes are routinely "dusty" looking and look like they have sat in the fridge for a week. My final straw was when I got an everything bagel that came from Safeway that tasted like cardboard. When I asked the owner about it, he said that he ran out of bagels from the "normal bakery" and he had to get some from a "different bakery" (i.e. Safeway). Gross. The Internet rarely ever works. The rotating art is nice and like I said, the employees are great. If you spend a couple thousand dollars somewhere and go there every day, it'd be nice to be treated like something more than a human cash machine. read more

Driven by this place a thousand times, always curious of the hot dog special for $4.50. Finally stopped and parked and ordered the special. Chicago dog style with a bag of chips and a can of soda for under $5. Best bang for your buck meal if your looking for that low priced hot dog fix. Sac's is still great but if you want to try something new, I suggest you pull up and try it out. Great hospitality as well. read more

I cherish visiting Java Jax whenever I visit Vallejo. What this local business has is consistency. Another poster, J.B., critisizes the owner for his demeanor. Maybe the bespectacled owner isn't doing excited backflips everytime a guest comes into the cafe, but he runs a tight ship and you always know you're going to get good service and a perfect cup of coffee. I'd prefer honest, serious customer service than someone being fake and kissing my a** everytime I'm there. Java Jax I love you! read more

Chicago Italian Beef!! This area was surely missing these. I will be back as often as possible for more. Thank you

Overpriced. Small portions. Spiderwebs in the dining area. I placed an order which amounted to $4.89. I was asked if they could add $.11 to make it an even $5.00. WTF?! read more

The owner is so nice to me. The customer service is excellent. I get my coffee every morning clock work. I never wait long for my vanilla soy latte read more

I go to Java Jax to appease my weekly (if not more) craving for a bagel & lox sandwich. Staff is always friendly, they take care in getting your order right, and they're not stingy with the cream cheese if that's your thing. They have a nice selection of fresh pastries, and really good breakfast sandwiches. I have not had the chance to try any of there lunch items, but I'm sure they're exceptional also. Did I mention they serve Double Rainbow ice cream!! They're located in the downtown area of Vallejo with an "old-time" feeling. Outdoor sitting is nice, I myself have not had the chance to enjoy since I grab and go. I think they may also have free WiFi. read more

I really wish they didn't mix the bacon with the egg for the breakfast sandwich! Rookie mistake. Also WAY overpriced, I always end up having to go to McDonalds for breakfast since there's not many options in Vallejo. However, good portions and great staff and service. :) read more

I love to support local business and I must say this place is a nice stop. Tuna sandwich is always fresh and delicious! The coffee I always get it extra strong and always good! A nice place to get coffee if your on this side of town! Support local businesses. read more

I went here the other day for a Chicago dog and was disappointed. They did not have the ingredients I would hope for from a traditional Chicago dog and nothing was fresh. read more

I just tried their special of lox, capers, tomatoes and onions on a toasted bagel. Probably the best Vallejo has to offer next to burrito truck and pho. Will definitely come back for lox bagel. read more

I am so glad to have found this place! I am from San Francisco and recently moved to Fairfield and could not stand going to Starbucks for coffee that tasted awful. I can honestly say this place reminds me of the small coffee shops in San Francisco. The coffee tastes good, they have bagels, and sandwiches- all good. Great food, friendly service! this place has now become my local favorite coffee shop!! read more

On a Sunday morning I found myself in Vallejo. With a couple of hours to kill. It was coffee time and I was in an unfamiliar city so checked out Yelp on my IPhone. Drove over to Java Jax and ordered a cappuccino and a bagel with lox and cream cheese. They were both excellent. I spent two hours there reading the New York Times. The barista was an affable chap and the local coffee drinkers were quite pleasant. Allin all a very positive experience. read more

Came here for the lox and bagel. Delicious as usual. Service is always friendly, place is always clean. The hot dogs look amazing .. Just not craving one at 10 AM. read more

Had a breakfast bagel with ham and a turkey club for lunch. Both were a little mild tasting (could also mean healthier and lower sodium) The ordering process was really long and cumbersome. A bit of a slower pace. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The cappuccino was strong and tasty. read more

Loved my coffee and the bagel. Service is A+ and only thing is that the man behind the counter could smile now and then. Maybe I caught him on a wrong day. Prompt and courteous but not friendly. Reminded me of the soup guy in Seinfeld sitcom. read more

Got a double tuxedo mocha and a chocolate croissant for my son. Fresh and soft in the middle with a bittersweet chocolate in the middle. Omg its good! My son really enjoyed it. The gentleman in front is really outstanding and friendly. read more

This is a really great place to stop to get a bagel and coffee, they're both great here. Add the great service, squeaky clean classic environment, and generous helpings of cream cheese and you have a solid coffee house. Now if they could only open the upstairs patio to guests. read more

Java Jax is a bit of an anomaly in this area. I work around the corner have yet to find another sandwich shop that can even come close to providing the service and quality of food that you can get at Jax. Reasonable prices, great selection, fast and friendly staff. Oh, and the coffee is fantastic too. read more

Locals who have not yet discovered Java Jax, just on the edge of historical downtown Vallejo, are definitely missing out. From freshly-roasted coffees to made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and hot dogs, everything is served up with a cheerful smile and it's delicious! read more

I really love this place. the food is good (as is the coffee), it's reasonably priced (the lox bagel is my favorite!) and the owner and staff are always really nice. One of the few good places to eat in Vallejo. read more

Great food had the croissant & coffee was good but just bad parking not enough parking space in the morning

Great service! I love to come on the weekends and grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich before I head over to the Vallejo farmer's market.

Absolutely my favorite little coffee spot in downtown Vallejo! The coffee is always awesome and the food is delicious too! The BLT club is my personal favorite!! read more

I NEVER write reviews, but I had to for Java Jax. This place is awesome! My boyfriend is from Chicago & has complained for years that he can't get a true Chicago Dog in California. For his birthday dinner, I wanted to have Chicago Dogs, but it was way too expensive to order everything online & have it shipped. I called Dave & explained situation. He put together a complete care package for me, including the celery salt, peppers, relish - all of it. He went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed and he was so nice. I've driven past this place for years and never thought much of it. Now, Java Jax will be on our regular list of breakfast & lunch spots. read more

Really nice people and great coffee. Love that they have a variety of sweets for everybody. Even some vegan things ;)

For Vallejo, an oasis. Friendly service and nice place to get a snack and a coffee.

Just tried the white chocolate frappe a few days ago...Ive thought about it every morning since! I have to get down there to get another one! read more

I've only been here once. I'm a coffee lover. I'd love to go back, but I guess, I never had the chance too. It's usually i'm not around the area or I've gotten my coffee some place else like Starbucks. read more

At first I loved this place I got the lox everytime and my bf gets the breakfast bagle. Then I came in one day and got my usual and it looked thrown together. A giant square of cream cheese and then barley any lox. I brought it to the cashier and he emediatly had an aditude saying that this is how it is always made. I asked for my money back and won't be going back. I really would still go if it wasn't for the fact that the guy acted like I was crazy! read more

They actually have decent food. The turkey sandwich I ordered was simple but fresh- it would be neat if they had more choices of local breads! read more

I drive by Java Jax on my way to work all the time but never stopped by until today. It was busy but there were a few people sitting, chatting, and enjoying their breakfast. I ordered the Bagel & Lox on an Everything Bagel and mmm! It was delicious, and not to mention reasonably priced ($5.75 + tax). The two gentlemen behind counter who took my order and rang me up were really nice. Too bad I'm not working in Vallejo anymore to stop by. read more

coffee shop in an old auto garage! Awesome breakfast and great drinks... The French pressed coffee is better than average (everything is average these days) and my GF's Hot Chai was damn impressive. Every aspect of the food and drinks is right on! From espresso strength to foamy froth! It also fills the minimum requirement of having free wifi! read more

Really love this place! Good coffee, great breakfast (tried their sticky buns & bagel w/lox -- both delicious), and met some great locals. Very down-to-earth vibe goin on too. read more

I always come here for coffee and a snack when Im working at my church (FUMC). Good coffee! Good eats! Friendly staff! I do wish Java Jax would stay open later though. read more

The Bagel and Lox are why I come here. It's a nice place to come have breakfast or lunch in downtown Vallejo. They have really friendly service and a simple menu. They also have a lot of fresh bakery items are not very expensive and are really generously portioned. read more

The coffee was decent, pastry was just ok and the Manager/Owner seemed to put forth more energy welcoming Police Officers and Frequent customers as they entered. read more

They open later now so no more early morning coffees...I think their new hours are from 7am...still good coffee

My favorite dive in restaurant in Vallejo for brunch and coffee. I usually go there every other day for their breakfast sandwiches, bagels and coffee that hit the spot for me. I love the people that works there and I know them as well and I like seeing the usual customers and new ones as well. The wi-fi service is great as well just ask for the passcode and it's easy access. I like to sit there for a hour if I am watching YouTube videos or what not. A great spot to chill out. read more

Situated in a convenient location to the downtown area. Sonoma and Georgia Street. Looks like it used to be a gas station. Coffee here is as good as any other coffee place around. Seems pretty low key and friendly in here with lots of tables and seating for those that want to hang out. I usually stop here if I'm in the area on Saturday for the Farmer's Market on Georgia Street. read more
