Bagel and lox
Sandy L.

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!

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.

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.

Iced Mocha with Soy

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!

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!

This is a really cute diner. Small and has character. The bagels are so fresh and taste like east coast bagels. Worth it!

I enjoy venturing out and finding new places but I love finding a gem of a coffee shop. My bestie…read morehas been recommending for me to check this spot out and I'm a bit upset that I put it on the back burner. But finally! Came on a Saturday morning, enjoyed the coffee and croissant, the historic home vibes and the chill seating. The remodel of the Officer Home is impressive. Love that porch! There's seating inside and a community/dining room table. There's plenty of hang out spots in the what seems to be backyard (grassy area). Very dog and children friendly. Lots of parking in the back and some in the front (if you're lucky to get one). Service is friendly. Plenty of options to try and some refrigerated drinks too! I'd love to come back and bring my pup. Definitely a place to visit over and over again!

So if you like strong coffee and you like to taste coffee even if you get a flavored latte, then this isn't the type of coffee you'd like. The setting is clean and quiet. The spot is unique because it's in a historical type of house that's located in Mare Island. When entering, you get a home feel because of the decor. Also, when drinking coffee there, they will serve it to you in regular coffee mugs which makes drinking it just a little more chill since it's not in a to go cup. You can sip and relax. The customer service is good. *For those of you looking for a place to stay longer with a laptop and phone, this isn't it. There are only a couple of available outlets.

Tucked inside Vallejo near their City Hall, this I could say is one of those perfect definitions of a "hidden gem"! We normally have to go to either Berkeley or Napa for this type of food. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted & seated by one of their servers. The lady didn't seem to look so happy at first but was actually nice towards the end. Would've been better though if she did have a smile on her face the moment we walked in. But oh well. A male server made up for it and was very pleasant from start to finish! The plates we had this first trip were all scrumptious! Churro Waffle plus chicken, Chicken and waffle and eggs Benedict of the day. The matcha latte I'm used to is actually sweet. The one I had from this place, Matcha Latte w/ Lavender syrup was not sweet at all! Could've been perfect if I was given a heads up or asked if I wanted to add sweetness to it. The sugars provided for my spouse's coffee were all sugar substitutes (Splenda, sweet N low). Not the kind I'd put in my cup. Would definitely be back for their churro waffle & chicken!

After that initial visit, I have brought family and friends here as well. Thiis s such a warm, cozy and welcoming place, good for community gatherings or just enjoying by your lonesome the quietly cool and comfortably casual vibe and relaxing covered or uncovered outdoor ambiance. Enjoy a live band playing relaxing music (I love chancing upon their new wave versions) while sipping free coffee chosen from their tastings coming from a wide variety of international flavors. Enjoy a crepe, a galette, or any other food from their menu. Staff ane service are friendly and welcoming. A great way to start one's Saturdays.

While there we saw they had breakfast items. I chose a savory crepe called a galette. It had chorizo and herbed cheese. Yummy! Then my husband wend in a got a lemon crepe. Also delicious. The young man behind the register suggested the chorizo crepe. Great choice! The young lady making these was very sweet and I had a nice conversation with her. There was two people playin music while we enjoyed the start of our day. Even if you are not a local, it's a place you must try if you are a coffee lover. Today's winner going home was their Sumatra. Oh and they will grind it for you.

The place is gorgeous, relaxing, welcoming. They have a little shop close to the water, with a walk-up window or drive through (we walked up). Walking up to the counter, we couldnt get over the beauty of the scenery. Service was great btw, the young lady was patient and nice, answered the few questions we had. We ended up ordering a jumbo sized chocolate strawberry smoothie (with whipped cream). As i finished paying, kiddo wanted to walk off and sit at the bench, so he did. Few moments went by of us gawking at the scenery and just how awesome of a spot it was (we were really hoping the drink came out good because we wanted to come back), and then the drink was ready.... maaaaan, that smoothie was delicious. It tasted fresh, and rich- it wasnt overly sweet, and the strawberry tasted fresh. We definitely will be coming back to try their foods, different drinks, and just take in the scenery. Amazing experience.
