    Chai latte
    Jennifer D.

    This is my new favorite cafe in Vacaville! I love their message and how cute is this cup?! It is a big place with ample room for people to come work, do homework or just chat! For a snack, I got their brownie macaroon which was a nice sweet treat!

    Veggie n' Egg Breakfast Wrap

    I've had Journey Coffee in Vacaville bookmarked for a while now, and it's conveniently located right off the freeway. Sadly, the coffee wasn't very strong at all. The wrap had way too much sauce for my preference. Service was fine. Although not terrible, I didn't order anything that stood out either. I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving it a try for themselves. It just wasn't what l had hoped it would be!

    I enjoyed visiting any of the Journey Coffee. Upon entry you walk into an area of mixed table areas and chairs near the windows. I was able to place my order with ease. It didn't take to long before it was ready which was great. Even though my Avocado toast had pickled onions and sprouts that I didn't ask for, I picked them off and ate the sandwich. Journey coffee offers a pleasant space to work, study or just hang out. Thanks all

    Matcha Latte
    Sandy L.

    Ordered a mint matcha latte and breakfast hand pie. They were out of the mint syrup so they gave me choices for alternatives. I went with the vanilla. They also have your choice of dairy alternatives. The vanilla matcha latte was delicious and cute latte art too! The hand pie was very filling. Very savory but a touch on the salty side. It was served wrapped in foil and warm. Service was friendly and quick. The ambiance/decor is industrial but trendy. Think dark metal and wood but still cozy. It looks like there is some construction so they no longer have the nice covered patio with large table on the side. But there is still outside seating along the sidewalk with bistro sets, string lights, and modern looking seating. It would be nice if they put in some shade cover for that. My partner ordered a plain coffee. For him it was a bit acidic. So your experience may vary based on what you order.

    Cute coffee/ brekky place in Vacaville where the staff were so welcoming and friendly! We stopped by while on the road and enjoyed some lattes & while we were ordering the non-vegan baked goods looked delicious so we randomly asked if by any chance they had vegan ones and they did. We were surprised by the blueberry muffin, it was so moist and so delicious & the cocoa latte my partner ordered was amazing. My lavender latte was okay, but regardless next time we're in the area we'll be stopping by.

    The shop is spacious and cozy. Lots of tables and comfortable seatings to enjoy the good coffee. I ordered a vanilla latte which was customized by the attentive server. He knew what he was talking about!

    Super chill vibes all around. The staff were really welcoming and easy to chat with, but still super efficient at what they do. I tried the matcha latte and loved it. Perfectly balanced between sweet and earthy. Can't wait to come back and try more, especially the food. Maybe I'll grab a few more pics next time lol.

    Haven't been here in many years, but it was a lot better than I remembered! It's an easy stop right off of the freeway if you're passing through. They had a seasonal menu available so we tried two of their seasonal drinks, and I hope they'll add them to the menu permanently! The cookies and cream latte has that aftertaste of Oreo cookies but you can still get the coffee flavor first and foremost. The minty matcha was delicious as a hot drink, and it was perfectly balanced between mint flavor and the earthy matcha! I was a bit nervous about the mint and matcha combo but it totally worked. This is a pretty spacious spot for a coffee shop too, plenty of tables and seating to go around.

    It's a very clean and happy place to visit. The snacks look amazing. I had ordered a coffee and sat inside to consume it. If I would have had more time in this area I would surely have visited again and had a coffee and treat. Coffee was wonderful. The staff are very nice and fun to be around. Over all for the first visit it was well worth it.

    Communication after ordering on the app

    I placed an order through the app and it was easy and convenient. I was headed to an event that morning and wanted coffee and food for the day. I ordered yogurt, a grown up grilled cheese and a breakfast hand pie. The prices are on the higher end but I rarely come to Journey. The food quality is excellent though. Their drinks are always good. The yogurt was delicious, the grilled cheese was good and the hand pie was bigger than my hand and very flavorful. I opted for curbside pick up but there weren't any designated spots. I decided to go in the store and pick up my items which were ready when I arrived. The store has plenty of parking, is spacious and the employees are always so friendly. I haven't been to their downtown location yet but definitely been to their other locations. Love them!

    Burnt  re heat quiche
    grace s.

    I was excited to try this place because of the good reviews. But I was really disappointed on everything. We ordered egg &sausage muffin which was just one notch from McDonald's. The quiche was burnt (attached the pic). Our orders were ready but never called our name. Mind you 6 people working that day. Coffee is meh nothing special. Waste of money!

    great place if you are looking for a cafe to study. plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. outlets available. i got the cookie butter latte and chocolate espresso scone. the scone was soft and not too sweet.

    BLT from Journey.  Horrible.

    Ask the Community - Journey Coffee

    Does Journey Coffee have decaf?

    Yes! Anything made with leaded coffee can be made with decaf

    Are the restrooms available for customers just doing take out?

    Yes, they are.

    I saw several reviews mentioning that there are few precautions being taken here to prevent the spread of covid19. Are employees required to wear masks and gloves? Guests? How are the tables managed and cleaned? Thx!

    Hi Julie all staff are required to wear masks. We are following all requirements for staffing and health and safety to prevent spreading of covid19. We are asking guest to wear mask. There is no indoor seating available. But we have social distance… Read more

    Hi guys! How stable is the WiFi here?

    Normally always a good connection

    Do they have oat milk?

    Yes we do

    Do they have heavy cream?

    Yes

    Do they still have a coffee happy hour with coffee mocktails?

    Not now but there should be some in the summer again.

    Do they offer any gluten free bread or wraps?

    Yes! They offer a gluten free wrap for the breakfast burrito!

    Is it like Starbucks?

    It's far BETTER than Starbucks. It's hard to compare a "corporate ran" business to a locally ran one. They roast their beans on site. Their coffee and other specialty drinks are in a different (much better) league than where Starbucks is.… Read more

It's definitely…read morea cozy spot -- the interior is pretty small with limited seating, and you order at the counter when you walk in. Luckily the weather was perfect the day we went, so we grabbed a table outside and it ended up being the ideal way to enjoy the meal. We started with a Cuban café with condensed milk, and it was incredible. The coffee was bold and rich like a good Cuban espresso should be, and the condensed milk added the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. It was smooth, strong, and honestly one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a while. For food, she ordered the chilaquiles and I ordered the ropa vieja plate, and we also added an order of papa rellenas to share. The chilaquiles were easily the star of the show. The chips were perfectly coated in sauce without being soggy, and the sauce itself had a really unique flavor compared to the traditional chilaquiles I'm used to. It had a deeper, richer taste with just the right balance of spice and tang. Every bite was packed with flavor and it felt like a really thoughtful twist on the dish. The ropa vieja was just as impressive. The shredded beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, clearly slow-cooked because it just fell apart with each bite. The seasoning was spot on -- savory, slightly tomatoey, and really comforting. It came with black beans and rice, and even though I'm usually not a big fan of black beans, these were excellent. They had a lot of flavor and a great texture, not watery or bland like they sometimes can be. The only thing that didn't quite land for me was the papa rellenas. They were well made, but I was expecting something with more of an empanada-like texture or a crispier outer bite. Instead, it was much more potato-forward, which made it a little heavier than I was hoping for. Service was amazing! Kind friendly staff Overall though, the food was flavorful, the coffee was amazing, and the relaxed outdoor seating made it a really enjoyable meal. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

    Great food, great service, clean and spacious seating, and lots of parking.
