I've seen this place a million times but never stopped in. Decided to try it on this quiet, foggy Sunday morning. Clean and well stocked. Loved the coffee roaster in the center of the space and the wall of roasted coffee beans. The menu was pretty extensive and everything smelled and looked delicious. The staff was prompt and friendly. Walked out with a giant iced coffee and a few pastries for the fam. Everything was delicious. Adding this to my list of weekend go-to/treat stops. read more

4++ Small cafe located in Benicia in an area where there are a few strip malls and eateries. This café does mostly breakfast and lunch. I think actually that's all they do. The folks here are very friendly and helpful. Came here for lunch and got a sandwich and a coffee. It was my first time in the person behind the camera was pretty helpful. The menu is more of a build your own sandwich type thing for lunch so I just picked a turkey on marble rye with a bunch of veggies. The space itself has a good amount of seating. There's also plenty of parking outside. It could get busy though. read more

Very friendly local coffee shop that roasts their own beans! They had a remodel a couple months ago and the place looks fantastic. The vibe is super chill, with locals stashed at their corner, but there's plenty more room for sitting. They get Noah's bagels for their bagels, and have some burritos made by a local vendor. The owner Sam is super chill, ask him about why it's called Rrags! OH and the reason why I come here so often other than because it's a local coffee shop and everyone should be supporting local businesses is that they are the ONLY spot in Benicia that makes a Vietnamese coffee fantastically. You won't regret it! read more

Interesting place. I stopped in last minute to get bagels for work. I didn't know it was easier for them. If you call ahead, I'll do that in the future. I got a dozen bagels, which was rather pricey. 23$at Noah's bagels, and they charged me 55. So much for planning. A cute little coffee shop. It looks like the regulars go in there and I'll come back for like a breakfast sandwich. I'll try it we'll see. It smells good in there and their menu was pretty large. I'll have to take more time to figure it out. I'm still curious about the $20 up charge. But they are not Noah as bagels but they sell Noah's bagels so I don't know if as a business if they get them at the discount and in charge the wholesale rate, I don't know. I realize everyone has to make money. I'm all for it. Hey make your money, honey, but a 20 to 30$ difference for me. That's huge .. by bad...I will plan better next time.. Will I try them? Yes, will I be back? Yes, just because it's a local place and I live right down the street. I'll do it on a Saturday morning whenever I have time just to kick back and take it all in. The young lady who helped me was very very nice and she cut everything in half and she gave me the individual little cream cheeses. So I'm not I'm not complaining. I'm just sharing so I definitely will be back because of how nice she was. read more

Rrags Caffe - Oh,6 209 AM open and ready to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Benicia, California

I'm a stickler for excellent customer service and the cashiers at Rrags get an A+! They offer a large variety of coffee, baked goods, and food items that can be enjoyed from breakfast to dinner. I tried the morning glory loaf and the caramel macchiato - both were delish. My daughter enjoyed the Lavendar Oatmilk Latte. I'm excited for the many other items we'll enjoy on our many other visits. The interior is aesthetically pleasing. I love the mailboxes that hold the coffee beans - very original. I like what Rrags has brewing! read more

Rrags Caffe is such a hidden gem! The coffee is rich and smooth, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the vibe is super cozy; which is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. You can really taste the care they put into every dish and drink. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The breakfast egg sandwich hit the spot, the lox bagel was chef's kiss, and don't even get me started on those apple & blueberry fritters!!! But I highly suggest coming as early as possible because they run out of pastries quick! I came back the next day for another blueberry fritters and it was all sold out! For drinks, I ordered their Royal Special Mocha and it was, like I said, rich and smooth! Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to again and again. read more

Cane after work and got an iced mango matcha and a raspberry tart. I liked the dessert, it was sweet and tart, which I loved. The mango matcha was something that the staff hasn't done before and I wish it had a little more mango syrup. The place was so cute and I loved the coffee wall. read more

This was a pleasant experience! I stopped by to get coffee and food after seeing this place pop up as a suggestion. I ordered a Lox bagel and iced black and white latte for myself, a breakfast sandwich for my Grandmother and an iced honey lavender oat latte for my sister. We loved our drinks; my latte "tasted like coffee" (and not sugar) and that was perfect. The Lox bagel was fresh and a bit burnt on the edges but nothing too bad or spectacular. I loved the various meat, bread and cheese options for the breakfast sandwich and got a bacon and pepper jack on wheat. My Grandmother liked it. The place was chill but definitely busy. The staff were patient and helpful as I looked the menu. The place was busy but clean and I was able to find a unoccupied table inside while I waited for my order. read more

Every now and then I get a craving for a bagel breakfast sandwich and that's when Rrags comes to mind! Service is always quick and the food is always so good. The breakfast sandwich is somewhat customizable so you can add toppings to your liking (based on what they have). FYI - the parking lot is small and usually fills up. However, street parking is always an option! read more

Went here early morning right after they opened for the day. I wanted to try their Vietnamese coffee and had lox on a bagel. I've had better Vietnamese coffee. The lox bagel was satisfactory. Staff and service was just so-so. Ambiance was down-to-earth with a no-frills vibe. read more

I came here to study a little with my boyfriend! It was a little rainy so I thought a hot honey and oat latte and toasted bagel with cream cheese was going to perfect for the cold weather. My boyfriend ordered a toasted Asiago bagel with jam and butter and an iced black and white mocha. I sadly received an iced honey oat latte but it's okay, I didn't mind too much so I just kept my drink. I tried the black and white mocha which was extremely sweet, opposite from the honey oat latte which just tasted like milk with espresso. On the other hand, the toasted bagels were delicious!! Perfectly toasted and was ready a couple minutes after I ordered. We sat in a corner of the cafe which was nice with having both the window and cozy interior of the cafe to look at when doing my assignment. All in all, not the best coffee but great bagels! read more

Rrags is great- Good selection of coffee at a reasonable price. Their breakfast is an underrated gem, and it's a warm, welcoming ambiance. It's a nice balance of people- never empty, but never so crowded that it's tough to find seating. Good stuff, check them out! read more

The degree to which they mess up my food is almost insulting. I used to eat at Rrags almost every day, but they've gradually gone downhill in both quality of food, and quality of service. It feels like none of the staff have been trained beyond the bare minimum, and even when the owner is there, my food is messed up. The tables are always filthy and there's almost always trash and coffee grounds all over the floor. There are boxes and cleaning equipment left out in random places, and some of the counters are super dusty. I've given this place so many second chances, and every single time they underwhelm and disappoint. If you want something prepared correctly, I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

Maybe they were having a bad day. ‍ Super slow. Only 2 people working when I got there, 2 more showed up in the 30 minutes I waited for my mediocre, at best, breakfast. They sure don't make the bagels there but they sell them, so they can take the scrutiny. I had an everything bagel that was certainly missing something. Every ingredient in the breakfast sandwich taste like it was made with the 2nd cheapest item from the catalog. The lox bagel was lacking on all levels. The coffee was decent. Gonna take a while to give this place another chance. read more

Slooow! The food is average, coffee okay but waiting 15m for a beagle is about 10m too long. They don't even put the spread on in that time. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but I ended up feeling pretty neutral about it. The Vietnamese coffee was okay. I've definitely had better elsewhere. The sandwich was also fine, but nothing to rave about. Overall, Rrags was just alright for me. read more

Homey little coffee shop, i got a toasted jalapeno bagel and the blueberry walnut smoothie. Both very yum! I just wish they had more options for smoothies, the blue berry walnut was the only fresh fruit smoothie they had while the rest of the smoothies (mango, strawberry etc.) were syrup based per the gal working the register. read more

Nice local coffee shop. They have a variety of whole bean coffee for sale. They may roast their own beans but I'm not 100% sure. They get their bagels from Noah. read more

Rrags Caffe - Americano and Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Benicia, California

So much potential but a bit of a disappointment. The decor is kinda nice but it could use some help. The big machine in the middle is cool and all, but it's pretty misplaced and ultimately diminished the ambiance as cleaning products, including a toilet brush, are occasionally left on display. Skip the food. It's all overpriced and packaged from somewhere else. The drinks are good though. Our favorites are the frappucinos and smoothies. Service is always friendly, but a little slow. read more

Every time I've come here, they've either burnt my coffee or the coffee just tasted off. However, their lox croissants.. worthy of the 4 stars! They're always friendly and I appreciate them opening super early, and on top of that, accepting pick up orders. They seem to have regular customers and enough open seating to accommodate everyone. read more

Due to popularity it can take a few minutes to get your food, but it is well worth the wait! Bakery goods are fantastic as well.

Hi there went there for the first time this morning loved it going back soon there friendly and a cute place my cousins go there a lot and they support this business so I'm about the due the same thank Susan read more

I haven't been in a couple years, was surprised to see the parking so empty... and after waiting 20 minutes for a bagel that was completed and just left on a counter... I see why. And to the little princess that smirked and spoke condescendingly... this world is getting tougher, it will eat you alive thankfully read more

Not a bad cup of coffee.. always cool to see a San Franciscan in the wild. This one right in the middle of the cafe lol. Coffee was pretty darn good read more

Excellent service-nice place for a good breakfast or lunch! And of course "the price is Right!

Stopped off on a drive from SF to Santa Barbara. Had great coffee and donuts. Lots of other food that looked great. So many of the customers were regulars, clearly a popular place with locals. read more

I have lived in Benicia for almost 10 years now and Rrags Caffe has always been a gem that I love visiting. From craft coffees to delicious sandwiches, Rrags Caffe will definitely offer a great start to your morning or provide a much needed afternoon pick me up! The service is always wonderful, with friendly staff greeting you upon entry and wishing you goodbye as you exit. The Caffe gives a vintage train station coffee spot vibe that invites you to stay for a while to catch up with friends, family or on personal matters such as work or reading a book. I can definitely see why this establishment has been around for many years, and I urge you to come visit if you're on the fence about it or making a quick pit stop in town! read more

Great place for coffee and morning sandwiches! Went here while staying in Benicia. Highly recommend if you were in the area.

Staff need to do a better job in answering the phone. Put me on hold for 10 minutes. Hung up and call again, didn't answer. Call back immediately and put me on hold again. It's either they don't answer or answer and forget about the person waiting on the phone. Young adults need to do a better job on the phone service. read more

Passed by the shop all the time, finally took time to try it out and was happy with I got. Ordered the Lox bagel sandwich. They ran out of plain bagels, I got it with the everything bagel. A little too much cream cheese for me but other than that I enjoyed it. I ordered a large honey oat latte. I was a bit disappointed with the price of it, i did not expect it to be that expensive unfortunately. But the drink was good thou just not sure if its worth over 7 bucks for it. Overall good place for breakfast! Would be happy to try out more from the menu read more

A Benicia institution! It's great to have an independent coffee shop that roasts its own beans and provide a real alternative to Starbucks. Staff is always helpful and welcoming Drinks range from ok to good depending on your order. The coffee itself is great, but would love to see some improved tea offerings Bagels are great but the rest of the food is only so so read more

Bagels here are absolutely delicious! They'd be even better if the cream cheese came spread on instead of in little containers, because it's always best when the bagel is hot and melty. The coffee is smooth, clean-tasting, and so good. The shop is cozy, though the seating layout is a bit limited and could be more comfortable. The real highlight is the customer service, which is warm, kind, and truly 5-star worthy! read more
