Hot chocolate

Cute little breakfast spot with really sweet service. The food was good and came out quickly. The donuts looked delicious, and the ambiance felt very homey and welcoming. Nice place to stop for a cozy breakfast!

Home made apple pie

The new dinners are amazing . Every thing is fresh and made from scratch including super yummy soups. The cheeseburger special is a fantastic value. I really think we need to support this local treasure!!

Breakfast DONE

Easy parking Easy seating- basically find a spot Fair diner atmosphere- a little upkeep for the shared items like menus would help and be appreciated I like the menu and honestly my hubby brought me breakfast from here last summer but yesterday was my first time eating in. It seems like a Vallejo staple, I believe I read since 1937. I definitely have an affinity for Nostalgic locations. I had a Jacks scramble with spinach and mushrooms, sourdough toast, and hash browns; one teen had French toast; other teen pancakes with sausage and eggs (she ate my hash browns). Filling food, nice service, and oh, CASH ONLY.

Nearly raw hash brown potatoes

This place used to be a gem in Vallejo but no longer. It is under new ownership and has really gone downhill. We went a few weeks ago and the place was not clean and in great need of a remodel. Seats were torn and dirty. The tables, and bar stools were also worn. The service is ok if you can get the servers on a good day. Ours was a little grumpy and seemed put out when we requested extra napkins, fresh cream for coffee, etc. Their cream is on the tables in an old fashioned silver server that sits on the table all morning so if you go for a late breakfast it has been sitting there for almost 4 hours and it didn't smell good. Their sugar is also kept in a very dirty used glass server with a flip lid that is always crusted over and doesn't look very clean. Our food came out cold and the hash brown potatoes were almost raw. (See photo) Another problem for us is that the place is "cash only". There is an ATM inside the restaurant and you are referred to it by the servers in a very grumpy manner if you even give them the slightest protest about not being able to use your credit card. I witnessed this happening about 3 times while we were there when someone tried to just come in for donuts at the counter. Also beware that this area has a lot of homeless and they sometimes hang out around the restaurant. High crime area so keep your valuables out of sight if you go. End of an era due to new ownership. We won't be back.

By surprise, there's excitement, laughter, and a vibrant atmosphere when you enter in. I was greeted by a waitress who directed me to my seat. Free parking was easy to find along the street. Good Day Cafe has a variety of breakfast options. I ordered the morning homestyle breakfast, which included sourdough toast, two eggs of my style choice, and hash browns. The pricing of the breakfast usually goes between $15-$22, which is not too bad for the service they are providing. The dish was warm and freshly made, and the hash brown portion was super generous. I wanted to stay a bit longer and enjoy another dish, but I already had the check which threw me off. I wish I had the check a bit later, and it made me feel a bit rushed. Nonetheless, they have a lot of fantastic breakfast options, and most importantly, a clean bathroom.

The food is really good. Granted part of this is nostalgia kicking in. They have a loyal customer base of long-term Vallejo residents that continue to pull up for a stack of pancakes. The staff really shine with their personality and dedication. Just wish it was a bit cleaner but its not a deal breaker in this case for me.

Joy of Eating has become one of my favorite breakfast spots in Vallejo. I've been coming here since…read moremoving to town about a year and a half ago, and with so many breakfast options around Vallejo, this is the place I keep returning to. The service is consistently excellent, especially from my favorite waitress, the lovely Linda. She is upbeat, welcoming, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Best of all, she keeps that coffee cup FULL--it never runs dry! Her warm, friendly service makes every visit feel personal and appreciated. Now, let's talk about the food. Joy of Eating serves some of the BEST country potatoes in town. I've tried plenty of breakfast spots throughout Vallejo, and these potatoes stand out: hot, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The omelets are beautifully prepared, the pancakes are delicious, and the coffee is always fresh and enjoyable. On my latest visit, I customized the Garden Omelet, which comes with spinach, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. I added turkey sausage and cheddar cheese, and the combination was excellent. I paired it with those incredible country potatoes and the homemade toast and that toast is absolutely OFF THE CHAIN! Add a little mixed berry jelly, and you have a breakfast worth coming back for. The atmosphere is peaceful, comfortable, and wonderfully down-home. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a full cup of coffee, savor a hearty meal, and start your day on the right note. I usually visit two or three times a month, primarily for breakfast. I've heard great things about their sandwiches and lunch selections, but breakfast keeps pulling me back. Whether you live in Vallejo or are visiting the area, Joy of Eating is a fantastic choice for a classic, satisfying breakfast with genuinely friendly service. I highly recommend it. And when you go, ask for Linda! Tell her Tamika from Poetry by the Cup sent you. Definitely one of Vallejo's breakfast gems!

'The Grind Cafe' is definitely worth a visit…read more CREW+ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was amazing! Perfect for brunch with your crew, the family, a date, or by yourself. Seriously, they have the PERFECT location. It is a nice, relaxing place fit for studying, chatting, or chilling. The crew that helped us were cool and nice. They were knowledgeable and accommodating. FOOD: My coffee was not extraordinary. I had a latte. By itself it wasn't anything to write home about. I went with my mom and she said the same thing about her coffee. Next time I'll get a mocha, or something adjacent, and see how I fancy that. I had a croissant hot link sandwich which was good, but I wish I asked for some type of spread to go on it. That would have made the sandwich a 10/10. If I was to be picky, I would wish for the croissant bread itself to be fluffier and flakier, but croissants are difficult (and delicious). I tried my mom's breakfast burrito. The potatoes in it needed more love. It wasn't super, but adequate. The absolute best item that I had during my time at 'The Grind Cafe' was the frozen lemonade!!! It was SHMACK! I mixed flavors -- I believe it was green apple and mango. I would go again simply for the frozen lemonade; a perfect treat for everyone. Overall, I suggest you to go and try 'The Grind Cafe'. It is 1000% worth a visit.
