Lechon Kawali Bites w/spicy vinegar
Rachel M.

First time trying this place, the food was delicious, drinks were really good. Person taking our order was very friendly, patient and our order was out pretty quick. Didn't take photos of it, but we also ordered the popcorn chicken sinigang style w/dojo sauce on the side, pork chop katsu bento, both were super tasty!! We will be coming back for sure.

Stopped by here while my husband was shopping and had a hard time deciding what I wanted from the extensive menu! I finally narrowed it down to the black flame milk tea which is a black sugar milk tea with creme brulee on top. It was delicious! I was worried about not adjusting my sweetness but it actually was just right for me at the regular level. Next time I want to try a topping with my drink! I saw that some drinks come in cute jars and I'd love to order one of those next time. My husband's black sesame coffee was also delicious! Apparently the black sesame cream is made in house and it was a perfect ratio. My only downside about this spot was the size - there is nowhere to sit inside and it was so crowded just waiting for drinks in there too! But otherwise it's smart to have this takeout type place here in the Outlets so that you can grab your drink while you shop and walk around! Service was okay, there were about 5 people all working but still seemed like it was taking a while considering how many people were working. Also it would be nice if someone could just say "we'll be with you in a minute" since I stood there waiting in front of the register for a solid few minutes - and it can be confusing who is waiting to order or already ordered due to the size of the space.

Popcorn Chicken

I was just here yesterday night and that was my first time coming here. When you order drinks, you're allowed to make adjustments to the sweetness, which is what I did. I got a Taro smoothie with 50% sweetness. The jar that it came in is super cute. I also did get popcorn chicken with sweet chili. Overall, I would come back here again. The workers are very friendly too :)

Strawberry Matcha Latte

Hole in the wall Mom & Pop shop in Vacaville, run by a married couple inspired by their trip to Japan to provide authentic matcha and yummy treats back home. With ceremonial matcha sourced from a small town in Japan, fresh fruit syrups, and homemade recipes I have a lot of respect for this place. Since it was my first time here, they helped me choose which thing to order. We settled on the strawberry matcha to meet the best of both worlds for fruity/ refreshing & a slow-sip treat. I didn't get boba this time, but learned that it's made fresh daily! I would recommend stopping by to meet kind people, hear their story, and get a pick-me-up tea or snack! There's also a handy pick up window on the side of the shop (;

Cupid's arrow with fresh strawberry purée and boba! Yum!

Tea Dojo Vacaville (located next to West Elm Outlet) is hands down one of the coolest small businesses we've visited! The owners are such a humble and kind couple -- you can really feel the good vibes when you walk in. The onion rings are SO crunchy! The wings are juicy and flavorful. The chicken popcorn is a must -- sinigang is the best Salt & pepper has a nice kick, and the Dojo flavor is solid too. The lechon kawali with their shoyu sauce is sooo good (not pictured but we had it earlier). The drinks and food are bomb, and their boba is made fresh every single morning. Definitely worth checking out and supporting local!

Immediately upon entering the owner greeted me so kindly and was just such a ray of sunshine! She asked if it was my first time in and she helped walk me through the menu and pick out what would be exactly what I'd like! She made the yummiest strawberry matcha drink just to my liking and they use REAL whole Strawberries and blend them up right there which you don't see a lot. Such a yummy refreshing drink! Look no further for your boba and matcha needs! They also have a wide variety of food that all looked delish! I'll for sure be back soon :) Notable also- very clean and bright and tidy!

Had a family outing to get some boba on a rainy day. It was my family's first time going here. We had great customer service. The guy ringing us out asked if there was anything else we wanted to add to our drinks and my little one said extra love... when we received our drinks they put the cutest note with extra love, and my little one was so excited by it! Thank you to those working on Saturday! You made her feel so special! Can't wait to go back.

Obsessed with their new sinigang aioli! Perfect for anyone who loves tangy, sour dips like me. It pairs so well with their crispy bites. The cute jars/cups are such a fun touch too! Their drinks are really good, and I love that you can customize sweetness and toppings, mine turned out great exactly how I like it. Definitely coming back.

Strawberry Matcha Latte

Guys this place is sooo great!! From the drinks to the staff are so wonderful!!! I recently moved from the bay and I've been having a hard time finding a good spot for drinks, until I found this place and oh my lord drinks are delicious!!! And the prices aren't bad at all!! You 100% get ur moneys worth in this place! And the whole place is such a cute ambiance!! Very cute and clean!

Owner was super nice, popcorn chicken was yummy, and we loved the milk teas with boba. I had the cherry blossom lychee one. Best milk tea in town!

Chicken "Chick"-charron, Dirty Matcha Latte, Ceremonial Matcha Latte, Popcorn Chicken Dojo style,
Elaine K.

I have one thing to say about Tea Dojo As we say back in Hawaii, " Broke Da Mouth" onolicious. Oh my gosh so so so good. The fried chicken skin which the call "Chick-Charon" was so crispy and not one bit oily. So light and it comes with vinegar sauce. I could talk all day about their amazing Popcorn Chicken. The best tasting Popcorn Chicken on the planet. This is Dojo Style. The ONLY way to order this. So flavorful. Trust me on this recommendation...you won't be disappointed. The drinks are so fresh and tasty. Im telling you people, you have to come and try Tea Dojo for yourself. The ladies were very friendly helpful as it was our first time there since moving to Cali. I initially was going to order my own popcorn chicken, but she suggested that we just go with the one order that my daughter ordered because it is a lot of chicken and I go ahead and order the chicken-Charon. She was right, it was a lot of chicken. The drinks like I said are light and flavorful. I always opt for coconut milk or almond milk in my drinks, but this time I decided to go with coconut milk and it really gave it a refreshing twist. It comes in the cutest cups that we didn't know we would be receiving our beverages in. That was a PLUS UP! The place is built big enough to order and prepare of food and beverages. Very clean and organized. But if you plan on going shopping in the shopping center then take it to your car to enjoy which we did. This restaurant is located next door to West Elm. Mahalo Plenty ladies for the great service and the onolicious food. Two Shakas on this review

got a strawberry matcha and they had these super cute cups!! the drink was good, would come again if in the area!

Mango Matcha Latte & Strawberry Matcha Latte

Back with an update two years later... Tea Dojo Cafe is under new ownership and wow! The owners, Michelle and John (or Jon, sorry!) have made delicious changes to Tea Dojo Cafe! They kept a lot of the first owner's menu but added a lot more food and a few changes to the drink recipes. One change is using Ceremonial Matcha instead of Traditional Matcha, and trust me, the quality of Matcha they use tastes pretty top notch! Some food I def rec trying are their Curry Chicken Popcorn Bento, Savory Soy Wings, Chick-charron, Tater Tots Dojo Style. Everything the prepare is made in house. Their Calamari is fresh and hand-cut by Michelle herself! And you can taste the quality of their calamari, too! It's so yummy; esp with the sweet chili sauce! The Savory Soy Wings is similar to a Soy flavored Korean Fried Chicken. It's crisp and marinated perfectly. This one is probably # 1 for me! For the drinks, I really enjoyed the Matcha Strawberry Latte! The strawberry puree they use, in any of their strawberry drinks, is also made in-house! To order, they have an ordering kiosk which is user friendly and pretty straight forward. Or you can order through a human. They also have a pick up window after placing your order because there are no seats or tables inside Tea Dojo Cafe. Staff was friendly and we got our food/ drinks in a timely matter. It was really nice being able to chat with the owners, too! I'm really happy to see the changes at Tea Dojo Cafe, because Vacaville Premium Outlets needs a good boba tea snack place. Excited to see the new growth of Tea Dojo Cafe!

Yelpers tend to be brutally honest on reviews, and California is kinda cut-throat. The consistent outstanding reviews here gave me hope. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ordered a large latte $5.90 (comes with 2 shots), add a shot +$1, substitute almond milk +$0.50. Plus sales tax (not in Oregon). So $8 for a specialty latte. What really stood out to me; The latte is incredibly smooth and actually feels good to drink. The seating is open & airy, very welcoming and a great spot to just sit and relax. They have a self mirror with a wall sized mural (fun little spot). The also have some outdoor seating that was well attended this Sunday morning. The customer service is excellent, very friendly and super efficient. Best part for me... you slide your card and that's it?! No flipping the screen "with a question", nothing extra, no tip jar in sight. Just a quality product at a set price. I am absolutely fine paying a little bit more for such a high quality product, while supporting a local business. I highly recommend this local gem!! ~ 5-stars ~

I've been coming here for a decade and their quality has only improved. The cafe is now larger and…read morea little more modern but they still left a touch of the aviation theme that started their journey. There is now a Tesla Supercharger so navigate to that instead of the cafe so that your Tesla preconditions while you enjoy your morning. They no longer support their own app and have turned the keys over to Square to create an account to make it easier to pay and reorder. The ready times you get in the app are later than it's usually ready so I recommend giving them 10-20 minutes lead time. Here's my rating of the variety of foods and drinks I've tried. Undertow - 8 - Fun twist on a cortado as the half and half is cold and they add a splash of vanilla. The hot espresso is carefully floated on top of the milk so that when you drink you feel the cold "underflow" of vanilla milk. Cortado- 8 - Small but powerful sip of espresso. I prefer it with half and half and a touch of sugar over Journey's method but it is a tasty sip. Lavender Latte - -10 - the best version of a lavender latte you'll ever have. Cherry Blossom Latte - 9 - The cherry syrup is very forward but blends nicely into the latte which gives it light finish. The coffee does get a touch lost so add an extra shot. Citrus Cocoa Latte - 9 - The orange syrup is prevalent throughout the drink but the cocoa starts to stand up more the last half of the drink. I don't prefer chocolate drinks but this doesn't taste like a mocha at all. Very well done Journey!!! Veggie n Egg Breakfast Wrap - 7 - Light and flavorful but needs some pop from another ingredient. I recommend using the Tapatio hit sauce to elevate it above our 7 rating for those that want some pop of flavor and can handle spice. Breakfast Hand Pie - 6 - The pastry wasn't crispy but it did have some crispy seeds on it to save the texture, a bit gummy for my liking. The filling was also creamy with more cheese than needed (and I love cheese). Although good, I wouldn't get it again because the flavor of the filling fell flat. First Class Wrap - 10 - If you can handle spice, the chipotle sauce is amazing amidst the variety of ingredients. This is my go-to and everybody I introduce it to gets it as well. Every business partner I've introduced this right off the freeway coffee stop has loved and kept as their own. It's a no brainer if you're headed down I-80.

I think the experience largely depends on what you get and if you personally like it. Previously I had gotten two açaí bowls. The workers were very accommodating to my banana allergy. But something in the bowls had a taste that I wasn't a big fan of. Maybe it was the blue spirulina. But the servings were appropriate for the price. This time we got a mango colada lemonade, lilikoi toast, coconut and peanut butter toast, and a sunrise smoothie. I really liked my lilikoi toast! I would order that again. The sunrise smoothie was not sweet. If anything it has a bit of a salty note (maybe from the coconut water). The mango colada was very refreshing on a hot day. I wish the fruit they used was a little more ripe (bananas for toast and mango in lemonade) for more natural sweetness.

Because of this, you can expect there to be a reasonably long wait if there are a few orders in front of yours. Overall, I really enjoyed the mangonada. There were plenty of mango chunks scattered throughout the drink, and there was a good balance of spicy, savoriness, and sweetness. My favorite part was definitely the tamarind candy stick. On a hot day, I would not hesitate to stop by here to enjoy another mangonada. Credit cards are accepted.

For those of you looking for a vast array of fresh Latin juices, fruits, bowls, popsicles, and much…read moremore, "Fruity Mania" will have you covered. Located in the busy Vacaville Outlets and closest to Tommy Hilfiger and Kate Spade, this brick-and-mortar business has been in operation since the spring of 2022. It reminds me a lot of those Mexican fruit stand street vendors that sell various refreshing fruits and desserts on a warm summer day. The inside of this place is a little on the smaller side. I also wanted to point out that there is no interior seating but they do offer quite a bit of outdoor seating. Much of this is shared with the neighboring food trucks that operate during various business hours. Either way and especially on busy weekend days, it can fill up quickly. Finally, this business does not have any public restrooms but there are restrooms (operated by Vacaville Outlets) which is a quick 2-minute walk from here. I came here on two separate occasions during a 2-month stretch; the first visit was on Sunday 4/16/2023 (a 5-star experience) and the second visit was on Saturday 6/17/2023 (a 3-star experience). Both visits to me were entirely different in every way possible. The first visit I ended up ordering a large cup of mangos in a cup complete with Tajin sprinkled on it as well as freshly squeezed mango juice. During my most recent visit, I went again with the large cup of mangos in a cup. I don't know if the timing was off, but my first visit was SO much better. The employees that worked behind the counter; not to mention my cup of mangos were absolutely amazing and delicious. There has to be the right consistency, and these were the best I've eaten in a long time. However, the second visit leaves a lot to be desired. Not only was it busy but the employees seems very disoriented and not very friendly. I also wanted to add that the mangos were hard, not ripe, and lacked any real flavor. That's why it is hard to determine how any business operates unless you visit it on a regular basis. This goes for the food business where the freshness of fruits can definitely vary. Don't get me wrong, this place is definitely worth a visit; pricey but still very good. With that said and done, I am giving "Fruity Mania" an above average four-star rating.
