    Super Breakfast Burrito
    Nelly R.

    I was craving a breakfast burrito. Not being from the area Yelp was my best. I found this cafe and I love it. It's so nice, clean, calm and easy to find parking. The customer service was A1. I was greeted the second I hit the door by a beautiful sweet young lady. The cafe has nice soulful music playing in the background as well. My breakfast burrito was a HIT 5/5 or 10/10. This is a great cafe to lounge chill and get some work done if you are in the area. Check it out. It's worth the trip. #Vibe

    Philly Cheese steak
    Breanah A.

    I love this Black Owned establishment. They believe in the Lord and have a church in Vallejo as well. Coffee is good but the food is FIRE! I had several things but the best thing was the Philly Cheese! Why does the coffee shop have a bomb Philly!? Plain and straight to the point but FIRE! Make sure you pull up!

    Hot link sandwich
    Schuyler J.

    I've been seeing and hearing about this place on social media, so after getting my nails done today, I decided it was finally time to try it. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the barista, who stopped what she was doing to come over and help me at the register. When I told her it was my first time there, she encouraged me to take my time because they have so many great options. I ended up choosing a caramel macchiato and, surprisingly, a hot link sandwich. Then I grabbed a table in their very cute seating area--total coffee shop vibes. A short time later, the barista brought out my drink and sandwich, and I was thoroughly impressed, especially with the hot link sandwich. It was made perfectly. My coffee actually tasted like coffee--not watered down like at some places. They've definitely gained a repeat customer. I'm more than happy to support this great Black-owned business!

    Toasted Tomato Sandwich

    Had Lovely Jury Duty and the Grind Cafe is right across the street. Very friendly staff, I was greeted as I came in. Plenty of seating inside, they play great music and it's really clean inside. Ordered a chai latte with oat milk and their toasted tomato sandwich. My chai was perfect with the right ratio of chai and milk. My sandwich was yummy, I really liked the pesto and garlic butter spread. Would def come back to try their jalapeño popper burrito. If I get chosen to serve another day of jury duty tomorrow, I'll be back here for lunch.

    Indoor decor at the grind

    Looking for the chill, vibey, spacious coffee shop where you could cuddle up on a date, cozy up with a book, or just take a nice food/bevy break from the ebb&flow of life -- then the Grind Cafe is where it's at. My fiancé and I have been exploring more spots in Vallejo and this one did not disappoint us. Folks were super friendly, the menu options endless, and plenty of indoor, electic seating. We love that this a black owned business, the food is on point, and they even hold events in their stage area -- super communal! We got a favorite of ours, breakfast burritos and it was so so good. The only downside about my order was the lemonade. It's not fresh squeezed or homemade; they use country time powder (saw it with my own eyes). Other than that I would return again for some more food and good ambiance. What's not to love?

    Bacon Breakfast Burrito

    Stopped for a breakfast burrito after a long flight from NY & wow what a delicious breakfast that was! The staff was friendly and the place itself is beautiful. Of course I had to try their coffee & it was a 10/10 experience

    Matcha Dubai Chocolate Latte
    margaret c.

    Always love an excuse to drop in here. Haven't visited since before the expansion. I walked in and saw a special for Biscoff Latte and Matcha Dubai Chocolate. I got the Dubai and stopped everything to post that IT TASTES JUST LIKE THE DUBAI CHOCOLATE CANDY, but well balanced with the coffee. I had mine with almond milk and it goes really well together. Don't miss this fun new drink or always lovely space.

    Omg!!! My coworkers told me about this location and I am so glad I decided to come. All I kept hearing about was the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. All I can say is, PERFECTION! The owner and her staff were top-notch professional. Personable and full of smiles. You can feel a peaceful vibe in the air. Not to mention the scriptures throughout the building, one being my favorite "THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH". I told the owner she will be getting all my money lol. I work around the corner so it's going to be hard not to come often. I also got a Chai tea and it was so delicious.

    Biscotti Frappuccino
    Letrisse W.

    The Grind Cafe in Vallejo is a hidden gem! They have the BEST biscotti frappuccino I've ever had--so delicious and perfectly made. The service is always warm and welcoming, and the people there are truly wonderful. Highly recommend!

    This is a cool place. They have people making fresh pastries that you are able to watch if you…read morechoose. The pastry selection is incredible!! There is a relaxing area in the back that you would not want to skip, at least check it out if you're here. The ambiance is amazing! The food is very tasty. I requested a sugar free syrup for my latte and they do not have any syrups. They make their own flavors. I ended up with a really light chocolate, so a mocha and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!! The service was great! The place is very clean.

    I heard so many great things about the One House Bakery, so I had to try it!…read more The store was cute and welcoming. I loved the outdoor seating. It offered some shade on a hot sunny day. The store was smaller than I expected. I got there after lunch and they were out of most of the breads. I got an almond croissant, the carrot cake, a yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting & the bread pudding to share. The almond croissant was mid, the carrot cake was dry, and so was the cupcake. I was highly disappointed. The bread pudding, however was delicious! It came with a delicious sauce, and the bread pudding had fruit in it. That may sound strange, but you have to try it! Overall, if you're in Benicia looking for fresh baked goods, good vibes, with no high expectations, stop by the One House Bakery.

    I'm writing another review because I just can't say enough about how wonderful David and Kat and…read moreeveryone at Hopulent are. The food is always delicious with a rotating seasonal menu. The best fries I've ever had anywhere. Fantastic drinks including an amazing bloody mary. Indoor and outdoor seating and a beautiful multilevel patio area. And the cleanest, most pristine bathroom I have ever seen, that bathroom is spotless. Kat remembers our kids names, even between long stretches where we haven't come in for dinner in a minute. David and Kat promised our daughter they would make her a special Very Berry Mac and Cheese for her birthday. Something off menu, made to order just for our 5 year old, and just asked us to call the day before so they could be sure to have the berries. She felt so special and loved by these wonderful people who went out of their way to be kind to a neighborhood kid. AND Kat surprised us with mini berry cupcakes at the end of the meal. This is service you don't get anywhere else. AND the food is the best in Vallejo. If you haven't gone there yet, you are missing out on a true hidden gem.

    Loved the outdoor seating! I was like enjoying the afternoon in someone's backyard…read more Food was fresh, made to order so it took some time. We had the Ban Mi, spicy chicken sandwich, fish & chips & the Jalapeño & bacon mac n cheese. Mac n cheese was FAB! Chicken sando was two thumbs up. The other two were good but really not worth mentioning. Service by the lady who worked the register was great! The gal who brought out our food was meh. I guess we were really turned off when we asked for extra napkins and she said something to the effect of "if I have time, I'm really busy and there are other people I have to help!" Well, excuse us! She did come down with a very small handful of paper towels. Meh. If I were in the area again, I'd go back but it's probably not a place I'd need to visit again.
