    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

    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
    Jan-marie V.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Breakfast Burrito cut in half!
    Maya R.

    The cashier was friendly and helpful recommending the Grind Sunrise and Banana Cream Freeze which were Amazing!!!!! We also had the Philly Cheeses team which was awesome. The roll was soft and buttery, meat, cheese, and veggie ratio was perfect. The breakfas burrito was a winner also. Our new go to breakfast spot!

    This place is super cozy and has delicious coffees, teas, and foods. You can order at a kiosk or at the counter. I love their hot matcha tea and croissant breakfast sandwiches. Yum! Lots of space to bring a laptop or book.

    Bacon, Egg, Cheese Croissant Breakfast Sandwich
    Angelica B.

    The Grind Cafe serves consistent coffee, great options. The breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and pastries are delicious!

    Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Brittany D.

    Went and tried their pulled pork sliders. Went there right before closing and got them to go. They were good and sweet but not too sweet. The meal said it came with chips, but I don't know if I was supposed to grab my own chips or they were going to give not chips, but I didn't get one. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my sliders and got free cookie

    Caramel Creme Brulee
    Carlyn C.

    Stumbled upon this place while staying in Vallejo for a local wedding. Since then, been here 3 times (2x online order pickup, 1x in person) and this is one the best casual, easy, breakfast places near Vallejo area. I really enjoy their bacon and egg croissant sandwich, toasted tomato provolone croissant, bagel pesto sandwich, or sometimes even just a croissant with pesto is delish. Great to eat when I see family in SF and need a quick pick me up! The interior is super cozy and nice for studying or sitting down! For coffee I like their fresh brewed coffee or the caramel cream brûlée for those with a sweet tooth! Everyone's friendly here when I've ordered in person / came to pick up my order in person, and can't wait to come back again when I'm in the area next! A cafe away from home for me!

The only thing that I did not like is cashier who seemed overcaffinated. She was very impatient and didn't answered questions asked. She truly wanted to get the order and get us out the way. That was disappointing because I have been wanting to go here for a while. Coffee drink was delicious and that Almond croissant was the absolute best. 100xbetter than Starbucks. It would be nice to feel welcomed and not rushed. I'll definitely return. I trust their overall consumer service standard is much better than what I experienced but I'll report back.

This would have easily been $60 in San Francisco, The latte art was a perfect heart and I can taste a perfectly pulled espresso shot. The nitro cold brew was fine with enough foam. I have a slightly different coffee taste palette so I won't deduct points based on my coffee note preference. The location is good with ample street parking and what looks to be a customer parking lot (I haven't confirmed). Fabrice did a nice job in selecting a historic Vallejo spot and bringing in French vibes. The coffee bar wall and mirror definitely looks like an original 1900's piece. The wood tables inside and the bistro chairs outside keep the modern cafe feel with a Parisian vibe. I'll definitely come back.

The atmosphere has become untidy, cluttered, Christmas trees out in June, and the outside patio was not clean. I had high hopes for this neighborhood small business, but unfortunately will not patron them again.

The place is gorgeous, relaxing, welcoming. They have a little shop close to the water, with a walk-up window or drive through (we walked up). Walking up to the counter, we couldnt get over the beauty of the scenery. Service was great btw, the young lady was patient and nice, answered the few questions we had. We ended up ordering a jumbo sized chocolate strawberry smoothie (with whipped cream). As i finished paying, kiddo wanted to walk off and sit at the bench, so he did. Few moments went by of us gawking at the scenery and just how awesome of a spot it was (we were really hoping the drink came out good because we wanted to come back), and then the drink was ready.... maaaaan, that smoothie was delicious. It tasted fresh, and rich- it wasnt overly sweet, and the strawberry tasted fresh. We definitely will be coming back to try their foods, different drinks, and just take in the scenery. Amazing experience.

We got their house chow mein waterlogged and very flavorless. Then we got The spicy wontons with some sort of mystery meat on the inside. We both spit up those because they were so disgusting huge waste of money. We were also informed that their food is very frozen when we asked for the orange chicken. Most of the food taste like it's been frozen. I'm the kind of person when I go to a restaurant I always eat my leftovers later. Nothing was worth keeping later cause it was all disgusting. We barely ate enough of the chow mein to make a satisfied because it was so gross. The female was snappy at everybody. The guy was fine. Their machine out front is horrible to use. It's frustrating and it keeps kicking you out of the item when you try to order.. It doesn't load fast enough so you can't see any of the images. It's absolutely terrible. Then to top it off when we tried to pay, it wouldn't let us it kept getting stuck over and over we had to actually ask them to ring us up through the register. Now for the Boba, we got the peppermint tea, which is fine and we got the taro milk tea, which is actually really really good. I would definitely come back for the drinks.
