    Dragonberry Calamansi Cooler
    Amanda T.

    I gave a 1 star because the halo halo was good. The place was inside seafood city (where all the goodies are!) but it was in a sketchy area but gave it a try anyways. The service was horrible and there were 3 guys working but didn't even wanna hand a togo order to people that were standing there since before we walked in it still took a minute for them to get help! We waited forever for someone to take our order as well. They also dropped a strainer behind a counter and picked it up and rinsed it..not washed...rinsed and continued to scoop the caramel out for my daughter's drink. It was pretty gross and felt like a waste of money. We didn't even finish the tea and the pop-tart was dry. Not to mention the bathrooms were gross and had pee all over the floor...We will skip this place next time.

    Halo Halo. It's Tagalog for Hello Hello my Friend

    Come here on Sunday afternoon 5:00pm. I hope you come with someone or by yourself that's OK too. Order the Halo Halo. Then head to the table area. It's often empty about this time and can be kind of lonely. As that feeling comes creeping in, start eating this Halo Halo. There something special about Halo Halo. Filipinos are a happy group of folks and you can feel a part of that joy in this weird concoction of a hundred ingredients. Enjoy your Halo Halo, it feels good, you'll start to recall something recent that made you smile or laugh, or a loving moment with your Mom that made you tear because you miss her. That's a real feeling. You're not hollow hollow inside, you're...

    First time trying this place & we got their ube halo halo. The halo halo was really good, but I wish they would've added more of the original halo halo ingredients. This place is located inside Island Pacific. Overall, good dessert place to for on the go unless you'd enjoy eating inside the market.

    Friendly dessert run! Cafe 86 is located inside seafood city market as a large stand in the lobby, and it offers a ton of fruit teas, milk teas, blended lattes, and desserts! The barista was exceptionally sweet and kind, giving us time to look at the menu and giving us his recommendations!

    Service here was fast and friendly. When I approached the counter, I was greeted with a smile and told that it would be a few minutes before someone could take my order. I didn't mind as I wanted to check out the menu. I decided on the House Milk tea and the Rose Green Tea with boba at 100% sweetness. The boba was perfectly squishy while not being overly sweet. Both drinks were pleasant, but I preferred the Rose Green tea because the flavor was subtle and refreshing. There are many boba places in the city, but I chose this place because it's no nonsense and not a chain. Plus the drinks taste like they actually have tea in them and the flavor isn't muted like drinks from Quickly. It was nice that this location is in Seafood City because I was able to sip while I shopping. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area.

    Located inside of Seafood City. I usually order their halo halo and their Ube crack cheesecakes. Everything that we've ordered was so good. Staff are friendly and the times we've ordered waiting to pick it up didn't take that long. I find myself frequenting this place during the summer season because of their halo halo. It is not your boring halo halo...their halo halo is so rich and packed with all toppings and having the Ube Ice cream and flan just rounds out the goodness especially during the hot summer months.

    Ube Monster Milkshake
    herald h.

    Went specifically to try all the different Ube creations. The monster milkshake was very good because it has the magnolia ice cream as the base and I love magnolia ube ice cream. Add some Oreos with it and you have a winner. For the desserts, I did feel some of them were lacking in ube flavor. The poptart, bar, and brownie had some flavor but to me could've been sweeter and richer. The cupcake however was full of flavor and sweetness. That was definitely the best out of the bunch. Overall, this place is a 4/5. It's nice to see the different Ube creations, but I guess with quantity comes the quality.

    Perfect Ube taste on your first bite, not too sweet. The added Oreo cookie crumbs will n the top and bottom makes it even more yummier. Perfect on a hot day like today. Very friendly staff, great service.

    Been here 5 times now they never fail!! I always got Halo, next time I'm going to try the mango peach Tea I heard that was really good!! Their ube Cakes or leches are always good to get to snack on. Whenever I go there we're always greeted with a great smile and ready to get our orders!! Love the way it shows all what they have and promoting on the way with banners!

    Wow!! I am always looking for a great halo halo place. I think I have found one of the best that I've had in the Bay Area!! Ube ice cream on top was amazing!! Great serving! I couldn't even finish it myself as much as I love my halo halo!! Service was great, smiles and offering excellent advice on what to order and can change it up to make it perfect for me. Inside Seafood city behind Grill City. Perfect location, plenty of seating. I'm definitely coming back for more!

    Service is excellent; staff is always cheerful. The drink level of sweetness is just right, I ordered the milk tea. It is very affordable.

    Located inside Seafood City directly behind the Grill City area. Even though it was cold and rainy I wanted to try their halo halo. They were out of flan so give me a 10% discount. $9 for a large halo halo is a pretty good deal. Halo halo was tasty as it should be and thankfully not too sweet. I also got an ube butter bar which I inhaled and forgot to take a picture. Place is clean and service was fast. A great place to have a treat after shopping.

    Can't believe we have a Cafe 86 in Vallejo! Used to only be able get this when we were down in San Diego. So happy to have them here! They're located inside of Seafood City and operate on the opposite side of Grill City. Tons of different drink options on the menu, including a bunch of ube flavored ones, plus ube flavored baked goods that you can find in a mini display case on their counter. Although our purchase wasn't ube forward at all, we still got some really yummy things to try! Calamansi juice (5/5) - perfect beverage, especially during hot weather months! Wasn't too sweet, which I loved! Literally tasted like childhood. Exactly how I would make it at home. Sea Salt Coffee (4/5) - my husband is a literal fiend for a sea salt coffee, and this one was good!! Turon Pop Tart (4.5/5) - oh my GOODNESS. If you try any of their baked goods, this is a MUST. Their service was great. The employee who rung us up was super sweet and answered all of our questions. And our drinks came out super fast, maybe within 5-6 minutes of us ordering. Great experience, and can't wait to come back soon!

    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.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.
