The restaurant is in a convenient location. However, the food was just okay and the service wasn't very good. Had to wait too long for coffee refills. read more

One morning Chris and I decided to have breakfast. He decided to take me to Good Day Cafe. I've never ate at a restaurant in downtown Vallejo and I didn't know that this restaurant existed. I'm glad Chris took me here because I had a wonderful experience and I would definitely come back. The waiters and waitresses are very hospitable. I was very comfortable in the restaurant. I ordered the country biscuits and gravy with country potatoes and two sausage links. My meal was very delicious and fulfilling. There is nothing bad I could say about it. Chris ordered the Linguica with scrambled eggs and hash browns. I took a bite out of Chris' Linguica and it was really good. The waitress asked us if we wanted salsa to go with our potatoes and I said no, but Chris said yes. I should of said yes. The salsa went perfect with the potatoes. Overall, I thought Good Day Cafe was a great choice for breakfast. I know I'll be back in the near future. Also, if you decided to order some orange juice, I suggest that you order a large because a small is literally a small. read more

With so many great choices, at first it was difficult to decide, but the pancakes, hash browns, and eggs I finally chose were all delicious. LARGE portions make the (slightly higher) prices a good value. Very friendly service, too, particularly the cheerful owner who took good care of everyone. a great find tucked into downtown Vallejo - perfect for after the farmer's market! Good for families, too. read more

It's funny how something so very good fly under your radar for so long. Here it's been that I've lived in Vallejo for six hundred years or so, and never gone to the Good Day Cafe. Well, that oversight is now fixed. After reading good reviews here at Yelp!, my wife and I ventured down early one Saturday morning for breakfast. I usually order from the menu, and avoid daily specials, to avoid food that's like Chevrolets' continued selling of the current Impala. Talk about a car that needs to be retired. I mean really, seen a new Hyundai Genesis lately? Makes the Impala look really, really old. But! My bias against specials has expired, like the Impala's sell-by date. When our prompt and helpful waiter ran through the specials, he mentioned a "Pizza" Omelette. Hum. Curious combination of breakfast and dinner doing a mash-up. Intriguing. My wife ordered a more conventional egg-special, and I went for the Pizza Omelette with the house potatoes. Even before the food arrived, our crew was hitting their marks. Water arrived, coffee came and was re-filled shortly thereafter. And: Something other than the stalwart Tabasco Sauce on the table, a competing flavor. All good signs. While waiting for our meal, we enjoyed the great collection of historical photos of Vallejo on the table-tops and the walls. You can get a great sense of local history just by eating out; without the faux "we-are-you" decorations of chain restaurants. When the food arrived: large portions, and my potatoes were crispy per my request. Thank You! (Denny's will never get that idea right: Listen to the customer's request relating to their food) My Pizza Omelette was excellent: Pepperoni, Marinara Sauce, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Red Onion, and lots 'o melted Mozzarella. It was great. I plowed right into it, and still had leftovers to doggy bag home. Mixed with very good potatoes and that previously mentioned pepper hot sauce (Should've written that brand name down..!) and it was a great breakfast. After a really good meal, it was only a natural to stroll the Farmer's Market and score some fresh veggies for future cookings at home. So now my only question is for myself: What took you so long? Check out the Good Day Cafe. There's real people serving hot food promptly that was cooked to order. That's what they do! Well, too. read more

very comfortable and clean. pleasant wait staff, delicious food!

Though I've lived in the bay area much of my life, I had never really visited Vallejo. And by that I don't mean just driving through but "stopping by" and "walking" a bit of the town. Today I decided to pay such a visit. I found this restaurant through Yelp here which has good reviews, so I made it part of the visit besides also checking out the Saturday Farmer's Market and the museum. We (the two of us) ordered crab sandwich with sweet potato fries, and a biscuit and gravy with sausage patty and eggs. Both ordered were fresh, sumptuous and delicious. The waitress was friendly, helpful, and efficient. If I have to find anything negative about this place, it is the bathroom situation. For a restaurant of this size, it needs to have more than only one single toilet, unisex bathroom. It is totally inadequate and pretty much everyone has to wait for his/her turn. Otherwise, I can't say anything bad about this place really. Overall I am in agreement with all the good reviews and think it deserves all the praises. read more

Pricier than most of the standard breakfast fare that I'm used to going to but the service was lovely and the food was excellent and portions were pretty good. Perhaps too high for my taste but I have to say one of the better diner joints here in Vallejo. Probably might stop by again if I'm in the neighborhood if I'm looking for decent breakfast grub read more

I went there to have lunch with a friend. The service was very good the food was very fresh the Tori's Turkey sandwich is very healthy if you are working a diet program with a fresh bowl of fruit. My friend had the veggie burger, that looked very good. I would love to go the next time I am in the area. The waitress was very nice. read more

Had homemade corn beef hash for the first time, really delicious and awesome service.

Great place, great food and great service with a smile. Very kid friendly - they give toys out to kids after meal and they are serious toys - pleasant surprise. read more

This was such a wonderful and pleasant experience. Cindy was amazing and the Food was awesome. Everyone should have an opportunity to dine in a place like this at least once in their life. Great food, excellent service and a great warm homely environment!!!! read more

Great breakfast place. Fast and friendly service. I had the French toast, very tasty.

Great place... good vibes, pleasant staff and good food. They accommodated my veggie needs with no problem!

Sunday brunch on Mother's day. The place was really busy but the staff was friendly and seemed to be very organized. We had eggs, French toast, bacon, potatoes and a special bread pudding desert with Jack Daniels. The food was excellent. Service was superb even thought the place was packed. At the end there is a grab bag for the kids and a bag of cookies for Moms. Great brunch experience. read more

Atmosphere at 2pm was quite. We ordered the Big Ben Burger. The best burger in town! We also had the order of French Toast... this was lacking the true large sized (Texas style) Toast. They were thin, yet flavorful. Change this and you will definitely get a 5 star rating. Customer service was prompt and very nice. read more

Went here before a round of golfing at Mare Island. It's tasty and good value.

Our first visit. Great food, just the right portions for breakfast. The hot chocolate was reason enough to try this place out.

This is so far the best breakfast place I have ever been in the Vallejo area! Will make it our weekly place in the future! Food is absolutely Fantabulous! read more

I highly Recommend Good Day Cafe ! This is my wife and I favorite place for breakfast. Staff is supper friendly. Customer Service is Awesome and Service is fairly quick. However sometime this place is busy. If I may suggest Country Fried Steak ! read more

This is the most Amazing breakfast food I've ever had. I the strawberry waffle with an omelet called the "Jessica" absolutely Amazing. I couldn't stop eating before I knew it the omelet vanished. next up was the country potatoes.... need I say any more those were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Finally I made my way to the Belgian Waffle accompanied by strawberries and I believe to be home made whipped cream. it captured my heart and invaded my stomach with such bliss. the food was honestly amazing. but the customer service was far superior than any other restaurant I've ever encountered it's professional but you feel at home so welcoming to the point that you feel loved. I had the pleasure of meeting Cindy who is such a sweet heart. I'm honestly mad that I didn't have more cash on me to tip her more. simply the best experience yet to be had. read more

The first time I came in here I had an alright experience - it was a little before they closed and we enjoyed our lunch (I had the crab sandwich). Figured the next time we'd come in for breakfast... worst mistake. We came in around 10, our orders weren't taken til 10:30 (there were about 4 other tables and I counted 3 servers), I had the French toast while my sister had eggs and hash browns. First of all, the prices are ridiculously high for such basic breakfast items. And pretty much everything on the menu was pretty basic, nothing stood out as a must try. When we got the food, there was hair in the hash browns and the server didn't even bother discounting the meal. We should have just walked out of there (my sister wanted to). However, I am a server as well and I know these things happen and bad days can't always be avoided, so I try not to judge service too much because I know it's hard. But there was no class or manners. The food overall was good, but not worth the price. I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon aside from a sandwich to go (maybe). But there are much better places around town. read more

The food is good, if unremarkable, and the prices are OK. The coffee could be improved. Why can't you get a good cup of coffee at a breakfast joint? I wish they'd serve Moschetti coffee. read more

Great staff, good portions, poached egg kinda sucks, but all great other than that.

Cannot wait to eat here. Many of my friends have and shared nothing but positive experiences. Let you know more when I can.

Great food, big portions & friendly service! My sons & I were in town from Oregon visiting colleges & were ready for a big breakfast. No disappointments here! We look forward to visiting again!! read more

Went there for lunch today @1:30. We had a cheese burger/fries and a Tori Special turkey sandwich/fries, the fries are frozen then fried, turkey was processed. The bill was $30 and we drank iced tea. The condiment bottles were dirty and the Green Tabasco bottle was expired. Maybe Chef Robert Ervine should go in and teach them how to use fresh products, not frozen or processed. The MOD was having his lunch and disciplining a waitress @ tipping out on the floor, not good for customers to hear this. read more

A solid place for breakfast. The inside was very busy and loud, so I just grabbed a table outside and enjoyed myself.

I eat at the Good Day regularly. I have to say the service here is the BEST! I wish more places in Vallejo would model their customer service after the Good Day. The food is excellent and quick to your table. I highly recommend the Good Day Cafe with their excellent staff and food to anyone! read more

The front looks like a book store but the inside is very cozy and busy. The waitresses and waiters are extremely friendly and the food is so good. It is our favorite place for breakfast and lunch. The hot chocolate is my favorite and always makes my friends and family smile. Lots of whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. I love taking my out of town family here and showing off this wonderful little place. read more

AMAZING!!!! The customer service is amazing. It is home style cooking. The food does take some time however it was well worth the wait! Remy was splendid! I thank her for her hospitality and recommendations on our food choice read more

Fresh baked croissant was great, light and flaky! Had the Everything But the Kitchen Sink scramble, great mix of veggies and meat. They made a custom scramble with veggies and salmon, which was amazing! Perfectly attentive and cheery wait staff, wonderful atmosphere with just the right amount of hustle bustle. read more

Super expensive for what you get. Plan on spending $50 for lunch (sandwiches/fries and a cup of soup for 2).

Everything in this place is great: food, decoration, cleanliness and most of all, wonderful people taking care of you. They aren't regular waiters. Just fantastic read more

Breakfast served all day. Poached eggs were good, and the salsa had some nice kick to it. Asked for well done breakfast potatoes, came under cooked. read more

i had the best chicken from their and the restaurant atmosphere is very home feeling. the ladies at the cash register were so funny and kind to my family and i. i also enjoyed my take out food read more

First place I tried as a new Vallejo resident. Went for breakfast and sat down in a broken chair at a sticky table. Should have known to leave at that point. But I ordered breakfast, just scrambled eggs and bacon with juice and coffee. Bacon was greasy and tasted off, eggs tasted like rubber. My companion and I left without finishing our meal and will not be back. Still looking for a CLEAN restaurant in Vallejo with decent food. read more

Yay!!! Cindy is back! And that means all sorts of good things! There are going to be some "spiffing up" changes but most important is the loving, caring, warm and enthusiastic energy that is contagious when Cindy is present. I do not know of another restaurant where everyone can feel more welcome than at The Good Day Cafe. Cindy and her long time staff greet their visitors with a smile, a hearty welcome and often a hug. They make a point of learning the names of regulars and their food preferences. The food - breakfast or lunch- from opening to closing is yummy and they are very accommodating about substitutions ( which is especially nice for those of us either on a restricted diet or a "veggie head" like me ). We are so glad that you are back Cindy! Your TLC, your heart full of love and your beautiful face with its contagious smile and easy laugh make it not only a nourishing to the body experience but to the soul as well to come in to the GDC read more

Cindy - bring back the cucumber fresher! Whoever complained was an idiot!

First time. Very impressed. Excellent food. Fast service and kid friendly! My daughter received a free toy

Forget about the rest.good day café is crown jewel of vallejo. Food and service reflects extremely good food. It can only happen by rose and remey read more
