Love the beer selection and the adorable patio area in the back! You order and pay inside and then take a number and find a seat. The service was fairly quick considering how busy it was when we got there. read more

Right off the top it's Five stars for the friendly vibes you feel when entering. Give me 10 or 15 more establishments in Vallejo with the charm and down to earth feel of Hopulant and we'll have a rejuvenated Vallejo that has so much to offer but so little right now that actually delivers! Their speciality besides for the Hops from the tap is definitely their homemade Mac and Cheese. All a meal unto themselves. All at a price that makes you happy they seemed to have not gotten the memo about inflation!! We ordered the sloppy Joe and also the broccoli and tomato Mac n Cheese. They were a tad bit more on the dry side than I like, but it was at least an hour from when I picked them up until we ate them. So that may have contributed to the dryness. But, they were very very tasty. And very filling. One order is more than enough for two people. And I can't stress enough for the quality and taste. My new go to spot for Mac and cheese when I'm too lazy to make my own!! And my new go to place if I want to hook up with old friends over a beer or two. Nothing like a down home feel that is so hard to replicate!! read more

Fantastic selection of beer, fabulous service and delicious food! My new favorite place.

Food is excellent, beer is the bomb, customer service is top notch! I would highly recommend visiting this small family owned and run business. read more

Hopulent - Cafes Near Me - Vallejo, California

Love the Mac & cheese here ! My go to for good local & craft beers! Service is amazing , it's a cute little local spot.

I am so happy that we have a quaint little spot like this in Vallejo! The owners are super friendly, and accommodating! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kat, and she was so sweet. That evening, I tried the guava cider and my gosh was it delicious! In addition to the beer, I had their pesto mac & cheese! Woooowww! It was hella scrumptious! Please support this local business! COVID has surely made it difficult for any small-business owner to keep their doors open. I can assure you that this establishment will not disappoint! What's not to like about it? They're small, local, they support local breweries, and they follow CDC guidelines to make sure your tasting experience is the best it can be during these abnormal times! Check them out! I will for sure be coming back again! read more

Best restaurant in Vallejo. Everything is unique, gourmet, fresh and clean! Kat is absolutely AWESOME! Cool little outdoor area in the back.

This review is long overdue! This place is such a blessing for the downtown area and it's basically down the street from my place. The owner Kat is a bright and beautiful human being with the memory of an elephant! If you have a conversation with her she will remember your name. There was a small mix-up with my order (Door dashes fault, not theirs) but they went above and beyond to rectify it and threw in some free ciders for the wait. They really didn't have to because it wasn't that much of an inconvenience to me but Kat and her brother are such good people. I was so excited when I got my original Mac and cheese home. It was creamy, well seasoned and delicious. I was very happy with my choice. I've also gotten their glazed BBQ ribs! They were so tender and my only regret was that I didn't get more. I love supporting a local business and this one deserves every ounce of support from our community! read more

I just tried Dave's lemon grass pork bahn mi with the hopulent special sauce.....it was nothing short of amazing. Plus the service was excellent and the endless possibilities of brews,ciders, and ales was amazing. read more

Mac and cheese god is all I can say. Great place for a craft beer and private getaway. This place is not the place to get drunk but to have a few beers after work or when you want to be in a low key setting. Great food, beer and company from the owners. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Just go here! The mac-n-cheese is so beyond good. And everything else is, too. Get one for here and one to take home. Yes, it's worth the $$! Homemade and no skimping on anything! The sliders? Purr... I swear, you'll have a messy face and the biggest grin. The beer selection can't be beat. Lots of local stuff that's fun to try. The. You can grad and go from their fridge. Awesome! It's family run and they treat you like you're part of the crew, too. It is yet another gem in our fair city. Treat yourself and your pals, your sweetie or, hey, even your ma to some killer grub and a beer. Guaranteed a good time and happy belly. Don't wait; RUN. read more

Vegan bean burger and salad super tasty!! Would appreciate more drink options for kids such as lemonade and other non-carbonated drinks for those who don't like beer or sodas. Service is down to earth and friendly and the reason we keep coming back. read more

I never would've thought there would be a great place to have a beer and the best mac 'n cheese I've ever had right on Tennesee in Vallejo. Totally unassuming from the outside. But the back has a nice patio area, the beer selection is excellent. And did I mention the mac 'n cheese? read more

LOVE KAT AND DAVID!!! The food is amazing and the service if delivered with genuine care and kindness. I'm so happy this establishment is our local spot for yummy food and beer read more

This place was great! First off, I want to say, their small bites are far from small.....but delicious. For our "small" bites we had the onion rings, shrimp n' pups and Chili fries. My sister and I had the Meatball Sandwich and the marinara was delicious! I'm not a marinara fan but loved how fresh/subtle the flavor was. My two best friends had the Pulled Pork and Mac n' Cheese. The service was amazing and very friendly. We sat in the back on their deck and it had a great ambiance in the late evening. Food was so good we had no time to take a pic of it. read more

This is a Vallejo must . Family owned and operated Kat and David are a great brother sister duo! Bar food done right & Reasonable priced. super friendly staff. Ian was very helpful helping me to my seat he didn't treat me like a boomer. It's a great use of space with a cute outdoor area. Most importantly the beer selection is on point on draft and in cans (take home:) read more

This place is marvelous!! My family, including myself, are very picky. We all loved our lunch today! Hubby and I had meatball sandwiches and our son had the classic Mac and cheese. Our friends had the black bean burger which they said they enjoyed. The food looked beautiful when presented and tasted delicious! You can tell there is a lot of care in the kitchen. They have an incredible selection of beer to choose from as well. Highly recommend this little neighborhood place. read more

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. This is that spot! I'm local to Vallejo and I stalked this place waiting for it open in hopes that they carried Cider in addition to craft beer. I called one night to see if they were open and seating people; they had to open during COVID. I met Kat over the phone and she saved me a seat. We had an Avid cider and her brother/owner David made a Mac and cheese and Bah Mi that made me give thanks for taste buds. The food, the beer and cider selection, combined with the feeling of hanging at your friends house is undeniable. Do yourself a favor and hit this spot. You won't regret it. read more

I saw this on yelp and iv been wanting to try it since the reviews were pretty good. I finally went to meet up for a bumble date. The atmosphere was great and peaceful. We came at noon when they opened on a Sunday. The owner was really welcoming and friendly. I ordered a classic Mac and cheese with bacon. The presentation was so good I started eating it and forgot to take a photo. I don't really drink beer but I know alot of people who do that would appreciate the wide selection. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

We were driving through Vallejo and decided to stop by this highly rated taproom and we're so glad we did! Their beer selection is huge for what appeared to be a small space. The bartender was super sweet and funny and personable. The taproom in a house vibe reminds me of spots in Portland, OR. Plus they have a super cute back patio adorned with succulents. Highly recommend. Will definitely stop by if we're in the area again! read more

This is a cute little place. The main focus is a huge variety of beer. We loved that they have a small outdoor space. The food was really tasty and creative. And we hear the menu gets new additions on a regular basis. Clean and just a cool atmosphere. The only little thing was that we don't see each other too often and really wanted to catch up. The waitress/ owner is really outgoing and was really chatty during ordering and stopped at our table many times to talk which we were not really up for. Don't know if that always the case. It may be a plus for a lonely guy wanting a beer : ) Please try it and lets promote this new place so they can be here a long time. Website has good info about their history. read more

Hopulent is a great local restaurant with a wonderful rotating menu and beer selection. If you are looking for great local craft beer with delicious bites, you have to try Hopulent.

I just went to Hopulent yesterday. They have a small but taste menu as well as a good craft beer selection. It's better to call as their website is still in the works. read more

The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are great. Let's support local businesses!!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. I ordered their Bahn Wanna bi mi sandwich. Quite honestly it was one of the best versions of a Bahn Mi sandwich I've had since visiting Vietnam. The only difference was that it was in a soft Chiabatta bun. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right so it was still juicy. The condiments and veggies on it was excellent as well. Please give this place a try. Next time I'm ordering one of their specialty Mac and cheese offerings. read more

We loved this place! The patio space is clean with lots of neat places to sit inside and out. We both had different versions of their mac n cheese and they were divine - too salty or rich, perfectly crisped on the top! Their beer selection was pretty awesome too and my husband had a nice stout. Loved that it's family owned and good food that's not a chain that V-Town is infamous for. Definitely going back. read more

Ok today was my first time at this place. I had been craving mac and cheese and the didn't let me down.. the services was wonder.. The young lady (forgive me I forgot her name) she was friendly and invitin.. I will be back can't wait to ry everything on the menu, if it is as good as the Mac and cheese I have found a winner.. read more

Review for the food: Such a delicious Mac and cheese! I got large- the one with jalapeño and bacon. Good to eat as a dinner (ate half and was full) or share as a side. 5/5 for everyone who got it. Meatball sub was pretty good per the rest of the fam. Warm brownie desert- 5/5. Overall , pricey but the Mac and cheese is worth the visit. read more

Really good food, great beer selection, and incredibly kind owners. We absolutely love it here

Great beers, fun vibes, and super tasty food. This place is my home away from home. Kat and David are delightful and I always feel welcomed! read more

Driving through on our way to Sonoma and stumbled upon this place for food and beers. Great selection of local beers and very tasty food. Kat and staff were lovely. read more

I've been telling my husband for weeks about this new place around the corner from us that I found on Yelp but something always comes up to prevent us from going. Finally made it out this afternoon and I'm so glad we did. I love craft beer so to have a place nearby with such a huge selection is amazing. We ordered a meatball slider appetizer and a pulled pork with added bacon mac. There was a slight delay with the order but things happen and we were just enjoying being out for the first time in months. The patio is full of plants and was relaxing to hang out and enjoy a couple beers in. Kat handled everything amazingly and it was great chatting with her on everything that went in to opening this place. She's very knowledgeable on the beer as well. As a stout/porter fan I often find those options lacking at most places but I had plenty to pick from. And the food was way better than I expected. I've had a lot of mac n cheese from other places that lack flavor and cheese but this had amazing flavor and SO much cheese. The meatball sliders were great as well. One of my husbands favorite things is a meatball sandwich and he was very impressed. We will be back for sure! read more
