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! read more

Was summoned for jury duty but ended up not being needed. Walked out and saw this cafe across the street and had to try it! I loveeee anything matcha, so I had to get the Dubai Chocolate Matcha Latte. It's definitely delicious and kinda tastes like dessert, but just a little too sweet for my liking. Overall 9/10. I'd still recommend it if you're craving something more chocolate-y than strawberry. Baristas were friendly and greeted me when I walked in. Minimal interaction since they were busy attending to others, and I used the kiosk to order. Heard this spot is Black-owned as well. Go support ya local cafes!!!! read more

The Grind Cafe - Dubai Chocolate Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vallejo, California

We wanted so bad to like this place but sadly it was not to be. NO acknowledgement/greetings from staff when we first entered the restaurant, to not knowing what or how to order from a menu that's tucked way in the corner. The 2 stars is only for the ambiance, especially the Gospel music. The missing 3 Stars are for Slow Service, just ok taste of bagels/ drink/seas moss tasted old plus lack luster menu offerings. Also a bit overpriced @ $38 for 3 items. My wifes input was "I dont mind the price but they were slower then Mollassis on a Sunday." Well just like our Savior, im for redemption and will try them out again. I want local folks/ mom and pop joints to get my business. Just my honest opinion from this morning. read more

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 read more

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! read more

I was wanting to give this place a try. I wanted something quick and easy. I ordered the breakfast super burrito which had bacon,sausage LOTS OF potatoes egg and possibly cheese? The amount of protein could have been a little more to fit the price. It was about $17. Being born and raised I do support local businesses and wish the grind well. But I'm sorry it didn't work out for me. read more

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. read more

Heard really good things about this place but was kind of disappointed. I wouldn't say the workers were super friendly, just regular service. As for the food and drink, i got the breakfast burrito and a vanilla late. Burrito was not my style of liking, and the coffee lacked flavor. I won't be back. read more

I love this place. I heard about this cafe a while ago but last week was my first time trying it out. Now, it is a weekly stop. The waffle was and this egg sandwich I'm eating is good. The customer service is amazing and the ambiance is great! Try this cafe out, you won't regret it read more

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? read more

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. read more

We randomly chose this place while waiting for my car to be serviced at the Tesla service center. Overall, we really liked this place, and would encourage you to try it too. I'd totally be back to hang out and get some work done if I am in the area again. A very pleasant interior, fast WiFi, yummy food (the breakfast burritos are excellent, as mentioned in other reviews), and friendly and fast service are the highlights. My BF said his iced coffee was great. My latte was less great - I don't want to say it was bad, but not good enough to give five stars, I'm sorry. read more

Hot link burrito is on point! Quick and friendly service. I would recommend for anyone in vallejo who needs a quick breakfast fix without settling for a drive thru mediocre sandwich read more

This is a great locally-owned cafe. I've purchased a few different drinks for myself, and for my stepmother. All have been delicious. Her favorites have been their caramel creme brulee, and one of their mochas specials (I don't remember which one but they've all been good). My favorite so far is the horchata coffee with light milk (plant-based). I've also ordered a few different breakfast sandwiches for my stepmom and she's loved them. The portions were pretty big, each time I've gotten her something she's had leftovers to enjoy later. I definitely do plan to try a few items on their menu, I'll update my review once I do. One note: they have vegan options so keep them in mind if you're looking for something plant-based to eat in Vallejo. There is a kiosk when you enter that you can use to order, or you can order with the barista. You can also order ahead online if you're in a time crunch. The customer service I've received has been great. There was a visit where they were out of something that the system allowed me to order. They were super apologetic about it and they offered me a refund or the opportunity to try something else in its place. The pricing is higher than some of the local competitors but so is the service and quality. read more

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.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my sliders and got free cookie read more

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! read more

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. read more

Call me a sucker for a cute coffee shop, and The Grind Cafe checks nearly ticks all the boxes. First, the positives... and there are plenty. Our drinks were delicious and came in generous portions for a medium. (I'm looking at you, Grande.) There were also plenty of comfortable seats, perfect for settling in with a good book. Second, I noticed a steady flow of people coming and going with styrofoam takeout boxes, which is always a good sign. Clearly, the food is worth coming back for. I didn't try any on this visit, but it's on my list for next time. Third, the Bible scriptures posted on the walls gave the space a warm and intentional vibe. I saw they even host church services on Sundays, which made me smile. Now for the one downside, and it really has nothing to do with the cafe itself. The location isn't in the safest part of Vallejo, and while I love this town, I'm also aware that I need to stay cautious and aware of my surroundings when I'm in this area. That said, the atmosphere, the drinks, the potential for great food, and the heart behind this place definitely won me over. I'll definitely be back! read more

First timer and a 35 min wait time for a Super Breakfast Burrito is crazy.

There was a cool book club group hanging out. read more

I'm a fair Yelper. I've decided the upgrade my review to 3.5 stars mainly because the food and coffee are so very good. The waffles are absolute clouds of perfection and the coffee is so hot that it warms my body and soul. Today I came in with my family. We ordered two sausage waffle sandwiches, a waffle plate, a small hot lavender white mocha, and a medium chai latte hot. The coffee and tea came out surprisingly quick compared to my last experience. Normally, I take a pass on chai drinks, but this chai made me regret not ordering a large! The warmth of the spices and creaminess of the tea were nicely complimented by the temperature of the drink. I believe that tea should touch your heart and soul to the point where your entire day is brightened, and that's exactly what this cup of chai did. The lavender white mocha will always be my favorite because the blend of the two flavors is unbeatable and it always hits the spot. The waffles and the waffle sandwiches were literally clouds of perfection. The waffles are thick, but light and served with maple syrup and whipped salted butter. The sausage was mildly spiced and went well with the sweetness of the waffle and the savoriness of the egg. I appreciate that they make the egg fresh and don't use frozen egg patties. The Grind has won a spot in my good graces and continue to be my favorite cafe. read more

I happened to be able to try this place while on jury duty. I ended up being on jury duty multiple days so I got to try breakfast and lunch here. The coffee is really good. They do regular coffee and fancy drinks. The Biscoff cookie latte was definitely worth trying. I had the jalapeño popper breakfast burrito and it was huge. Really delicious a little spicy definitely worth the money. I also happen to get a sandwich here for lunch and it was actually really well-made. Basically I got a BLT and it was definitely worth the price. The service was very friendly and it has a very chill vibe inside. If I remember in the area, I would totally go back here if you're looking for a good place to eat while you're in the area I highly recommend. read more

Had lunch here during my lunch break from jury duty. It's conveniently located just across the street from the courthouse and County buildings. The jalapeño popper burrito was great! If you're a big fan of jalapeño poppers or jalapeño on nachos, the jalapeños definitely shine in this meal. The potatoes and bacon were an added bonus. I ended up eating only half of my burrito since the half was already so filling. The salsa it comes with is good too! Recommend if you're in the area and want something to eat without having to deal with re-parking your car if you're on jury duty. read more

First time here at The Grind Cafe. Parking is on the street, but not hard to find. And no need to pay. The vibes, the drinks, the food, and the outstanding service and hospitality is what will have me coming back! Ordered through a kiosk, but they also have staff to take your order -- I just have social anxiety. Overall, our order came out quick and HOT! Definitely try their croissant sandwich or their breakfast burrito, but don't miss out on their UBE LATTE! So glad that Yelp brought me here. read more

Not a great first experience. Came here when I had jury duty and ordered a latte and pastry before heading in. There was one person ahead of me and three people behind me when I finished my order. The lady ahead of me got her drink walked out to her and handed to her. I thought great, my drink will be brought out to me. Not the case, I see all three of the people after me get the their latte type drinks and walk out before I get mine. After 10 minutes I got up and they were just finishing warming my pastry. As for taste, latte was ok. Ordered a blueberry muffin warmed and it came out cold. read more

The staff were very nice! The inside was clean with lots of seating, which made it a comfortable place to hang out. The coffee was okay!

Love this place, locally owned as well as black owned, definitely a cute place for a quick bite and very simple and clean aesthetic. Felt like I was at a San Francisco cafe. The coffee was good I got the local fave "lavender mocha". Don't miss out on their food. Plus the staff were sweet clean and fast. read more

Y'all ever had a burrito so big that your rating changes with each bite? Welcome to The Grind. I happened upon this place while in Vallejo one random morning. I searched for breakfast spots and this name came popping up in the top 3 searches for me. Honestly, I was going to go elsewhere until I saw the picture of the menu and noticed the jalapeño popper breakfast burrito. Sold! I changed directions and as soon as I parked (without any issue) I was a little skeptical. First thing I noticed was how sparsely populated the area was with cars or people. Oh also that this spot is across from the court. Immediately I thought this was going to be comparable to hospital cafeteria food simply due to convenience. Walked up to a storefront that was hidden in plain sight. Upon entering, I noticed a little ramp making this place ADA accessible (bonus for inclusion, gender neutral restrooms too). Also noticed a stationary tablet used for ordering - may have been appreciated if it were busy but the friendly staff took my order at the counter. I ordered the jalapeño popper burrito despite the inflated price ($16 BEFORE tax) and a cafe au lait. I immediately regretted my order because once I paid I turned around a noticed some seasonal drinks advertised that sounded more appealing, sigh. I took several seats in their eclectic furniture until I decided on their dining table for 6 (could be nice if coming with a group or to work from a cafe with outlets). My food and drink were ready fairly quickly despite a constant online demand and patrons coming to pickup take out. The food... my cafe au lait was not anything special, but it was expected. The burrito, the star, didn't disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised with the size.more than anything I was glad that it weighed like it was worth the price tag. The bites that had that magical combination of jalapeño and cream cheese made me want to give this five stars. The bites without that combo, a 3. Ultimately I decided on a 4 because even though some bites were worth it, I don't know that I can bring myself to fully co-sign a $16 breakfast burrito. However, if I even find myself at the courthouse across the street, I'll stop by again and bite the bullet and think you should too - it's easily two meals. read more

Cute cafe with lots of seating. I was welcomed immediately and the staff were friendly. The cashier had trouble with my order. I ordered a medium hot caramel macchiato and a large iced white mocha and a vegan breakfast burrito as it seemed simpler to order than asking for extras in the potato burrito. I was given a small or medium iced white mocha instead of a large but I didn't print my receipt and they seemed to be busy with orders, it wasn't worth changing it. They were also out of straws at the time. It took about twenty minutes for my breakfast burrito to be made. It seemed to be a popular item as there were other patrons waiting for theirs burritos. It was a decent size burrito and while I picked out the vegan sausage, the few bits that I missed were tasty. read more

Overdue review-- the coffee here is delicious. I love the unique flavors. My favorites are the lavender white mocha and now the ube iced coffee. The ube iced coffee was so creamy... it didn't even taste like an iced coffee. The inside is adorable. I love what the owners did with the place. I went to grab a coffee but ended up staying at least an hour to enjoy my drink and relax. A Vallejo gem. Lastly, the service is amazing. Great people that are always welcoming.
