“This place is hidden in the cuts but worth the drive for some good barbecue. From the freeway exit N/B 680 it's only one turn right turn a maybe a 2 minute drive. From S/B 680 it may be 5 minutes more if that. It's kind of hidden but there is a big sign you can't miss if you're looking. They have a small parking lot and take orders through the screen door. There is outside seating and tables if you choose to eat there. I placed my order after looking over the menu outside and my food was ready really quick. The 2 way combo was $25 which was understandable and reasonable for the portion sizes and inflation. My only gripe may be on what they consider potato salad which was more like a loaded baked potato. The flavor of the chicken and ribs were delicious. The ribs were tender and neither were burned or over cooked. I also like that they put the barbecue sauce in containers for you to add to your food as you like. The Mac and cheese was pretty good too but could have used a bit more seasoning to it. Otherwise I like this place and the staff are very nice as well. Oh yeah, they didn't have the lumpia that day“
“Good food. The younger girl spilled the smoothie all over the cup. Didn’t wipe it. And then tried to have me carry it. I almost ruined my outfit. I won’t be back for a while. Girl with the ponytail with highlights. Then they forget my raspberry bar. And when I TURN AROUND ALMOST 15 MINS AWAY TO GET IT, the young boy says “Did you forget your bar?” Like no. YOU guys forgot it. Never handed it to me. Nothing. They need to do better. Seriously.“
“It’s a small family business and they try hard. Everything is homemade and it’s made in the store before your eyes. we are thinking about a huge selection of pastry, some of them with some of them savory but all good. Free, huge parking lot, safe neighborhood.“
“We stayed in Vallejo back in September for our Napa trip and I am just now getting around to leaving all of my reviews. We stopped in here for a couple of beers and food after we arrived in Vallejo because we had an hour or so before we could check into our airbnb. It was nice because it ended up being just a couple of minutes from the airbnb! They had a very nice selection of beers to choose from. We ordered our drinks and food and then sat outside on the patio to get some sun. They had a lot of plants growing in planters all around, so it was pretty despite it only being a multi-level deck. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the beers even better. A lovely neighborhood spot for some drinks and snacks.“
“Excellent Bay Area specialty coffee with vegan food menu and enjoyable for anyone! The coffee menu had a handful of creative and tasteful signature drinks along with the classics. While in line I heard someone ask if the drinks were sweet and they kindly said “not St4rbux sweet” which is a green flag for sure to anyone who really knows coffee. They also offered that customer to make their drink less sweet if they were worried. I had my go-to iced americano to see how good their espresso shots taste since I was sure they were doing something right with so many other good reviews and my experience up to that point. The good vibes were there before I even ordered and that coffee hit too! The Avocado toast is on the fluffiest freshest bread with some sprinkled hemp seeds and chili flakes. I also opted for some chili oil and loved it! Super friendly service and a wait time that was indicative of the care they put into each order without having to wait too long! I wish I lived around here cause it seems like THE local community coffee spot I would be frequenting.“
“Great place for tapioca drinks! The blended/slushy honeydew with boba (which were tender) was flavorful. Their cinnamon roll was delicious AND the staff was friendly. We also got some lotto tickets since they also sold them (cash only). Would definitely come back again to try other drinks and snacks ??“
“Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy.The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.“
“Such a cute place for Boba. They also have bamboo straws and are now offering hot drinks (and desserts?). The inside tables are rarely full and they have a couple of smaller outside tables as well. There’s a bathroom and the background music isn't too loud or annoying.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“
“Wonderful place to go to. If you party all night and find yourself in the morning hungry, there's no better place to go. The beer selection is excellent, the staff is nice. Outside/inside seating, Large parking lot. Delicious zombies, my personal favorite is the hot link and breakfast zombies. One of my favorite spots in “
“This place is a hidden gem! It’s so cozy to come in and study or for work from home days. The food is delicious and there’s a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. The coffee never misses! I highly recommend this locally owned coffee spot (:“

The owner is so sweet and makes sure you leave happy and full! ?Wheelchair accessibility: I'm disabled and have no issues getting in and out.“
“I hate to say it but we order from this café often via DoorDash. To be honest, when it comes to a dirty chai latte, this café has it on lock! I will also say that, since they've changed l ownership, the food has improved dramatically! Keep up the great work!I haven't been in the location lately to see what the ambience is like but when I was there a couple of months ago it was very casual yet, cozy. This staff was inviting, although the area itself has his ups and downs.“

“I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk and a feta brioche. The coffee is a solid three stars. The beans they used were way too fruity for espresso.The feta brioche on the other hand was hella good. If this place was a pastry only bakery, it would be a solid five stars.I’m giving it 4 stars. Great pastries, mediocre coffee.“
“So, I was cruisin' around Concord, craving a caffeine fix. I typed in "closest coffee to me" and bam, this spot popped up, nestled between Peet's and Starbucks. Figured, why not give it a shot? It's in an office building, but don't let that fool ya—it's super easy to find and there's tons of parking. Inside, there's this trio running the show: two lovely ladies and one dude hustlin' hard. They've got breakfast and lunch options, and let me tell ya, I grabbed a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, and it hit the spot! Coffee? Decent enough for your regular joe. If you're around, swing by for sure!Parking: Parking is located directly next to the building.“
“Momo's Cafe in Vallejo is a gem! Despite being busy, the service is quick and friendly. But let's talk about the food--those seasoned potatoes are a game-changer! Perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection. And the portion sizes? Generous doesn't even begin to describe it! Whether you're craving breakfast or lunch, Momo's Cafe is the place to go for a satisfying meal that won't disappoint. Five stars all the way!“
“The bread is to die for (no pun intended), and the cheese is nice and gooey. We were able to get helped even though some of the buns got too melted, they made it work for us. Also, there's plenty of seating and relaxing music. P.S. get the combo deal, chips and a drink for only 2.50“
“Solid place for a bite near Pleasant Hill BART station. I visited earlier this afternoon just before they closed at 3. Today was one of those back-to-back meeting days, and I had to work through lunch, so I was very hungry. I needed a bite before meeting colleagues for drinks and appetizers later in the afternoon. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad ($10). Service was friendly and prompt - I appreciate that they pulled out a fresh salad bag for me even though it was just minutes before they closed. I took the salad to go, and enjoyed it to the last delicious morsel. Will be back!“
“I got the club sandwich and it was surprisingly really good! The waitress also suggested a cup of peaches, i had no idea i wanted that and it was good as well. Sadly i wanted the french dip or the American dip but they were out of french rolls but that just means i can come back and enjoy it another time. Cool American diner.“
“I've loved Joy of Eating for as long as I can remember....over 35 years....Moved out of state 7 years ago and on my last quick trip back to vallejo, our first stop as soon as we drove into town was Joy of Eating...Just as I remembered it! Food was delivered quick and was delicious...THE BREAD...I MISS IT SO MUCH....it is Soooo good!The server said the buildings on the whole block had recently been purchased.....I fear the new owners will be tearing it done....but I hope not.“
“The prime rib Holiday meal was excellent. Chef has catered to Rossmoor residents in the past for different holidays. It is always excellent. I wanted a nice dinner for my visiting family members and since I can no longer put out a good meal for them Chef Michael does it for me. Several courses all delicious! Thank you for making my entertaining so special.“

“Sooooo, this is my new go to for a quick lunch! It's about a 5 min walk from my office so naturally I had to get it. I was swooned too because they had a breakfast burrito and I'm a sucker for those. It's nothing fancy, tortilla, egg, cheese and bacon. Sometimes that's all you really need. It was also pipping hot when I held it and bit into it so you know it's fresh. Not oily either. Will be coming here for lunch now when I'm in a pinch.“
“Best bakery in the East Bay. We found this because it's close to our swim academy and I have ordered their mini cupcakes for my kids' birthday parties for the past few years from this business. If you pay cash you can avoid their extra fee. Delicious baked goods and cupcakes. Their cinnamon sugar loaf is really yummy but bad for your waistline, as is all the stuff at the bakery, to be honest. Service is always nice and helpful. Their new dining area in the back is so nice. I've had their salads and sandwiches also which are delicious.“
“Heavenly bistro is kind of a hole in the wall type of place nestled in a strip mall with some non-food shops like a nail place. I arrived around 930a on a Friday morning and there were around 15 people total inside, a lot of empty tables. It filled up a little more around 1015. However, parking was hard. Lots of groups of friends were dining there-- several groups of young men, and as I entered a group of young women left. Inside the restaurant is interesting. Pop music plays at a medium volume. It's clean but not sparkling clean. The tables are a little sticky. The chairs are a little worse for wear; one wood chair at my table was taped in several places with masking tape. They are storing their excess bread in the dining area, as well as cups, coffee, water, and silverware. It's well organized. The menu is large, and the average price per item is at least $17. I ordered a hot chocolate with almond milk for $4, so they didn't give me whipped cream and instead did a dusting of cinnamon which I thought was a nice little thing to do instead. It was creamy and milk-chocolatey. It arrived steaming hot. I also ordered the california omelette for $18 and asked them to replace the toast with fruit (since I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten/bread/wheat). I also asked for the sour cream on the side. So far I have modified everything in my order and the waitress is UNFAZED and happy to help. I appreciated that a lot. The omelette took less than ten minutes to come out. The omelette was stuffed full of chicken, spinach, and cheese, with a salsa on top that has a mild kick. It had three slices of avocado. One thing to note is that though they list this as an egg-white-only omelette, it did appear to also have yolk. That doesn't really matter to me but it might matter to others. Everything was just SEASONED. Like everything had flavor. If you're sensitive to spice I'd let them know because there's a very subtle kick to everything. All the fruit they gave me was ripe. In terms of the potatoes, I'm not usually a potato person (controversial I know). But these potatoes were good. They're crispy and really well seasoned, garlicky and stuff. They have a large assortment of jams (orange marmalade, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry). They have a good assortment of hot sauces-- Tabasco, tapatio, and a local californian brand called the pepper plant. The prices are definitely justified in the portions. I was full after eating about half. When I went to pay I realized-- nightmare-- I forgot my entire wallet. I asked if they had Apple Pay and they did, thank goodness. They were gracious and really nice. Was not the best food in the world but the service was nice and the food came fast. Would come back!“
“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“
