The waitresses have an attitude that isn’t always pleasant BUT the food is good. So I keep coming. But they need to work on that. *Their customer service is mediocre at best. 🫤

Man. The end of an era. Apparently the cafe has been sold to new owners. The food has changed. The waitress was about 16 and sat at the counter with another employee eating fir for about 30 minutes. Never checked on us or anyone. They changed the waffle to fat doughy ones and the gravy is diff and lacks any flavor. Sadly after 30+ years....will not be back. The other waitress also had a bad attitude. Sad. It is good they cleaned it up and added some paint.

A True Hidden Gem for Breakfast Lovers! with friendly customer service and grateful owner
Joy of Eating in Vallejo is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.
The food is absolutely fantastic—everything tastes homemade and full of flavor. I had the [insert your favorite dish here, e.g., “Country Benedict with crispy hash browns”], and it was cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the coffee keeps flowing.
You can tell this place is loved by locals, and for good reason. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or just a classic eggs-and-toast combo, Joy of Eating delivers every time. I’ll definitely be coming back—and bringing friends!

This cafe is an absolute delight—every visit feels like a warm hug!** The moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make you feel right at home. The food is simply incredible, with fresh, flavorful dishes that taste like they were made with love (the avocado toast is a must-try, and their pastries are heavenly). What really stands out, though, is the service—the team is so attentive and kind, remembering little details that make the experience special. Whether it’s a perfectly brewed latte or a quick lunch, they go the extra mile to make sure you leave happy. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and service so well, but this cafe does it effortlessly. **I’ll be back again and again—highly recommend!
Multiple page bits theophylline supposed REAL crab in crab sandwich, owner says it's crab skin. I eat a LOT of REAL crab that doesn't have bright orange skin, like only fake crab madefrom fish has!!! DIDN'T taste bad, but stop saying it's REAL crab.

I ordered on Doordash for pickup and almost drove past it because it's easy not to notice but the food and service were superb. You guys need a big, bright, beautiful sign to reflect your service.

Typical dining atmosphere but small. Arrived about 9am on a Sunday with my 9 year old daughter. Ordered coffee, hot cocoa, 2 breakfast specials, cinnamon toast, and grits. THREE guests who arrived and ordered after us were served before us with all kinds of sandwich and Florentine on their plates. Also, coffee was not good and pancakes were not good. Grits were not creamy but indeed gritty. Not good. Bill was $55. A better server came after but we were already finished as daughter only had eggs (didn't even eat the pancakes). Outlets don't work for device charging.
