Munchies

My coworker and I were craving something sweet and didn’t want to go all the way to Jamba Juice at the Fairfield Mall. Just based on our first visit here I don’t think I will ever go back to Jamba Juice.
I got a simple strawberry banana smoothie and my first madeleine cookie ever, and my coworker got a smoothie with nearly every fruit known to man in it.
The girls behind the counter were really nice, and the music was really fun and upbeat instead of the lame relaxing music you get at Starbucks and Jamba Juice. The furniture was really inviting by being the somewhat worn couches and chairs. I really enjoyed this place and working within walking distance is really a plus for me!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Every time I stop by here, I hate myself for not allowing me more time to just sit back and relax. The ladies that work here are so friendly and welcoming that it’s impossible for you to walk in and not smile. Ever since I started coming here I can’t bring myself to go to any other coffee shops in the area and plus who else makes bagels and lox?! If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to catch some of the workers singing to beautiful Hawaiian music as one of their husbands play the ukelele. Just the sounds of the two brings me back to the memories I had when I lived in Hawaii.

So I’m gonna be a traitor for writing this review since I work for the competitor, but I do not care!
This place is all too deserving of my 5 stars :)
I LOVE mom & pop coffee shops, and Munchies is foremost on my list.
The owners, Roger and his wife, are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
I love the chill and welcoming atmosphere of this place, as opposed to the strictly «corporate» feel that Starbucks gives off. The decorations and the music they play, combined with the customers playing dominos and laughing just makes you feel right at home.
Not to mention, their espresso drinks are DIVINE. They have flavors here that I’ve never seen at any other coffee shop and that alone is enough to keep me coming back. They are a little bit pricey (a small of most espresso drinks is $ 4) but well worth it.
Even though I’ve moved back to Silicon Valley, this will always be my favorite coffee shop of all time.

I love it here!
Everyone is super chill and it just feels homey. The drinks are really tasty; my favorite so far is the Vanilla Bean blended drink, its a lot richer than Starbucks.
The only thing that got to me was that I had gotten my drink already, and then the girl made three other people’s orders before going back to making my boyfriend’s :(

Definitely a cute little coffee find in Suisun. The environment is very chill and customer service is awesome.
Coffee drinks are pretty good! (Although i’m used to drinking Peet’s!) Munchies is definitely a better choice than Starbucks!
I absolutely love the different choices of drinks. I actually got to try my first Italian Soda today, and WOW. Delicious! Next time I go there i’ve to try their Shaved Iced!
Ordered Lox on a onion bagel today and it was AMAZING! It’s definitely filling, and i’m one to have a pretty big appetite. (I didn’t even finish it).
Plenty of tables, games, comfy chairs, Wifi and a t.v.
Love that they are very familiar with their regulars and love how they treat everyone that walks in there like they’re family. Great establishment! Definitely swinging by here instead of Starbucks when i’m in the area!

Just like Butch N Nellies in Sacramento, Munchies prides themselves on making a series of specialty mocha drinks. They also make your regular am coffee fair (americanos, espressos and lattes) but it’s just not quite as fun as ordering «the Hawaiian» with macadamia nut flavors!
I knew this was going to be a great place for early morning coffee when my google maps couldn’t even find it so I had to go old school and call for directions.* Once I got there, Dannylynn (I believe that was her name) was so sweet in making recommendations (there were so many options).
Friendly and fun, this place reminds me of coming over to my friend’s house for coffee before work. There are games, chess boards, and nice locals hanging out to chat about the weather. and other stuff.
I got a special drink (sugar-​free syrups, decaf, soy milk, the works) in no time and got to enjoy sitting down in a local place and support a local entrepreneur. And I’m not even FROM Suisun!
So as I drove off with my warm, tasty coffee beverage I had to scoff at all the schmucks waiting in line at the Starbucks drive-​thru… if the point was to be speedy and get a fancy mocha you could have killed two birds with one stone just across the street at Munchies. If the point was to just get your fix, you still could have done better across the street at Munchies. It’s just plain better.
Friday nights they have live reggae music and it looks like other entertaining options on other nights of the week. This is one thing Suisun City does have going for it and if isn’t not the wealth of delicious coffee beverages I want to try, it might be the live nightlife music that brings me all the way back!
*This coffeeshop is located across from the Chase bank in the shopping center located at Merganser and Sunset. It’s ACROSS from the shopping center with the Starbucks in it.

After a long day at work, I needed some caffeine to boost my energy and to treat myself to something sweet. So, I remembered looking up coffee shops in the Fairfield-​Suisun area and this one popped up and caught my attention. Not only did this place receive practically 5 star reviews, but was also one of the few if not the only one independent coffee shops around. So, I thought I should check it out.
I walked in and the place felt very homey and cute. I probably looked lost and unsure of what to order because the menu is pretty extensive and many of the drinks sounded enticing. So, the lovely and friendly barista (I forget her name, even though she told me!) suggested I get the Hawaiian Cruise (I believe that was the name; I had such a bad day that I don’t remember). I do remember how delicious it tasted; the perfect blend of chocolate, caramel, coffee, whipped cream. Yum. Thanks to her for giving me an extra shot of coffee for free. :o)
I love how the baristas know their customers by name and can casually strike up conversation. Places like this don’t exist much anymore in our fast-​paced, let’s get everything instant and to-​go society. So, I appreciate their down to earth-​ness.
Anyway, I’ll definitely be coming back to this place… and will write a better review update. :o)

Nice, locally owned spot. Great drinks, friendly people who take note of their repeat customers. I have tried several of their lattes, mochas, and teas, and I haven’t had a bad drink yet. Well… there was that comedy when I had to explain how to make the drink I wanted. But it was made! Love it!

Visited there last night coffe was so good hit the spot. I like that they are kid friendly in there too. Everybody in there was very helpful and nice. You must visit.

I finally stopped in to give this place a try, and I am so glad that I did!
First off, their mocha’s don’t make me sick like that other place does. Second, they make GREAT coffee! I’m not going anywhere else!
Doesn’t hurt that they are a local business either. Much rather spend my cash there! If you haven’t tried it yet, I totally recommend you do!

Finally set foot into this place after all this time to check it out since I was in the area staying with a friend.
First things first is the atmosphere. The folks here are chill and very welcoming. That is always a plus. The same goes for the patrons and regulars of this place. Great place to come by to kick it with the homies and have a blended coffee, smoothies, or hot/​iced coffee.
Speaking of the latter, with the variety of caffeinated drinks they had to offer I decided on the Mexican hot chocolate and that had a good kick of the espresso that I desperately needed that morning to jump start the rest of my day. Didn’t know that hot chocolate could do that to you. Not bad at all. To accompany the drink at hand I got my friend and myself the lox and bagel schmeared with cream cheese. Should have split it with my friend. That was really filling with the appetite I was having. (I did finish it anyway)
Excellent customer service I must say! Support this local business. You wont be sorry! Munchies, I will be back. Keep up the good work (and coffee) :-).. .

Amazing selection of drinks! Wonderful warm welcome both times we have been. Oh and yummy bagels too!
Go here for your coffee!!!

Context: found this place munchies through
, and I wanted to try it out since i’m in the east bay anyways. I brought my friends by on a tuesday, after we got our hair cut at Sense Salon in fairfield. (another review later)
The vibe was definitely chill-​lax. There were some gentlemen hanging out playing drums and a ukulele, and everyone there said hello as we walked in. It was a hot day, and it looked like they were all trying to cool off. There was immediately someone there to help us out.
Munchies’ Menu has so many things to choose from. My friends and I didn’t know where to start, so I spoke to the barista and she was very helpful. She knew what were the most popular, and the recommendations she made were right on.
We ordered a Strawberry Mango smoothie, and a Reefer Butter drink. First, the Strawberry Mango was very refreshing. I’m not usually a fan of fruity drinks that are also tart/​tangy because they tend to taste ‘dry’ and make me thirstier. But this drink was a good balance, although still a little tart/​tangy for MY taste. The Reefer Butter drink; awesome name. I ordered the works in this drink, meaning that there is a lot that goes into it. I don’t remember what, but when I took that first sip, it was an experience in my mouth. First you get a good silky coffee/​java/​chocolate taste, then you get a peanut butter texture taste. I mean if you can imagine a Go-​gurt snack, you know how you eat it out of a tube? Imagine that tube had peanut butter in it, now imagine that tube was a straw and imagine that is what i drank. I enjoyed it. :) it definitely cooled me off.
Overall, I will definitely hit this place up when I’m in town. (which will probably be less considering CA is raising the toll prices.) Note that Google had the directions wrong when we came on 6÷22÷2010. The directions took us to a 7 – 11. You’re looking for a sign that says ‘coffee’. Thanks for reading!

After a long long long hiatus of writing Unilocal reviews, I thought I’d make my return reviewing a newly found coffee shop in the sleepy little town of Suisun City, CA. Immediately upon first stepping foot into this joint I felt like I was visiting an old friends house haha. Reggae/​Hawaiian kine music was playin in the background and got me in a real chill mood to just unwind to some good drinks/​eats.
Their menu was huuuuge. They have a wide variety of hot drinks, cold drinks, blended drinks, smoothies, as well as various food items in case you want to pair some good eats with your beverage of choice. I was a bit intimidated at first so I asked the house for their recommendation. I ended up getting something called the White Hawaiian? (the name escapes me right now), but it was a similar take on a white mocha. The espresso tasted of good quality and didnt taste BURNT like Starbucks roasts tend to taste like. Nice and smooth, just the thing to kickstart my day! They do offer various ways to customize your drink as well (ie. milk types, extra shots, different syrups, etc), so they can cater to even the pickiest of customers!
The lox bagel was on point as well! I was happy to find this item on their menu as not a lot of local joints serve lox (seems to be more of an east coast thing).
Ultimately, what impressed me the most was the customer service and attention to detail that Munchies provides. I really felt like they genuinely were happy to be serving their customers. This alone will bring me back as a returning customer. Their prices are a bit higher than other mega-​corporate coffee shops, but i’ll pay it for the higher quality drinks/​foods.
Right on Munchies!!!

One of the chillest, coolest, nonprestigious coffee shops around.
Of course, it’s a reference to pot, hence all of the Mary Jane Times newspapers scattered around the joint. (Get it, the JOINT?) But the owners here are lovely. They are seriously the most friendly people you could ever meet at a lovely establishment like this.
And then there’s the drinks. The coffee was reaaaally good, although I only order coffee that has been covered in sweet stuff to conceal the coffee taste. But one drink has a league of its own. Which is…
THE HONEYDEW SMOOTHIE.
OH MY GASH.
The best drink I’ve ever had in my whole friggin’ life. And I mean deliciousness up the wazoo. I absolutely adore it, obviously.
Only one problem. They are called creepers. I frequently run into a few middle-​aged men that wind up tryin’ ta get at me. But that’s okay, because the smoothie makes up for it.

To be fair, I came at an usual time. 4:45 in the afternoon is not the best time to judge the merits of this coffee shop, but my experience wasn’t the greatest. The television was blasting, making it impossible to read and the wi-​fi needed a password that wasn’t apparent anywhere and the person working the counter was outside hanging out with friends.
I could see how Munchies has potential. The menu was attractive and I liked the comfortable feel of the place. My coffee was good, so if I’m back in Suisun, I’ll give it another shot and post a follow-​up review.

I have to admit that this is my friend’s coffee shop (one of my BEST friends, in fact)… BUT that doesn’t mean it doesn’t rock.
It’s a family owned and run business into which they’ve poured their hearts and souls. They make sandwiches and shaved ice and offer an insane amount of other snacks (wonder why they’re called Munchies??).
They only use good coffee (sorry, the brand name escapes me at the moment) and take their time to make them (so they’re perfect every time) and have an extensive menu to cater to all palates.
On top of ALL that, they host several events on a regular basis (poker night, rock band night and karaōke). Also at any given moment of any given day, you’ll find a group of people tossing around dominoes.
It’s a great spot. If you’re in the area, check em out!
P. S. Try the chicken salad. :-)

Cool, down to earth people.
The vibe is comfortable and relaxed, where you can chill with your made to order blendie drink, play games, and not feel any corporate sameness that comes along with the other spots in town.
Munchies has character. They also have wifi. And they play good soul.

Found this place on Unilocal and I love it…
Coffee: Amazing, tailored to each customer
Food: Fresh and tasty
Atmosphere: Varies but always excellent. My roommate and I travel 20 minutes to study here for our med school exams on some afternoons. On many evenings they provide great services to the community by offering street fighter competitions or art contests especially geared towards local youth
Management: Family owned, friendly
Internet: Free and unlimited with purchase (and you’ll want to try something!)
Other: Shaved ice, board games anytime, kind of like a candy shop too, AMAZING HOURS (5:30AM to 10 or 11PM most days!)
I’m a tough sell for a five star rating, definitely recommend.

This coffee shop is amazing. The only thing wrong with it is that people go to Starbucks. So really, it’s nothing wrong with Munchies, it’s that people go where it’s familiar.
The drinks are made very well, they have a meal menu (of which I’ve never actually tried, but I’ve heard great things), and the staff is excellent. In fact, just the other day I was in the shopping center across the street jonezing for a coffee and thought I’d walk to Starbucks, when I remembered, Munchies is just right across the street, and MUCH BETTER! A few hundred feet more of a walk wasn’t going to kill me, and it was worth it.
Their prices are better, and I’ve yet to have a yucky drink. Often I am assaulted at coffee shops with their house coffee. It is certainly strong at Munchies, but it’s very good. As long as you don’t mind staying up all night ;)
The woman that works (and is part owner) there [sorry I can’t remember her name!] is awesome. I walked in one day and couldn’t decide what I wanted to drink. I usually prefer a latte with some small amount of flavor added. She asked a few questions, and I ended up with the best drink I’ve ever tasted. Their tea selection is also very delicious. They are a great place to go if you want to try something new, and they’re a great place to go to try something you’re familiar with but better!
