    Decide to grab Mimi's Cafe for breakfast and I haven't been here in years! When walking in we were instantly greeted by the waiter and seated. The waiter was friendly, outgoing, helpful. The ambiance is casual. The lighting is nice and dim and they have music playing in the background but not to loud that you can't hear yourself talk. This place is quite large inside, they even have a bar area, and would be great even if you had a large crowd. They also have a small patio dining area if you wanted to eat outside. We ordered the cookie butter latte (hot). It was frothy and had a subtle cookie butter taste. It has crumbled Biscoff cookie and cookie butter syrup on the rim which adds a nice texture and contrast while sipping on the latte. I opted for the Tres Leches Griddlecakes. It's 4 griddlecakes soaked in tres leches and topped with whipped cream & fresh berries. It's served with a side warm maple syrup, 2 eggs any style, and choice of breakfast meat. These pancakes were fluffy and the sweetness was nicely balanced. I was worried they'd be too sweet but they weren't. However, I did not use the syrup. The fresh fruit added the perfect amount of acidity and natural sweetness to them. They eggs were scrambled perfectly but the ham steak was a little dry and over cooked. It was tough and a little chewy. Based on the breakfast meal I had I would definitely come back and give lunch and dinner a try.

    I stopped in for breakfast and met the most amazing bartender that is so warm and welcoming that she feels like my friend -- Dami. She's so attentive and really kind. I ordered the Quiche Florentine that comes with potatoes. Delivered pretty fast and very tasty. I love the ambiance here as the temp inside is very nice and very relaxing overall. I don't feel rushed and was left alone except for periodic check-ins. A perfect spot to enjoy yourself. Everyone is friendly which is why I continue to return. Thanks so much!

    Service is always amazing. My grandma and I come every Tuesday afternoon and I wouldn't pick any other place. She LOVES the corn chowder, food never goes wrong. Rocio is top notch. Will forever come back as long as we can

    Excellent service and food was absolutely delicious as always. My dad used to take me here and so it was very special to take my nephew here and he loved it!

    I was curious about this place after noticing it has nearly as many 1-star reviews as 5-star ones. I ordered the steak and egg sandwich, and it was genuinely above average. The steak was tender, they use grass-fed meat, which is surprisingly hard to find. The eggs were cooked perfectly; honestly, some of the best I've had anywhere. The food also came out right on time. But then the potatoes showed up sad undercooked with a slight bitter taste which I did not enjoy. And also, no condiments, no utensils. You gotta beg like a supplicant just to get a fork and some hot sauce or ketchup. It's the little things that make a difference. Fix those rookie mistakes and this place could actually be the spot. Right now it's teetering on the edge of being worth a damn.

    I absolutely love coming to Mimi's Cafe. Our team regularly meets here as remote workers, and it's become one of our favorite spots to get work done while also holding productive meetings. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance--comfortable, welcoming, and professional without feeling too formal. What really stands out is the staff. Our waitress is incredibly attentive and kind, always making sure we're taken care of, but she also has a great sense of when to give us space so we can stay focused and productive. That level of awareness is rare and so appreciated. They've also been very accommodating with our group, providing us with a space where we can meet without being in the way, while still feeling part of the warm and friendly environment. It truly makes a difference when you're trying to balance work and collaboration outside of a traditional office. The general manager is just as impressive--professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for guests. If you're a remote worker or have a team that needs a reliable, comfortable place to meet, I highly recommend this location. It's a hidden gem for productivity and great service all in one.

    Bittersweet return--amazing service, but the food just didn't hit like it used to. My husband and I used to eat at Mimi's Café in Fontana often before COVID, and we had so many good memories here. When we were recently in the area, we decided to stop by and see how it was doing. Seeing that Mimi's had survived the pandemic honestly made us happy--this place felt nostalgic, familiar, and comforting. But unfortunately, that excitement turned into disappointment. We arrived around 11:00 AM, and the restaurant was fairly busy. What really stood out was the server, who was wearing all the hats--hostess, server, and cashier. She was clearly experienced, managing the entire front of house with grace, professionalism, and kindness. Despite the lunch rush, she made sure every guest was greeted and informed ("Just give me a few moments, I'll be right with you")--her service was top-notch and a huge reason this review isn't any lower. The food, however, fell short. My husband ordered the Salmon Benedict I had the Short Rib Benedict Each dish was $19, and sadly, both were under-seasoned. We had to add salt and pepper to even bring the dishes to life. The food was edible, but nothing special--just something to fill our stomachs. Our taste buds were genuinely sad. In today's economy, when every dollar matters, it's frustrating to spend nearly $40 on two plates that felt uninspired. There's too much good food out there to settle for mediocre. We also noticed that the restaurant seems to have become a popular spot for an older demographic. It's a good place for group dining or church gatherings, thanks to its spacious layout. It made me wonder if the food is intentionally toned down in seasoning to suit their core clientele--which is understandable, but disappointing if you're looking for flavor. Bottom line: We were rooting for this place. We really wanted it to be as good as we remembered. The service was truly excellent, and we respect the hustle of the staff--but with prices this high and food this bland, we probably won't be coming back.

    Avacado toast

    My avacado toast was good. Service was good. Vibes were good. Everything was good overall.

    Crab cake egg Benedict

    Food was great! Came in on a Tuesday afternoon and while it was a bit dead (as it typically is), but our server was attentive and sweet. Got a crab cake eggs Benedict; the crab is a little faint but the meal itself was yummy.

It makes it difficult to exit when there's other people dining there and waiters moving around. Loved all of the cat decorations and how they kept the red theme going. It's quite dim, but personally that's preferable to it being extremely florescent and bright. Service: Johannes was very pleasant. Food: We came because we wanted to eat escargot. Our favorite French restaurant, Le Gourmet in Upland closed in 2024 or 2025 so we needed to find a new French place. The lamb loin in lingonberry sauce was wonderfully complex with the savory cheese complemented well by the sweet lingonberry. The escargot was perfect. The only caveat was that we tried the pastries of the day -- one was a puff pastry, forgetting the flavor/name and some kind of cake, maybe Napoleon? We did not care for the desserts at all, if I were to get another dessert I'd probably stick with the crème brulée. The bread and salty whipped butter were delicious, seemed house-made? The bread was slightly sweet and I had to hold myself back from gorging on it. Parking: Parked in a nearby garage for $20. I think there was an event going on.

For the mains, we decided to try the Wagyu hot dog and the Wagyu French dip. I can't recommend these enough. The Wagyu hot dog is a massive, flavorful upgrade from anything you'd expect, with an incredible taste. The Wagyu French dip, though, was absolute perfection. The beef was impossibly tender, and dunking it into the rich au jus took it to a whole new level. Everything about our visit was easily a five-star experience.
