The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming!! Their coffee was good and so was the food! Love finding places like this that show they care about the food and people! read more

Another local gem found on Yelp. Husband had biscuits and gravy as usual. When I tasted the gravy I wished I'd ordered the same. Fresh biscuits from their bakery. Lovely grilled potatoes. I had pumpkin almond granola and yogurt and a blueberry muffin. Yogurt and granola were great, muffin was surprisingly bland. Downside. Waitresses were having coffee when we walked in, took one of them nearly a minute to get up and seat us, but very friendly after that. Yes, they saw us...made eye contact. Bought pumpkin cranberry scones to take with and had for breakfast the next day. Wish I'd bought more! read more

I ordered a salad with no avocado online for delivery and it came with avocado all over it. I'm allergic. Tried to call the number on the website and it's disconnected. Since I am without a vehicle today I guess I just paid for a lunch I don't get to eat. read more

Nice find. Almost passed it over as I thought it was a bakery. Great full survive breakfast and they do a very decent Eggs Benedict. read more

After reading Yelp reviews of you fine people out there, I took a visit to 210 State Street in Ukiah. I was driving since 3 am and they opened the door at 6 am when I showed up in town. It was a bit of discovery and journey to find this place (though it is not that hard) as I know Ukiah well having spent many years there and having a minor degree from Mendocino College. With that said it is nice to have an Apple Map application as a big help in the piloting to this place. I arrived at first go and was parked in front of the brick building almost on the corner of stephenson street and walked into the bakery side of the Cafe as it certainly did not look like a restaurant. I had to ask as I wanted breakfast on a plate and then was directed to go 4 feet north from the bakery door, and there recessed into the bricks of urban camoflage was the entrance to the restaurant it self. What a happy surprise to find this place in a rather old western building when horses and wagons were what people used to go about on. Wood hand crafted mahogany tables and chairs is my guess of what to sit in front of ... as a some what spartan but well sorted out establishment. Cello solo suite No 1 in G major by J.S. Bach was in the background. The order came up fairly fast. This place is California Fresh Classy Country, a new treat. I did the Benedict egg stuff but they do a wee bit different that I found enjoyable. The usual bit of Canadian bacon on an artisan bread that look similar to English muffin but was California fresh and baked next door. It was early and a few other muffins were up and if they made Fruit Spirals it would be local produce. Which is what is here, all California grown. The hollandaise sauce is french wisked by hand. If you want caramelized onion and pepper to go with the potatoes just ask. If it is easy adjustment or addition to do you will get it. The egg was poached firm but creamy, almost like a fluffy egg steak to cut into and spear with the fork. It disappears on the tongue never the less. Now last is the potato on the plate. They deep fry in a manner which is light, crunchy, and no appearance of taste or of oil. Though I am sure there is some on it. A rather amazing combination and me having the impression that I am going to enjoy dropping weight on this, as it is that healthy I did leave full; and happy to carry on with driving for the next 9 hours. So are you having an adventure in the country and want to stop by for some classy and well priced refreshment, this is a place to give some serious consideration in visiting. Be brave and bump into it as it appears from the background that it tends to disappear into. Your second go at visiting will not be a problem as you eye knows better now. My very best to you all. sumbuddie wear blind sea read more

After going to some of the other breakfast joints in town, this is my favorite. It is breakfast food with a real homemade flair. They use quality ingredients like apple wood smoked bacon and chicken apple sausage as a standard, triple cooked fried rosemary potatoes, organic strawberry jam, and good coffee. The portions are the perfect size as they don't overload your plate with cheap food like a diner would and the price is fair. Our service was very fast and pleasant. I will be back. read more

We were in Ukiah for a wedding a stumbled upon mamas. The food was amazing! I had the fiesta bowl with an egg and would HIGHLY recommend! My husband had the root veggie hash and loved it as well. The back patio is cute and simple. The service was good and prompt. Wish we could go back! read more

Such a good breakfast - and Maddie is so awesome and accommodating - perfect poached eggs on a delicious kale salad - yum!

Our first time trying Mama's Cafe. We got the eggs Benedict with potatoes and fresh fruits. Hands down the best meal I have had in a long time. We will be returning customers for sure. 100% amazing on every level!!! read more

It took me a few years to find this place. I am glad I did. The fiesta bowl is amazing. Best potatoes hands down. My waitress Becky was amazing, great customer service! read more

Is really good waffle was exceptional eggs bacon breakfast I believe called goof morning Ukiah. But it's pricey really pricey. Disappointed I had the BLT comes with pasta salad they brought me Cole slaw yuck. I'm convinced they just give out tap water that actually tastes like tap water. Look it's good. Will I be back? No not when the best breakfast in the county is across the street from this business. But that waffle was amazing read more

I'm giving stars for the wait staff, they are usually nice and decent at their job. But I dock 1 star for their sage potatoes (it's more like sage with a side of potato,way too much sage guys) and another star because I ordered the oven baked sourdough pancake. I expected at least a small side in addition to the pancake, hell even 1 egg would suffice but the only thing I got was one pancake and a leaf of parsley... For $10? read more

Mama's Has the best breakfast in Ukiah hands down. They also cater amazingly, Which helps with any training or presentation. But the most spectacular thing that mamas makes is their potatoes, Roasted with rosemary and salt they are the potatoes of your dreams. Your taste buds will thank you. Their staff is a delight and super Courteous. read more

Stopped by for the gluten free options. The gluten free muffins and brownies were pretty good. Still serving from a counter at the door due to CoVid. Worth the stop. read more

The place looked cozy from the outside so we gave it a try. Unfortunately it was disappointing. The Cobb salad was the smallest example of its kind. The plate was not full size and it wasn't full to the brim. I was done in about 3 minutes. Ambience is cozy. Salad dressing was surprisingly good. Service was mixed. One waitress was nice, the other could have cared less. had better, way better. read more

This place is a big joke ! It used to be good when it was the old owner . Now with the new ownership, it went downhill. The first time we went there I discovered a hair in my food . I pointed out to the skinny waitress who is always there and since then she seems to hate us every time we go there . I just ignored it and give her the benefit of the doubt . When we went back today they have a New Mexican young girl who waited on us . Every time we ask her something she rolled her eyes at us . She is very rude and unprofessional. To make things worst , she took the orders of the people who came after us maybe because they are Mexicans and another group came in and both groups who came after us got their food first . We had to walk out of there because my daughter was starving and they have to do that to us . Unacceptable and poor management! They didn't even bother to ask if we need more coffee or tea despite the fact that they already by passed us getting our order first . One star is even too much to give to this place. Horrible place to be ! Mutt Hutt is better place for breakfast and lunch ! read more

Stopped in because of the yelp reviews for some breakfast. But sadly I didn't eat. Well couldn't eat. The potato hash bowl that I ordered was inedible! The potatoes seemed like they were held for too long then tossed back in the fryer then promptly forgotten about! It was a crunchy mess of nothing! The eggs that came with it were tasteless and I'm sorry don't advertise that something comes with avocado if you are basically using it as a garnish. Plus one of the waiters was coughing and clearly sick.... Yuck!! Only reason this isn't a 1 star is because my husband enjoyed his meal. Will not be returning. read more

We just had the worst experience at this restaurant. First we waited ten minutes before I had to ask for menus. We ordered pretty quickly then and it didn't take too long to get served-part of our meal. I had finished my breakfast and we were still waiting for the rest of my friend's food. We waited for 30 minutes, politely reminding them that we had not gotten our meal. Each time we asked the waitress said" It will be a few more minutes"...the last time the waitress walked by she blatantly and rudely ignored us. That was too much, we paid for my breakfast and the coffee.Told them we were leaving and why, and went to Starbucks and got excellent service. I would NOT recommend Mommas to anyone. (I believe the rude waitress name was Cheri, could be wrong. ) We weren't the only customers who were less than satisfied today. The table across the way expressed their frustration too. read more

Excellent food for a great price! I ordered a BLT with Avocado which was delicious! Their small potatoes with rosemary that my dish came with were excellent as well. The terrace outside is very nice when it's sunny outside. Even the coffee was very good, which is rare in breakfast joints. I'd like to find a bad thing to say about it, but I just can't. Oh actually yes, there is one. They're too far away from Seattle for me to go there more often! read more

this place has a lovely atmosphere. I love to see a small family business, with the kids helping their parents. Wonderful. The reason for the 4 stars is that their portion is a bit small. I had to order more which in turn drive the price up. Another complain is their menu selection is too small. it is only good for lunch but not much else. read more

I think this is the best bfast in ukiah hands down. I'm trying out different places and there aren't many options here. I keep coming back here after a long night shift! I they make everything fresh. My fav is the the works potato w/ poached egg. Sweet staff read more

This place has tasty food and a lovely patio out back where one can sit and enjoy all kinds of menu options for both omnivores and herbivores. My big gripe about this place is their tendency to close at random. Today, for example, they are listed as open, but a sign on the door announces they decided to take the day off. We saw over a dozen people try to go in around the same time. This is not the first time this has happened to us when trying to eat here. Since we make the attempt infrequently, it leaves me wondering: do they do this often or do we just have bad timing? We want to go back to try more off the menu but you gotta be open. read more

First time trying their breakfast and it was amazing. The potatoes were my favorite with rosemary. The bacon is cooked just how I like it so we're my eggs. The toast was good and so was the freshly squeezed OJ in the morning. I would go back again any day for breakfast. read more

Friday Nite Pizza is our favorite. A genuine family-run business that my wife and I recommend highly. read more

Great breakfasts and excellent coffee and pastries. There is a restaurant and, to the side with a separate street entrance, a walk up coffee bar, although you can also get coffee in the restaurant. I recommend the breakfasts, the coffees, and the pastries. Along with Black Oak, this is the best coffee in Ukiah; and, along with Schat's, the best pastries as well. read more

I use to love this place but the owner Heidi is always so rude I smile at her and she just looks away. I bet if I was white it would be a different story!?! Also there is a waiter by the name of Olivia with the big nose and she always has a stank face. I use to go there all the time but the service keeps me away. Not to mention they constantly overcharge me for orders they mess up! read more

This place has great food! We were provided lunch from here every day during our training. Their house salad topped with their homemade croutons and balsamic dressing is tasteful! Their deli sandwiches are delicious! Portions are perfect for my taste! Not too large and jst enough to leave me satisfied! Food is fresh and wholesome. Definitely a great choice when in beautiful, Ukiah, Ca. read more

The food was decent and it took quite some time just to get my coffee topped off. These are things I could overlook to give a restaurant a second chance. What I did not find acceptable was the fact that the ketchup and jam (held in small containers which are left on each table) were crawling with ants. When I informed one of the servers about the issue, she told me that she would pass it along and just left the containers on the table. I eventually just asked a different server to remove the ketchup and jam from our table. By the end of our meal, there were ants crawling onto the food we had ordered. Go to Stan's Maple Cafe. That's where I always go but I made the mistake of trying this place. read more

The service is great, the servers are friendly, with just the right amount of "how's everything going". I haven't had a issue, ever here, so far, have been 3 times this month and all have been a very enjoyable experience. read more

They have the BEST biscuits and gravy!! It's a small cafe that you can barely see driving thru the main st. Their food is bomb! Alan's the service is A1. read more

Mama's Cafe is my favorite spot in Ukiah for breakfast. The food is consistently good. I love the potato bowls. I haven't ordered anything that I did not enjoy I would give 5 stars if the service was a little better. The staff is friendly enough. I think every time they forget something that I ordered, usually a side of sausage or fruit, then I have to remind our server. No biggie and that's the kitchens fault, in part. I love their outdoor seating area and that they have books and toys to entertain my wild kiddos while we wait for our food. I recommend this place to anyone that asks! read more

Great egg scramble combos! Loved the variety and ability to modify however you'd like. My favorite menu item is by FAR their potatoes!! Crispy outside moist inside and not greasy at all!! Staff is very friendly. I've only been here once but I'll be a regular soon as I'm moving into town. Can't wait to try a potato bowl! 4 stars only because I have little experience with their menu. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Ukiah. Mama's Cafe gives you nothing but that home cooked meal feel. Its dishes are named after various places in Ukiah. And taste so good. It's also a bakery, with delicious baked goods. It's been around for quite some time, yet is still a hidden gem to most locals. One of my favorite spots in Ukiah forsure read more

Had biscuits and gravy breakfast. The biscuits were really big and not very much gravy for the size given. The gravy was barely warm and had them reheat it. Potatoes were way over fried. Not so stoked. read more

Delicious eggs Benedict and amazing latte. Quick service and great location. Would go there again soon.

Had a wonderful breakfast/lunch today, passing through Ukiah, and will make an effort to stop on any future trips through the area. Delicious food! The roasted potatoes have rosemary you can taste in each bite, and the scrambled eggs and toasted were equally tasty. We also had the waffle with fresh fruit and whipped cream, and the kale and egg salad. Also got the ginger limeade. Everything great! read more

Pleasantly surprised!! We ran into this place looking for another place. So glad we did. Hubby had basic breakfast with sourdough toast. People always think breakfast can't be messed up but we have experienced places that can't roast toast or cook eggs . This is NOT one of those places. This cafe does breakfast right !! Good breakfast. Great service. Oh and they have gluten free stuff too. I had a gluten free maple muffin it was yummy. So now we have our go to breakfast place in Ukiah!! read more

This morning I ordered on their online order form from their website. We decided to try something new and their menu looked pretty good. I love that they had the option to order online & give a time to pick it up. However I don't believe they even read our order as when I got there the girl at the counter looked confused and asked if I called it in. When I told her I ordered online she looked it up & charged me & told me it would be ready soon. I waited and it was ready in about 8 minutes. Not too bad. But when I got home I noticed that the sides I ordered - bacon & sausage where not there. Then My husband ordered the roadrunner sandwich with the egg over easy & bacon & cheddar. The egg was scrambled with one small slice of bacon & no cheddar. He did say that the am potatoes were really good. My waffle was also really good. We may try this place again as the food was very good, but I would not order online again. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & garden out back. They also support local artists which is nice. It was not very busy at all only a few patrons at the tables. read more

DO NOT stop in some other town for breakfast or lunch. Stop in Ukiah and either eat here or across the street. I had a special omlett. Good coffee and a total welcome and excelent service as I stayed almost 3 hours cathing up with an old friend. They also were smart and informed when I needed some advice about the town. Two thumbs up. read more

Tried this place for the first time Sat 3/17/18 Hard to find and has no curb appeal. Staff friendly and helpful but both of our meals were over cooked to a point that we couldn't finish. Probably won't return. read more
