    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.

    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.

    The food is definitely not what it use to be. Not sure what kind of au gratin potatoes these were but they were covered in what might have been butter and oil. No cheese taste at all. Server was okay, and the peach mimosa was the best thing we ordered. Overall I'd say way too over priced and tasteless food. Don't recommend.

    The setting was very cozy like a café should be. The food was delicious and felt very heartwarming as if it was home-cooked. The service was on point and quick, always there when in need, especially from the server named Jerlynn.

    We ordered the Thanksgiving Feast for a work potluck. Please see the pictures I posted for the items that are included. It says that it will feed 8-10 people... they must have meant children bc there's no way that 8-10 grown adults will be full off of this meal. At the most it would probably will feed 4-5 adults however very unlikely that it would feed 8-10 people. I was pretty disappointed that we dropped over $200 for this, plus gratuity for them to pack it into a box and had me carry it out to my vehicle on a rainy day. What was the point of tipping them?! On top of that, they included two little 1oz containers with the fried onions for the green bean casserole. I kindly asked if I could have two more and almost wanted to laugh out loud when the gal told me they will have to charge me for it. I'll stick to honey baked ham going forward- truly this was a disappointing experience. The only reason why I'm giving even one star is bc the GM called me to ensure that I knew the feast was not warmed up. I asked him how big the turkey was and when he told me it was 5lbs I started to laugh! I said no way a turkey can be that small... he said maybe 10lbs and I thought "okay that's a lil more like it" boy was he right... this turkey is the size of a whole chicken!!!

    Our server was amazing great customer service. Our food came out fast and taste was on point!

    Came here for breakfast. We haven't been in a few years but used to come on a regular basis to eat an early real fast and sit at the bar for mimosas. This time we arrived about 9 to do the same but were told there was not a bartender present. No problem - we still enjoyed our breakfast of avocado toast with poached eggs (a nice addition was the chili flakes) and the wonderful orange juice the serve. Our service was great - no complaints; be prepared it was cold though. Overall great food and service. Feature was the pumpkin muffin which my husband enjoyed with his eggs & bacon. Coffee was on the weak minus the one star. Thanks Mimi's for enjoying our Saturday morning.

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.

I thought that was a really nice touch. We had prefix menus I know we didn't go with the most expensive set that they have. We also had a selection of appetisers per table and of sides. Everything that came out was delicious! My favourite appetiser were the goat cheese balls. They were crunchy on the outside and really soft on the inside. I ordered the fillet medium rare and it came perfectly cooked. The Mac and cheese was delicious! The Brussels sprouts were crispy and tasty. I didn't notice that they had pork and I'm allergic to it. One of my coworkers noticed and warned me. When one of the staff overheard that I couldn't have it because I cannot have pork, she apologised and said that they could make some without pork. I didn't want to make a big deal and I said it was fine. The staff still went above and beyond to cater to my allergy and brought one without pork. That was a really nice thing to do because the Brussels sprouts were really good! For the dessert I picked the gooey brownie which was good but very rich.

    SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more The service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.
