Dining in at Mimi's Cafe in Fontana is a wonderful experience. The food is excellent and so is the service. We ordered the French Dip, the Mushroom Bree Burger and Pot Roast to take home. Remember what dining out was like, you just don't get the same sit-down, dining out experience, and quality food, served hot at your table with food delivery or the drive-thru. Take our word for it dine at Mimi's and feel good about dining out again! KimanJoy read more

I am absolutely in love with this place every time I come the service is exceptional beyond comprehension! If you like pancakes I recommend the cinnamon roll pancakes, which are to die for! If chef Jair is cooking your food it will be the best bite you will ever take! The staff also goes above and beyond every time, and i recommend this place for any kind of food and occasion!! read more

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. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Bread pudding - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fontana, California

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

Mimi's Cafe - Pumpkin Spice Late Spicy Bloody Mary - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fontana, California

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. read more

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. read more

First off, let me say I'm a fan of Mimi's...always has been. I usually go the the San Bernardino location but the other day my husband and I went to the Fontana location for breakfast while we passed time waiting for our car to be serviced. Our waitress was awesome, attentive and friendly. Wish I could say the food was just as awesome. The potatoes were not just cold, they were undercooked. My bacon was burnt, crispy but not in a good way. The buttermilk spice muffin (one of my favorites) was dry and on the hard side. I'm a baker....that muffin was past it's prime. My husband asked for his sourdough toast to be well toasted....it was pale and soft. My over easy eggs and his omelette were the two good points. The cook's egg game was on point but everything else was subpar. read more

The food is good and the ambiance is mid. The service was good. I absolutely LOVE Mimi's for the feel of NOLA and a touch of soul and French Quarters. This was my first time to a Mimi's and the music selection was not jazz or blues and was instead POP a total disappointment. I love hearing some Ella Fitzgerald while having bread pudding or something similar but hearing Meagan and Liz (I TO BE Wanted had to SoundHound it) gave me a headache!!! I came here to relax !! read more

Breakfast was delicious. Service was fair/generic customer service auto responses. Dessert was not good at all. Why would a restaurant serve Crème brûlée that looks like this? Server asked how it was, and I said "not good", and they just shrugged and walked away. Waste of money, could not take any more bites. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Mimosas & muffins - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fontana, California

The service was excellent but they had an advertising on the board that said free pack of muffins so we asked the server & said if you buy a four pack of muffins and the second one is free. So I asked that I wanted the advertised special & the manager said that advertised was over 2 days ago. So to me that's false advertising. Not happy! I still bought the 4 pack. read more

Stopped in 2 nights ago. Only 1 other customer in the place. Ordered pasta jambalaya. Taste was good but pasta a bit overcooked and chicken pieces a bit dry. Questioned whether made same day or before was told same day but I have my doubts. Our server Maria was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. If this review was based on service alone would have been 5 stars. read more

Me and my family are usuals at Mimi's Café we come here all the time because the food and service are always amazing. Nancy, Jeralyn, and Matthew are the absolute best. They're friendly, attentive, and always make us feel like family. The wings are my personal favorite crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The French Quarter Burger is always a hit, the iced coffees are top tier, and the muffins are absolutely delicious soft, fresh, and full of flavor. It's the kind of place where the staff knows you by name and genuinely cares. Mimi's has become our go-to spot thanks to the unbeatable combination of great food and even better service.

I brought my kids here as a detour from the burger chain restaurant next door. It's been years since I've been to a Mimi's Cafe and wanted to enjoy a sit down meal with hot coffee. The muffins brought me back to my younger years visiting their restaurant. The sight and smell of them is nostalgic for me. It's such a staple and you must try one when you dine here! It was also nice to see all the New Orleans decor. My kids even enjoyed looking at the photos and the colorful light fixtures. Vivien was such a great server. Warm, friendly, and attentive. The customer service she provided made all the difference in the dining experience at this restaurant. read more

Nice restaurant. The food was good and reasonable priced. The wait staff was friendly and checked back on us often.

Have always like Mimi's food, until they change the menu and take favorites away! Tried again today and Santa Fe omelet was still good, however the bread basket was like they had someone else bread they didn't finish and let out overnight and put in my basket as it was so hard one would break a tooth on it! We got refills and this omelette is spicy. Our refill was basically the to go cups! Sadly won't be on my list of places to re visit any time soon! In fact we always drive by and say oh they have not closed yet! read more
