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. read more

It has been some time since I last visited this Mimi's Café. But I'm so happy I stopped by here today. I had one of my favorite breakfast plates: a bacon, ham & sausage omelette with seasoned potatoes, a pumpkin spice muffin and hot coffee. My meal was prepared fresh and tasted delicious! I would like to give a big shoutout to my server Vanessa for taking excellent care of me. It was also a pleasure meeting their new manager Jeralyn. She's very friendly, polite and professional. I really appreciate that she took the time to check in on me to ask how everything was. Thank you so much ladies for making my dining experience very enjoyable. :) read more

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! read more

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

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

Miranda is awesome! Our food came out promptly and hot. We loved the fish and chips and quiche Lorraine. Great vibes

Rocío was an excellent server. She's was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend 100%.

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

So I have had some mixed experiences with MiMis , the stars must have aligned because this visit went well. I had the special ( Rosemary steak salad) I also went with the blackberry mimosa. And topped it off with the sticky pudding. All of it was perfect. Our server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. This is an odd variant on Mimi's with a bar at the entryway. There is a small patio that is not used . Parking is shared with the center. I will be back read more

Coming to this restaurant was a ch a great experience! We had a great time and the service was super friendly.

I'm not sure what has happened to this restaurant. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and all of it was horrible. The biscuits are hard and overcooked. The gravy had so much what I'm thinking was sage dumped into it. It was unpalatable even the potatoes left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. Even the carrot raisin muffin was subpar service wasn't that great either guess I'm done with this restaurant read more

Mimi's is always a great brunch spot. I come here for the chill atmosphere and great service. It's always fast and Jeralyn takes care of us. My kids like that they have crayons and they order on their own. Our order comes out seamlessly and the food is great. She recommended the muffins which are always the best warm and I like taking some to go! read more

excellent food service and ambiance. Servers were great and friendly. And the food came out quickly and correctly.

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

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

The service is horrible. On a Monday at 1:00 there's only one server for 11 tables, with over a 30 minute wait to be seated. At least 10 people tired of waiting and left. read more

Thanks, Miranda, for the good service; it was a pleasant experience always come here with my family

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

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 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
