We've been coming here for breakfast for over ten years. I have not found another local establishment to compare it with that prepares my food the way l like it. They do it right every-time! The coffee is great! The service is excellent and the service staff joyfully. The owner and his wife are making the place feel homey. Very busy place. Especially on Saturday and Sunday. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! read more

Took a friend to lunch here. It was so-so. The bakery items might be the reason people go here. We didn't have pastries. I had the chicken salad croissant... it was soggy and nothing to brag about. The coleslaw was tasty. My friend had the quiche and didn't compliment or complain. We both had water, no other beverages. I bought a half a rhubarb pie to take home to my husband because it's his favorite. The bill was about $40. I don't think I'll be back. Nothing was outstanding. read more

My wife and I had lunch here for the first time. The service was friendly, and the inside ambiance is cozy. Everything was clean. I had the chicken cordon bleu sandwich, and my wife had the soup of the day. I thought the food was more on the bland side, but both the bakery options and taste were excellent. We ordered a variety of desserts to bring home for later. The pistachio and (I think) ricotta dessert and the chocolate cannoli were exceptional. By far the best desserts I have had in a long time! I wish their baked goods were labeled, and when they put them into the takeout container, they would not place them on the side. This was my fault for not paying attention. Mountain View Cafe is only open for a few hours of the day (10 - 3 p.m.). They also offer a nice patio for outside dining. read more

Yummy pastries and food! Have tried several deserts and they have all been good. The pyramid treat is awesome and much more.

Just no. Dirty kitchen, bugs Waitstaff are amazing but should of caught the dirty plates. Not a one time thing either read more

We were there @ 1 pm. Cute little cafe, with an outdoor patio, but today was a little cool & breezy to eat outside. They were busy inside, but were we were still seated within 2 minutes. Our order was taken & it was delivered within maybe 5-7 minutes. I had the Tuna Melt Sandwich with a cup of Tomato Basil, both were exquisite. My husband had the Southwestern Turkey with their creamy coleslaw & said it was tea good as well. Definitely would recommend! read more

The service is always wonderful, even when the servers are dealing with an overflow of customers. And the baked goods in the case upfront are extremely tempting! read more

this place never disappoints. i don't consider it a restaurant. it's like a bakery/ lunch spot that makes great items that taste great even if you don't think it will. fun place to go read more

Love the - Delicious bear claws with coffee. Yum! Great service too Cute cafe with outdoor seating read more

Cinnamon rolls are terrible. Dry bread like. Doesn't have that good sticky filling. Way to expensive for what you get.

This place is a local gem! The service is always friendly and efficient, even when it's packed during lunchtime. The sandwiches and burgers are top-notch, and the soups are hearty and comforting. Be sure to check the board for the daily special and the soup of the day. Don't bypass the pastry case - it's filled with tempting treats, including delectable cinnamon rolls. I take a pastry to go so I can enjoy it later! read more

TERRIBLE MUFFINS -- TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I've been a fan of Mountain View's baked goods - until now. I bought 2 blueberry muffins yesterday and returned both today. My complaint: barely any blueberries! (Sprouts and Safeway muffins are bursting with blueberries). The one blueberry I found was tiny, tasteless and tough. I spit it out. Cake was bland, so no pleasure there. The very nice server said: "There are no returns here." I asked to speak to the manager. The server returned and said the manager was not available. "Please ask her if this is worth losing a customer." She went back to the manager and returned - the manager still would not talk to me. , "We can return your money," the server said, " but only for the one you didn't taste." I replied, "But how would I know they taste bad unless I took a bite?" She said this was final. A business that does not stand behind their product is a business I no longer trust nor choose to support. Farewell Mountain View. read more

Last Thanksgiving, I ordered a pie from the store. Later, I received a call informing me that my payment hadn't gone through. When I provided my receipt number, I was told there had been a mistake on the order taker's part. On the day I was supposed to pick up my order, the staff claimed that I had ordered a different pie. I explained that I would never order a pie that I am allergic to, but they insisted that this was indeed my order. I then requested a refund, but Nancy, the manager, refused to process it. Instead, I tried to use the money I had already paid to purchase another item. However, she informed me that she had the right to refuse service to a customer. When I asked why, her response was simply, "We have the right to refuse a customer." This was the worst service I have ever experienced. read more

This is a hidden away gem of a place for a good lunch ad very good baked goods. Fresh breads on Thursdays (I think ... better call ahead, and order). Stopped by a couple of times and enjoyed a sandwich for lunch. Took home pastries ... well, it is a bakery and when in Rome, etc. Not too much more to say, nice people, nice food, indoor or outdoor seating. read more

We have been coming here for a few years, thought I reviewed before but here we are! There's not much on the menu we haven't tried. The only thing I can say is don't miss Thursday. The prickly pear meatloaf sandwich is to die for. Get with the potato salad. Perfect pair. The French dip is melt in your mouth awesome, the salads are huyoooge and serve as 2 meals for sure. Everything in the bakery case is terrific, we have our faves including the chocolate mousse volcano. The eclairs are insane. I actually always enjoy the fries as a side to any sandwich so its just life, lol. We love.the staff, drinks are always great. Parking can be a bit weird. And if you're looking for fast service, order ahead for take out. When you want to enjoy friends, a good meal, see folks you know, dine in. Other 10 star meals are the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich, the turkey and cheese croissant and the patty melt. I prefer the santa fe for salad, the quiche is great, I cannot testify to the margaritas but have heard good things. Oh, you can freeze the lava cake accidentally and remember it 4 months later and it still works. read more

Enjoyed being out on the deck in the beautiful AZ fall weather. Neither of us were really hungry after large breakfasts, so ate light. My friend enjoyed a quiche, but the side of onion rings was too much. I ordered a favorite, clam chowder. Was disappointed. It was thin and watery, few chunks of potatoes, nothing else to speak of. The clams appeared to have been finely minced or ground. Full of clam flavor but most likely because of the liquid in the cans that were opened for the clams. Won't order that again. read more

I love this place. The staff are super friendly and efficient. The ambiance is cozy and friendly. I am here for a week and have been working my way through the menu. Every item has been delicious. I will be sad when I have to return home and have to leave this little local gem behind. But no doubt the next time I am in southern AZ this will be my go to spot for lunch. read more

I ordered the prime rib sandwich, it was absolutely nasty. Its color was sickly, and pale in nature. It was also in a mangled state. The bread was sad, and seemed like something from the store, just low quality. Portion of fries was underwhelming. Too expensive for this level of quality. read more

the best try any salad or burger or soup and save room for dessert. great service and nice atmosphere inside or out

Waitress we had was horrible! That's all! She failed to tell us, we could only get a dinner salad with the soup for the 9.99 deal. So we got charged the regular price for our salads and soup. We asked for to go boxes. We waited and waited. Never got them. So we had to ask a different waitress for our to go boxes. I'll never go back. I have this place a few chances. read more

Tasty food. Desserts looked yummy but I'm trying to watch my sugar intake. I chose the stuffed tomato salad with chicken salad. Large portions. Available for lunch only. My Dad and I arrived at 1:30-ish and could get a table immediately, but it was crowded enough that any sooner we might have needed to wait. read more

We stopped in based on Yelp reviews. It was a good choice. Although it was 11:30, the restaurant was almost full. It was a pretty day so we ate on their patio. Our server, Penny, was a jewel. She was cheerful, attentive and funny. We were set to order before she told us about the specials. My wife changed her order to the meatloaf sandwich, a daily special. It came with 2 types of cheese, 2 bacon strips, frizzled onions and prickly pear BBQ sauce on a brioche bun. As it turns out, I should have ordered it too. It was that good. Instead, I had a patty melt. Both our meals came with French fries. As I indicated, my wife's meatloaf was great. My patty melt was good but not great. The patty wasn't too close to the edges of the bread so I had a few bites with no meat. But the combo of the meatloaf sandwich and Penny made it 4 stars. read more

Great food. Great service. It gets very crowded when snowbirds return. And gets very noisy. Desserts counter great.

Absolutely wonderful! Sat right away with excellent service. Everyone was so nice and it was awesome to see regulars coming in that the employees knew by their name and even their order! Chicken salad croissant was delicious as well as the homemade chicken noodle soup! Potato salad out of this world! We left with a slice on lemon cake and it's phenomenal! Check out this local family cafe! read more

The Bakery Case Items Are Calling You With a nice outdoor patio that does have a mountain view and a cozy inside dining room, this cafe delivers a great experience. The goodies in the bakery cases are worth 5 stars on their own. A hot cup of coffee with any one, or two of these bakery treats is about all you can have for a late breakfast as this is mostly a lunch place and doesn't open until 10:00 am. The lunch choices range from cold and hot sandwiches to salads, burgers, quiche and soups. Drinks include wine, beer and more. On our visit my wife had the Southwestern Turkey Sandwich ($11.89) with a side of cole slaw. The sourdough bread was grilled perfectly and the combined flavor of turkey, cheese, bacon and dressing was great. I picked the Hoagie Sandwich ($11.29) and loved every bite. The ciabatta roll held up well under all the condiments, sliced tomato and balsamic. My side salad was a nice assortment of spring greens. We were unfortunate to have sat at a table very close to the bakery cases and we had to keep asking the staff what the different items were. The cakes, éclairs, bear claws, cannoli, scones - be still my heart! Their meals are filling and as most diners do, they take a little (big) something home to enjoy later. You'll get great service, fresh made to order meals and a friendly atmosphere. read more

Have eaten there several times with the same positive review. This time we went in for their bakery goods. Purchased the oatmeal and raisin and peanut butter cookies along with a bear claw and loaf of bread. Excellent. The peanut butter cookies were great. My wife loved the oatmeal raisin. The white swirled rye is great with toast or cheese sandwiches. Service was perfect , as usual. The ambiance was as it should be for a small busy bistro. read more

Amazing staff. Low key ambiance. Really enjoyed the French dip. 3! Kinds of iced tea. Indoor and outdoor seating. The pastries are great. Only negatives were the salad and the fries. Lots of old lettuce and the fries were average and cold. Definitely great staff and good to see how well they worked together. read more

Went yesterday with my wife for the first time to Mountain View Cafe & Bakery for lunch. My wife has eaten there several times and suggested that I should try it. I found the entire experience of service, quality and ambience to be top notch. Having traveled extensively for work for several decades I have literally eaten thousands of restaurant meals. Eating at Mountain View was right up there with the best of them. The only minor issue is it can be somewhat noisy - but definitely worth the visit. I will be going back soon. read more

Food is good. The place has an acoustic problem and it is very difficult to hear when the weather is nice. It's much easier to sit out on their deck where they have multiple tables. read more

We stopped in to check out their baked goods and decided to stay for lunch. Excellent food, excellent service! We will definitely be back.

I am such a fan of Mountain View! Thank you, fellow Yelpers for the recommendation. The Manfolk and I stopped for lunch when we were going through town. I had the special, the open faced roast beef sandwich and it was delicious. They use prime rib as the base and it was perfect. We had to take some dessert home. I took the yummy cinnamon roll home and the Hubbs had cheesecake. Both were excellent. They have a nice selection and offer daily specials. I think that the specials rotate daily. The desserts are all made in house, and I assume that everything is made by hand. Great service, very reasonable pricing, yummy food. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food and great, friendly service. If I were going to be here longer I would certainly eat there again. Very sweet staff

The place is always packed and sometimes there are no parking spaces but well worth the wait as the pastries are always outstanding!!! The lunch menu is awesome and haven't found a bad sandwich yet on the menu!!! Always busy with locals but not too loud that you cannot hear a conversation at your table. A great place with great prices for Breakfast or Lunch!!! read more

Excellent pecan pie. Dinner rolls a bit chewy, but nice and fresh. Super packed for holiday. Pie crust a bit greasy. read more

They save their tables for their regulars and will not allow new customers to take the table. I ended up sitting blocking the walkway to the restroom. Gives you an idea on how they treat new customers. Service was great, the server saved them from obtaining the 1 star. read more

I loved my French dip sandwich served on ciabatta bread I added grilled onions and Harvatti cheese . Simply delicious! Soup very good too! Our waitress was very sweet and friendly.

I adore this spot. Such an unassuming building that I missed it at first until I saw the crowd. The views are amazing, patio has tons of seating with umbrellas that I'm sure during the summer are a must have. It was a cool 70 and sunny when I went and the patio was full so sat inside. Doors to patio were wide open letting in the cool outdoor breeze. Staff took great care of me, food was so good! Quiche are always a favorite of mine and the house made prickly pear dressing on my side salad was legit. Grabbed 3 cookies to go for my coworkers from the display case of delish and was still under $25 for it all. read more
