About This Spot
Stepping into The Villager Coffee Shop is like slipping into a comfortable corner of a familiar cabin, where the hum of easy conversation mixes with the aroma of home-cooked goodness. Nestled in the heart of Blue Jay along the scenic CA-189, this spot carries the gentle rhythm of mountain living—unhurried, warm, and quietly welcoming.
The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, inviting you to settle in without feeling rushed. Natural light filters through windows that reveal glimpses of the surrounding pines, while the interior’s relaxed diner vibe encourages lingering over breakfast favorites or a midday meal. It’s the kind of place where neighbors and travelers alike find a shared sense of belonging, whether gathering around a table for a hearty American breakfast or catching up with friends over coffee and a tempting treat.
The menu mirrors this comforting spirit, offering a thoughtful mix of hearty classics and playful twists that suit the varied pace of a day in the mountains. Imagine savoring chicken and waffles with a drizzle of syrup that feels like a hug on a plate, or enjoying a perfectly balanced Florentine omelette that strikes just the right note of fresh and satisfying. There’s a grounding honesty to the dishes here, from biscuits and gravy to sandwiches that hold just enough personality to surprise and delight without overwhelming.
Service carries the same authenticity—friendly, unpretentious, and attentive enough to make visitors feel genuinely cared for. Whether you arrive solo, with family, or alongside your motorcycle group, the Villager welcomes you with an easygoing charm that lingers long after the last bite.

This is another hidden gem in the San Bernardino Mountains. They serve up hot, home style cooking every day. And this past Saturday was no exception. There is plenty of seating inside and there is a delicious choice of breakfast and lunch food on their menu. This place is a keeper for my motorcycle group.

1st time here. The service is so so nice. Quaint place. Diner food with good options. Right in the center of blue Jay and walking distance from Jensons. Parking was no issue. Very satisfied with our dishes. Our appetizer was fried artichoke hearts. The dishes we were happy with were the Pastrami burger which is a burger with pastrami inside. The Tri Tip Salad was good and proportionate to my appetite. The vibe was typical diner style but like I said the service made our trip so much better. Check out our rental cabin, link is in profile

Great breakfast/brunch place that is not as busy compared to the Lake Arrowhead Village. The ambiance is a cozy diner experience. We didn’t have to wait upon arriving around 1pm on a Sunday even though it was pretty packed. The food didn’t take long for it to arrive either. Great dining experience. Would visit again! Breakfast Burrito Veggie Style: 4.5/5 Children’s Mac and Cheese w/ Biscuit: 4/5 Orange Juice: 4/5

Food was good, service was also good, not too quiet, not too loud, and the lighting was relaxed.

I was hungry but not hungry for anything specific. The server recommended a Mushroom burger, I added Onion Rings.. it definitely hit the spot but then I wanted something sweet but not too sweet… ( I know I’m picky) The manager brought me a strawberry shortcake. I’m not big on Strawberries , however, the presentation was absolutely beautiful so of course I had to give it a try about halfway through I hit a wall and had to stop… Food coma was setting in. I overheard the table next to me raving about a mushroom ravioli with something that sounded good too. Definitely will be back.

Extremely happy to see a restaurant open in this location. Love the music and interior refresh! Ordered the grilled shrimp salad, side soup and Buffalo wings. Buffalo wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with an excellent Buffalo sauce. Grilled shrimp salad - perfect portion size and grilled shrimp topped it off well.

This place is great and hands down has my favorite breakfast burritos! We just wish they were open later so we could come for dinner too. A great cafe with classic food cooked well, breakfast is hands down our favorite and they serve it all day.
