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!

This place has been through a remodel since it was formally Bills villager which was much needed. We got a breakfast burrito and a kids meal. The burrito was large and could easily feed 2. The salsa served with the burrito was tasty and the right amount of heat. The service was attentive but not the friendliest or outgoing. While the food was good it was greasy. Had to pat the kids eggs down with a napkin.

The Villager Coffee Shop is the kind of place that makes you glad you stopped—classic diner comfort with a real hometown feel. The staff is consistently upbeat, the cooks het it done with a smile and everything comes out the way you want diner food to come out: hot, familiar, and satisfying. (My over-easy eggs could’ve been on the grill for another minute it… still yummy)
It genuinely feels family-owned—not in a gimmicky way, but in the way people greet you, check in on your table, and serve your food with a smile. Locals roll in happy, chat a little, and you can tell this spot is part of the rhythm of Blue Jay.
If you want the classic diner experience—easy, friendly, always solid—this is it.

I only had a coffee to go. The coffee is actually is decent and the staff are friendly.
The reason for 2 stars is entirely due to the to go coffee cup. It simply cannot do it’s job. Every time you drink it leaks. By time the I realized this the coffee is already everywhere. My sweater, my pants and in my car…
After I got home I did some testing. The lid cannot form a seal so every time there’s liquid at the lid it starts dripping.
For the love of God, please use a coffee cup that works.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
