Crema's Take
“Maniac Mike's trades traditional coffee-shop aesthetics for front-row seats to small planes launching from a nearby airfield, making it as much a destination for plane-spotting as it is for breakfast. The diner-style menu goes beyond typical cafe fare with creative omelets like the chili relleno version, and the outdoor seating means you're watching takeoffs and landings while you eat. Fair warning: the viral popularity means weekend waits can stretch past an hour, but the novelty and people-watching typically make it worth the patience.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Really cool diner style cafe with views of Mt Baldy and small planes taking off. Unique breakfast / lunch experience for the family. We had the chili relleno omlette and the french toast and it was fantastic. 100% would go again.

This place went viral and has been busy all day. The estimated wait time was 1 hour, but we were seated within 30 min. Time went by quickly as we sat outside watching the planes take off and land. Perfect place for kids to see planes. The country fried steak is AMAZING! Best…
Editing 1/13/26 I've been here 3 times now and I must recommend they do something about the waitress Charlie (brown tall woman). I have never seen someone in service treat customers the way she does. The second time I went there, I was with a friend who uses a wheelchair and I…
