Mimi’s Cafe

This restaurant has good food but the service is the WORST! It’s not just a fluke either, has happened several times! Poor management and nothing offered to amend the long wait, wrong order and lack of attention. Will not go here again.

Seated pretty quickly in a smaller, quieter room off the main dining areas…:-) Good start– greeted quickly by my server and she took my order right away. Got my yummy mimosa (in a large wine glass!) quickly ! The entrée came in under 10 minutes, was hot and the poached eggs were perfect! I ordered Potatoe Cake Eggs Benedict and it was delicious! Can’t quite finish it :-) Got a second mimosa (not in the larger wine glass that I like though) and am trying to supress my excited satisfaction… the mimosas were ‘brunch price’ - ($ 5.00 on weekends) a great experience, I will be back! …now to go home and have a nap.

complete garbage. Service sucks, food is over priced for what it is, Bacon was actually Minute Bacon from the box. Never got a refill on water or coffee because waitress never came by and the other waiters ignored my waving hands. My girlfriend only took 2 bites of her food because the hollandaise sauce was terrible. I paid for the food still even though I told the waitress is was horrible. I did not leave a tip. This was the second time I’ve tried Mimi’s Shitcafe and it’ll be the last.

We had a work meeting here for a group of 9. The service during lunchtime was very poor. Asked for a drink and after 20 minutes it still hadn’t arrived. Rarely got refills. When we called ahead our team leader asked for separate checks and it was brought as one full check. We had to wait quite a bit of time to have it corrected, and then each person who paid with a card had to wait a while to get the card back. I only had a sandwich and fruit, and I thought the fruit side was lacking. I enjoyed the pineapple but there was one small slice of that, two small slices of oranges (almost smaller than a garnish), some grapes, and a huge melon piece (melons are the lame filler of any fruit medley, if you ask me). Probably won’t come back in the future.

Loved the $ 5 glass of Merlot tonight along with penne pasta with meatballs. Had coupon for free entrée. Where else can you get a dinner with good wine for $ 30. The waitress was incredible. We both had the Atlantic grilled salmon and it was great the cheesecake is $ 7.19 but it’s made in house and delicious.

I came here for the first time and loved it. I loved the feel of the place. It felt like grandma house. The food was amazing. A bit of southern style. Our waitress (I believe her name was Laura) was great! We happen the mention that my husband and I would be sharing our meal. She ended up splitting our meal on 2 plates where most places we go and say we’re sharing a meal just bring us an extra plate. Great customer service! Thank you Laura for the great experience!

Marcus was our waiter. He was polite, courteous, friendly and very attentive to us. The meal was perfect. The omelette was delicious along with the potatoes and the coffee was superb. I’d like to give him more than 5 stars! #rockstar

This place is okay, the $ 18 steak was chewy and tough. The French dip was very boring. The calamari was good.

It was my first and my last time at Mimi’s Café.
I heard the food was pretty good. I heard the breakfast is even better. Walking in a family was walking out and talking about how delicious the food was. So I was alright this place had got to be good. Well I was dead wrong. I had ordered the turkey club sandwich and my girlfriend had the chicken avacado sandwich. And let me tell you both of them were dry and very Blain. The food had no taste, you would think the avacado would give it some flavor but it added nothing to it. I would of had a better time at subway. The service was great though our server Daniel was very nice and knowledgeable young man.

Wow. Just wow!
I have seen Mimi’s Café a hundred times and never thought to give it a chance until today. I’m kicking myself for missing out on such a wonderful place.
My mom and I had lunch here today, our very first time at this place and we were blown away by the freshness and quality of the food. Let’s not forget the customer service! Sorry for all the exclamation marks but I’m so excited to have found another great place. Our server was Jen, she was so sweet and attentive. We mentioned it was our first time so we’d like suggestions about the menu, and she suggested an avocado burger with sourdough bread. Which was so good by the way! We ordered a carrot muffin and a croissant before our food and were so amazed by how fresh and warm everything was.
Half way through our meal the manager came by and said Jen told her we were first timers there and she’d like to welcome us and invite us back again and gave us two separate boxes of muffins each! I thought that was so sweet! No pun intended. It was such a nice experience, can’t wait to return with my husband next time. Definitely worth a try! The restroom were clean, the establishment was nice and clean too. I loved the exposed brick inside. Ask for Jen! She’s awesome! Go ! Go! Go check it out before the next group of people read this review and decide to go too and now you’ll have to wait longer to be seated haha by the way, our wait time was no longer than 5 minutes and thats because we changed our minds last minute to be seated in a booth.

I just finished having lunch here for the first time.
Atlantic Salmon and French onion soup. Fantastic food, and great service. Throughly enjoyed this dining experience, and will be back again for more.

This location is really close to home so it has been a convenient option for dinner and breakfast a few times.
Most of our visits have been for breakfast and I’ve found it to be a solid breakfast option. Even at prime breakfast time on weekends we didn’t have to wait long for a table if there was a wait at all. Service has always been friendly and efficient. Pricing for both breakfast and dinner is inexpensive.
My favorite part of the breakfast menu is the variety of options. They have pastries, fancy coffees, omelets, benedicts, crepes, pancakes, waffles, and quiches. I know I’ll find something delicious no matter what food mood I’m in. It’s also a favorite spot when my parents are in town. My dad prefers a big Midwestern breakfast and my mom likes a pastry with fancy coffee. Mimi’s has great options for both of them.
I just remembered that someone gave me a Mimi’s gift card for my birthday and that Birthday Crêpe Cake is calling my name…

I have been to this Mimi’s Café three times in as many months. Once with my whole family for dinner. Once by myself for breakfast. And once with my dad and step mom for lunch. I think I have pretty well covered the spread at this point and can compose an accurate review.
Lets start with the good. The bread they bring out in the beginning is pretty awesome. The mini baguettes are the star of this bread basket. Soft on the inside while a little chewy on the outside. Delicious. Especially with the whipped butter to spread on. Not that these little loaves need it. The little football shaped carrot cake/​bread pieces are OK but really are better with the butter. Aside from bread, Mimi’s has a really good French onion soup. It is full of onions and loaded with cheese. The croûton on top stays crisp just long enough despite floating atop piping hot broth. This soup is one of my menu favorites at Mimi’s.
On to the less that amazing yet still pretty good part of the review. The salad seems to be enjoyed by my family. I, however, am less that impressed. To me, there was not quite enough of the dressing. A shallot vinegrette I believe. I suppose it is a good enough dressing I just wish there was more of it for me to taste. My cheese steak sandwich I ordered for dinner a couple of months back was pretty average too. Not a major standout but not a horrid sandwich either. The fries on the side are good but I wish the ketchup for them had been left on the table in a bottle so I could smother rather than dip. I don’t like to dip my fries. But I guess that is just nit picking. Finally, the chicken cordon bleu sandwich I ordered for lunch was mostly impressive. Perfectly cooked chicken that was both juicy and crisp topped with cheese, ham, lettuce and tomato on a ciabatta bun. The ham was awesom and in perfect proportion to the chicken. the bun was a solid bast and held up to all the ingredients. All in all, I enjoyed it. One nagging shortfall was the absence of flavor in whatever kind of spread and/​or dressing was on the sandwich. I would expect something of a honey mustard dresssing. I don’t believe that is what I got. I had to find a drop to taste on its own to figure out there was any sauce and I am still not sure what it was. A seasoned mayonaise perhaps? I’m not sure because it did not taste like much, unfortunately. It didn’t ruin the sandwich but it could have elevated it much more were it done a little differently.
And lastly, the disappointments. Mostly, breaskfast let me down. I ordered chicken and waffles. It took a long time to come out and what I got was a perfectly cooked, thick, fluffy and golden brown waffle topped with two over cooked (I dare say burned) pieces of under seasoned chicken breast. With enough syrup I made it work but this was not the best chicken and waffles I’ve had. I rather expected more. At least now I know not to order that next time. There are plenty more breakfast options to choose from. I’ll just have to give those a try.

Service excellent but atmosphere since the sold is horrible, stucco a gogo instead of the Jazz room. New owners have sucked the life out of here, we’re sitting in a glorified Dennys. So long Mimis your only a shell of your previous self

Good environment to come in and have a good meal. the servers were friendly and check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast menu had a good variety and the all butter croissant sandwich was amazing. The fruit was really fresh and tasted great.

I love this Mimi’s Café! The one by me closed down (215 & Rainbow). The funny thing is, we always get the same waiter when we go, which is fine because he’s so nice and he gets us everything we need one time.
Highly recommend the Bacon Avocado Sourdough Burger! I am so picky when it comes to burgers cuz to me, they all taste kinda the same but this one hits the spot. I LOVE the sourdough bread cuz it has cheese on it too and the flavor blend of that and the rest of the burger just goes so well on the palette.
Service is always fast even on a busy night when its packed. I have no complaints about this place, I love coming here when I crave a tasty burger. If you’re in the area, come thru!

When I think if Mimi’s, I think of muffins.
Mimi’s Café is another one of our national chain restaurants. I’ve been to several locations since its a known place. They bake some amazing fresh muffins that are offered with breakfasts or separately. Usually my visits are during the morning hours so a muffin is always accompanied. Yes I rave about them but the main breakfast is just average. Their omelette isn’t anything over the top or memorable. The filling inside is usually dim. The breakfast potatoes are few and over salted. I would suggest only getting coffee and a muffin for your morning meal here.
Service here has been pretty good. They have been attentive and friendly. My coffee was always refilled without me asking. It’s not the best of places but it will do.

This is a nice little restaurant for all times of the day. We stopped I for dinner a few nights ago and we’re surprised about the quality of the food.
We started with a spinach artichoke dip, it was delicious but really heavy.
I ordered the roasted chicken best and fries. With a house salad. Everything was cooked to perfection. Very flavorful.
My fiancé ordered the salmon with fries and a french onion soup. She didn’t care too much for the bread in the soup but she’s not much of a bread eater.
For desert we ordered a cappuccino and a crème Brule cheese cake to go. The cheese cake was very plain and felt like it needed to be elevated to match the quality of their entrées.
I’m only giving them 3 stars because the service was a bit slow. I had been offered bread from our waiter kiel and I had to remind him to bring it out. I had also found myself with an empty cup more than once.
All in all this is a really great place and the prices were good. I would recommend coming here.

I met a GF here for lunch today. Parking was easy… For the most part, but the construction on the streets makes it challenging to get in and out for now.
The hosted got us in right away. I didn’t particularly like the big booths in the main dining area so I asked if we could sit in the sun room area. Even though it was closed off, she accommodated us! I loved that!
Our server came over right away and for our drink order. When se came back we were ready to order. I had this amazing crusted and breaded chicken cordon blue sandwich and my GF Got a salad. I don’t remember what kind because my face was buried so far into the delicious sandwich… I was paying attention!
I give them 4 stars because the table… Even though set for new patrons… Was disgusting and dirty. My seat had food and crumbs on it and was not whipped down. They accommodated my seating request, but should never have put the place settings without actually cleaning the table.
Everything else was spot on… I would go again in a heart beat… I’ll just check the table next time before I sit down… Lol!

2 stars for the décor and $ 5 happy hour on all wines. Other than that service was terrible and food was mediocre. We arrived around 5:00 and seated quickly. However it seemed there was only one waiter for the entire dining room. We sat for well over 10 minutes before he came over. No drinks and no bread.
Once he did come to our table we ordered drinks and dinner. All glasses of wine are $ 5 for happy hour which is nice. We decided on the pot roast with soup and a house salad. It was quite a while before we finally got our drinks, and still no bread. The salad came out and finally bread. Did not care for the raisin bread, too sweet for dinner.
The pot roast came out a while later after we had finished the salad and soup. The plates were never removed. They sat on the table the entire meal, up to the bill. The pot roast was chewy and the broccoli overcooked. I swear the mashed potatoes were instant. After we were done the waiter offered us dessert. We chose the apple crisp after offering us about 5 choices. He returned and said all they had tonight was a brownie, they were out of everything else.
In the waiters defense it seemed like he had a lot of tables and had no help. The manager finally came out to assist him but by then it was too late. Service was a ZERO. I like the «french country house» décor but food and service are severely lacking. And sold out of 4 of the 5 desserts we were offered? Disappointing experience to say the least.
