Mimi’s Plate

I have never posted on Unilocal before although I use it all the time. But my experience today at Mimi’s made me compelled to do so. I have frequented this establishment many times before. The food is good and fresh although a bit pricey. I decided this morning to treat myself to breakfast from here on my way to work which I have never done before. I arrived at 8:15 am and although I was the only customer I found it hustling and bustling with activity in the kitchen. I ordered my sandwich and made my coffee. After about 5 mins the person who took my order said that they don’t open until 8:30 so I would have to wait. I was flabbergasted and asked why the door was open if they were not. I got no response. This is unacceptable and rude customer service. I will never go to Mimi’s again.

Friend told me to go, so I decided to try it. Bring your platinum card. The prices here are insane. The chicken nuggets 16.99 per pound– really? Turkey meatloaf 14.95!
This is not Balducci’s. I had a muffin and coffee and it was okay, but not worth going back for.

Absolutely adorable! I had the salmon and the red lentil soup– flavorful and simple. Absolutely delicious and healthy assortment of food.
The deserts were also to die for. The carrot cake was moist and fresh and the gluten free peanut butter cookies with chocolate ganache should be illegal.
100% recommend for a quick & nutritious bite!

Only tried some sandwiches and cole slaw but everything looked amazing and the quality is a step above the rest. They use organic chicken and local farm vegs and fruits. The chef is amazing and we can’t wait to go back. It’s a small little take out mostly place that caters beautiful food. Highly recommend. They do have a few stools and counter if your want to eat there

Great little lunch spot. Great sandwiches. Great sides.
The egg potato salad is something special. I don’t think I’ve ever craved a potato salad until I had it here. So creamy and rich and satisfying.
The only downside I would say is that it’s a little pricy to be a daily lunch place for me. I would definitely come more often if this was the case.
I hear they cater. Will definitely give them a try sometime.

There’s nowhere within a 20 mile radius that can beat this place to grab lunch. If I worked in an office with a better fridge, I’d probably pickup dinner every day too. The food stays pretty simple and that’s it’s charm. Great BLTA salad.

I have never gone to Mimi’s and didn’t 100% love what I ordered. The food here is the absolute freshest around. The Kale salad is a staple to my order. My only issue is that it can be a tad pricey

What a delightful find! Totally recommending this delicious place to everyone! I just came across the owner while in another local shop and we had a short conversation that ended with me trying out her place for dinner. Let me tell you it was the best choice for dinner I have made in a while. Completely satisfying. I had the turkey meatloaf along with assorted roasted veggies and a golden beet salad. The quinoa was well prepared and I had dessert from here as well which was one of their blondies. The food is sourced locally and is organic and is home cooked and is a get it while it lasts kind of place. Which means the food is fresh all the time. I love this considering I’m not a big leftovers type of person. So it’s take out and they cater. There is a lot to choose from so you can get your variety. I am planning on eating here regularly. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and the staff is super friendly to deal with. Highly recommended!

Fresh, honest and pure. Lovely homemade preparations with quality ingredients. I hope they keep this up.

My friends in upper grand view just had Mimi’s cater their mother’s birthday party. I have to say everything was outstanding. The food was excellent — a huge cut above the usual catered fare. Everything was home made and delicious — and the only time I’ve eaten strawberry shortcake in the last 10 years! The guys who managed the event and served the food were so professional and attentive — and Steve was totally cute ;). Highly recommended.

I absolutely love Mimis Plate. The food is almost all organic and very fresh! From the coffee, to dessert and everything in between… you can’t go wrong. It’s a great place to stop in and get food for lunch/​dinner. I love the fact it’s like a food boutique… makes it personal and cozy. During my work day it’s a great place to stop in for a quick fix. The staff is always lovely and helpful. Mimi is so sweet and humble about how great her food is.

Go Here! The sandwiches and dips are awesome. Try any kind of chicken salad and you will be happy. Not giving it 5 stars bc I really haven’t loved any of the soup I have tried yet, but I will try again.

I’ve lived in Tappan for almost my whole life and I’m always searching for a new food place in my area to try. I must admit, I didn’t give Mimi’s Plate a second look for a couple of years. There was just something about the tiny little shop set up in the tiny strip of continuously changing businesses. I didn’t trust it. I’m happy to admit that I was wrong and silly for judging. Mimi’s Plate is AMAZING!
Once I walked in I felt comfortable, not intimidated as I usually feel going somewhere new. The girl behind the counter was very friendly and patient as I did not know what to order or where things were. She explained the daily specials and waited patiently while I decided what to try. I ordered an iced coffee and the Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and herb mayo on multigrain bread sandwich.
The décor is adorable, but tiny. There aren’t tables inside to eat, but I think there are 2 set up outside the store. It’s more of a take-​out place. They offer a variety of mixed salads, grilled veggies, and daily specials behind the counter, as well as baked treats that advertise being baked daily, which they probably are. There were two types of dips out for you to try with small pieces of fresh, crunchy baguette. The dips I tried were a spinach dip and the hummus. So Good!
My sandwich was delicious. Somehow it reminded me of very good sushi that I’ve had, even though there was no fish in my sandwich. Something about the herb mayo and avocado combination, with the crisp tomato and fresh crunchy lettuce, that transformed this average sounding sandwich to a whole other meal altogether. The bacon was crispy and was not greasy or chewy at all. It was a perfect BLAT. Also, they offer Truvia sugar, which I can never find at other coffee places around here. A++
Mimi’s prides themselves on organic, local ingredients and fresh, tasty food. The service is friendly and comfortable, and it’s food you can count on. The prices are SLIGHTLY higher than average quick stops, but you get what you pay for and that’s QUALITY. Try it, you WONT BE SORRY! I hope Mimi’s stays around for a while so I can try EVERYTHING!

Mimi’s has wonderful food. A true gem in Tappan! Her foods are gourmet, organic, fresh and tasty. Its not a sit down restaurant. Its more a order and take out place. However, she does have a small area if you want to sit and eat with a very small group. The curried chicken salad is awesome! There are daily soup, breakfast and lunch specials. There is always fresh baked biscuits, scones, cookies and sweet pound cakes. There are usually samples laid out to tempt you to taste. And once I taste, I usually buy. What she has in her counter display always changes, so there is always something new to whet your appitite. The down side is that Mimi’s is rather pricy. As much fun as I have picking out my tasty treats, I always wince when the total rings up on the register. So as long as you are willing to pay for quality, you know what to expect, you will enjoy.
Mimi also caters, so if you have a party or some special even she will make sure the food impresses your guest. She has done several parties for me and each one was a hit! Make sure you pay Mimi a visit if you haven’t! You won’t be sorry.
