Mimi's Cafe - Lobby - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino, California

The service at Mimi's is exceptional and the environment is calm and relaxed. The waitresses still hustle but they definitely don't make the service feel rushed. On our last visit, the Dubai chocolate pancakes were absolutely amazing! The portions were generous and with the chocolate factor being more than any expectations, I was able to enjoy them as leftovers. Grab some before they leave the menu, as they're a seasonal item. If you love chocolate, you won't be disappointed! read more

Everyone is amazing from the experienced to the new! Love David, Jose, Noe, management, and people in between! Very sincere and compassionate for customer service read more

Came a bit late tonight and was feeling a bit nostalgic since I haven't been here in 20+ years. Got the chicken pot pie, French onion soup and chicken tenders. Wife got the grilled salmon plate. Food was delicious! But the absolute highlight was our server Noah! Very accommodating and kind! After I told him I haven't had the Worms in dirt dessert since I was a kid, he hooked us up with a couple. What a stud! Definitely coming back, thanks Noah, you a G! read more

Mimi's Cafe - To go bread after breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chino, California

Your favorite Yelp correspondent and Mimi (of Mimi's Cafe) have enjoyed a long, lovely Parisian affair dating back to when I first discovered it in the early 90s. Fact: I may have once decorated my kitchen utilizing many of the French countryside concepts that Mimi's emblazoned. In the area, I dropped in for lunch yesterday. My server was Brianna, and she was nonpareil- Greeted me with a smile at every interaction, anticipated my need for frequent Diet Coke refills and a delight to be served by. Absolutely zero favoritism displayed just because she shares my beloved daughter's name. Wink. Pro Tip: If you're ever uncertain of what to order from Mimi's, and perhaps the heavier fare of Pot Roast Dinner or Tuscan Style Grilled Chicken doesn't strike your fancy, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the FRENCH QUARTER BURGER. Ditto for the world-class French Onion Soup, available both as a side (in a cup) and in a heaping bowl. The French Quarter Burger has been a go-to staple of mine at Mimi's for 35yrs. Thick, glassy ground beef encased within layers of melted gruyere cheese, crisp bacon, red onions, cold tomato/lettuce, creamy avocado and HALLMARK grilled garlic-parmesan sourdough bread! It's a revelation, as far as burgers go. And so filling I'd dare (professional eating champ) JOEY CHESTNUT to finish a whole burger at one sitting! The fries are reminiscent of the fries served by Smash Burger, unctuous and drizzled with shaved chives. Pro Tip #2: Mimi's is famous for her bread pudding!! Scratch-made, featuring whiskey sauce, raisins and freshly whipped cream. My late mother, may she continue resting in Paradise, ordered TWO bread puddings as her final sit-down restaurant meal, in the summer of 1997. Alas, feeling nearly stuffed following my French Quarter but craving a lighter dessert than Bread Pudding, I ordered their Muffin Sundae. You pinpoint any of their four in-house baked muffins (blueberry crumble, buttermilk spice, honey bran or carrot nut) and they'll serve it a la mode with drizzled caramel. I selected the latter and it was divine. Yelpers- You'll note today's review highlights a couple of items (the decadent, velvety French Onion Soup and their Bread Pudding) that I did not order, today. Trust this Yelp Elite Correspondent when I write, er, rave about both!! As I've had both dozens of prior visits. Why not 5 stars, you ask?! Because my fries arrived slightly lukewarm (I'm a stickler for hot fries!) and because Mimi's starter bowl of bread arrived with only French bread in it. Have they altered their policy amd no longer bring their delish carrot-nut Madeleines tableside?! L'horreur! The men's room was decently clean and stocked. In conclusion, I'd accord server Brianna 5 stars for service, the restaurant 4 stars for food/cleanliness and ambiance. Go, start your own Parisian affair with Mimi. You'll find her quite enchanting. read more

Tired restaurant. Its Sat night at 7:30 and Applebee's was packed, but not Mimi's. Here is why: it's a tired restaurant with slow service and sub par food portions and quality. Wife said the shrimp were the smallest she has seen on a skewer in any restaurant. Disappointing. Result: 4 tables with people, empty bar and a quiet restaurant. read more

Great service! Delvin was our server. We had great food and a great time. The salmon and the French onion soup were perfect!

Breakfast/brunch is delicious. Great and attentive servers. Chill vibes. Great spot to have coffee and mimosas.

We had an amazing breakfast at Mimi's today! We were undecided what we wanted to have so our waiter Deven, who was super attentive and kind.... Suggested the Birria omelette Birria at Mimi's?? Well I'm glad we ordered it, the meat was super tender and deliciously authentic including the dipping sauce. The pumpkin pancakes were my girl's favorite. Thanks again to Devine for the wonderful service and recommendation of the Birria . We will be back for more!!! read more

My husband and I enjoy eating at Mimi's but this time around was such a great experience I just had to write a review! Our sever Delvin was so wonderful! He was knowledgeable about the new menu items, offered great suggestions, super attentive to anything we needed, he was friendly and also very personable and funny! Next time we eat here we'll be asking for Delvin because it was such a nice time read more

Very mediocre food, as expected. Service was fantastic mid day Tuesday. I needed a place for a business meal that takes credit cards, has a full service waiter/waitress, quiet enough to have a conversation and close to the office. Checked off on all items. It is what it is. read more

I had such a great experience at Mimis cafe thanks to Julio, who truly went above and beyond. When i noticed something was off with my order-he stepped in right away to make it right. He is amazing and genuine. Not only did he fix the issue with the order quickly, he surprised me with a free pie as an apology. It was completely unexpected and incredibly thoughtful. You don't see service like that often in this day and age. Julio turned what could have been a major inconvenience into a reminder of why great customer service matters. If you visit Mimis Cafe, I hope you are lucky enough to be helped by him. I highly recommend! read more

While running early morning errands in the area we decided to stop for a quick bite to eat and have a cup of coffee. We decided to go to Mimi's since we just finished shopping at Target. Our server Humberto was amazing and very attentive. He kept our coffee cups filled and warm. I decided to order lunch for breakfast, a beef dip with a petite Caesar salad and my husband ordered a bacon,ham and sausage omelet which was good. The beef dip roll tasted like it was freshly baked and the roast beef was tender. It needed a little more flavor which I should have added the cheese and grilled onions for a slight up-charge. I only wish these extras were included with the sandwich as it would have given it so much more flavor and given the price of the sandwich it really should be included(how much does a slice of cheese and onions cost anyway??). Since it's been a while since we've been here we were glad to see they still included their yummy muffins with their omelettes. Always one of my husband's favorites!! My overall rating is a 31/2 but the service bumped it up to a "4". read more

I placed a catering order with Mimi's yesterday for a 9am lunch. The order arrived on time. everyone said the food was delicious. The food came very well presented. Would definitely use them again! read more

Big place. Felt kinda like an upscale Denny's. And there are many locations. They did make homemade corned beef brisket hash, which was delicious. But everything else was just OK. And they seemed to have a hard time making consistent eggs, or how they were requested. They have gluten free bread, for $2 more. I double checked that it was, but I'm still not convinced. Not because I got sick, but because it was rye, soft, and just as big as a normal bread slice (not tiny, which always is a bummer). And then when they brought my salad, it had croutons on it. To cut them a little slack, it was brunch, no reservation and still seated us immediately, were very nice and attentive, and my friends love it there. But I don't think I'd go again. They enjoyed their quiche and their bread pudding. I would definitely like more gluten free options and other allergens marked on the menu, etc. read more

Fast service. Delicious food and the people are very attentive. I like to go to a restaurant and feel recognized. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Thankfully it was not too full. Beautiful setting, as most of Mimi's are. Jori was our server and just like that she greeted us and asked us for our drink order. She was patient as my daughter was back and forth about our coffee. She helped us with our choice of meal as well. We asked her what is her recommendation of savory but me personally, I LOVE sweet. We got the steak Benedict with a side of pancakes. Cinnamon roll toast with eggs, turkey sausage and potatoes. And my son opted for a big juicy burger. Literally looked like it did in the menu. All of it was delicious and Jori made it just perfect with her positive attitude and attentiveness. I was very happy we chose to eat here for brunch. Will definitely be going back soon. I forgot to take pictures this time I will do my best to remember lol read more

We typically enjoy Mimi's and are regular customers, especially because David always provides wonderful service. However, today's visit was very different and left us disappointed. We were celebrating my bf's birthday , unfortunately it was not the best experience! Our server seemed very rushed, which affected the service throughout the meal. Items were placed abruptly on the table, bread fell off my plate and was almost put back on, and there were long waits when we requested help or to-go containers. My food also came burned and needed to be replaced, though the second plate was better. We understand busy days happen, but we felt overlooked and not well cared for this time. We hope our feedback helps improve the service, as we have enjoyed this restaurant many times before. read more

Amazing server Noah helped us out this morning after church , wait was short for a seat and Noah helped us with great customer service and excellent speed of service will be coming back and asking for his as a waiter again !! read more
