Great place to go for breakfast. They have a good selection of breakfast items, I've had a few different ones over the years and they are generally all really good. Their muffins are fresh and delicious. Service is fantastic, our server was very friendly and attentive. Bathrooms were pretty clean as was most of the restaurant. Atmosphere is also nice and welcoming. Overall, very nice spot to have breakfast. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Front - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

I want to start by saying they're a breakfast spot and I dined at Mimi's Cafe for dinner unplanned (it was raining and I was nearby.) I decided to try their dinner menu since I've enjoyed their breakfast in the past. Well, their dinner is just not it. I don't recommend it. Also, the bathrooms need major maintenance. Even my six year old mentioned how dirty they were. Anyway, would I go back? Yes, only for breakfast and they should really update and clean their restrooms. read more

Great food and service . Our server Sean was very attentive and pleasant. The great food quality and service is the reason we always return to Mimis Cafe . I have dined at this location for over 25 years and I always have a positive experience. The french onion soup is delicious. All the servers are always outgoing and ready to accommodate my food order if needed . Hold the mayo, etc.. Thank you Mimis for always giving me a pleasant dining experience. read more

I came here for lunch with a friend. It wasn't too hard to find parking. However, we had to wait for a table since it seems there wasn't too many employees although there were plenty of tables. Service was good although it was a little slow. The seating was a little tight. We ordered the Crab, Shrimp & Bacon Pasta and Chicken Pot Pie. Both were delicious. There was so much pasta that I was stuffed by the time we were done. Very great spot for lunch with great company! read more

This review is based on a catering order for two pans of mashed potatoes and one pan of green beans. I placed the order online the day before and selected a pickup window of 3:00-3:15 PM. I arrived at 3:17 PM, only to find that my order wasn't ready. The hostess checked with the kitchen and came back to tell me that the kitchen manager, Jesus, would start preparing it at that moment. I was confused and frustrated--why wasn't the order prepared in advance for the scheduled pickup time? The pans came out one by one: first the mashed potatoes, then the green beans about five minutes later, and finally the second pan of mashed potatoes a few minutes after that. Altogether, I waited roughly 15 minutes for items that should have been ready upon arrival. These sides were for a potluck for a group of high school students, and the delay caused me to arrive nearly 20 minutes late. This experience was disappointing and unacceptable. Mimi's needs to do better with fulfilling scheduled catering orders. read more

Good value for breakfast. Service is good. Try the buttermilk spice muffin, cut in half and spread butter ooooffffff... soft, buttery and melts in your mouth. Pain Purdue bfast comes w an orange creme French toast w berry toppings; delicious. The orange creme is not overpowering you might not even taste it and this order comes w eggs and a side of protein. The bacon perfect; crunchy but not all over. The ham was thick and juicy everyone's fav right. Ambiance is a French bakery feel. Wait is usually 20 min or less. read more

I love the look inside. Felt like a little cottage but super spacious and a lot of tables. Good for large groups. Our waitress, Darlene, was awesome. She was able to help us order as the menu is so big and everything looks delicious! She kept our drinks filled and constantly checked on us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. She was super positive and I just love her energy. I had the bacon avocado omelete, pan per due stuffed french toast and cookie butter muffin. So delicious! I am so full and happy! read more

Mimi's Cafe - The new cookie butter muffin is delicious!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

So much food to choose from! I love the seasonal menus too. Love the $7 mimosas and the sweet plates for breakfast. Only one thing to point out, some savory dishes may have a little too much salt for me like the salmon and onion soup. Other than that, the place is very cute inside. Love all the French vibes and service was quick and waiter was kind. Parking can be a bit challenging during busy days but doable. read more

Pot Roast is not the same anymore. It's more like a Vegetable Beef stew with Mashed Potatoes. I guess that's why they are calling it French Pot Roast The Pot Roast used to be served as a big mountain of Beef that would be so tender that you just pull apart with your fork to eat it. But now the meat is almost shredded and drowned in an overflow of Vegetables and dark gravy. Smaller portion of Beef but the price isn't way over the top. It's a 3 course meal for approximately $30 ... The bread is still the BEST thing ever! The flavor of the Beef and gravy is more bland than it used to be. I noticed the crowd of patrons has even changed. The ambiance reminded me of going to see my grandma in her elderly housing complex. So, it really gave off safe, comfy and grandparent vibes. I love it! Overall, the meal wasn't bad but will NEVER get this again Next time I think I'll get the RibEye read more

Mimi's Cafe - cappuccino - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

It was my first time here, we were around the area and decided to give it a try. The food was great, service was amazing. Tony was on it since the beginning and gave us lots of time to look at the menu and answered all of our questions. He kept coming over and bringing us stuff without us asking so I loved it! The place is pretty big and it's a pretty quiet setting which is perfect for conversations. I would definitely come back again! read more

Just heads-up...if you order an extra shot of espresso on their cappuccino, it's going to be $5.29 more, which brings it to over $11 for the drink and over $12 after taxes. Their cappuccino is more like steam milk and not worth ordering without the extra shot. They have absolutely no idea how to price it as it's way more expensive than even Starbucks. read more

My friend and I had such a wonderful experience at Mimi's Café thanks to our server, Kaylee. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She checked in on us at just the right times, kept our drinks full, and made excellent menu suggestions that we loved. Kaylee's friendly personality and genuine care really made our meal feel special. It's rare to find someone who strikes the perfect balance of professionalism and kindness, but she absolutely does. Our food was great, but her service was what made the visit exceptional. If you're heading to Mimi's Café, in Downey, California, I highly recommend asking for Kaylee--you won't be disappointed! read more

They are so so nice. Ordered a buttermilk spice muffin but they didn't have, so they were so kind to replace it w 2 (two) muffins ! Also the food was good read more

I love coming to Mimi's. The muffins are always fresh and the menu has a great variety of choices. I've had salads and sandwiches and never disappointed. The music playing was enjoyable and not overpowering. Darlene was a great server and checked on us often. I'll be back. read more

Fast service the staff is great! The food takes some time, but they try to make sure that the entire table gets their food at the game time. The pot roast was a little salty, but that's expected for a French chain like this. The French onion soup isn't bad they use a lot of cheese. Out favorite things to get is the carrot rain muffins/ loafs. They are the best warm. It makes a great snack or appetizer for the table. The restaurant is overall pretty quiet. There is a lot of room for big parties and even a private room on the side. read more

The service was great but I threw up all the food 3 hours later. What a bad experience. Food poisoning...

Came in with my son (7) for brunch, was seated right away, once the waitress came over and we provided our drink choice she returned with strawberry lemonades that were not good to me, I asked for a sprite and was told all they have was coke products, I declined and opted for nothing to drink. Towards the end of our meal the waitress came and said , "guess what, we have sprite", she further explained that it was in a box in the back and is in a bottle, I said ok because it was in a bottle. When she returned to the table with the drink it was in a glass, which lead me to believe they're pouring 2L sprite bottles in the back.. I used to come to this location a lot years ago but now I see why I stopped.. I wish them nothing but the best but as for me, I won't be returning.. When we arrived the place was basically empty with no patrons. read more

Food was amazing and our waiter was so kind his name is Tony he is a cool guy.

One star because I'm 8 months pregnant, came for my first time and 50 minutes into being sat down for breakfast and no waters, my food is not here, but yet my "hot chocolate" made it. It's not even packed to begin with. I rather have gone somewhere else. I cannot believe the insane wait time, and it's only a table of 2. It's insane to wait this long for food. Not only that, there's no update from the waiters. Nothing. Customer service is mediocre. Parking here is also horrible. Food was 4/10 nothing out of the ordinary. Sad for me because I won't come again. read more
