Can I give leas than 1 star Came in and was given the run around Difficult to get anyone's attention A long time to get seated and served too Failed my birthday muffin too They used to be so good What happened? So disappointing

This are chilaquiles good but no taste at all tortilla to  soft and no taste

Service was so soo good except for good quality My plate look good but the taste wasn't . I order chilaquiles, tortilla was to soggy is like tortilla is just been there for ever and they just add any kind tomatoes sauce with chicken on top no taste at all and any hardy empty only four tables in the area

T bone with rice and green beans

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.

Crab Shrimp & Bacon Pasta

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!

Two egg breakfast
Kenneth C.

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.

Molten Lava Cake

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.

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.

The new cookie butter muffin is delicious!!

Had an amazing experience with Tony!! Good was amazing! Service was on point!! It had a lovely nice and calm ambiance.

Pot Roast
Kay L.

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

Bon appétit #DowneyBitches

When your best friend and mom finds out that you're going to have a brain surgery , they picks you up and takes you to Mimi's Café for breakfast . There's truly nothing that Mimi's café honey Bran muffin can't fix. OK well maybe not a brain aneurysm but seriously it can fix everything else ! Been a loyal Customer for years just because of that honey bran muffin. All Downey girls love the honey bran muffin.!

There is now a sign on the building, but it reminds me more of an Italian restaurant than a winery. Still not the easiest place to find, as there is no signage at either driveway to let you know you're there, and it's located behind the SC Fuels gas station, in the back of a large parking lot of an industrial complex. Once again, Katarina poured for us and provided us with some info on the new releases. The wines are consistently good, and I highly recommend that you spend the extra $5 for the wine and cheese pairing. They also have a lunch deli offering 5 sandwiches for $10 ea., with addons like chips ($2.50), soda ($2), or a glass of wine ($5). Of course, there's the market area which has their delicious cheeses, cookies, pasta, as well as many other goodies. Nice to have a Paso Winery right in our backyard...check them out!
