It was a busy Saturday, and we needed to stop for breakfast to refuel. Mimi's used to be a decent place to grab a bite, although we haven't been in many years. We were surprised that the place hadn't been updated in what looks to be 20+ years! Everything looked tired and worn. The food was unremarkable. Service was slow, even though it wasn't busy. Our server was nice and checked on us several times. We enjoy nostalgia in general, but what we experienced was just depressing. I'm surprised they're still in business here. read more

My husband and I enjoyed an excellent breakfast today! My fresh corned beef hash with grilled onions, peppers, eggs and potatoes was fantastic! They also offer gluten free toast for the win! My husband's Brioche French toast was amazing! Service and ambiance were outstanding! We'll be back! read more

This place is very pricey. It feels like you're walking into a dungeon. It's very dark gloomy needs to be remodeled very pricey and the food is just generic much improvement in this restaurant as well needed and they need to start making more fresh food. read more

IT AMAZING The service was really nice. The food was great. A shout out to our server John. He is kind and amazing. Thank you!!! read more

I stopped by for dinner with a friend and loved the atmosphere. The Turkey Pesto Ciabatta was excellent and even better was our server Ashley. She did an outstanding job of taking care of us and providing attentive service even during the rush. Very kind. We will be coming back! read more

Ashley was my server today! I got a salad that she recommended and it was incredible!!! She was so very attentive and never let my ice tea get low. She even upsold me on a dessert! I couldn't recommend a better server.. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great service And quite accommodating . My grandson wanted his hash brown potatoes and the potatoes available were a great substitute... we will order them again. read more

Joseph was a great server! The meal was good. And the restaurant was clean. We enjoyed our lunch.

I took my two young kids to Mimi's and we had a great experience. I haven't been to Mimi's since I was a teenager and I don't remember having such great service then as we did with our server Ashley. She was super kind (and funny!) and my kids loved her. I always take note if servers engage or even acknowledge my kids and she definitely stood out in my experience! Ashley was very quick and efficient and was very attentive to our needs. Great food selection for my kids and myself and delicious. read more

I had a flat tire a couple of weeks ago and decided to walk over to Mimi's to wait for my car to get done. The manager greeted me and was very kind. I ordered the Salmon. It was prepared with teriyaki sauce and some veggies and rice. It was delicious and the service was very good. I felt welcomed and sometimes that is not the case when dining alone. I will be returning to this location again soon. read more

Good food and great service! Ashley took excellent care of us! We will be back soon! Highly recommend! read more

We waited to be seated over 3 mins, no one even greeted us. We weren't the only ones waiting to be seated.

Mediocre service. The omlet, which was dry and tasteless, was supposed to be served with sourdough bread but they were out (out of sourdough when it's part of several of the dishes' descriptions on the menu) which wasn't mentioned until the meal was delivered, but then my partner's avocado toast was served on sourdough . So I questioned that and the waiter said, "Oh, I'll see if they have some in the kitchen"...huh? Isn't that where the bread is kept? Had to wait too long for water after asking for it. Had to wait too long for the bill after asking for it. Too expensive for what it is. read more

Excellent food and service that was just as great. CJ (I believe that was her name) took care of each request perfectly. Wait times are reasonable and the location itself is well-maintained. read more

We thought we would try dinner at Mimi's and we were pleasantly surprised with the wonderful food and service. Kamila, our server, was very pleasant and courteous. We will definitely come back. read more

Thank you for the efficient service Joseph and thank you to the kitchen for the yummy food !!

The food was great and the service was even better. I saw one person working at dinner time and she knocked it out of the park.

It's been several years since we have been here. We decided to try breakfast today. I ordered the Quiche Florentine and hubby ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with a muffin. The l staff is very friendly on this busy Sunday afternoon. They answered all of our questions about menu items and checked in on us in a timely manner. We liked both of our breakfasts and the muffins are very very good! We always forget about their baked goods, but not this time! You can actually order a 2 pack for $5.49, a 4 pack for 9.99 or a 12 pack for $21.99. read more

Nice return to the chain since many years ago. Not for lack of liking Mimi's but life changes that I haven't been at a Mimi's in a while. Last we as in Tri-Valley East Bay Area. Met a friend here yesterday and the experience was great. As always, the exterior or the building is immediately identifiable by the cottage look. Adorable! In the nice weather we had, the outside patio was inviting. However, my friend wanted to indoors today. The inside seating is divided into the front area where hostess station is as well as dining rooms to the right and straight ahead. It was nice to see a good selection on the sizable menu but not the 100 page tome some restaurants have to try and do everything. Breakfast is all day, by the way. I chose the Tuscan Chicken. Cut tender chicken meat with a ton of vegetables all cooked perfect (crisp, not soggy), on a bit of mashed potato, and a light sauce. OMG! I was in heaven. And the Triple Berry Iced Tea...well, I had three! So glad we went as I tend to drive by often and forget it is there. That won't be happening again as I will be back often. read more

I work nearby and I always come here for the atmosphere and service. J'adore Joe, he's usually in the bar area and he's hilarious. Great server. read more

Really fantastic place to grab a bite to eat with warm inviting staff. Walked in for a quick breakfast while waiting on an appointment, and was greeted by the host and waitress. Ordered the Pain Perdu With Mixed Berries, and it was delicious. If you don't appreciate sweet breakfast foods though, this may not be for you. Definitely a positive experience and would go back again. read more

It'll be a sad day when Vicki leaves, her service is always so wonderful. I'll shed tears as I slowly sip on one of those Bloody Maries to get me through the heartache. read more

i went to Mimi's Cafe at e bidwell in Folsom after church with my sister the server was really great food was amazing will be going again best service I ever received read more

Food wasn't spectacular but also wasn't bad. Although our sever tall Mexican guy was very rude from the beginning one person of our group wasn't served till after the rest of the group was finished with their food. After all that he looked at me and saw I didn't tip because the other person in my party did and he yelled at me for not tipping. This is totally unacceptable and totally inappropriate for a server. read more

Our server, Alejandro was welcoming and efficient. He made sure our coffee was full and plates removed after eating. The food was great too. We had an egg, white veggie omelette and bacon, mushroom and brie omelette. Alejandro brought our muffins before the meal, which is how Mimi's trains them to do. Nice vibe in the restaurant and Alejandro made it a very nice meal! read more

Had lunch with friends yesterday. Food tasted wonderful and was even a feast for the eyes. Service was phenomenal. Will go back soon!!

So most eating spots close early in this area. I walk in thinking it surely must be closed. I spot a waitress. I look around and no one is in sight. I ask her if they are open, she offers to seat me. I have not been to a Mimi's cafe since the 90's. I ordered a French pot roast, salad and an arnold palmer. The pot roast was good and the portion healthy. I can't complain. Needless to say being the only customer in the restaurant, service was awesome haha. read more

Our breakfast was good and the pumpkin spice muffin along with the blueberry muffin eas a great change from toast. Glen, our server was quick and efficient with a great sense of humor. We would return for sure read more

I was in town visiting my father and decided to take him out to eat, and boy were we in for a treat. The space was so adorably decorated.

The charm is gone, we had rotten cucumbers in the salad w/rotten lettuce pieces, sloppy plates, underwhelming flavorless hamburgers, overcooked grilled cheese, kids dirt cup dessert was no where near as advertised, gross dirty floors, dusty window ledges. Only one poor fellow was doing most all of the jobs as host, waiter, busser, hardly saw him. Took the grandkids for pancakes, but everything about this location was a horrific disaster, they need to start over or close the doors, I can't believe the bill We paid for the disgusting food, such a bummer. read more

Had excellent service by Tricia. She was very attentive & nice. Will come back just because of her!

Tricia was such a friendly server and was great at making sure we had what we needed. Thse food was great. Will be again.

Went to Mimi's today for breakfast. Servers were good. But when our first cup of coffee was served, it was lukewarm. Drinkable but just warm. When the server came to refill our cups she DID refresh with hot coffee. But the food! It was terrible. Wife ordered a blt on sourdough. It was served on white bread masquerading as sourdough. Thankfully, though, it's hard to ruin bacon so her sandwich was passable. But I ordered the Mikes Hot honey chicken and waffles from special menu. The waffles were dry and tasted like they were prepackaged and had a processed flavor. The chicken was crusted with something that made the meat hard--and hard to eat. It had no taste. If there was any honey on it, hot or not, you wouldn't know it. So when the server came over to ask how everything was, I had to tell her. It was terrible. For the first time ever, I had to tell someone to take my food away. Thankfully they didn't charge for my meal and actually comped us two muffins as an apology. But even the muffins were terrible. Again that prepackaged, process flavor. Now usually I will give a diner a second chance, but the bottom line is this: I will not be eating at Mimi's Cafe again. read more

We have been coming to Mimi's for years and always enjoy it! We especially appreciate the service Ashley provides and how friendly she is!

We decided to give Mimi's a try while in Folsom shopping. It's been years since I've gone to Mimi's as I recall a lot of changes in the menu (not as good). This Mimi's was pretty empty but we were greeted right away by the person I assume was the manager based on how he was dressed. Service overall was pretty slow. The manager seemed to be the one running around helping people. We opted to sit outside and he told us someone would be out shortly to help us. No one came out but not too long after the same manager came out and took our order. The server only came out to bring our food after we ordered and to bring us the check. The manager was super polite and nice. We ordered the French dip sandwich with fries (forgot to take a picture). It was pretty bland but the fries seems crisp and fresh. We didn't hate it but we wouldn't order it again. The Turkey pesto ciabatta was pretty tasty. I feel like I've had it here before years and years ago but I was still fairly happy with it. The piled on the baby greens but the pesto itself was not as prominent. This again came with fries which were good. I also ordered the buttermilk spice muffins to go. I remember them being REALLY good before. I tried one when I got home. The bottom of the muffin was over cooked and a bit dry and the flavor just wasn't as strong as it I remember it before. read more

Trish was a great server and food was amazing. Fast service and nice environment. Sad they are closing.

Our family has been going to Mimi's for quite a few years and everything seems to have gone downhill unfortunately. We went today and sat in the front greeting room for about 15 minutes or more and nobody ever showed up to seat or greet us. We had to go find somebody to let them know we are wanting to be seated and have been there for quite a while. After finally being seated, the service was not good and very slow. There weren't even any customers in the room. We were seated straight ahead as you walk in the front door, so it was not crowded at all. I ordered a French dip sandwich and it was probably one of the worst ones I've ever had. It wasn't even semi close to what it looks like on their menu. Very little meat (I would say about 2 1/2 ounces of meat on the whole sandwich) with dry bread and the Ajou dipping sauce was barely warm. Our other meal was missing a couple items we had to ask for also. The service and food has gone way downhill and I'm sad to say, we will not be going back. I'm not sure if they had a manager on duty or if they even have one. Someone is responsible for making sure all of the food goes to the customer the way it should be sent to the customer as in hot for hot meals and presentable with portions that match the price they're selling those items for. If I was the manager the plates they sent us today would not be acceptable and I would need to have a talk with the chef or line cooks about what's going on. I have owned two restaurants and have worked in the food industry. This is not acceptable for the customers. read more
