Service is not too bad. Limited staff on hand for a Tuesday afternoon. The restrooms need cleaning that's about the only negative. Food was good. read more

The absolute BEST dining experience I have had in years! Atmosphere charming and (get this) quiet enough that you could enjoy speaking with one's dining companions. The service was great and the food was so delicious that I can't quit thinking about it. Bottom line...going back tomorrow! read more

I ordered Mimi's Thanksgiving dinner to-go (for 8-10) and couldn't have been happier with the meal. It included everything needed, but the rolls. The turkey was nice and moist, and each of the side dishes were yummy too. Pecan and pumpkin pies tasted homemade. I would definitely order this family meal again . read more

My fiance and I went for a quick breakfast also we have never been there before. When we entered the restaurant we were not greeted, server didn't even say hi to us just asked how many and sat us without asking if we needed a coffee or water to start. Once we got our food, that took longer than it should it was bland and not presenting. Let's just say we won't be back. read more

This location though was a disappointment. Dirty floors and worn out facilities. Wine came with floating debris on top and had to be sent back. Way understaffed. Huge boxes assumed for Thanksgiving takeout were stacked by front door and made the place look like it was ready to move. Food is still pretty good. read more

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

We love their food. Service was good as well! We love their relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good food, reasonable prices and good service I enjoyed the Thanksgiving feast with the turkey and stuffing read more

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Always great food that feels like home. I'll admit, Mimi's isn't fancy or upscale, but it is certainly underrated. I've been coming to this location for years, and it has always been enjoyable! This last visit, the food was 4.5 stars. I had the chicken and quinoa salad. It was great with lots of toppings, but looked a little messy and had a ton of rough sliced romaine. Even though it wasn't very 'instagram worthy', it was delicious! I'd recommend asking for half lettuce so that you can enjoy the plethora of toppings (I picked about about half of the lettuce out and was plenty full off of the rest.) French onion soup was a nice pairing too. Not the best I've had, but still good! My mom had the quiche and she said she enjoyed it! She has been making quiches at home lately and wanted to compare, and said that it was very close to hers! The overall service was so delightful! Our server gave us plenty of time with the large menu, while checking on us the right amount of times so we never felt abandoned. She was ready to answer any questions we had and provided recommendations. We even had other servers who were walking by ask if we needed anything. Nowadays, that doesn't seem to be common practice in many restaurants, and I think that deserves 5 stars. If you're thinking of somewhere to grab a bite to Folsom, be sure to visit the Folsom Mimi's Cafe! Cheers! read more

The bread is DELICIOUS. Let me go off on the carrot raisin Madeline's they serve as part of their bread basket. HUGE FANS. in fact, when I was younger and was a regular at Mimi's (not this specific one) this is how I first found my love for carrot cake. I would go here and buy a bowl of their corn chowder and then eat all the bread and leave. I suggest you do that here but if you are here for a proper dinner, here is a proper review. The restaurant was less than half full when we arrived but they couldn't seat us due to lack of staff. Which is a wise choice because I don't want to be waiting around for my waiter to come and serve me. We didn't wait to long, perhaps 10-15 minutes. Now for the foooooooood: Corn chowder: the second thing redeemable about Mimi's. You expect chowder to be on the salty side because so many chains accidentally do it like that but NO NOT MIMI. It's not salty AT ALL and that's surprising! It was... PALATABLE!! Yay!! French Pot Roast: There's a picture of it in the menu (and one attached along with the beautiful bread) and it's basically pot roast on mash potatoes. The potatoes were normal but the roast was salty. Like real salty. It tasted as if someone had taken your parking spot that you were waiting 10 minutes for and then you kidnapped the person and started roasting them and then quit roasting them because you aren't a cannibal and then just ate a bowl full of salt. Yeah... the mash potato made it easier to eat but I mean really... it was salty. Meatloaf: This was different. The person who ordered it really liked it (which is good) but this isn't their review, it's mine and I say it was weird. It's not like any meatloaf you've eaten before. It's like... REAL solid. Processed solid. Like you know the cartoon pet food where the owner is opening a can of (let's say) dog food and then wiggles it out of the container and it's just solid? Kinda like that. It had a little funky taste to it but otherwise tasted normal. Shepard's pie: Unfortunately I can't say much as I only had a spoonful of it but it is a standard pie. But a little salty. It's like they were discussing in the kitchen "Chef! We have a lack of flavor in all of our dishes except the chowder, what do we do?" And the chef replied "SALT IT!" As if they were trying to exterminate vampires?! (Wait... conspiracy theory: All the salty foods at chains are just trying to catch vampires. (I'm coming for your brand Shane)). Other than that, the food came out suspiciously fast. Like it was a McDonald's. That fast (kinda). The only reason it got 3 stars is becuase of their carrot raisin Madeline's and corn chowder. Otherwise it'd be a 2 Stars. Sorry! read more
