In addition to being Thanksgiving, today was my wife and my anniversary. Two days ago I made a phone reservation for two carry out Thanksgiving meals to be picked up at 4:15. At 4:10 I pulled into their almost empty parking lot. The restaurant was dark with a sign on the front door: "We are closed. Sorry for the inconvenience." Another customer arrived and he was equally flummoxed. Mimi's had already charged the meals to our cards but no meals were to be had. My wife contacted another Mimi's and was told our restaurant "had run out of food" and had closed. No one bothered to contact us or leave an explanatory note. This is inexcusable. Congratulations, Mimi's; you ruined both Thanksgiving and our anniversary in one fell swoop. read more

Great Sunday brunch. Went here with my son who is an older teen. We had actually just been at another restaurant closer to home where we had to wait for a table. But when we were seated, that place had tables pushed so close together there was no privacy, tables were extremely small AND the menu didn't even have blueberry pancakes. Who doesn't serve that for breakfast? So we moved ourselves to Mimi's which we love. It was worth driving a few more miles. Our server was perfect and our food was excellent. The mocha lattes tasted as amazing as they were presented. There really could not have been anything else we could have asked for unless it were free. HA! read more

Wonderful food and service from our server Enrique! Had the cinnamon roll French toast, definitely the best thing on the menu.

First time we stopped in to Mimis in years and years at desert ridge. What a fantastic lunch and server. Enrique was so polite and the service was excellent. We came at 115 and it was a perfect time. Portions were very good! Atmosphere was great!! Stop by and give them business! read more

Great service! Enrique was amazing! it was our first time here and he took great care of us! Great food as well!

We dinned at Mimi's Cafe for a Father's Day celebration, the food and our server Monsy were excellent. We will be returning there soon.

Love this place! Great service and nice cozy atmosphere! My friends liked the 5$ mimosas and loved the pancakes. Would suggest to other friends who want a nice comfortable setting and a wide selection of food. The service was great even though they were busy. If you have time and like talking this will work for you. read more

Went here Aug 2011 ordered the grilled meatloaf with seasonal veggie and mashed potatoes. Time from order to delivery was 21 minutes, a bit on the long side especially considering the place was 85% empty. My GF ordered the small steak and salad. There was gravy poured all over my plate except for the veggies. The gravy tasted like cheap, from a can, dark brown gravy. The potatoes looked like instant from a box. The combination of the two was not good. And the gravy on the meatloaf was also a non-starter. Personally I would have preferred ketchup on the 2 loaf slices and butter on the mashed. My GF's salad arrived completely missing any dressing. She said the veggies were so limp and lifeless she ate one piece and left the rest go to the trash. Her steak was so small it was about 5 bites and gone. Our wait service was decent, otherwise our experience was poor. We probably will never return. read more

A wonderful environment and great food. We love it here and have never had less than a great experience. The Chicken Pot Pie is soooo worth the wait. read more

Looking for a pleasant yummy breakfast? No other place to come. We had Jesse for a server and not once did we have to wait on him- he was on it and our food came out perfect!! Thank you for making our morning!!! read more

We've come here three times in the last month. Each time hoping the last time was just a bad day for the staff. Unfortunately, not only did the quality of the service decline with each visit but the quality of the food did as well. The table we were sat at was dirty, the floor under the table had a pile of salt or sugar about a 1/4 inch tall under it. The food was either over cooked or ice cold when we finally received it. It's just unfortunate this family favorite has declined to the point where we won't be going back. read more

Outstanding service! First time ever coming here and was all around a great experience!

The manager, a female older, larger woman kicked my kids out of the waiting area where they had grabbed an open table and began eating their In-N'-Out but, apparently this once proud family owned restaurant has gone completely corporate and can't handle the marketing & branding confusion from the bags of food they were eating. Very rude! Completely lost my appetite. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

It took me 15 minutes to find out it was an hour wait for one person. They were not busy and they were rude. First person ignored me and the second acted angry that I was there. Skip this place! Lousy customer attitude and service. read more

We visited Mimi's today and had a lovely time! The service was fast and the server, Jesse, was very attentive. I got the egg and bacon croissant which was delicious and enough to leave me full and satisfied. I will definitely be coming back here in the future. read more

I can finally go ahead and give this place five stars because they have Wi-Fi. Long waits don't matter when you have Wi-Fi. your guests that are with you that bother you don't bother you anymore when you have Wi-Fi. life is just better when you have Wi-Fi. The food is good and came out fresh the waiter took care of business. moderately priced so I'm happy Disregard any spelling errors or weird text as I use Siri to do my reviews. read more

Went here yesterday for a late lunch. The service was horrible!!!! Food took forever. When we finally got it, my friends corn chowder was not hot. We needed another place setting of silverware. Requested from waitress. She never got it. My friend had to get up and get one from another table. Needed refills on drinks. We did the 4 for $12.99. Disappointed no French silk pie. This is not our first bad experience here, but it will be our last. Unacceptable!!!! read more

Came with my parents and toddler son on a nice Friday morning. Good was excellent and Monica gave us wonderful service! We love coming here and will be back soon! read more

This Mimi's apparently has gone down hill. From the young waitress who seemed bothered by having to serve people to the cold food that was served, all 4 dishes that were ordered. Definitely not a place to hit on a Friday night, and it's only 6pm with only 10 tables of customers. The manager on duty was just fine. read more

Had a lovely lunch trio, salad and sandwich. Zuly was very courteous and attentive. Everything was great.

Perfect date night for me and my wives! Left the kids at home and enjoyed a delicious fresh meal in a beautiful environment. We love the tuna melt and grilled cheese! And the bread is to die for. The waitress was very kind and helpful. Such a loving and accepting environment love this LGBTQ-friendly spot! We will definitely be back. read more

Sunday Brunch was amazing here! $12 for a delicious mimosa flat, I'm there. Amazing service and yummy food. Great place for brunch

We went for Sunday brunch and I was very disappointed. We had a table of 8 and had painfully slow and surly service by a waitress who appeared to be badly hungover. We suffered through missing parts of our meal, no refills, no check up to see how things were, and a long, long wait for our bill. Sadly the bad service wasn't the worst part. I had a sad turkey Reuben with no flavor and a soggy bun. I tried both Thousand Island and Blue Cheese dressing to save the sandwich but neither worked since they were even more lacking in flavor. Salads had little meat, toast was burnt, and the amazing muffins tasted like bad supermarket muffins. My whole meal i kept staring at the In & Out Burger across the parking lot wishing I was there spending way way less on better food. Tons of other good places around here, this isn't one. Move on to one of the others. read more

Nothing like Mimosa's and breakfast with the people you love @ Mimi's Cafe!!! always my first choice!!!

I took my entire family in the Mimi's for dinner tonight and the experience was excellent! Our server Athena was great and the food was delicious. The manager on duty made sure to stop by several times to check on us and could not have been more attentive. Awesome experience, thanks Mimi's! read more

Me and my family love mimis!! Monica is our favorite server and always makes our visit 10x better. The mimosas are fire and the muffins are exquisite‍ read more

Everything on the menu is good. The French onion soup is thick with thick slices of onion. All their pastas are decent, the sauce could use some thickening. Clam chowder and brocolli cream are really, really good. The blueberry bread is moist and crumbly. You'll probably pay too much for soup and sandwich so for just a couple bucks more, get an entrée. I like that they have hot tea bags on each table that come with all these flavors, like raspberry. At this location, the waitress misunderstood and thought my dad was asking for a la carte instead of the combo. As a result she didn't bring out the fries, but 10 minutes later, we had the fries. Only downside to this location is that my dad almost got mugged in the same parking lot (not on this day, when he was alone). Since it's located in Desert Ridge, this can be expected and also this branch can be hard to find in such a huge plaza. read more

First impression I'm sold Great service for being busy. I liked our smoothie and our hot meals but the muffin I got wasnt the best. good coffee and love the decor. and for as packed as it was it was quiet. read more

Mimis cafe has a french decór and a dimmed-lit atmosphere. I felt like it was raining outside (when it wasn't) and I had that cozy, lets order a cocktail and see where the day goes kind of vibe. I ordered the eggs benedict. Really good! The yolk was runny like I like it, and the ham and potatoes pulled all the delicious flavors together while the biscuit was soft enough to absorb my leftover yolk!!! Nommies! The only thing I didn't love was our server, she was nice, but real quiet with no engagement. It was my first experience here so i'll give it another try! I will be back for the benedict, that wasn't overpriced and maybe for sunday morning cocktails. I'm pretty sure there was a sign that said all day happy hour! That's right up my alley! ;) read more

See all

Absolutely awesome! I can't say enough about the food, service and ambience. After countless mediocre restaurants, you forget what really good food and service are. From the first moment I walked in the restaurant I was greeted in French. The waiter Donna was exceptionally professional, kind and knowledgeable. The flavor of the food woke up my taste buds. The manager came over and greeted me and welcomed me to the restaurant. I can't believe restaurants like this still exist. Thank you! read more

Had an issue with my meal tonight. Our waitress Jessica, was quick to respond and gave us excellent service. I wouldn't try the French dip, but everything else was good. Service by Jessica was great. read more

This is quickly becoming my go-to spot for breakfast when in town for business. If you get there early (6-7am) you will find an empty dining room and no one to swat you. Wait, it will be worth it. Once you are seated, the food is very good and the service is quick and attentive. If you enjoy cold smoked salmon, their omelet and eggs benedict with salmon are both delicious. read more

Cute place, nice menu, friendly staff yet the place confuses the hell out of me. I was craving crepes after seeing the item on their online menu...what I did not care for wa seeing that they were filled with orange marmalade cream cheese... So I asked the server if I could have the crepes with the mixed berries and strawberry puree instead and she said that the crepes were already made and pre-filled. Well that's awfully odd as the menu states "Made to Order Crepes"...so I asked her again and she checked with the kitchen and they were able to make the crepes just the way I wanted them. I know...lots of drama for nothing. My friend and I waited a rather long time for anyone to come to our table to get our drink order...However, when someone finally came...we got our drinks after a few minutes and our food came in no time at all. The food was tasty and the orange juice was great. All in all, it was okay but only three stars in my book. read more

Love Mimi's! The food is always wonderful, hot and consistent. We don't live in the area any longer but decided to stop in for breakfast the other day. Just as we remembered. GREAT! The server Monica did an amazing job... Very nice and took good care of us! We also had a chance to meet the manager Michael. He really knows how to be a team leader! It's not very often you see that in managers! Great Job Mimi's! We will be back soon! read more

I had a great experience at Mimi's Cafe. I ordered the Eggs Benedict breakfast and it was amazing! The server, Monica was very personable!

I don't usually write Yelp reviews because I don't care that much but man oh man this place was a mess and a half! We waited an hour and a half to be sat on Mother's Day when the hostess told us 20-30 minute wait. They advertised online and on their menu in person that there was alcohol. Either they forgot to renew their liquor license or they got it taken away but they were not serving alcohol on Mother's Day! The Hostess gave us the wrong menus and provided no silverware until we asked. I don't blame any of the staff as it was obvious everyone was stressed and trying their best but, the entire establishment was disorganized and the environment did not facilitate a good time for its guests. I feel bad for every party (guests and staff) that have passed through this place. read more
