Mimi's Cafe - French Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Pretty much what I expected! Polly's was full of people, Keno's was full of people, Kimmy's was full, flappy jacks was busy, Woody's was busy... like okay, I'll give Mimi's a shot for brunch, I haven't been here in at least 15 years? Anyways, my husband said we should try it. We were greeted by a nice person, and then the server took us to our table. We sat down and she scolded a busser in front of us as she was taking our table's drink order -- it was awkward. I asked for her opinion on the food, we ordered... she said she didn't try those items, which is fine but not helpful. But no prob! Food came out, and well, everything was lukewarm, like our food sat out for awhile. I didn't complain in person because I just wanted to eat and get out. My water was never refilled, I got one cup of water the whole time... my son's chicken tenders were very tough/rubbery and his fries were hard as a rock, he normally loves fries, he ate 3-4 maybe. Mac and cheese for my other kid was fine and weirdly the only hot meal (probably microwaved), and my salmon Benedict was pretty tasty just borderline cold, potatoes were greasy. The room next to us the ceiling was leaking water into their carpet (it was raining today) and it just makes me wonder how moldy this place is, not to mention the bathrooms were also very dirty. It was mid, I probably won't be back. Definitely better places to spend your money but if every other place is busy, this will do if you want to be waited on. Just expect this. read more

Server was lovely she was very sweet. No complaints. Place was clean. We were seated quickly. Where the review cuts 3 stars was the food. Fryer was down so nothing fried. Both corn chowder and tomato basil soup were lovely. Kids mac and cheese was okay, just Kraft. Turkey dinner was fine but the gravy was SALTY. The sandwich...wow. Just plopped a ball of flavorless chicken salad on burnt bread. I requested garlic on my broccoli but didn't get any. The broccoli tasted fine though and cooked well. Bread was rock hard and butter was an interesting honey butter. Butter toffee cake thing was SWEET read more

This place used to be packed on weekends but every time I am here it's average to slow. The food is okay as in good I suppose but not noteworthy or sensational. Some things are salty and others are too bland. Just seems like there was no initiative in putting it together. As always it has that French Cafe feel and they kept it rather the same when they've had remodels. I've been coming here for decades, so I know. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Bread Pudding for 4 - French Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I Really like your onion soup but it used to be much better when you had onions in it rather than just broth. Poor quality food is the easiest way to lose customers. read more

Enjoyed a delicious brunch with my mom on Mother's Day. The place was chaotic to say the least, even with a reservation, but attitude is everything. You could definitely see that they were short staffed, but EVERYONE working today had a pleasant attitude and kept apologizing for the delays. The food was great! It took a long time to get ordered and served (1hour), but it was hot and very good! read more

Not from this area and was originally going to chili's but the wait was 40 mins long. I saw minis across the street and immediately thought free bread! We headed over and the kids and us had 4 baskets. I was happy their food quality hasn't changed from what I remembered. We got the cinnamon roll French toast, French dip and grilled chicken pesto on a ciabatta bread. Food was good and my 6 year old ened up eating half my sandwich and 1 cinnamon roll toast! Next time I'm ordering the kids the French dip to share. Potatoes au gratin was creamy and potatoes were cooked right and the quinoa ferro and brown rice medley was good as well, but has no seasoning (probably for people trying to make healthier choices). Cinnamon roll toast was sweet as expected with a lot of Cinnamon gooey sauce swirled into bread. Good portions, happy with service, nice calm atmosphere. I wish mimis had more locations. read more

Went for breakfast after blood test. I like the French inspired decor of Mimis. The service was quick and the food hot. The malted milk waffles were crispy and not overpowering sweet. The pain perdue had fresh strawberries and blueberries. Yummy. My server was pleasant and friendly. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Mimi's Brunch Trio - French Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

See all

Mimi Cafe & Bakery Restaurant had significantly declined over time, and this recent visit (midweek for dinner) highlighted that. The place is pretty empty, except for maybe at best, 9 two-seater tables occupied by patrons. It's certainly the weekend crowd that is keeping this place afloat. The service was okay nothing spectacular and the bread basket now charges $2.99 to add a couple madeleines when it used to be free. We ordered our usual dinner combo - tuna melt and my French toast plate. It's tasty but for the price for sandwiches and fries, just gives me heartburn that I didn't want to take any pictures. I even mentioned I'm here with an uncle to celebrate birthday . . . barely got an acknowledgement other than a subtle "hey happy birthday". Regardless, it my habit to alway get a 4-pack muffins. It's one thing that never disappoints but likelymy last time. read more

Freddy is the best server!! He makes the experience at Mimi's so special. And makes me want to return. And I do! Food is good and environment is like coming home. read more

If you like great comfort food with fantastic service don't hesitate to visit the local Mimi's in Yorba Linda. If he's working ask for Jose. He's our go to server every time we go. He's friendly, informative, and accommodating about the menu and the seasonal selections. Right now there's everything pumpkin including their amazing muffins. I highly recommend seeing Jose or one of the other conscientious staff members. read more

Our server Freddy was so attentive and so kind!! Great service!! He came over multiple times to check on us and bring us whatever we needed.

Mimi's is classic. I'm from Downeyc this spot was a staple for my entire generation. Post-school, weekends, family breakfasts... Mimi's was always in the rotation. So coming out to Orange County, I expected a more refined version of that same experience, especially compared to the chaos of the always-packed Downey location sitting right next to a high school. Unfortunately, this location misses the mark, and not in small ways. After four separate attempts to give it a fair shot, the pattern is clear. Undercooked fingerling potatoes, smoked salmon that tasted like it had been sitting open in a fridge for days, and wait times that make no sense for a brick-and-mortar breakfast spot. Once is a mistake. Four times is a standard. There's a principle in business, your reputation is everything, and consistency is what protects it. Right now, this location isn't protecting anything. It's coasting on the name while letting execution slip, and customers notice. I wanted this to be my go-to again. But at a certain point, you stop giving chances and start making decisions. read more

I was there with my small service dog the other day and freddy was very hospitable. I was able to take him inside in his small stroller. Luckily, it was early in the morning, so it wasn't too busy so I was able to get the back room to myself. but Freddy was very attentive and I will be coming back. And they just started selling chicken chilaquiles and they we're really good read more

This mimi's location is the best because of Freddy/Jose!! He's genuinely such an amazing manager and he provides the best service. Anything we ever needed he gave it to us without any problem. He is the best if you come ask for him to be your server :)) read more

My mom and I had the best Sunday lunch here! Freddy was very kind to us and even gave me extra gravy for my French pot roast, which was delicious! I highly recommend this dish. Please come to this location for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you're in Yorba Linda. This Mimi's Cafe has been here for YEARS and we've never had a bad experience here. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I'm so so glad to see that it's still here. I will definitely be coming back soon to visit this wonderful restaurant and staff. read more

Mimi's Cafe - French Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

We had brunch here this past Saturday and I will no longer be returning to a Mimi's Cafe. My table ordered 5 honey bran muffins (our absolute favorite)! I noticed while eating mine that it began to taste funny, but thought maybe the recipe changed. It wasn't until I started to smell a rancid smell that I began taking another bite and realized that the muffin had gone completely bad in the middle. It was horrible. I had to spit it out. I asked my table if they had any issue with their muffins and they were all like "actually yes, it tastes different". We told our server who took the muffins and came back to say that he gave us the batch from yesterday which is the reason for the horrible taste. I've worked in food and beverage for 10 years and that was definitely not from being left in the fridge for a day. Something is very wrong in their food/dating practices. Because of that, it definitely ruined the mood for the entire brunch and I was very skeptical to eat my chicken salad sandwich. I was very disappointed to see that they didn't remove the muffins from our tab. They did replace our muffins with fresh ones. But after that experience, I wanted nothing to do with any of the food that they served. So sad. RIP Mimi's read more

Went yesterday for lunch. Service in the bar was lacking, very poor. People were walking to the waiter with their empty glasses for refills. Too busy talking with each other to wait on customers. I ordered a Margarita, really poor quality, barely able to drink it. Order the lunch special, the quiche with a salad, the quiche was undercooked in the middle, dough was raw as well as the eggs, salad was a bit old. So disappointed, will never go back to that location again. A little rundown and unkept as well. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Farmhouse Breakfast Tacos - French Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

We were delighted to find a Mimi's Cafe in Yorba Linda. We had breakfast and were greeted by Freedie. He was warm and friendly. He took our order, and the food met our expectations. The pancakes with strawberries and blueberries were delicious, and the ham and sausage omelet was amazing. Freedie was always willing to check on us and see if we needed anything. His great. Even though he is also serving other customers, he provides excellent customer service. The ambiance is excellent. The place is clean and quiet.

I have not been to a Mimi's Cafe in a long time. It seems that they changed their menu. The Roasted Corn Fritters were really, really good. They're filled with corn, cheese and fried along with a chipotle dipping sauce. All of the meals that we ordered were good. There are some items that I definitely want to try next time. The patio seating is lovely too. Not great when it's hot, but when it's nice out, it's a great spot. read more

Freddy always provides Best customer service best Mimi location. We love coming and ordering breakfast for our work meetings.

I have lived in Yorba Linda my entire life, and this place has always been a neighborhood staple for us. We stopped coming about two years ago when both the food and service declined, but decided to give it another try for breakfast this morning--and I'm so glad we did. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious, the service was truly five stars, and the overall experience felt completely refreshed. A special shout-out to Jose, who was an amazing server and made the morning even better. We'll definitely be back. read more

When my husband asked where we wanted to go eat for dinner tonight I thought Mimi's sounded great since I was in the mood for that type of food. Unbeknownst to me what an absolute catastrophe that decision would end up being. When my family walked into this barren wasteland, there was no one to be seen except one person at the far end of this deserted establishment who was already eating. Five minutes later after awkwardly standing at the hostess stand looking around for any signs of life, out walks a waitress headed to that one table, that almost walked by us until she made eye contact and realized we were about to make the mistake of dining there. She sat us down on the other end of the restaurant where we were about to wait 30 MINUTES to not even receive a round of waters or get a drink order in. NOTHING. We were handed menus and left completely neglected while staff was prancing around the bar area and the kitchen doing God knows what. There wasn't anyone else eating so I don't know how busy they possibly could have been just to completely ignore us. In the meantime I'm trying to assure my family that I'm sure they won't forget about us for much longer, as my 7 year old is hungry and desperate to eat, and I feed my baby her dinner in her high chair. I see an employee standing idle at the host stand staring over at us periodically. I counted to about the 5th time we made eye contact and still not a round of waters, checking in on us, taking an order... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It was then I decided I wasn't going to waste any more time on this sad excuse for a restaurant and we got up to leave. I can see why this Mimi's is a depressing desolate corpse of what it used to be. There would be better service at a hospital cafeteria. We left and went across the street to Chilis, where they seated us quickly, had great service and the food was great! A way better experience. It ended up being a blessing in disguise we didn't need to waste a single dollar at Mimi's. I would advise anyone not to waste their time at Mimi's. (At least this specific location, I love other locations) This restaurant is a pathetic uninhabited ghost town for a reason. read more

We came here after other restaurants were packed with long waits. Already not feeling good after seeing only handful of tables occupied. I had the chicken salad and it was soggy with sauce, very few pieces of chicken. Now I know, great spot and I hope they will get better. read more

We've been coming to Mimi's Café in Yorba Linda for about four years now, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots, not just because the food is great, but because the service is truly exceptional. Every time we come, Hanna, Zoya, and Jackson go above and beyond to make our experience special. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine thoughtfulness, especially with our kids, never go unnoticed. With so many dining options around, it's the people that keep bringing us back here. Even though servers may change over time, the level of care and hospitality we consistently experience at Mimi's feels consistent and genuine. We're truly grateful for the warmth and service we receive every time we walk through those doors. Thank you for making every meal feel like a special memory for our family. read more
