Great neighborhood bakery & cafe restaurant! I was looking for something different for office lunch when I stumbled upon Mimi's Plate. They are more of a dine-in place and NOT an efficient office lunch take out place because it took a long hold time on the phone to place the order for the office of 7 people. So be warned. When I went to pick up the food, place was buzzing with energy. They had nice case full of baked goods and staff all looked busy but energetic. I saw that there was a whole dining area to the left (doesn't look like it from outside!) that was PACKED with happy lunchers! The cashier let us know that they open Saturdays for amazing brunch, so I made a mental note to try. Onto the food... #7 Turkey sandwich (5/5, Main) - Delicious. Juicy, fresh-tasting turkey piled high and dense (like sando is HEAVY...) with cheddar, grilled onions and Russian dressing. Hello! Seriously packed that homey flavor but better. Crowdpleaser. #8 Turkey meatloaf w/ cheddar sandwich (3/5, Main) - My order because I'm a sucker for meatloaf. It turned out to be slightly dry but I suppose you can't make it too saucy if it's going on a sando. It also had nice heft but ended up being a bit too heavy and one-dimensional. #7 was better. Indian Red Lentil Soup (3/5, Side) - Something to wet our palate (literally). Homey flavor, but not a standout. We tried ordering one more time and office agreed that this place isn't good for office lunch because they had no online order and because they're too busy with customers, both time we had to wait like 10 minutes and then the person did not speak very well and just took a long time and a mistake in the order. But I'm sure that dine-in is going to be a different story! If you want a homey Russian-style cafe food from a passionate Russian lady chef, give this lovely neighborhood cafe a visit. You won't be disappointed! read more

Wonderful place, very nice people and I love the food. I will go there again thank you.

My family and I have been going to Mimi's Plate for as long as I can remember. Every visit is a reminder of why we keep coming back. Mimi and her team never disappoint, whether it's the delicious food or the exceptional customer service. They make you feel right at home every time. This past August, Mimi catered our wedding, and the compliments we received on the food were endless. Even weeks later, people were still reaching out to tell us they were craving the food selection. Mimi helped us curate the perfect menu, understanding exactly what our guests would crave on a warm summer day. Everyone on Mimi's team was wonderful to be around, ensuring that everyone was well-fed and happy. We can't thank Mimi enough for making our wedding even more special with her culinary talents and warm hospitality! read more

A great alternative to the local breakfast eateries! Considering the choices the little extra that we pay for his damn well worth it

9 bucks for 2 cups of coffee ( small regular black coffee) not even good coffee..more than NYC Starbucks price. They can't be serious JUST SAY NO!!!! read more

My favorite neighborhood lunch spot. Cozy cafe with great soups, paninis and the best mac and cheese ever. So good we catered it for my daughter's birthday and everyone loved it. Black bean dip and chicken pot pie are also some of our favorites. The homemade desserts are a must. 10/10 every time. read more

My go to spot for home cooking. Always has fresh delights in the display or order from the kitchen for breakfast or lunch. I have several favorites omelettes, pancakes and and everything on the breakfast menu. The best Tuna ever whether you get it on a melt or over mixed greens never fails. The potato salad also a winner and the best I have had that is not from home. Lol. I go at least twice a week even if it's a drive by for homemade ice tea or a sweet treat. If your in the area pop in. read more

Best luncheon ever, thank you to Mimi and her dedicated staff! Excellent luncheon catered by Mimi and her staff. Absolutely the most delicious healthy food for our area in New York. Thank you so much. MADE read more

Tried this local business for the first time, Took out the turkey meatloaf which was excellent, with a little bbq sauce on top. Also purchased tomato soup& coconut cake which I haven't eaten yet. Good food in this day & age is very pricey, but these days we can't do much about that! read more

Quick Tip....There's a reason why this place DOESN'T NOT put there prices on there internet Menu..or in there display refrigerater... Can You figure it out.. You got it.. VERY EXPENSIVE.... The food was descent.... but NOT worth the high prices !!!! read more

Hi everyone.... I just wanted to share with you my delightful lunch I had today!! I went to Mimi's Plate with my friend and it was our 1st time there..... it was AWESOME!!!! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and we also took home goodies to have tonight or tomorrow . The staff was humorous, kind and extremely friendly. We dined in, and we felt human again..... a couple came in as we were finished but the tables are spread out regardless. Great 80's music playing and just a great vibe. With so many local businesses hurting, I just wanted to share my opinion!! They have weekly specials usually starting Wednesday's and Mimi's recipes will not disappoint!! So shout out to Mimi's Plate!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! read more

Found Mimi's plate years ago and locked what I got every single time! Especially love their sandwiches with herbed mayo. Super friendly staff, awesome food, great interior! read more

Absolutely adorable! I had the salmon and the red lentil soup- flavorful and simple. Absolutely delicious and healthy assortment of food. The deserts were also to die for. The carrot cake was moist and fresh and the gluten free peanut butter cookies with chocolate ganache should be illegal. 100% recommend for a quick & nutritious bite! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I have to do it in this case to help anyone considering visiting Mimi's Plate. This place is notoriously bad at deciding when they want to serve their customers. We knew this so at 3:40pm we called to make sure they were still serving food knowing they closed at 4:00pm. They said yes, so we we walked in at 3:45pm. They told us we were closing. We said yes we know, but we literally just called...also, it's not 4:00 yet. They conceded by gave us such a guilt trip about having to open up the kitchen again that we left. If you are going to run a business, honor your business hours. Be professional. I'll never visit again as I have no trust that food will be available. read more

Luckily, I only got the Thanksgiving desserts at Mimi's!! I got the worst pumpkin pie I ever saw or ate!! The flavorless 'pumpkin' filling was trowelled onto the hard disgusting crust, at about an 1/8th of an inch. Just as well, since the barely visible 'filling' tasted like nothing I've ever tasted before! The hard, uncuttable crust was about a half inch thick and like old, used cardboard ready for the recycling bin! I also, unfortunately, ordered an apple pie, which turned out to an apple crumb pie. Not what I ordered, but that was fine. Fine, that is, until I took a bite. The apples were dry and too tart with no sauce whatsoever with the same tasteless cardboard crust as the 'pumpkin pie'! I was willing to pay the outrageous price - $36 for the apple and $28 for the pumpkin pie because I have had desserts and other goods from MP before and everything always excelled! BTW I picked up a pack of chocolate chip cookies that were like eating sawdust with a sparse spattering of chocolate chips!! STRIKE 3!! I will never darken the door of MP again! So sad! What happened to this once fantastic purveyor of culinary delights!! read more

i love this place for sandwiches, soup, meatloaf, and all premade items. whether i eat in or pick up, it is always good!

I love this adorable little cozy place! I had never been here before so I wanted to check it out, the employees were so sweet. I asked what they recommend since I had no idea what to get, one whispered "number 7!" GAME CHANGER!! So good, a turkey sandwich with cheese and honey mustard on this organic multigrain bread, just too good to be true! I kid you not I was immediately obsessed. Not only we're the employees just amazing to be around, the food was just so good. The over all aura here is just really nice, I didn't feel rushed or like I'm just a customer. I've been trying to be healthy and eat clean, this place left me full but not heavy full, healthy full! read more

Stopped in today to pick up a light dinner -got the braised short rib tacos - OMG they were delicious!!! Picked up a sleeve of Oatmeal raisin cookies for my husband ... they never made it home. Truly the best cookies ever! read more

Our first time after hearing wonderful things about Mimi's and WOW- we got a Turkey sandwich and a curry chicken salad sandwich with a kale salad. So fresh, flavorful. Huge servings and great quality ingredients - you are literally getting what you paid for. We will be back, SOON! read more

Friend told me to go, so I decided to try it. Bring your platinum card. The prices here are insane . The chicken nuggets 16.99 per pound- really ? Turkey meatloaf 14.95! This is not Balducci's . I had a muffin and coffee and it was okay, but not worth going back for. read more

Mimi's has wonderful food. A true gem in Tappan! Her foods are gourmet, organic, fresh and tasty. Its not a sit down restaurant. Its more a order and take out place. However, she does have a small area if you want to sit and eat with a very small group. The curried chicken salad is awesome! There are daily soup, breakfast and lunch specials. There is always fresh baked biscuits, scones, cookies and sweet pound cakes. There are usually samples laid out to tempt you to taste. And once I taste, I usually buy. What she has in her counter display always changes, so there is always something new to whet your appitite. The down side is that Mimi's is rather pricy. As much fun as I have picking out my tasty treats, I always wince when the total rings up on the register. So as long as you are willing to pay for quality, you know what to expect, you will enjoy. Mimi also caters, so if you have a party or some special even she will make sure the food impresses your guest. She has done several parties for me and each one was a hit! Make sure you pay Mimi a visit if you haven't! You won't be sorry. read more

Attended a wedding catered by Mimi's Plate last night. Was seriously some of the best food I've ever had at an event. Everything was so fresh, tasty and well prepared. Guests were really blown away. Definitely recommend! read more

worth the trip from NYC !!- my dear friend Didi introduced me to the spectacular food from Mimi's Plate....so now I travel from the alleged "food capital of the world" to Tappan, NY to take out from Mimi's Plate read more

Great little lunch spot. Great sandwiches. Great sides. The egg potato salad is something special. I don't think I've ever craved a potato salad until I had it here. So creamy and rich and satisfying. The only downside I would say is that it's a little pricy to be a daily lunch place for me. I would definitely come more often if this was the case. I hear they cater. Will definitely give them a try sometime. read more

This is THE place. Not a lot of room to sit down. But there's no better breakfast biscuit anywhere! Everything is super delish and lives up to Mimi's standards. read more

Mimi's Plate - The best breakfast biscuit! - Caterers Near Me - Tappan, New York

I've lived in Tappan for almost my whole life and I'm always searching for a new food place in my area to try. I must admit, I didn't give Mimi's Plate a second look for a couple of years. There was just something about the tiny little shop set up in the tiny strip of continuously changing businesses. I didn't trust it. I'm happy to admit that I was wrong and silly for judging. Mimi's Plate is AMAZING! Once I walked in I felt comfortable, not intimidated as I usually feel going somewhere new. The girl behind the counter was very friendly and patient as I did not know what to order or where things were. She explained the daily specials and waited patiently while I decided what to try. I ordered an iced coffee and the Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and herb mayo on multigrain bread sandwich. The decor is adorable, but tiny. There aren't tables inside to eat, but I think there are 2 set up outside the store. It's more of a take-out place. They offer a variety of mixed salads, grilled veggies, and daily specials behind the counter, as well as baked treats that advertise being baked daily, which they probably are. There were two types of dips out for you to try with small pieces of fresh, crunchy baguette. The dips I tried were a spinach dip and the hummus. So Good! My sandwich was delicious. Somehow it reminded me of very good sushi that I've had, even though there was no fish in my sandwich. Something about the herb mayo and avocado combination, with the crisp tomato and fresh crunchy lettuce, that transformed this average sounding sandwich to a whole other meal altogether. The bacon was crispy and was not greasy or chewy at all. It was a perfect BLAT. Also, they offer Truvia sugar, which I can never find at other coffee places around here. A++ Mimi's prides themselves on organic, local ingredients and fresh, tasty food. The service is friendly and comfortable, and it's food you can count on. The prices are SLIGHTLY higher than average quick stops, but you get what you pay for and that's QUALITY. Try it, you WONT BE SORRY! I hope Mimi's stays around for a while so I can try EVERYTHING!! read more

Arrived on a Friday just after 4pm, and although they are listed as being open until 5, upon placing our order the staff informed us that "their ovens were off" and reluctantly offered they would be "happy" to serve us cold dinner. Surprising such a tiny place could afford to turn away customers- will not return or recommend! read more

I have never posted on Yelp before although I use it all the time. But my experience today at Mimi's made me compelled to do so. I have frequented this establishment many times before. The food is good and fresh although a bit pricey. I decided this morning to treat myself to breakfast from here on my way to work which I have never done before. I arrived at 8:15 am and although I was the only customer I found it hustling and bustling with activity in the kitchen. I ordered my sandwich and made my coffee. After about 5 mins the person who took my order said that they don't open until 8:30 so I would have to wait. I was flabbergasted and asked why the door was open if they were not. I got no response. This is unacceptable and rude customer service. I will never go to Mimi's again. read more

If delicious & creative food made with quality ingredients and a heckuva lot of soul is what whets your whistle, then Mimi's shouldn't be missed. It's become part of my routine to pop in at least once or twice a week to check out what's cooking and I'm never disappointed. I'm extremely fond of the made-to-order breakfast and lunch specials, the soups and the awesome dips. Admittedly, I try to ignore the sweets, but dang! Mimi and her crew are always great. Do yourself a favor and check it out, sooner than later. read more

Mimi's plate is amazing! The service is stellar an the products are out of this world. Everything is fresh and you feel that you are walking into your house kitchen. The moment you walk in you smell deliciousness and greatness. I highly recommend! read more

Mimi recently catered an affair for us- sandwiches, salads, dessert platter. Everything was fresh and delicious- exceeded my expectations.

Fresh, honest and pure. Lovely homemade preparations with quality ingredients. I hope they keep this up.

I absolutely love Mimis Plate. The food is almost all organic and very fresh! From the coffee, to dessert and everything in between...you can't go wrong. It's a great place to stop in and get food for lunch/dinner. I love the fact it's like a food boutique...makes it personal and cozy. During my work day it's a great place to stop in for a quick fix. The staff is always lovely and helpful. Mimi is so sweet and humble about how great her food is. read more

Go Here! The sandwiches and dips are awesome. Try any kind of chicken salad and you will be happy. Not giving it 5 stars bc I really haven't loved any of the soup I have tried yet, but I will try again. read more

Only tried some sandwiches and cole slaw but everything looked amazing and the quality is a step above the rest. They use organic chicken and local farm vegs and fruits. The chef is amazing and we can't wait to go back. It's a small little take out mostly place that caters beautiful food. Highly recommend. They do have a few stools and counter if your want to eat there read more

There's nowhere within a 20 mile radius that can beat this place to grab lunch. If I worked in an office with a better fridge, I'd probably pickup dinner every day too. The food stays pretty simple and that's it's charm. Great BLTA salad. read more

We just had Mimi cater our wedding! She is a genius and her food is amazing. Short ribs, vegetable lasagne, and roasted chicken and apples! Yum. Everything is delicious -- comforting and exotic all at the same time. read more

While visiting my Mother for ten days in rehab (in Rockleigh that only serves Kosher food), I went out searching for a place that had something special. WOW, did I find the place! I only wished there was a place like this in Silicon Valley. Every order was to go, and when I served it to my mother and visiting siblings, EVERYONE was pleasantly surprised. It's not often that you open "food to go" and think it's home made. I'm sure if I ate there, it would be just as good, if not better. You can tell they only use top shelf ingredients as the favors are more than present, they dance on your tongue. Plus the daily variety is amazing. Mimi's special's are just that, special. I read some of the other not so positive reviews, and I certainly don't agree with their reviews. Worth the visit, you won't be disappointed! Loved it!!! read more

Scones, soups, dips, warm turkey meatloaf sandwich, avocado blt and Mexican egg rolls are our favs. Love trying daily specials and baked goods too. Great coffee from local roaster. Friendly staff. read more

My friends in upper grand view just had Mimi's cater their mother's birthday party. I have to say everything was outstanding. The food was excellent - a huge cut above the usual catered fare. Everything was home made and delicious - and the only time I've eaten strawberry shortcake in the last 10 years! The guys who managed the event and served the food were so professional and attentive - and Steve was totally cute ;). Highly recommended. read more
