Mimo's Cafe is one of those local spots in Whittier that I'm always happy to come back to! I love the atmosphere, and I always choose to sit outside it's such a nice little setting. Whenever I have a client or someone I need to meet in Whittier, this is one of the first places I suggest. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or lunch, they never disappoint. The customer service is always top-notch, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a local favorite of mine, and I'll continue coming back! read more

I've been coming here for quite a while because it's within walking distance of my home, and I genuinely love the atmosphere. The older gentleman who I believe is the owner is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. He's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Unfortunately, my experience with the woman who takes orders and rings customers up has been very inconsistent. I'm not sure if she's his wife or daughter, but her attitude is often so rude that I find myself dreading the ordering process. While she occasionally has good days, most of my interactions with her have felt unfriendly, dismissive, and unnecessarily unpleasant. It's disappointing because I truly enjoy this café and want to continue supporting it. The food, location, and atmosphere keep me coming back, but customer service is a huge part of the experience. I hope this feedback is taken constructively because I'd love to see the service match the warmth and hospitality that the owner consistently provides. read more

Stopped by after a run and had a great breakfast. If you're looking for a classic mom-and-pop spot, this is it. I ordered the sausage and eggs, which came with home potatoes and my choice of bread. It was simple and filling. I also tried the iced vanilla latte, which was good. They're known for their cafe de olla though. The menu is pretty versatile, with both breakfast and lunch options. Staff was friendly and checked in on us throughout the meal. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Mimo's Cafe - Nasty soggy fries. The chicken is raw and some parts and the other parts are woody. Probably the worst meal I've had this whole year. - Diners Near Me - Whittier, California

Walking around downtown and the smell coming from Mimo's literally was so good we had to stop in. Cute quaint restaurant with minimal indoor seating but ample outdoor shaded dining space. Very comfortable outside with music, gave it a great vibe. We opted for the burger special, great value! The hamburgers were cooked to perfection, and French fries super tasty. They do have a full menu! The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend you giving them a try! read more

Ventured out to uptown Whittier today and decided to stop in here for our morning coffee. I didn't know what to order till a lady walked in and picked up an iced cafe de olla and it just looked amazing! So I grabbed on as well and the wife got an iced Amaretto coffee. Staff was soooooo nice and friendly. At first they looked serious and I was worried They would come off as rude but no way , super cool! And talkative ! Even after we grabbed our coffee and left to sit outside they still came out to see if everything was good. Kudos to this place and I'm so happy we stopped in 20 thousand stars!!!! read more

Subpar food. I was wondering why the restaurant was empty on a beautifully sunny day.

I thought I would give this place a second chance since the first time I ate there and had breakfast. Unfortunately, it did not taste good. Today I arrived about 230 pm and ordered the taquitos. Again not too impressed. The lettuce they served with the taquitos was wilted. I'm surprised even though it was still early in the day. Wilted lettuce might be expected later in the day but a good restaurant should not serve food that has been sitting all day. Needless to say, I was so hungry I ate the taquitos except for the wilted lettuce. If i had to choose the only thing good was the guacamole but I've had better. read more

Paying customers and wouldn't even let us use the restroom to be able to enjoy our food. Won't be eating here again.

Very friendly service with a nice greeting as you enter. An extensive menu from breakfast to lunch and dinner. Lots to choose from and competitive pricing. Homemade style with drink selections on the side. Combos and daily specials are offered. We had the chicken parmigiana and the turkey burger combo. Both were delicious. Pastries for dessert too. read more

I've been eating from Mimo's Cafe regularly for about five years now, and the consistency is exactly why I keep coming back. No matter how busy they get, the quality of the food never slips--it's always fresh, well-prepared, and reliable every single time. Their delivery service to Uptown has honestly saved me more times than I can count, especially on long or hectic days when cooking just isn't an option. The prices are very fair for the portion sizes and overall quality, which makes it easy to support them regularly. It's rare to find a local café that stays this consistent over the years, and Mimo's Cafe has absolutely earned my loyalty. read more

The service here is very friendly. This cafe has been around since my family first came to Whittier about three decades ago. Their club sandwiches are great and their fries are yummy as they're served fresh, crispy and thick. I also loved that they weren't salted. They give you ketchup, salt, and pepper so that the customer can season as they prefer. The coffee was also great and the price was very reasonable. I got the small mocha latte and as a slight sweet tooth who also gets acid reflux if drinking strong coffee I was pleased that the drink wasn't too strong and it was so satisfying. I also love that they put what seemed to be crushed cocoa pebbles in the drink. They also have decaf coffee for those who can't handle caffeine. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a retro feel inside with a menu written in chalk and traditional pastries displayed. read more

Food was great! I got a tuna melt & my husband got the chorizo burrito & cafe de olla and loved it. The cashier with the bangs was uninviting and a little rude but I'm glad they didn't discourage us to stop by and eat. Would still recommend. Ambience is cute and quiet. read more

Perfect spot if you enjoy old timers smoking cigars while you're sitting on their patio trying to eat breakfast.... I had to stop eating and leave because there were three old men smoking in the patio. It's 2025! Smoking in a restaurant patio is disgusting. read more

We tried this place for the first time last year on Father's Day. We were looking for a place with an outside patio that would fit our large family. We showed up last minute and were able to be accommodated. The server was so incredibly warm and welcoming. He made sure we were all comfortable and in the shade. He even made sure there was space to pull up our babies stroller comfortably. He was fast and always attentive. My entire family ordered different fishers and they all raved about what that had chosen. Since then we have been back frequently and enjoy every one of our visits. read more

Restroom: No restroom available. They suggest to go buy something small next door to use their restroom. Credit Cards: They are accepted. Location/Parking: Located in between Philadelphia and Bailey St. on Greenleaf Ave. Parking can be found in the parking structure on Cornstock Ave. Ambiance: Pretty chill vibe sitting in their outdoor patio. The only negative about this chill vibe is this pesky fly that wouldn't leave us alone. Service: Service was great. Food came out at a decent time and our waitress check up on us through out our lunch outing. Food Of Choice: 1) Chorizo breakfast burrito: Burrito was actually good. Thought the burrito would be salty from the meat, but I was grateful that it wasn't. 2) Chicken Salad: everything was fresh and balanced the meal. 3) Tilapia: Was quite tasty and loved how the fries didn't have salt on them Cafe For Thought: Definitely coming back. read more

Came for breakfast and the food was very good and tasted fresh. It does come a bit under seasoned for each persons preference to add additional salt or sauces when served. I ordered a Cafe de Olla and it was Amazing, not too sweet and not too bitter. Their desserts look amazing and will definitely be coming back for one on the next run. The pricing is average and in my opinions reasonable for the quantity of food. The servers are very welcoming and very attentive to you. read more

Coffee is superb. The pancakes and pastries are real fillers. The service rocks and I'm a regular. Lattes from here are the best. You can really get anything for breakfast. read more
