Hidden Gem, excellent cozy ambient, delicious food for breakfast and brunch, and service amazing Thank you Clare for the wonderful experience read more

Cool spot for breakfast after the holiday. Ordered the chicken curry wrap, which is something I've never had before and complemented it with Rose Water Spice. This was definitely a unique breakfast and it was so close to where we were staying, so it was very convenient to come here in the morning. They had very friendly employees in this kind environment! read more

I had driven by here so many times when I commuted to the West side and finally took a stop on the way to the Getty. I had heard good things about the businesses on Topanga. I got their speciality smoothie, a mushroom latte, and avocado toast with some toppings. The drinks and avocado toast were excellent. The setting is nice though there's not a lot of seating or parking. I did have an issue which they resolved well after I called in. I'll definitely come back again next time I'm in the area. read more

Extremely bad service - rude waitress started dumping garbage bag next to our seats as we approached the closing time, without kindly telling us to go!!!! Totally cut our appetite. No cutlery or napkins were given - no smile either. "Veggie toast" was some gluten free slice of bread with two pounds of spinach. Served cold - the staff didn't heated it up... Other sandwich was wrapped in plastic, seemed from several hours ago - a strange thing for a place that's calling itself a deli... Chocolate cake was good however. read more

My son and I were driving around and looking for a place to get a late lunch yesterday, and luckily we happened upon Cafe Mimosa. And what a gem. The place is charming, the service is very friendly, and the food is great. The egg salad on sourdough might just be the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had. Also outstanding was the vanilla raspberry tea. I highly recommend stopping for breakfast or lunch at Cafe Mimosa in Topanga Canyon. read more

What an eternally lovable place run by a doyenne of scrumptious bites and great interior design. Look at this sandwich! It is made with fermented dough in the French tradition. This means less gluten, less starch, more yummy for your tummy! We also had matcha lattes (mine with a shot of espresso) sweetened with molasses. Perfect! read more

I really wanted to like it here more than I did. The setting is great, the menu looked great... but there were some issues with the service and food. First, the smoothie was delicious and was delivered quickly so I recommend that for sure! The bread for the avocado toast was like a rock but the egg addition made it worthwhile. One member of our group never got his food and it turns out it had been forgotten altogether. read more

I'm a local and have a love hate with this place. I want to love it but I just can't. My main bone to pick: if you can't manage to keep vanilla nut flavored coffee hot and stocked throughout the morning (say 8:30am - 10am), you really shouldn't call yourself a cafe. 7 Eleven manages to keep multiple coffee flavors hot and stocked all day long... and they are not a cafe. I've given this place so many opportunities and I'm just over it. I'd even go so far as to say they should be stocked all day with hot coffee but I'm trying to be nice because the danishes are OK (my husband enjoys them). The ambiance is eclectic, wacky Topanga and the staff are fine but slow. read more

CUTEST little spot ! came here to grab quick bite to eat. pretty good actually i would definitely come back! read more

Not my favorite coffee but not the worst. Ordered it twice and it was okay both times. First time we ordered an iced late... it was not good. Today we ordered caramel hot lates and they are okay. Very cute cafe and staff are nice! read more

Disappointed. I ordered a coffee tote online and received a receipt saying ready in 30 minutes (kinda long for something small but ok). I arrived 30 minutes later and was not assisted or even greeted within the first 3-4 minutes of standing at the waiting counter. When I was greeted, I was told my product was not available unless the manager was on site (manager wasn't on site). I was then rudely asked to move while they worked on figuring out if they could do it for me instead of letting me know they were working on an answer and asking me politely to step aside. The communication was awful and the cashier was rude from the moment I walked in. Hope this was a one-off... read more

Wonderful cafe! I got a matcha, very delicious. Pleasant service and quaint atmosphere. Would recommend to people passing by the canyon for a bite. read more

Many moons ago I lived a block from this location. It brings back old memories (that is I can remember anything from that far back). Cafe Mimosa make good coffee drinks. As far as the pastries go I just ask if they are super fresh and go with those (no fresh ones means I ain't eatin it(:) Their patio is cool and there is definitely a Hippy type of Topanga Canyon vibe here (which is cool in my book). Give them a try. read more

Cafe Mimosa - Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topanga, California

Cafe Mimosa has been my happy place for many years. I know all the Topanga places very well and here is where you will find a relaxed atmosphere where you chat easily with travelers and locals alike. The wait staff is a reflection of Topanga. Earthy, eccentric and has a warm smile to welcome you. The food and drinks are consistently good. At times, the wait can be a bit long bc lets face it, it ain't Starbucks. But that's exactly why I keep coming back, year after year. I can't imagine Topanga without Cafe Mimosa. read more

This place was total disappointment. After a long hike in topanga, my friends and I were venturing through the town looking for a deli. After a few inconclusive investigations, we landed upon "cafe mimosa", tucked away behind the trees. The atmosphere was charming at first, but upon walking inside there was a strange darkness that befell the room. The two employees were helpful, but seemed like they were simultaneously preoccupied with something else. Upon viewing the menu, I was underwhelmed by the options and the presentation. Most of the meals were pre-made, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated. A little strange for a place that calls itself a "cafe", but i digress. I ordered the mushroom "burrito" and patiently waited outside, unknowing to what horror would await me. The first meal that arrived was my friends "avocado toast"; an utterly pathetic dish on all fronts. They didn't even try to make it look nice, it was half toasted with about 1/3 of an avocado spread on top. Zero points for presentation. Following this disaster was my so called "burrito", though it looked and tasted more like a microwavable gas station wrap. Not only was it not filling, it actually spoiled my appetite for the rest of the day. We ate in silence and unspoken dread. Despite the charming facade this place gives off, there is absolutely nothing going for it on a culinary level. The prices are completely ridiculous for the food you receive. I truly hope they put more effort into the quality of their food in the future, because if not, they are doomed to fail. read more

Positively perfect. The tuna salad and the spinach feta quiche were delicious and the price was unbeatable. Will be back for sure. Also, excellent drip coffee which is my favorite. read more

I love this place! Pirates chai and the gluten free vegan brownie is AMAZING. staff is amazing too! Tons of seating inside and outside it's such a calming space. read more

Cafe Mimosa - Pirates chai and brownie ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topanga, California

We had a great breakfast, the atmosphere was very nice specially when sitting outside. Food and service were great definitely will be back!

Ordered two Matcha Lattes, they couldn't have been worse. Oh, and it cost me $14. They were made by simply dumping matcha powder into hot water and then pouring oat milk into that. Not whisked or blended at all. Both drinks were nothing but matcha chunks floating on the top. The "barista" had no idea what golden milk was - even though it was written on a chalkboard in 3 inch lettering right behind her. Once I pointed that out, she simply said, "we must be out of that." Hence the oat milk. After I got to my car and realized how horrible the drinks were, I decided against going back in and complaining. It was obvious the young woman working was alone and the failure lies with the owners who hired/trained/trusted her. In a world where finding vegan and unique drinks/foods isn't hard anymore, I won't be giving this place another penny of mine. You've been warned to be disappointed. read more

Really fun and eclectic vibe! Cafe Mimosa is very relaxing with multiple places to enjoy your drink and food. Very familiar with topanga canyon, can't believe I never popped in before. I will definitely be back. read more

This place has THE BEST Macchiato I ever had. The coffee master behind the register is amazing!!! They also have a fantastic spinach quiche and phenomenal french pastries such as pain au chocolate, croissants... I highly recommend anyone to stop by this charming cafe! Me and my family are going to come back as many times as possible. read more

Fantastic smoothie. Got the berry and the woman running the show offered to add a banana. Score. The end result was delicious and perfectly blended. One of the best smoothies I can recall, no kidding. No clue how the coffee or food is, rating based on smoothie quality and service (very friendly) only. Cozy and quirky spot. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Limited parking available in the lot. read more

It is all about that canyon life at Café Mimosa. This cute coffee and pastry shop right on Topanga Canyon Boulevard feels like a home away from home. Super personable owners make you feel right at home with hot brewed coffee served in big, bulky mugs and fresh sandwiches. The clientele is an eclectic mix of locals, hikers and hippies on the move. The interior feels like it was picked up from an antique shop and cleaned up for the store. It's a kaleidoscopic mishmash but it all makes perfect sense in the canyon. Just super awesome. read more

Ooo the pastries were Heavenly. We just stopped for a quick drink and pastry, not 5 stars because our drinks were so oversweet and couldn't finish them. But the server was lovely and the store was cute. read more

Adorable mountaintop cafe in Topanga serving up fresh coffee and good vibes. They also serve a variety of vegan and gluten-free pastries and goodies! I always make an effort to stop in when I'm in the area. Pro Tips: - There's a few outdoor seats, so you can enjoy coffee al fresco! - There's limited parking, so plan accordingly read more

I've come here about two times now, two times in a row that is. Came here to catch up on some readings while also seeing what they have to offer. Started off with their brioche buns that comes with tomatoes, swiss cheese, kale/pesto spread, along with avocado slices (I got it without the omelette). It. Was. Amazing. That I ordered a second one to bring to a frIend that's in the area. I also got a horchata coconut latte that was also delicious along with their banana chocolate muffin. The muffin was just the right amount of sweetness and light. Definitely love this spot and service is great! Will be back every time I am in the area. read more

This is a very quaint coffee shop in Topanga. We stopped here before our hike to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The atmosphere is so cute with indoor and outdoor seating. I got a vanilla latte and it was very tasty without being too sweet. I also ordered a bacon breakfast burrito. The burrito was made or prepped ahead of time and reheated in the back but still very delicious. Probably the same as a Starbucks would do. For a breakfast burrito and a coffee my price was around $11. I'd stop in again for a coffee when staying in the area. read more

I ordered an avocado toast and I watched the girl working behind the counter pull a pre made "avocado toast" from behind the counter... this avocado toast was literally a piece of cold white bread with 4 slices of avocado and nothing else. No salt, no greens, no tomatoes. No taste. The young girls behind the counter were not very friendly at all. Coffee was watered down and I'm pretty sure it's a single shot of espresso. Very sad that I had such a bad experience because I do want to support local! But go to endless color, topanga living or cafe on 27. read more

Very nice atmosphere. Pastries and coffee are excellent. They have a mushroom latte that is also quite tasty. So rare their sandwiches and other light fare. read more

We only came here since it appeared as one of the closest places from our Topanga Canyon hiking spot that had any significant Yelp ratings. I had little appreciation for the mismatched furnishings and quirky decor that fills this cafe. My friend described it as adorable but I found it a bit off-putting. The tables and chairs we sat at felt super janky. The menu was not that extensive and it took me a while to decide to get anything. I actually got the $4.00 single shot mocha/coconut milk/caramel special which was actually very delicious. I actually thought about getting a fruit smoothie but the barista informed me that they actually used syrup to make the smoothies ... This place wasn't a bad place to chill on a Saturday afternoon but I would never go out of my way to come here. read more

Cafe Mimosa is a quaint coffeehouse with a French flair. It's nestled deep inside Topanga Canyon and is beautifully decorated. It offers your typical coffee drinks and teas. Mimosa also offers home made quiches and a wonderful menu of delicious sandwiches. There are numerous already-made salads there as well. The cafe is also a boutique, offering many unique gift items as well as some vintage French imports. What I liked best about Mimosa is that it's a place to relax. There are front and back patios where people can sip their drinks and enjoy some quiet time. What I didn't like too much was the cafe latte I ordered. It tasted more like hot milk than coffee :(. If you want to find a place to relax and enjoy the fresh air, this is the place! read more

Morning service during commute to work is relatively slow. But it's ok for the regulars that come here. The owner/barista takes your order, prepares your coffee or beverage, then helps the next customer. She's the barista and cashier. Unless it was just that way that morning. Couldn't afford the 10-15 extra minutes I spent there compared to a chain. But I believe you would come here to sit and enjoy your chai latte. Not buzz through. The soy mocha latte I ordered was ok. Won't be coming back here soon, though. I just needed a quick stop for coffee. And I felt like the oddball. Everyone looked like they lived there in the Topanga area, because they all seemed to know each other. It's a nice cozy little place. Everyone was friendly, but you come here to say hello to familiar faces. It's not really a fast coffee fix on your way to work. That's just my opinion. Stop by if you like this sort of thing. Expect the small town feel because that's exactly what it is. read more

Let me start by saying that this review is only based on one experience during the pandemic. The establishment is incredibly charming and the two ladies that worked there the morning of my experience were sweet and attentive. So why the mediocre review? I think that as we define protocols for COVID, restaurant owners and employees need to be sensitive and astute in how they deliver their message. I ordered a coffee, which the lady was absolutely kind enough to make for me, however with bare hands, and the same hands she used to take my cash, she put the lid onto my coffee and her thumb ran across the mouthpiece. Money is one of the dirtiest things that you can touch as it exchanges hands so many times. The only reason I paid in cash was because I thought they only accepted cash. I'm certain that this woman meant well, as her demeanor was kind. The ambiance here is warm, authentic seemingly filled with locals. I went back in to pay for a second cup. There were two people ahead of me, so I thought I would help myself at the pump while I waited for my turn to pay. This was probably ignorant on my part as their rules appeared to be that no one touches the pump but the workers. Makes total sense! This was my first visit to an outdoor establishment since the start of the pandemic. The issue I take is in how this was handled. As I started to pump my coffee, the same lady who helped me earlier rushes up to me and gently pushes me back and urgently says "oh no, you may not come back here, no" She of course did not hurt me, but it certainly did draw attention, and was very embarrassing. I think if they had a more delicate way of sharing their safety protocols, the whole outcome would've been different. Please know that I accept responsibility for not knowing the good and safe measures that they had in place. I'm certain that this place is worth a revisit! read more
