Visiting and got together with girlfriend as she needed meet where they provide outdoor dining due to the pandemic. Mimi's Cafe was the place. Great food and service and so glad to see many are back supporting our restaurants. I ordered Turkey Dinner and my gf ordered pot roast. Food was fresh and delicious. We ordered creme brulee and was just the right spot, not too sweet. My GF also ordred take out for her and mom for dinner. Was the right place for 2 old friends to catch up over a great meal. Great Job! As an Elite Yelp Reviewer i am proud to rate 4 stars! read more

I went back and Efrain took care of me again. I was happy to see that I was served a fair amount of avocado during this visit. Efrain was friendly and attentive, like our last visit. I appreciate it. read more

The food was delicious! Darlene was our server. She's knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I couldn't eat meat and she was very patient and helped me choose the perfect dish. I love Mimis ambiance and newly remodeled restaurant. They have soft music playing in the background making the evening very pleasant. Their food selection is as close as you can come to a home cook meal. Always a delightful experience. read more

This place is so underrated. We have come for breakfast, lunch, & dinner and have loved all the food. Their pastries are top tier, they're all so soft and moist. Darlene our server was so nice, she made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our dinner. Definitely recommend this place, so family friendly! read more

Mimi's Cafe - Buttermilk spice muffin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

More often than not there is a wait to get seated at this Mimi's Cafe. And when I say wait if you have 4-8 people in your group it will be a good 20 minutes. So we waited for half an hour this past Super Sunday for a party of 6 just to be called up, "Your party of 4 is ready." This mix-up was resolved within 5 minutes, but it was still frustrating. We got a funky table out of the process. In general, the food is French-inspired comfort food. KIDS MENU Really cute menus with meal pictures so your toddlers will pick out what they want right away. FLORENTINE BENEDICT - it's so good when it's done right. The bacon was so flimsy and chewy. Maybe it sat under the heated lamp too long. Still, this was a way better meal than the farm tacos or whatever they're called I had one time. PARKING ... can be rough, but it's free as long as you don't steal a space from the nearby Doubletree. WOMEN'S RESTROOM I've been here enough times to never experience a clean restroom. There is a baby changing station in the handicap stall. SERVICE ...like the food, it's hit or miss, but this last time with Sean (Shaun or maybe Shawn?) was great. He's a hustler, baby. And better looking than Jay-Z. TIP I think I saw a sign for a Valentine's day 3-course meal for 2 priced at $42. They have deals like this around every holiday. | Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Environment: 2 | Price: 3 | '18 Challenge #6 read more

I still love going there after all these years. The food is still good, the place is still in good shape. The staff still great. The decorations, music and design still the same. Maybe better. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

Parisian Ham Baguette sandwich was good. Had it without the fig mustard or mixed greens and instead spread some butter on one of the breads that was left from the complimentary bread and it hit the spot. The fries they served today were crispy and tasty. Not as seasoned as I like but not bland either. I'd definitely get this meal again. read more

The customer service was terrible... my party waited 30 mins and when we were sat it was at a table top so I inquired with the hostess if we could move to a booth when one opened up. She said we had to go back to the bottom of the waiting list LMFAO which makes no sense at all. Asked to speak to a manager and after going back and forth with "The manager" they seated us at oNe of the 3 available booths. Once the food came I was shocked at how low the quality was from the last time I had been here. The potatoes were greasy and undercooked, the food had no flavor and the french toast was literally 2 bread slices with cream in the middle. Not dipped in egg like regular French toast, just dry bread with filling. All in all you're better off going to Denny's, you know it's bad if the food quality at Denny's is an upgrade. YIKES! read more

great food and ambiance. Tony was an awesome server always one step ahead. would definately reccommend this mimis cafe.

Nice to know lots of Mimis Cafes are still around. We stopped here over the weekend with friends to have breakfast. I ordered an omlette with pancakes and bacon. Not too many selective breakfast choices. But i love the food here and dessert pastries. We even took home a Apple pie. Great service and food. Will keep coming back. read more

I have lunch 2 days ago, we love it so much both drinks and food. All staffs very courtesy and friendly especially Humberto, try to listen and serve what we need. Highly recommended this Cafe if you visiting Chino California. Suchitra Srijantara Hawaii USA read more

I've been ordering from Mimi for many years I am very disappointed with their food I ordered a salad today and the salad was very small and of poor quality. I had to take it back and they added more salad- everything's was a mess ! Their salads are18.00 - I expect more this is the last time I'll be ordering from this restaurant read more

We've been here on 3 occasions now, and I must say, we've enjoyed it every time. We were there yesterday, after a Dr. appointment. We were greeted at the door by a smiling staff member, and then were seated right away. The place was clean and obviously kept up, unlike some other Mimi's I've been to. Leticia, our server was extremely nice, polite, and very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions! The entire staff seemed extremely friendly! I was impressed!! The ONLY criticism I'd give, is, I asked for a glass of water, and it was pretty awful. I don't know if it was tap water or the glass itself, but that really needs to be looked into. Other than that, 5 stars all around!! read more

Excellent, friendly service, delicious food. The Downey address was nearly empty at lunchtime - a pity, as Mimi's still offers a good meal at fair prices. read more

Went in for a light dinner. I ordered the grilled cheese and French onion soup. The soup had a huge hunk of bread that wouldn't break apart. The broth was luke warm but the cheese was ridiculously hot. So I took the bread out and dipped my grilled cheese in it. Not conventional but it worked . The sangarita was a boxed drink and I took a couple of sips. The waiter was kind and very nice. He tried to make it up but I was so tired i just wanted to go to bed. Maybe it would have been different if I ordered a full meal. read more

The food was amazing! The customer service was also a 10/10 the staff were friendly and the place it self was just. Wow! Like, I have no words. Definitely wanna come again! read more

Last time I went to Mimi's Cafe, I was going to college in 2005. The food I had was so horrible I never went back. I went back with a friend in 2023 and the food was good. Decent amount on the plate. Ambiance was perfect and service was excellent. I will go back. read more

Really nice service , love the buttermilk spice muffin! Tony our server was very friendly and attentive

Dont come here! This place is runned down, overpriced and extremely slow service. Was told wait would be 15-20 mins, we waited 40 mins. We finally got our table and the party next to us had her purse and glasses on our table!!!! The hostess didnt wipe our table down. Didnt even apologize . Food portion was small and definitely not worth the price , I usually dont write bad reviews, but I just had to rate and share this restaurant. Please do support your local mom and pop restaurant. read more

Service was super good ! Food was amazing + our server Tony was on top of it at all times !!

It's not what it use to be. Years back the restaurant took pride in their food and customer service. I ordered the mimosa flight and all I got was 3 half filled glass cups with 99% juice Little to no champagne at all, If that was the case I would just ordered Orange juice. I asked if they can add champagne at extra cost and the answer was no. I use to love this place i grew up coming here after today I'm done with this place read more
