We went to Mimi's for the first time today and I just wanted to say that the service was excellent! Our waitress had beautiful pink curls and was really sweet and professional. She was cut mid-way during our meal and came over to let us know and introduce who was taking over. The other young lady that took over was also stellar! They were both attentive. The food came out hot and fresh and all at once. The people running the food were also very polite. The restaurant was clean and there was no wait. I also appreciated how they had photos of some items on the menu. We had someone with us who has communication issues and them being able to point to a photo of what they wanted was really special instead of trying to guess what they might like. read more

I ordered Mimi's for the first time in over 10 years. I remember many years ago thinking it was okay. Seeing that it was raining and I didn't want to order for my usual spots I decided to give this place a try. I got the Mushroom, Bacon and Brie omelet which sounded stellar! I did not seat inside but it was door dashed to me. The way they packed it was very nice and it came in nice containers, it also looked great. I also like that it gave me an option to have it with either toast or muffin which I found unique. Unfortunately, though the presentation was nice, the omelet was extremely bland. The egg was also overcooked and rubbery, the potatoes were also tasteless. The muffin however was very good, carrot and raisin, delicious. My boyfriend got the chipotle breakfast burrito (which I forgot to take a picture of), he said it was okay, I tasted it and also thought it was fine. Overall, not my cup of tea, but I do see some potential here. I think with minor tweaks this could be a great spot but I may give it awhile before returning (hopefully not another 10 years). read more

Drove past Fairfield on the way back from a weekend trip & was looking for something cozy for the winter weather. Ambiance - got here around 2:30pm on a Sunday. Not busy at all! Joyfully greeted by all staff & seated right away. Because it's the holidays, the restaurant felt especially holiday-esque! I was loving all the Christmas vibes :) Service - wow our servers were so quick & coincidentally checked in every time we needed some assistance! Food/drinks came out so quick & it was all still warm too. They checked in multiple times and were very accommodating! Food - OMG! I feel a sense of nostalgia for any Mimi's Cafe (maybe bc there are so little stores in the Bay) but we ordered the Bread Pudding French Toast & Brie & Mushroom Melt & cleaned our plates off! Served hot off the stove & cooked perfectly! Ended the meal with some to go muffins that were so fresh and yummy! I would def come again & bring my whole family! What a lovely & warm experience (: read more

The prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are generous. For those with a smaller appetite, one main course is enough for two people. The lava cake is delicious. However, they don't serve complimentary bread before the meal starts. I asked the staff, and she said they used to serve it but no longer do. The staff are nice and friendly. read more

Had to grab a bite before getting some artwork. Service 3.5outta5 Host wasn't attentive. I had to find her to be seated after waiting a few mins. White-peach Mimosa 4outta5 Refreshing. I wish it'd been ice cold though. Crab cake Benedict 3outta5 It was just ok. I only ate one. There was aftertaste that I didn't care for. The potatoes weren't freshly cooked and were lukewarm. Chill atmosphere, it was slow at the time. It wasn't the worst breakfast I'd had but it left me in want. read more

I've been coming to Mimi's Cafe for years, and while the food used to be much better, it's become just ok over the last 10 years. The breakfast service during the week is excellent, but on weekends, the wait can be longer, understandable since they're busier. The main reason I still come back is for the muffins. They're still as delicious as ever, especially the buttermilk spice muffin, which is my favorite. read more

Came here after my labwork.. Ordered Santa Fe Omelette and Blueberry Muffin, 4 Stack Pancakes, and Breakfast Burrito with Coffee.. 1. Santa Fe Omelette is great love it with a little touch of hot sauce. 9/10 2. Pancakes are delicious, very soft and fresh with sprinkles of cane sugar and their regular soft butter and syrup.. 10/10 3. Blueberry Muffin - not fresh 5/10 4. Burritto Breakfast tasted nasty.. The tortilla tasted so flour like it's too raw, the filling tasted like old egg and feta cheese considering it should be pepper jack cheese. It was so awful I wanted to puke.. Didn't really enjoy it.. 4/10 Overall, it was an Ok visit.. Server Adrianna was very courteous, polite and awesome.. Ambience Ok except that time that there were too much noise from the kids screaming ... read more

Mimi's can sometimes be hit and miss but the last couple times I've eaten here. I've been very happy. Went with my daughter most recently and I had a big old burger with fries. It was amazing. I also split a side salad with my daughter. The service was quick. The food was good and the price was reasonable. I've been before and I'll go again and you should go to. read more

Came here for their Veteran's special with the hubby. Clean establishment with ample parking. I got the new Quiche with potatoes for breakfast. The quiche does was perfect and buttery and I could definitely taste the mushrooms. I wish there was more cheese and I did add some salt to improve the taste. Hubby go the chicken and waffle benedict which was delicious and perfect. The hollandaise sauce was spot on and chicken was crispy. Service was excellent and didn't have to wait long for our food. read more

Mimi's is awesome for lunch or dinner. Beautifully and tastefully dressed dishes that are popping with flavor. As a foodie, I do not believe they many short cuts in meal prep. Salads and pasta dishes are all great! The service Ive had there is basically impeccable. Friendly and caring without overdoing it. Very good service. Breakfast menu is very " americanized". Which makes it feel like more of a diner instead of a italian spot. Pancakes, omlettes, potatoes type deal.. ??? Nonetheless, a very solid 4 stars!!! read more

Usually I've liked Mimi's. It's been a while so when we were in the area when we wereclose to one we stopped in. It wasn't what we had experienced before. Only a small room was open causing us to wait a long while until one of the 8 tables were available. I was surprised that were three servers. They could have opened another area or just a table nearby. The food came quickly. The food was fine. We had:. A chicken pot pie, the turkey and fish and chips. We didn't get the bread we had ordered (yummy like carrot cake) but when we flagged over a server, she said , "what do you want now? ". Not sure if it was a joke. So we made note that we didn't get the bread. No apology, she just said I thought you had. Then when we kept trying to get our server and finally flagged a different server to ask for more water, then our server came over and fussed at us for bothering the other server. I let her know we had been trying to flag her. And she annoyingly asked are you going to need anything else? I felt like we were a bother. It's not like they had much to do since each had only 2 tables. I believe that whoever is the manager should work harder to train their staff to be more friendly and helpful. We weren't that demanding. So I'm disappointed. Most likely I won't be coming back. There are a lot of other good restaurants in the area where the waiters are kinder to the patrons. read more

The food here is mediocre. The staff is always friendly and overworked. I hope they survive because no one ever eats there. It's truly sad, they used to be really good when they first opened. I feel like they are struggling a bit. I always try to go here to help them, because I never see it busy. read more

I'm sure some may have had mediocre experiences, but this is Mimi's. I've been coming here for years and we've always enjoyed our time here. The staff is friendly. The food is consistently good. No surprises. Just relax, enjoy the cheesy Louisiana "decor" and the good food. read more

The buttermilk spice muffin was lovely never heard of that flavor but tasted almost like a fluffy gingerbread or something. tomato basil soup was great, French onion too but just a little salty. The Parmesan crusted chicken tasted a little overdone, but Santa Fe omelet was pretty good. Loved the mimosa options oh and AMAZING server with the tattoos and purple hair, didn't catch her name but she was such a sweetie overall like the vibe and how many menu options there are. Reminded me a lot of my time in New Orleans read more

My waitress was Vanessa. She was attentive and kept my coffee hot. She engaged in light conversation and made sure I was content. The food was delicious. I will continue to eat there in the future. read more

Today we went to Mimi's for my mother-in-law's birthday We ordered four dishes one dessert. Everything was fine until we got up to the salad. Many leaves in the salad were dark brown and rotting (all of the rotting leaves were placed under fresh full looking leaves on the top of the salad, but when I got to the bottom, it was a different story), and the salad had a foul odor to it and taste. I ate at best a few bites and very soon lost my appetite. I'm glad my mother-in-law's food and my husband's food was OK, though as for myself, I will not be returning. On a sidenote, the service from our waitress/waiters were super helpful and attentive. read more

June 10-12, 2023: I got stuck in traffic~I was delayed due to having a major disaster with my Toyota 4-Runner . . . I mean--How is it possible for ANY vehicle running over CHP's SPIKES on Highway 80 and having ALL FOUR TRUCK TIRES BLOW OUT????? Ooooof~I gotta chill out here for an hour or more before the AAA tow truck arrives so, I might as well feed myself, right? Okay. I'll get my usual--A cup of French onion soup, a side of Balsamic, vinaigrette salad which accompanied the salmon bagel with cream cheese, a large OJ, and a large coffee to go . . . Just in case, the AAA tow truck arrives earlier than expected. BTW: I called my Palo Alto Hospital regarding my appointment; they'll see me later in the late afternoon instead, which is fine. So, no stress--- Just chillin' and not illin'; however, I'll be illin' contemplating how much the bottom line will be for the . . .

My husband and I hadn't been to Mimi's in a little over a year. And wow, what a pleasant surprise! First of all, the service was just as great as it's always been. Every person there kept an eye on every table, which meant that you didn't have to wait long for anything you needed. Then we were overwhelmed with how much the menu has expanded. The food was delicious and the portions were ample (meatloaf could be cut a tad thicoker). Overall, we really enjoyed this visit and will be returning sooner than later. read more

Decided to switch things up from Mel's Diner to Mimi's Cafe. Mimi's Cafe came to be a great choice. We were surprised to see a nice menu with many options for both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mimi's was prefect for family brunch. Service could use improvement. The gentleman, assuming host simply asked how many, grabbed menus and sat us. No real greeting. Our server was a very nice knowledgeable lady. Bonus for not being afraid for speaking two languages. Place was quiet for a Sunday. Family ordered a few different menu items and all were good. I ordered a cappuccino 10/10 & crab cake Benedict 7.5/10 -could be crispy. My husband ordered peanut butter iced coffee 9/10 different ! As well as breakfast burrito, loaded and tasty with a kick of spice. Rest of the family ordered beignets 10/10, griddle cakes 10/10, berry iced coffee 7/10 , jambalaya 9/10. We will be back! We recommend to stop by and enjoy something different. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Mimis trio - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fairfield, California

We go to Mimi's every couple months for weekend breakfast. It's okay. It's a solid choice when you know what to expect and don't want a wait. The best things about it this location are there is never a wait to get seated and the service is good. Parking is also a breeze/never an issue. We are always warmed greeted and the food comes out fast. Depending on what you get it can come out within minutes. The downside is some food is often lukewarm or even cold... I think they popped it in the microwave or it had been premade in a batch earlier. There's no way the hot entrees can be freshly prepared and come out in less than 5 minutes. However I appreciate they often have seasonal items. Themed drinks and whatnot. The people are nice. If you stick to some Mimi's favorites such as the pain perdu you'll likely be satisfied. read more

Great service! Food was delicous great atmosphere. Ordered chibbata chicken sandwich it was on point! Would definetely come back again!

I came to have a very nice breakfast with my mom and it definitely was nice! I have come to Mimi's Cafe about three times that I can recall and all experiences have been very nice. All of the workers here are extremely nice and have very good service. The food is delicious too and my mom also enjoyed her meal. I seriously have nothing bad to say about them and definitely would come back again. read more

We recently breakfasted at Mimi's, and I am writing to warn other potential patrons not to eat there. The only egg dish on the breakfast menu is a Barria meat Omelet. All well and good. We both ordered the omelet. I specifically asked the waiter to cook my omelet soft - not overdone. What we received was two Barria omelets that were grossly overcooked. They were both awful! It could be the omelets were cooked the previous day and just warmed up. Worst omelet I've eaten in years. The food was so bad that my partner, who usually doesn't finish her meals and takes a box home for later, didn't want to take any of her omelet or potatoes home. Instead of dining at Mimi's, go around the corner to Mel's. Mel's has got to be better. Any place would be better. Enough said. read more

Service was quick and efficient, but I still had adequate time to browse the menu. I got my food fast, and my coffee faster. The food itself was good. Waffles were light and airy, chicken had a solid crunch to it. The coffee was adequate, if unspecial, and the borderline dog bowl it was served in, while it didn't hurt for volume, was unwieldy. The presentation was good, even for the dog bowl coffee. All the standard dinner condiments were in their right place. The walls could do with a once-over, but the booth itself was clean. read more

This restaurant definitely went downhill since I last dined at this location. There was barely any people and the service was still slow. The decor was plain and nothing to OOOHH AAAH about. We waited a very long time just to ask for water. Mind you, there was only 3 other customers surrounding us and they continued to assist them. When we finally asked for water, the waitress left for another 15 minutes and finally took our order. But this was after choosing dishes we didn't really want because...According to our waitress... All the dishes I tried to order, "They ran out." It took another 20 minutes to get our food. I also ordered tea and the waitress kept giving me cold water! I politely told her that I needed hot water with my tea. She took it back then returned with MORE COLD WATER in the teapot! Seriously? I was so disappointed with our food that I didn't want to take a photo. Anyway, that's it for me. I'm done with Mimi's. I refuse to spend my money here again. On top of that, they charge for bread now and that's one of the reasons why I used to go. The mid 2000s Mimi's that I used to know no longer exists. I would rather eat at Red Lobster and eat their endless biscuits. read more

I stopped at Mimi's in Fairfield on the way home from Vallejo last night. I haven't been to this restaurant in years! I ordered a half a sandwich ( tuna and cheddar) with a cup of French Onion soup. It was delicious! My daughter ordered a turkey Pesto sandwich. She didn't like the turkey ( too processed), so she did remove it from the sandwich. But, our server Sheryl, was very accommodating and friendly. She did take it off the bill. Sheryl made a fresh pot of coffee for us, also really good! The restaurant was very nice and clean, even the bathroom was spotless. The service excellent ( thank you Sheryl). I will definitely not wait so long to visit Mimi's again. read more

Went to lunch at Mimi's yesterday and the service was excellent. My friends lunches all looked pretty good but mine was a disappointment.

FYI Do Not order the turkey plate unless you want to be disappointed. read more

Our family enjoy having breakfast at this restaurant. Mimi's offers generous portion sizes! Our indoor dining experience was good. The tables were spaced out for social distancing. People wore their masks when they are not eating and drinking. My uncle ordered their French toast with berries on top and can feed two people. His French had cream cheese filling and topped with sweet syrupy berries. I would hold off from using the maple syrup because the dish is already sweet as it is. My daughter ordered their Signature Trio dish, which consists of half a Turkey Royal sandwich and petite Ceasar's salad. She couldn't eat her sandwich due to the boat load of dried cranberries in the shredded turkey pieces. We thought it was a chicken salad sandwich at first. If you don't like cranberries, then don't order their Turkey Royal sandwich. We are grateful for the excellent customer service. The waitress gave my daughter a different sandwich to eat. I ordered their signature Turkey Pesto sandwich with French fries and corn chowder. The grilled sourdough bread was perfect with the pesto sauce, fresh slices of avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and Turkey. This dish is my new favorite. Their French fries was super tasty and crunchy too! Their corn chowder was delicious. I highly recommend that you order their corn chowder and Turkey Pesto. Mimi's also offers pastries. Bring home a box of their carrot muffins! read more

Was meeting a buddy of mine here for lunch. I got there early because he only has a 45 min lunch so i thought id check in to get a table. I got there at 2:30 and waited by the front podium to be seated. 4 employees were gathered by the bar chatting it up. No one acknowledged me. I figure they were not servers. But they did not bother to notify anyone that i was waiting. About 9 mins passed of standing there before i my friend showed up. Still no one helped me. We decided to go to Carino's instead.cannon comment on food because we did not eat there, but i could only imagine how long it would have taken us to get the food. Im sure staff will comment on this apologizing but what they should do is talk to there staff about service. no wonder this place is always empty read more

It's been a few years but I was craving the carrot bread they had. Was told that they didn't have anymore. My group ordered two French dips. They were sooo gross. Who puts bell peppers in French drip? The bread was awful, the dip was light with no flavor. Even my side salad was gross. My daughter did say she liked her chicken strips though. My stomach hasn't been right since that meal. The whole restaurant looks like it gave up. Strange Halloween decorations up. I would pass on this restaurant read more
