Mimi's Cafe - Cinnamon Brioche Roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Went here for their Valentine's menu and it was really cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love their different rooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was stellar. They took us for our reservation right on time, our server Grace was top notch. I love that they pre-bus their tables but are not pushy at all. Their little bald bus guy was also so good at his job. As someone who was a previous server in a past life I can tell you him and Grace are top assets to this establishment. The manager was also making rounds to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. I'd also like to add the previous review had me tickled to see this place for myself. I'm not sure who goes out to eat and is focused on the tvs, but it's 100% not me. We will definitely be back. The braised short rib and corn chowder were delicious and enough for me to have lunch today also. My bf's Caesar salad was not lacking either, he also got the short ribs and had a little to take home. And last but not least, he got the butter toffee cake and was "pleasantly surprised by the flavor". Perfect balance with the a la mode. Well done, Mimi's, well done. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Picture of us because I definitely forgot to snap a food pic. Plated as pictured tho and did not disappoint. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Today my family and I went to Mimi's Cafe in Friendly Center. Unfortunately it wasn't our normal amazing experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in a nice comfy booth in the back of the dining room and excited to try your new menu items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However our server Aeda was less than pleasant. It seemed as if we were bothering her when we asked for things like extra napkins and drink refills or asked questions about the menu. Looking around at the other tables she was waiting on she seemed to have no issue. They seemed to get refills and service while my family and I waited. I'm not sure if this was because my husband and children are African American and her other tables were white or if she just wasn't interested in our table because we had children with us. Either way today was very disappointing and if having a mixed race family is an issue at Mimi's we will not be back. read more

My friend and I stopped after shopping in Greensboro. We had eaten there many times before and the food was good, but this time was different. We both ordered Quiche, hers was okay, mine was dry and inedible. The waitress brought me another and it was just okay, but not like previous visits. We both ordered a muffin that brought out after we ate, so we asked for them to go. I tasted a piece off of mine before we left, and it was stale and the topping was hard. When I got home I heated half of it in the microwave which improved the taste, but it still wasn't like the to die for muffins I used to get there. The only good thing about the visit was the friendly and attentive waitress who took care of us. We've decided to cross Mimi's off our list of places to eat. read more

Service was excellent, the waitress Ayanna is awesome, friendly & attentive. The atmosphere was cool. The good was good. Although my steak had to much char on it & we felt the potatoes that came with the food should have been better, mine needed to be more crispy & flavorful. My friend said his had a bad after taste. I had the triple berry sweet tea & my friend had the mimosa flight. The app trio is good. Chicken just needed some seasoning & bread should have been a bit toasted for texture with the dip. I would come back & try other options for sure. read more

Burger was ordered "medium" and served very rare. We sent it back and the female manager on duty came over and gruffly said "this is our medium so how do you want it ?" I thought that was poor customer service. She could have apologized and brought my friend a muffin or something to eat while his burger was re-done. I understand mistakes in the kitchen happen. I have worked in restaurants. Its how management deals with a customer complaint that determines whether an experience is good or bad. In this case, it was bad and I will find elsewhere to order a $17 burger. read more

Is Mimi for Youyou? As I get close to writing my 100th review, it has become quite apparent to me that it is virtually impossible for me to give a chain five stars. I know many people that absolutely love chains. If they can choose between Olive Garden or the incredible Salvino's up on Battleground, they prefer to go to an Olive Garden because they saw a commercial on TV and this plastic and neuter Italian restaurant comes with those air filled breadsticks and salad . To each his own, but I don't get it! So when Devon and I wanted to go out for Saturday brunch, we were sad to say that some of our favorites like Smith Street Diner were no longer around. We settled in on Mimi's at Friendly Shopping Center since we had not been there in a long time, it had been several years since I was there and it was the possibility to write another Yelp elite review since I hadn't been there since I became a Yelp writer. Like all chains go, it has a pretty exterior that is well maintained but nothing unique about it. The inside is enormous and so we were seated immediately. Nice spacious booths. I almost had a heart attack when I got the menu. Why are chains so expensive? I always find them to be more money than the Mom and Pop establishments and not nearly the quality as the restaurants that are owned and operated by family and Mom and Pop do the cooking. All I wanted was some eggs with toast but you could not get away with anything for less than $15 unless you wanted a bowl of oatmeal. I was shocked. I took Devon's advice and ordered eggs benedict since I have never had them before or maybe had it a long time ago when I was working on a cruise ship. The coffee kept coming, the service was fine and I thought the eggs benedict was very tasty. It was fun to try something new. I've seen them offered before on cruise ships and now I know next time to order them. Close to $40 for two for breakfast at a chain! That was a tough one to swallow. Devon assured me that all restaurants have gotten more expensive and chains tend to be on the pricey side. I don't get it! And that's all I have to say. I'm sorry my review is not more interesting but neither was the restaurant. It's fine, and if you like a chain it will probably knock your socks off but I just don't think I can give it any more than 3 stars. There's something special about patronizing restaurants and businesses that are still family owned and operated. They have such a different feel and I like being part of that atmosphere, but, if it's Saturday morning and you are looking to grab brunch without a long wait at a convenient spot with quick service and decent food and don't mind the chain and the crazy prices, this could be a good option! read more

My husband and I decided to have afternoon breakfast and visited this establishment. The parking lot was very crowded but we didn't have e to wait to be seated. We were seated back room that's kind of separated from the main dining area. OMG! It was freezing is this room. There was a clear drop in temperature when we stepped through the entryway. I mentioned this the waiter and he asked that the heat be turned up but the room never warmed up. My husband and I both ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and he got a waffle and I ordered pancakes. We were starving so when the food came out we were ready to eat. The eggs and bacon were COLD. I mean cold as if they had sat waiting for a while. The pancakes were luke warm and my husband's waffle was cold and crunchy. My husband has a stomach of stone and started his food anyway. I'm already freezing and cold breakfast is disgusting! I informed the waiter and he said he would have it remade. I agreed although I was very annoyed by then. My toes were cold and I was wearing UGG boots, so yeah, I'm annoyed. Not 2 minutes after I told the waiter the food was cold, the manager came out. She apologized and assured me that she would keep an eye on the remake. The food came out shortly afterwards piping hot and delicious. I changed my star from a 2 to a 3 because they made it right however, being so cold was very uncomfortable. read more

We went yesterday (Mother's Day) about 6:30pm. We were sat promptly but it was not near as busy as I would have thought for Mother's Day. It was VERY disappointing that they only offered their "special holiday" menu. I understand that they want to simplify execution on one of the busier days - BUT - I am highly offended that they took that opportunity to gouge the customer. The fixed menu was $36 per person for soup or salad, entree, and dessert. The entrees were very limited (pot roast that was NASTY, pasta sauce had zero flavor, salmon was small portion but tasted ok). And to top things off, they ran out of 2 of the 3 desserts that they offered so you HAD to order the only dessert left. Service was ok, nothing great (again, for Mother's Day, it was NOT very busy). I will not go back. It's unfortunate that they chose a holiday to price gouge and offer a limited menu that was just not good. read more

Went for Mothers Day, and I had reservations thru open table. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our reservation time. Considering how busy they were, that's not too bad. I was disappointed in their menu. Apparently, for Mothers Day, it was a total of 8 entrée options that included salad and dessert for $32.00 per meal (÷2.00 for the steak option). One of the main reasons we'd chosen Mimi's was because of their extensive menu, and everyone would be able to order whatever they liked. Obviously, this didn't happen. Our waitress was friendly and did a good job, but the food runners missed one person at our table. We had to ask for her food, and it was one of the Mom's. Considering how busy it was, it wasn't too loud, and we were about to converse among ourselves. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I was just sad it wasn't what we wanted. read more

We haven't been to Mimi's in a couple of years. The menu has expanded as well as the prices. (Just as everyone has) Our waitress was top notch and the atmosphere was good. Food was not as I remembered but the muffins were still great. I ordered a bacon avocado omelet that was a bit overcooked but still tasty. My husband had the crepes which he wasn't happy with because they didn't have much taste. My daughter however loved her French toast. The wait on this particular Sunday wasn't bad at all which was surprising. I'd rate the cleanliness a 7 on a 1-10 scale. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting the great little place for an amazing breakfast. A taste of New Orleans, accompanied by some wonderful artwork and decor that keep your eyes busy. Our waiter was very busy, but very knowledgeable, quick to answer any questions. Our orders were taken, condiments brought out with our drinks. I love organization!! The food was plated perfectly. The delectable smells make you want to try a little of everything . We ordered the stuffed French toast with strawberry drizzle accompanied by fresh cut strawberries and blueberries, cheesey eggs and bacon. I can't wait to try the lunch/dinner. The photos in the menu look so good. We are coming back soon Ms. Mimi... Drop in and ENJOY!!! High five read more

Each item was amazing and cooked to perfection.

First off, we had terrible service from the beginning. Our food sat in the warmers for a hot minute. Had to ask repeatedly for drinks to be refilled and even refilled sweet tea into an unsweet tea glass. My sister-in-law ordered a bacon and cheese omelette that had to be twice. We asked for the tip to be taken off so we could leave our own and the manager argued with us. Totally unprofessional and rude to us. We will not be back. read more

Mimi's in located in Friendly Center. It seemed like a busy place. I didn't have a wait as I somehow timed it in between the first and second lunch crowd. The service was pretty good here. Breakfast is served all day so that was tempting but I went with the chicken pot pie. I was pleased with the size and taste of the pot pie. I'd dine at Mimi's again. read more

The food here is not great, but decent. However, the waiter we had this evening was as sullen a person as I have ever met, and the overall impression from the staff was that Mimi's is no longer a very welcoming place. We won't be back. There are simply too many restaurant choices in Greensboro to return to a place that doesn't feel welcoming. read more

Been here several times. Food is always great, service is too. Easy to get to and plenty of parking.

Good food, though the menu could probably be cut in half. The machine they use to make their coffee was broken when we visited, so I opted for an iced tea which was standard. We waited about 40 minutes to be seated and the wait staff weren't the best, but we were able to bring home leftovers which is a plus. read more

Mimi's famous Pain Perdu (pan pare due) literally translates to "lost bread" because stale bread makes the best French toast. But let me tell you, there was nothing stale about this dish. Mimi's stuffs each piece with orange marmalade and cream cheese. I don't usually like orange marmalade but this called to me and I wasn't disappointed. At. All. The platter was huge and had 4 full slices of bread and it came with 2 eggs any style and choice of meat. The crispy bacon was perfect to alternate salty sweet. My friend got the same thing. Yummy!! read more

We really enjoyed breakfast at Mimi's. We ordered the two specials of the day. The chicken and waffles, and stuffed french toast. Both were very good. But the highlight was the chicken and waffles. The chicken was excellent. Perfectly fried with a nice crunch. We were excited to see that they have mimosas. Three flavors are available. Mango, peach, and orange. They also offer a flight to try all three. We had a peach and mango. I preferred the peach, but both were good and refreshing. read more

I haven't been to Mimi's in quite some time so I was excited to go back. We had a group of 7 people. We had been told we would be in the Winery but when we arrived they had another event going on in the room. We were seated in the main area and it worked but it was louder than we had hoped and the tables didn't go together well so there were awkward seams of different heights for those in the middle. The food was average. I ordered the corn beef hash Benedict. I was pleased you could order breakfast for dinner but it wasn't the best I've had. It was rather bland and a little cold. There wasn't much seasoning in the corned beef but they were nice large chunks of meat. I had the side of potatoes and they were undercooked. It's not a place I would run to again but it was OK for a chain style dinner. read more

If I'm being honest anytime I go to Mimi's Cafe, I only go for the breakfast options, the breakfast options are great. I always get the pain Perdue with only strawberries since I'm not a big fan of blue berries, any time I go I always ask for Gio, he's always attentive, great attitude, and always makes us laugh. I wouldn't ask for any other server, I always call ahead to make sure he's there because service with great attitude and great food is always the best combo! Seriously, get the mimosa flight when you stop by (also recommended by Gio last I was there), let me tell you it was really good especially after a long day. read more

We went to Mimi's Cafe to celebrate time together. We enjoyed an extra large booth that was roomy. The staff were friendly and attentive. I had a chopped Cobb and it was pretty big. I didn't love the ham... it tasted off. Maybe old? So I didn't eat much of it. Others had the pancakes and eggs, chicken pot pie - that's amazing, and the omelet. All was pretty good. The atmosphere was awesome. We had a great time. In addition our server was so attentive and helpful! Thank you! read more

This place is a great for brunch. The ambiance of soft music playing in the background in a nice comfy booth. Made it better! Our server was great, and attentive. We started off with the Brie, which wasn't the greatest. So I was starting to think we made a mistake. Until our food arrived: Sunrise omelette, pain Perdue with mixed berries, and kids buttermilk griddle cakes. Very delicious! And had plenty of leftovers! The omelette had just the right heat and the French toast was delicious! My little one loved her little "puppy" pancake but couldn't wait for a picture before picking at it hahaha. 9/10 would go back! :) read more

Well, ok at best. Really, it's an overpriced diner, this fact is revealed when you examine the quality of bread used for toast and that they serve Smuckers jam with it - good jam isn't expensive, at these prices it's not unreasonable to expect a little better than the worst. Service was good, though perhaps they should think to spread people out when the place isn't busy, there was no need to seat us next to a screaming kid with ~10 other booths/tables available. read more

I was there for breakfast this morning. At 8:30 it was not very busy; by 10:45, when I left, it was humming. The service was particularly good today - the waitstaff were efficient, knowledgeable and unobtrusive. The prices are at the upper end of breakfast prices but the variety of menu items justifies the prices. Their muffins are delicious, but caloric intense (many calories). I like this restaurant but I'm a small breakfast eater so it was too much for me. Give it a try read more

Am very happy to try this place the food it's amazing and the prices are very reasonable

I have no idea why this restaurant gives me the warm and fuzzy feel, but it does. Perhaps it is the delicious muffins. The service, the variety of the menu also helps. Service is friendly. I have always enjoyed everything I have ordered. Will I be back? Of course. read more

Kyle is the worst and obviously don't like his job. I called to place an order and he acted as if I was bothering him. He was not pleasant at all. Then I called because i noticed my online order went through ( I originally thought i didn't go through) and wanted to be sure I wasn't charged twice. He was unhelpful and very nonchalant. He asked if I had the order number which I didn't have because their website FROZE. So nothing went through or so I thought. Do better when picking out management Mimis. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get my money back because your website is faulty. read more

The food was excellent and deserves a 5* review. Our waiter was great, except that he was also acting as a bartender, so the service was slow. My issue was the Manager, he gets ZERO STARS. The fact that today, January 20th was Martin Luther King Day-as it is every year. Yes, it was also Inauguration Day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the tv's were on the inauguration, with no regard to clientele that feel the importance of MLK Jr Day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When the manager was asked to put half of the tv's on MLK Day celebrations/reporting, he outright refused. Instead, he turned off one tv in our dining room. Several staff members overheard the request and came by our table to express their agreement. This manager is representative of the restaurant and showed himself to be a racist, as well as someone who disregards anyone (including his staff) else's feelings. Also, the manager said he never plays sports on the TV, and yet the next thing we saw was football. So he is also a liar. See photos below. read more

Me and my partner visited Mimi's Cafe for breakfast today. We were sat immediately and the server was friendly but not the most attentive. I ordered the Sante Fe omelette and it came with home fries and choice of bread (toast or muffin). The waitress told me the omelette was very spicy and although I love spicy foods, she convinced me to get the chipotle sauce on the side. The sauce was very good but not spicy, in my opinion. It had more of a smokey flavor with a hint of heat. Overall the omelette lacked flavor and was more like a big scrambled egg with cheese mixed in. I did really like the tortilla strips on top, they gave a nice added texture. The potatoes were good but if I go again I'd order them without the onions and peppers. Overall the food was okay and I'd like to go back to try something else. read more

Mimi's has quite the array of southern staples for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and this weekend we stopped by for some brunch and was a relatively decent spot. I started with a peach mimosa that they had on special for the day which very tasty and would recommend to any of you peach lovers out there. They offer a few mimosas and even a flight to sample three of them as well and I think the mimosa was the best part of our visit. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Benedict which was good, but the dish overall was lacking some flavor and seasonings in my opinion. However the addition of the roasted potatoes as a side made the dish overall a decent and filling breakfast. My GF got one of the omelets and said the same thing of hers that it overall just needed more flavor for the dish. We will visit again in the future to give some other dishes a try though. read more
