What a delightful restaurant!! This was my first time here. The parking for this restaurant is abundant. I was greeted warmly and seated within a reasonable time. This quaint restaurant has such a wonderful vibe with very whimsical atmosphere. There is a nostalgic New Orleans and jazz theme art decorations with a touch of humor. Since I was there around 10:40 I asked my waitress for the lunch menu. I ended up talking to the waitress and discussing that I had time to wait. I decided on lunch and she let me know that I would need to wait for a short time. It was actually only about 10 minutes. How sweet of my waitress Laura to worry about my time. I ended up deciding on a cheese sandwich and French Onion soup. I was pleasantly surprised that my meal was cheaper as I only paid an additional $0.99 cents for the soup as it was in place of fries. Laura was so kind, attentive and personable. She also asked me if I had been to the restaurant before. I informed her that this was my first time. She pleasantly informed me that first time customers received two free muffins of my choice. I asked her what her favorite muffin was she said Blueberry. I decided on the blueberry. I must admit that they were indeed very tasty and plump full of what tasted like fresh blueberries not frozen or dried. Thank you so much Laura. I hope that your employer gives you a ton of kudos. Your pleasant demeanor and generosity have guaranteed that I will definitely return and bring my family. read more

Mr. Patrick provided me and my family exceptional service when dining here last week. I would recommend the French pot roast with mashed potatoes it was a very good meal and the ambience is a nice touch as well. Most of all I wanted to give a shout out to a server there(Patrick). Gave me a good overall experience and I would rate him and the food five stars. Thank you very much and have a good Sunday read more

When we went in we were seated immediately. Kathy, the server, quickly informed us that they had only one cook and three servers working. Letting us know this from the start made a huge difference in our attitude. She took our drink order, and quickly retrieved our drinks. She realized without even being told that she had given one of our party a diet instead of regular Coke, and she fixed it without even being told about the mix-up. She tended to her guests who arrived before us, and then took our order. It wasn't much of a wait at all. Our order didn't take too long to arrive, even with only one cook. We all thought our food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. My sons had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and both said it was amazing! Pros: delicious food, cute atmosphere, friendly service Cons: we didn't find this place earlier read more

Excellent!! First time I've been here, and I'm coming back soon!! Food is so fresh and delicious, service was superlative read more

Mimi's Cafe - Eggg Benny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

When my wife and I enter the establishment, it was colder inside then outside making it a bad first time experience for us. As we sat and waited for our breakfast, we can tell they never turned on the heater as my legs and thigh was getting colder to the point of shivering. Didn't enjoy our breakfast while eating and being very cold at the same time. Got the two egg platters over easy with corned beef hash, potatoes and toast, nothing special and potatoes was fried hoping it would be crispy on the outside but it wasn't and seems undercooked and oily. Awful first time experience especially trying to have a awesome day with the wife on valentines day. I don't think I'll be back to this establishment as there is alot of breakfast place in reno. Glad I tried it though read more

We love coming to Mimi's and have never experienced service like we did with Shawna. She was so rude and seemed very annoyed to be "dealing" with us. I'm a server as well and I would never treat someone the way she did us. I always tip, but this occasion I DIDNT. Hopefully it will show her that she should have a better attitude when serving guests. Food is always great. No thanks to her. read more

It is like going to your grandparents to eat. The place is clean & the food is really good. If you like chick pot pie, this is THE spot. It is not inexpensive so watch for their 2 for 1 coupons read more

Usually like Mimi's and my Wife and I go there a couple of times a month. However, I had what I think was the most tasteless meal I have ever gotten at a restaurant today. Service was good as always! My Wife got one of their salmon dishes, which she liked but I had the waffles and chicken. Unfortunately-they left all the flavor out!! I've had them before and they were fine-but today the chicken was absolutely flat-tasted like slightly wet newspaper. Should have sent them back-but I just ate the waffle and didn't. Big swing and a miss Mimi's!! read more

DISGUSTING!!! Ordered via Door Dash and my Dasher was absolutely amazing. The issue is not with her. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with a side of sausage links. The entire meal was covered in so much salt that it was inedible. That is not even the worst part. The salmon was rancid and tasted like it had been sitting in the sun for three straight days. It was definitely rotten and should not have been served to anybody. I will not even feed it to my dogs. The sausage links tasted like they were out of a frozen Dollar Tree meal. Not only that, but the sausages were pink in the middle. My potatoes were sitting in a puddle of grease, also rendering them inedible. I'm super nauseated from just one bite. Do yourself a favor and run far away from MiMi,'s Cafe. read more

Arrived at work 40 minutes early. Options ? Walmart, McDonald's, 7-11, Einsteins bagels? With 40 minutes I decided to sit down and enjoy my time. Mimi's Cafe was opened and worthy of a try. There was no hostess but that didn't stop Lindsey from stepping into the role welcoming me. Lindsey showed me immediately to my table. Having had time to review the menu, I ordered eggs Benedict. 2 light and airy poached eggs atop a thick sliced piece of ham sat abed English muffins grilled in what tasted like a garlic infused butter topped with a velvety hollandaise. Fingerling potatoes finished the meal. Arrived at 7 am and was able to leave by 725. Arrived on time to work. It was a wonderful treat and a great way to start the day. read more

Love this spot and the food is always amazing. Have been here so many times for breakfast! They also have the best muffins ive ever had. Our server Alex (Alejandro) was great as well. Definitely recommend here if you havent been before! read more

Went to Mimi's cafe for Mother's Day. The service was good, and our order came out quickly. I ordered the 1/2 chicken and it was terrible. I was dry like it had been sitting in the oven for hours. When I told our waitress all she would do is offer some muffins which I declined as there was not telling how long they were sitting. I will never go again. read more

Not to impressed with the service or the quality of the food. I remember coming to Mimi's like ten years ago and it was always consistently good for having breakfast, brunch or lunch. The service was lacking. Our waitress never introduced herself. We waited along time to have our order placed and we had to ask continuously for the things that we ordered. My son asked for bread and had to ask repeatedly for it to be brought out. Our waitress was in such a rush that she threw our plates down on the table as if she were dealing a deck of cards. I know service is bad when my teens make a comment about the rudeness. My chicken crepe that I ordered was dry and not to thrilled with the tiny salad portion that came with my entree. I will not be returning here. Better local places all over the city to eat than here. read more

Came here with some friends and I got the same server as last time. Still five stars. My party of 5 enjoyed our food and the service was excellent. I noticed the less than stellar reviews noted that their server was a guy. My girl server was awesome! My coffee was refilled 3 times and I didn't have to ask. She was on top of everything and it was a busy Sunday too! Back to the food... I liked the cornbeef benedict more than the crepe I ordered this time, but they are both good. Steak and eggs looked juicy, the chicken and waffles come with warm syrup which is always a bonus in my book. The waffles were super fluffy. I didn't try the salad or omelet. I also didn't get to photograph the blueberry muffin but that was one delicious muffin! It was super moist. It isn't just a regular blueberry muffin! read more

Called to see if they have breakfast all day. They do. Yay! Go to order then oy thing I want on the menu- eggs Benedict, a... breakfast item... and they stop serving that particular dish at 2 Order 2 splits of champagne - the dude brings them and ask if we "want the glasses to go with it" read more

The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious. I prefer my stuffing on the softer side, and that's good for me, but it may be a bit soft and grainy for others. The corn chowder was DELISHES! Better half had a salad and shrimp skewers. Price is more $$$ than I would like, but the food is worth it once in a while. This may not be a GO-TO SPOT for us, but it will be a nice place for the occasional nice sit down meal together. read more

we took 2 friends visiting to Mimi' yesterday 4/30/23 at 1:00pm. for lunch. And no, seated at the very back of the restaurant she wasn't busy. The server we had was terrible!!! we had to ask for fresh coffe twice since the coffe was cold. We had to ask for refills on our beverages since she never came back to our table! she never checked on us while we were all eating. Horrible experience. we will never go back! M Mendez read more

So I was gonna take la picture but I forgot lol!! I had the croissant egg and avocado sandwich. It was so good. It came with a small bowl of fruit too. I just had dental work done so it was nice and soft to eat. My waitress was so sweet. Checking on me making sure I was ok. Ask for Azita as your waitress shes awesome!! read more

Asked for a vegetarian omelet, got an egg-white omelet. Was charged 3.29 for potatoes which I thought was included, not told about it. Omelet came with some lettuce and tomatoes as garnish? Or was I supposed to have a breakfast salad? Potatoes, omelette and toast all tasted bad. $23 with tip for a meal I'm throwing away. read more

My server, Maria, was very nice. The hostess was also warm and friendly, though I didn't note her name (she had gorgeous silver hair). I feel weird going to a sit-down restaurant to dine alone, but a friendly staff always makes me feel more comfortable. I decided to go with breakfast and get the French toast. I didn't notice it came with eggs and choice of protein, and since I'm a vegetarian, I asked if I could get some mixed berries instead of meat. Maria was very kind and brought me a little side of mixed berry compote. Yum! read more

Mimi's Cafe - (Post-buttered) French toast! I asked for mixed berries instead of bacon/sausage/ham. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Mimi's is a wonderful cafe that it's a great spot to grab a breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food here is always delicious. I got the 1/2 sandwich and soup for lunch. At first you don't really know if it sounds like enough food, but it was perfect and didn't leave me hungry or overfilled. The muffins here are really tasty. It's a popular cafe and there always seems to be a wait but the food is worth it. I've had the quiche here before and really enjoyed that too. They have a kids menu that the kids can color and play games on. It keeps our 5 year old busy until the food comes. It has New Orleans style decor, which is very cluttered looking. But the place is always clean when we come. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Mimi's has become one of my families favorite breakfast restaurants, and there are several reasons for this. Two weeks ago on a Saturday morning I had only a few minutes for breakfast prior to a flight, and they delivered. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, and the breakfast was fantastic. Yesterday they met all the 'high maintenance' needs of my wife and I. We were attempting to get rid of every extra saturated gram of fat that we could and this restaurant makes it easy. They've got a light and fit section of the menu that really helps, and I had the five alarm veggie omelet with chipotle sauce. It was great, served with fruit, fresh squeezed juice and dry toast. I opted out of the toast for a low-fat blueberry muffin and it proved to be a great breakfast. My wife ordered a different omelet, and she had them make it with egg whites only. They had a can-do attitude, and our waitress was friendly, up-beat and very helpful. It might not matter to you, but the bathroom is always clean. In a nutshell, this will continue to be on our short list of good breakfast places in Reno. read more

DO NOT GO HERE when they have a special menu! We were invited to join family there for Mother's Day. They had a pre-set menu. We had a 5:00 pm reservation and they had already ran out of food items. We did not leave for 2 1/2 hours!!!! The service took forever and by the end we were all very restless and wanted nothing more than to leave that restaurant! read more

I never put a bad review down but I have to say that one of my all time favorite restaurants was the worst place to spend Mother's Day. Had the pot roast and it came out like slop on a plate. It was bland and had mostly mushrooms and carrots. No meat chunks at all. My sons chicken Mac n cheese looked like soup and was hardly edible with no flavor. Our dessert the molten lava cake was cold and the chocolate was frozen on top. My son told the manager and he was less than kind and walked away while my son told him his disappointment. The worst part is we were charged over $70 for the meal we didn't eat. Not sure we will be back anytime soon. Our waitress was kind and we tipped her well. Bummer and it ruined my Mother's Day. read more

I know this is a corporate chain, so expectations should be in line with that. But this place was a bit much. On a Sunday night visit to Reno I was craving something sweet and options at the hotel weren't appealing. Nothing much available in quick walking distance. I guess Reno shuts down on Sunday nights? So we ordered their caramel apple pie with "scoop" of ice cream and bread pudding. What arrived was a slice of partially frozen pie about an inch and a half wide, it rattled around in the box like a lonely ice cube and was accompanied by one of the tiny plastic cups of ice cream that they put salsa in. That is, literally maybe a tablespoon and a half of ice cream. No exaggeration. Melted of course. For this lovely desert we paid over $12 before any delivery fees and tax. It might have been forgiven if it had been good. It was not. Sickly sweet and hardly any apple. The bread pudding was hard, overcooked, also extremely skimpy with sauce. It had a giant clump of raisins in it about 3 inches across. Guess the cook didn't feel like stirring. It was really just lousy amd it's kind of hard to wreck bread pudding. Perhaps this chain is alright in other places but this branch clearly doesn't care at all about the quality of their food or the satisfaction of customers. Overall charge of near $35. Never again. There's inflation, and there's outright corporate thievery. They should be ashamed of themselves. Pic has one bite taken. Rest will go in the trash. Bloody awful. read more

Coffee bland, service was poor on refills, asked for eggs over medium and were well done no yoke first time had to use knife to cut eggs. Corn beef hash was chunks of corn beef over home fries. read more

They keep sending us coupons, so we keep coming here! So far, with the exception of a sandwich that had bread that was a bit over toasted, the food has been excellent. The service has always been wonderful. Prices are not bad (especially with a coupon) and they have not been crowded when we have had dinner or lunch, although I hear it gets crazy for weekend brunch. Check out my pictures to see some of the things we eaten! I am kinda in love with their French onion soup. It is made in the cruet with the crouton under a layer of melted/toasted parmesan cheese. Oh, also, the pumpkin spice latte is a latte with actual pumpkin spice in it, not just flavored syrup read more

Came here for Sunday brunch for a party of 8 and our waiter was so nice and attentive. He was very responsive to my niece and nephew who are special needs, and he made sure we had what we needed. He was personable and friendly. Our food also came out fast and fresh. Everything was great! read more

Went here today for lunch and the service was pretty much non existent. They gave us menus but that was about it. We waited there for about 15 minutes and no one ever came to give us waters or take our order. It appeared that the waitress was more interested in organizing the menus at her counter than taking our order. I couldn't tell you if the food was any good because we ended up walking out. I will never go back. We ended up going to IHOP and the service there blow Mimi's out of the water. read more

I've come here for lunch several times and it's always been pretty good but today I came here for breakfast. I ordered bacon, eggs, and potatoes and cream cheese crepes. Everything tasted ok but it was all cold, except for my potatoes they were at least warm. Our server was nice enough but was very busy with other tables so we waited awhile to get our coffee refilled and then at the end of our meal it took forever for her to bring a box and the bill. read more

We went to Mimi's Cafe for a quick bite after soccer. We were impressed! Great building w awesome decorations and the Menu great and big! Service good and the kid meals were very homemade..

Food was good but it's breakfast you can't really mess up a waffle. They play loud carnival/jazz music or some nonsense but it was weird. Then I started to look around and there were animals on the walls but it was New Orleans themed? Carpets were dirty. Creeped me out. Waitress was very nice though. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Huh?? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My experience at mimis was absolutely fantastic, from the staff to the food everthing bled excellence. I wil definitely be returning!

The reason there is no line out the door is the food. The service was fine and the server herself was very nice. Don't order the oatmeal! It's just reheated quarter oats and it's gummy and pasty and gross. The two egg breakfast with potatoes and turkey sausage was not much better. The potatoes seemed reheated and dried out and the sausage was also unappealing. I've had better food at cafeterias and fast food places. Don't waste your time or money, read more

Our server Patrick was amazing, very attentive and great customer service Now the food was very disappointing. I ordered the Thanksgiving dinner plate and was salty, my son ordered croissant sandwich he was not too fond of, my little girl ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was rubbery and thin, the waffle was ok... My oldest daughter ordered the shrimp feta salad and she liked hers. overall I would go elsewhere. I would not suggest this place. read more

I can only review Mimi's Cafe based on the private dining/meeting space. I've been to many networking events all over the United States. Here in Reno there's a bit of a trend of large groups, ordering a la carte and getting separate checks. I am use to paying a fee that covers a basic breakfast. The menu for breakfast runs from healthy to glutinous. At these meetings I tend to go on the healthier and least messy option. Maybe it's just me but I find if I'm eating a messy meal with strangers, it'll wind up on my clothes. The food always hits the spot and my ice tea glass never seems to go below 1/2 filled. I'm just blown away by the service here. It's usually just one waitress. I've been in groups as small as 10 people and as large as 25. The waitress takes all the orders, separates the all checks, and never lets anyone's beverage go below half mast. WOW! If you're looking for a place to have breakfast, with a group of people, business or pleasure, with separate checks and budget friendly this is the place. read more
