Excellent service from Jazmin. I recommend the fish and chips and French onion soup. A few ordered the roast turkey dinner and enjoyed it very much. read more

Every time I come to Mimi's, and don't have Joslyn it's horrible The Waitresses here are rude, disrespectful, or they careless but I had the pleasure of having Joslyn today which made my day she's always such a joy, so sweet, so cute, so attentive and always on her a game. Thank you Joslyn without you this place will not be the same. read more

Normally wouldn't come to yelp to write a review for a franchise cafe but my service and food and experience as a whole was so above standard I felt guilty not coming on here to shine a light on how such a great job they did. The food was perfect and delicious, and felt like they really put a-lot of pride and love into our dishes, that was just the icing on the cake. What set this on a whole dining experience on a whole other level was The customer service we received from Rosie, extremely professional, sweet and just over all great vibe. Super rare these days. Thank you guys we will be back for-sure. read more

Came here with family, about 12 people. Waited for about 30 minutes for our drinks. Food came 25 minutes after ordering, half of our group had cold food. The other half had really hot plates but lukewarm food. Was definitely microwaved at least once in order for them to bring all our food out at once. I straight up asked the server if my food was microwaved and she got super defensive about it. My turkey dinner was sort of cold, turkey was very dry. I would say the food is decent but I don't recommend coming in large groups. Also, my step father ordered the skewers and it came cold so he sent it back, when he got it back they had clearly put half a hamburger on a stick! read more

Mimi's is a consistent place for breakfast & lunch. No need for my review as it always good. I prefer Mimi's for business type meetings. read more

See all

Good food and service! The vibe was chill.i loved it will come back for sure ! I recommend the pancake combo for sure.

Less than 1 star. I called 3 times to make a reservation for an event there per the instructions of the event. I spoke to 3 different people 3 different times & each confirmed that I was on the reservation list. When we got there- NOPE; I wasn't on any list. Rudest servers ever there. The ladies bathroom was disgusting. We spoke to the manager & he said well we are short because 3 people no-showed for work. That is no excuse! Cleanliness of a restaurant/bathroom should be a priority! Food was not good at all. I am never going back there. read more

Absolutely disgusting Cobb Salad. Made with pale iceberg lettuce, 3 bite-sized pieces of mushy turkey, petite diced tomato pieces that might have totaled 1Tbsp., had to ask for blue cheese they forgot to put in, NO CROUTONS or crackers or bread of any kind served with. Dressing had no flavor. Added salt and pepper, then asked for Italian dressing. Nothing redeemable about the food we received. The ONLY reason we didn't walk out was because our waiter was VERY nice and good at his job. Poor guy needs to go work at a place that serves edible food. Ambiance...bathrooms were dirty and the whole restaurant is in need of a good detailed cleaning and renovation. Hardly could believe this was a real Mimi's. So different than every other Mimi's I have ever been to. In hindsight...should have walked out after 1st bite. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. read more

I would highly recommend this place because it caters to all taste buds & also includes many of their fine dishes to pick from. read more

Mimi's Cafe - Pardon my touched meatloaf and mashed potatoes but this fine dish of theirs called "Mimis Meatloaf" is exquisite!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Love coming to this Mimi's, the service and food are always great! My favorite time is breakfast. I usually get pain perdu with eggs on the side or the bacon avocado omelet. Highly recommend taking muffins home too, especially carrot raisin. read more

Carlos the manager had great phone skills and made sure my DoorDash order was executed perfectly! Crepes were good and I like that they don't put sugar in the batter for the savory experience. The only thing that needs improvement is corporate needs to allow for modifications and add ons. read more

This Mimi's always has good food and helpful service. I usually have breakfast on weekdays and Erin is the best server. Quick and friendly!

This must be an old timers local breakfast spot because the food I ordered wasn't the best. The cinnamon rolls were hard and overly sweet. The eggs had no flavor. However turkey sausage was good. Probably won't come back especially after spending $16 on that. Not really worth it in my opinion. read more

Great service from Johnny. Super nice waiter and very friendly and funny. The food was amazing as well. French onion soup was perfect as usual and the Bacon, Bleu, Walnut salad was amazing! Can't wait to come back! read more

I went in for dinner on Sunday night. The restaurant had remodeled a little while ago and I wanted to give it a try. I sat at the bar and Jared was my server. He made helpful suggestions about what I should order since I have dietary restrictions. I had a Mediterranean Salad with spinach and Salmon as he suggested. It was amazing! Definitely returning to sit at the bar and have my glass of wine, my salad, and Jared's amazing service. read more

Fantastic service and food! Jocelin was great. My gf and I loved our dishes! The breakfast burrito was really good and was freakin colossal! We will be back. read more

I took my friend to Mimi's Cafe on 17th St. in Tustin yesterday, 1/23/23 Monday. I ordered Quiche Lorraine for my breakfast. It was the worst food I have ever gotten in any restaurant in my 76 years. I did not complain because I did not want to spoil my time with my friend. I will never, never go back to this Mimi's. It used to be a really nice place to eat, but no more. Deborah M. read more

If anyone reads my reviews, I love to rant about a great experience. I'm not sure anyone will read this including management at this location but unfortunately, In good conscience, I had to say something so that somebody who needs to read this, ...can. We have not been to this location since COVID, which we sat outside, menu less and made the best out of a bad situation. We were very hungry today after the gym and when Mimi's was suggested, we hustled over there. No slight to the waiter, he was wonderful. Truthfully, the food was extremely bland and one-dimensional; not a pinch of salt or pepper on anything. My girlfriend had the Salmon Eggs Benedict, which she ate about half. The salmon is supposed to be cold and raw and it was overcooked; put onto the plate too soon and unfortunately, the English muffin was so saturated, she could have rung it out with her hands. Overall, gross and bland meal and not prepared correctly. I had the 3-egg Bacon Avocado Omelette and I was oh so excited about this. If I could sum it up in two words this plating I would say, was "One- Dimesional". The bread was stale and it smelled a little funny ( I wasn't sure if it was me at first having come from the gym ), but quickly figured out it was not me...... my girlfriend tried it and she said the bread tasted awful. Everything from the potatoes and the veggies and the egg and the tomato and the cheese and the spinach...... even the bacon, had zero flavor and I'm not exaggerating and I don't have COVID either!!! For the love of God, would it have killed them to add a little spice or flavor at all to this entree?? I digress. I've run many successful restaurants in my life and this has to be one of the most disappointing experiences of being at a restaurant I've had in a long time. My girlfriend didn't care to bring home her leftovers and I left half a plate. I'm the guy that finishes my plate and yours at the table. I will say the coffee was bomb and so was the ice water. Not to poke fun, this is a place in our neighborhood that we've come to rely on that took our breath away today. read more

Happy with the service it was our first time here very homie place ( like grandmas house ) the minute we get there we were greeted & sat quickly. Our waitress was Stephany she was such a help. My best friend & I were in between the regular French toast & pain perdu Grande (French toast w/ berries , strawberry jam & orange merengue inside it ) & we asked her for her suggestion & she suggested we should get the toppings on the side so it wouldn't penetrate so much & become sweet . It was such a perfect combination not to sweet & light o. The stomach:) & then we ordered the Salmon Benedict & we had told her we were going to share the meal & she went out of her way to split it both things for us Thank You so much ! Soooo recommend read more

They wouldn't let my 85 year old grandmother order chicken strips from the kids menu. So whomp whomp, we never went back. What the heck?

The ambiance and food are awesome here. This is a staple of ours especially when family is visiting. There is always something on the menu for everyone. Their muffins alone are worth the trip. We came today (12/26) for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised that we had no wait. They wanted to seat our party of 6 in the "banquet room". I didn't hear anyone call it that, but that's what they told my wife. It was just a largish table (seats about 8-10) in a large alcove that it shares with the bathrooms. It was kinda yuck and smelled like it was right next to the bathrooms. After being re-seated elsewhere we had a fantastic brunch with the family. I wish I had made a note of our server's name because he was fantastic. He was not one of the high school/college kids, which is what I credit to his being so good ("okay Boomer", yes I'll accept that on this one - it was the high school/college kids who tried the toilet table on us and said there was nowhere else our party would fit - ummm been here before young'un, know that's not true). Anywho, our "Boomin'" server was great, as was the food - but that's always great at this Mimi's. Full disclosure, this place can get very busy on the weekends and don't even try Mother's Day here without a reservation or the inclination to wait hella long for a table. But it'll be worth the wait imho. read more

We have been to Mimi's for many years to have breakfast. The service for breakfast and food quality has suffered since the pandemic like most restaurants but sill pretty sad. Today I chose to go in for lunch on my own. I ordered the tomato basil soup bowl... gross!!! It was like trying to eat a bowl of warm ketchup... no garnish just a nasty bowl... I also ordered the Cesar salad and was told they had No croutons.... Wtf!?!? It's a basic ingredient to have at this place. I sat there as long as I could after a few sips of that mast soup and watered down petite Cesar salad... there was no dressing on it. Wet lettuce and Parmesan cheese on it. So damn gross!!! read more

We always have good service when we come here for dinner, but tonight was exceptional! Our server Rachel was not only very attentive and professional, she was also personable and fun! She was great about explaining some of the dishes but also made some great recommendations. We will ask to be seated at one of Rachel's table from now on! All servers should be as upbeat and enthusiastic as Rachel! The food is always tasty! Tonight, I had the Pick Three selection where you pick one from each category (half sandwich, salad and soup). I had Tuna and Cheddar, Spinach salad and Mimi's fabulous French Onion soup. It was very good and very filling! This is part of the new menu, which still has an abundance of dishes to choose from. What is really nice is that the calorie count is now listed for each of the items. If you join Mimi's email club, you will receive a coupon for BOGO free entrée on a regular basis. This coupon make Mimi's great prices even better! Tip: If you get to Mimi's before 6:00 pm, you will be ahead of the crowd! We are usually seated immediately when we arrive around 5:30 but there is typically people waiting to be seated as we are leaving. read more

It's my grandmas favorite place! We always Have a good time with great service when we come here. I appreciate their always changing menu. This time I ordered the quinoa and kale sandwich. Delicious and nutritious :) Joanna was our served tonight, she's awesome! read more

Food was delicious but the service is awful. Waited and waited and waited for our check along with other tables. Short staffed.

I was very disappointed in this Mimi's. It felt like they've just given up. I ordered the rustic chicken and it was bad. The chicken was exactly like Tyson frozen chicken shown in my picture. Mushy texture. Instant mashed potatoes. It all tasted like a TV dinner. I ate half, brought half home and the next day threw it straight in the garbage. Wasn't going to revisit the unappetizing glop. The waitress was nice tho. read more

Had high hopes after the massive remodel and name change. Unfortunately, all the changes are for the worse. Mimi's Bistro has lost it's old country French mystique. Now, it's all new. The foot is warmed up frozen or fried food! Music is just modern and 80's music instead of French. Chicken and waffles was terrible. Deep fried breaded chicken from frozen (only two small pieces). Waffle were soggy. Quiche Loraine was a joke! Clearly warmed up frozen and nothing fresh made about it! Requested fresh fruit instead of potatoes on the side. They charge $1 for ANY substations! What a scam!! Mimi's has fallen so far from the mark. No wonder they are all closing. Don't waste your time or money! I was so irritate, I forgot to take photos! A meal for three was $48!! read more

The food was delicious! I've never had a grilled cheese sandwich with enough cheese before! Our server, Stephany, was wonderful. She was attentive to our needs. And she went out of her way to make sure we knew about the upcoming specials. If I have a complaint it is that the deserts look delicious but $8 for cake and ice cream is a bit much. The food prices were not as outrageous. read more

Met with family and was greeted with enthusiasm by hostess and waitress. Menu has a good selection to choose from-mostly American comfort food that tasted great! They used to have a muffin with the salad but no more! You have to buy it separately but it is worth it! Pumpkin and blueberry are my favs-Bran is Dad's fav-gooey goodness! Prices are average for this day and since it is not fast food but really good home style cooking it is worth the cost! Gotta try it! read more

Went for breakfast about 8:30 Sunday morning. We were only 1 of 3 tables. Was disappointed to find out they didn't serve chicken fried steak or hashed browns. Service seemed like it took forever considering the restaurant was basically empty. Ordered eggs benedict that was disappointing. if you decide to try this restaurant, pass on the waitress who's about 40 years old with scraggly gray hair. read more

Excellent food and service! The waffles were PERFECT and our server Stephanie was a joy! Thank you!

Hi, I come here regularly as part of a large group. Even though we can get there late we are always accommodated and Stephany is a great server. Food is good, the menu changes from time to time. One of my favorites is breakfast all day. read more

Great and friendly service received by Stephanie. Took the time to explain the menu to us

My mother loves French Onion soup and after a long day supervising the final set of repairs to her home that had been damaged by a waterless, she was exhausted. So, we went to Mimi's for their onion soup which was served piping hot and was delicious, staving off the hangries. Our server was lovely man named Jared, who was rocking the coolest hair for miles. He was gracious, prompt, and professional and made the meal a pleasure. The special of the day (Thursday) was a delicious French Pot Roast, served over mashed potatoes. It really was delicious, slightly sweet gravy, served too hot to eat (which is how all food should be served in our opinion) and as it cooled, it was just lovely, tender, fragrant, and perfect as the sun went down. Jared kept my mom happy with fresh warm bread, and at $9.99 for the entree, we both ended up ordering it. I'd read a review that said it was very salty, so I was hoping it wouldn't be, and it wasn't! We grew up with a low salt diet (my mom's doctor told her 50 years ago that there is too much salt in American food, and it wasn't healthy) and so while we do use salt, we just need very little of it, so we are both quick to note with food is over salted, and our meal wasn't. Maybe a new chef, but it was great not to feel thirsty after our meal! We had a lovely meal, it didn't take long, and the location is perfect, right off the freeway. Jared, peace out. read more
