Richard was great, very attentive and on top of our order. The turkey royal was amazing! 10/10

Food was really good and service was amazing. Our server was Richard and he had very nice customer service skills.

Not from this area and was originally going to chili's but the wait was 40 mins long. I saw minis across the street and immediately thought free bread! We headed over and the kids and us had 4 baskets. I was happy their food quality hasn't changed from what I remembered. We got the cinnamon roll French toast, French dip and grilled chicken pesto on a ciabatta bread. Food was good and my 6 year old ened up eating half my sandwich and 1 cinnamon roll toast! Next time I'm ordering the kids the French dip to share. Potatoes au gratin was creamy and potatoes were cooked right and the quinoa ferro and brown rice medley was good as well, but has no seasoning (probably for people trying to make healthier choices). Cinnamon roll toast was sweet as expected with a lot of Cinnamon gooey sauce swirled into bread. Good portions, happy with service, nice calm atmosphere. I wish mimis had more locations. read more

Mimi's is classic. I'm from Downeyc this spot was a staple for my entire generation. Post-school, weekends, family breakfasts... Mimi's was always in the rotation. So coming out to Orange County, I expected a more refined version of that same experience, especially compared to the chaos of the always-packed Downey location sitting right next to a high school. Unfortunately, this location misses the mark, and not in small ways. After four separate attempts to give it a fair shot, the pattern is clear. Undercooked fingerling potatoes, smoked salmon that tasted like it had been sitting open in a fridge for days, and wait times that make no sense for a brick-and-mortar breakfast spot. Once is a mistake. Four times is a standard. There's a principle in business, your reputation is everything, and consistency is what protects it. Right now, this location isn't protecting anything. It's coasting on the name while letting execution slip, and customers notice. I wanted this to be my go-to again. But at a certain point, you stop giving chances and start making decisions. read more

Enjoyed a delicious brunch with my mom on Mother's Day. The place was chaotic to say the least, even with a reservation, but attitude is everything. You could definitely see that they were short staffed, but EVERYONE working today had a pleasant attitude and kept apologizing for the delays. The food was great! It took a long time to get ordered and served (1hour), but it was hot and very good! read more

We were delighted to find a Mimi's Cafe in Yorba Linda. We had breakfast and were greeted by Freedie. He was warm and friendly. He took our order, and the food met our expectations. The pancakes with strawberries and blueberries were delicious, and the ham and sausage omelet was amazing. Freedie was always willing to check on us and see if we needed anything. His great. Even though he is also serving other customers, he provides excellent customer service. The ambiance is excellent. The place is clean and quiet. It was a fantastic experience, and we will return for the delicious food and excellent service. read more

This mimi's location is the best because of Freddy/Jose!! He's genuinely such an amazing manager and he provides the best service. Anything we ever needed he gave it to us without any problem. He is the best if you come ask for him to be your server :)) read more

Mimi Cafe & Bakery Restaurant had significantly declined over time, and this recent visit (midweek for dinner) highlighted that. The place is pretty empty, except for maybe at best, 9 two-seater tables occupied by patrons. It's certainly the weekend crowd that is keeping this place afloat. The service was okay nothing spectacular and the bread basket now charges $2.99 to add a couple madeleines when it used to be free. We ordered our usual dinner combo - tuna melt and my French toast plate. It's tasty but for the price for sandwiches and fries, just gives me heartburn that I didn't want to take any pictures. I even mentioned I'm here with an uncle to celebrate birthday . . . barely got an acknowledgement other than a subtle "hey happy birthday". Regardless, it my habit to alway get a 4-pack muffins. It's one thing that never disappoints but likelymy last time. read more

I was there with my small service dog the other day and freddy was very hospitable. I was able to take him inside in his small stroller. Luckily, it was early in the morning, so it wasn't too busy so I was able to get the back room to myself. but Freddy was very attentive and I will be coming back. And they just started selling chicken chilaquiles and they we're really good read more

My mom and I had the best Sunday lunch here! Freddy was very kind to us and even gave me extra gravy for my French pot roast, which was delicious! I highly recommend this dish. Please come to this location for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you're in Yorba Linda. This Mimi's Cafe has been here for YEARS and we've never had a bad experience here. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I'm so so glad to see that it's still here. I will definitely be coming back soon to visit this wonderful restaurant and staff. read more

I have lived in Yorba Linda my entire life, and this place has always been a neighborhood staple for us. We stopped coming about two years ago when both the food and service declined, but decided to give it another try for breakfast this morning--and I'm so glad we did. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious, the service was truly five stars, and the overall experience felt completely refreshed. A special shout-out to Jose, who was an amazing server and made the morning even better. We'll definitely be back. read more

We came here after other restaurants were packed with long waits. Already not feeling good after seeing only handful of tables occupied. I had the chicken salad and it was soggy with sauce, very few pieces of chicken. Now I know, great spot and I hope they will get better. read more

When my husband asked where we wanted to go eat for dinner tonight I thought Mimi's sounded great since I was in the mood for that type of food. Unbeknownst to me what an absolute catastrophe that decision would end up being. When my family walked into this barren wasteland, there was no one to be seen except one person at the far end of this deserted establishment who was already eating. Five minutes later after awkwardly standing at the hostess stand looking around for any signs of life, out walks a waitress headed to that one table, that almost walked by us until she made eye contact and realized we were about to make the mistake of dining there. She sat us down on the other end of the restaurant where we were about to wait 30 MINUTES to not even receive a round of waters or get a drink order in. NOTHING. We were handed menus and left completely neglected while staff was prancing around the bar area and the kitchen doing God knows what. There wasn't anyone else eating so I don't know how busy they possibly could have been just to completely ignore us. In the meantime I'm trying to assure my family that I'm sure they won't forget about us for much longer, as my 7 year old is hungry and desperate to eat, and I feed my baby her dinner in her high chair. I see an employee standing idle at the host stand staring over at us periodically. I counted to about the 5th time we made eye contact and still not a round of waters, checking in on us, taking an order... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It was then I decided I wasn't going to waste any more time on this sad excuse for a restaurant and we got up to leave. I can see why this Mimi's is a depressing desolate corpse of what it used to be. There would be better service at a hospital cafeteria. We left and went across the street to Chilis, where they seated us quickly, had great service and the food was great! A way better experience. It ended up being a blessing in disguise we didn't need to waste a single dollar at Mimi's. I would advise anyone not to waste their time at Mimi's. (At least this specific location, I love other locations) This restaurant is a pathetic uninhabited ghost town for a reason. read more

We have rediscovered Mimi's Yorba Linda. Cafe was immaculate! Wife and I had Hibachi Salmon and Citrus Salmon salad. Both prepared excellent! Granddaughter had Chicken Tenders which were also excellent. Our server Richard was outstanding! Very personable, pleasant and professional. We will definitely be back. Thank you. read more

I have not been to a Mimi's Cafe in a long time. It seems that they changed their menu. The Roasted Corn Fritters were really, really good. They're filled with corn, cheese and fried along with a chipotle dipping sauce. All of the meals that we ordered were good. There are some items that I definitely want to try next time. The patio seating is lovely too. Not great when it's hot, but when it's nice out, it's a great spot. read more

I went on may 9,2026 @ approximately 7:30 pm, for dinner, I saw a lady complaining to the waiter that the food was awful. So I order drinks hot espresso, peanut butter coffee, it tastes awful. The dinner I order was chicken and mash potatoes. the chicken was dried up, potatoes were salty. My 3 other quests were very disappointed! Their food was hard they order ribeye steak! Awful. All the food was cold. Who ever is running this place, better check your cooks. Awful! Now I understand why this lady was upset. We as customers pay a lot of money to go eat . Waiter didn't give us water. We requested water with ice, never got it. We sat in the back room. I will never recommend this place ever again. Terrible. We complain to the waiter, this guy looks so exhausted. Short stocky older man . Worked the back area. I live in Yorba Linda, ca . I invited my family from out of town, recommended them to Mimi's ! Bad mistake!! this waiter didn't even give a a discount. Will not recommend to friends and family. This was my pre mother day. People listen to your costumers. You will lose your costumers. So upset! Spent this money! Wasteful! I should have went to in and out, for pre Mother's Day. I will be calling the BBB, because you're taking advantage of people. And these ridiculous food prices. BAD! BAD! FOOD.... I would've put zero stars, but it will not post so I had to put one star. This place doesn't deserve any stars. I want a refund nasty nasty food. read more

What could improve? Everything, ftom the food to the workers who take your orders for take out to the people in the back getting your food ready to go. We ordered at the counter a several months ago and the guy ran my credit card twice. I got a refund in about a week. My husband went in a couple of months ago and they ran his card through 4 times. He got a refund for the overage in about 10 days. Today we ordered quiche Lorraine and it has ALWAYS been with bacon (traditional QL). Today we took it home after my husband waited for over 40 minutes for them to finally say, what are you here for and did you order on line, over the phone? No, my husband said, I gave YOU the order 40 minutes ago! Needless to say it was cold so I warmed it at home in the microwave. After taking one bite, we realized it was not bacon, but ham! I am Not a fan of ham so for me it was very disappointing. For the past 30 some years it has always been bacon. I have always liked Mimi's when we lived in Ventura County, but this Mimi's has managed to only disappoint so unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

Waitress was attentive, food was great and fresh, ambience was great.. will come back

We've been coming to Mimi's Café in Yorba Linda for about four years now, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots, not just because the food is great, but because the service is truly exceptional. Every time we come, Hanna, Zoya, and Jackson go above and beyond to make our experience special. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine thoughtfulness, especially with our kids, never go unnoticed. With so many dining options around, it's the people that keep bringing us back here. Even though servers may change over time, the level of care and hospitality we consistently experience at Mimi's feels consistent and genuine. We're truly grateful for the warmth and service we receive every time we walk through those doors. Thank you for making every meal feel like a special memory for our family. read more

Tonight my friend and I came to Mimi's had this amazing waiter. His name is Richard and he was attentive. He made sure our coffee and water was never empty. He is a new employee. He represents Mimi's well. Come in to say hello. read more

Mimi's food is decent never really had a problem with the food. I ordered a glass of Moscato, which is really a small for on the receipt. It says seven daughters. It was $13.69. That is so ridiculous. You could buy a whole bottle of that brand that's very overpriced for a small glass of Moscato. I won't ever order wine here again. read more

Service needs improvement. The waitress forgot to bring us out some bread, which is a simple mistake and not a big deal, but she had the thought of lying to us by saying that it didn't come out because more was being cooked in the oven, even though she just brought baskets out to the tables that arrived after us. Food tasted good, but the lies left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

Had Breakfast here this morning. Absolutely wonderful. Max was very attentive to serving us. Will definitely be back here again.

Jose was the best, he fully accommodated our needs and was so very friendly. Thank you so much for your excellent service.
