I came for brunch and left with a new personality: "person who will absolutely be back next weekend." First of all, the food? Illegal. I'm pretty sure my blueberry lemon French toast violated several laws of physics by being both fluffy and dense at the same time. The service was amazing too. Our server somehow knew exactly when we needed more coffee, emotional support, and another round of "we deserve this." 10/10 would recommend. Come hungry, leave happy, possibly slightly overconfident about your life choices. read more

Mimi's Star Café - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Since we had such a great experience last visit we went back this past weekend. This visit was not a pleasant one. We were told to sit at table 2, which is a huge booth, second from the window. I "took one for the team" and sat with my back to the window which also happened to have 2 young kiddos sharing our bench back. They were probably around 6 and 8 years old. Dad was seated with his back to the front window. It wasn't that crowded when we arrived, maybe 4 tables occupied, including ours. We were finally acknowledged and brought some menus. We already knew we wanted what we had the last time, so we immediately ordered while she was there. Hubby and I wanted the same thing, so I gave the order (eggs over easy, hash browns, bacon and pancakes) and he said "times 2"! Easy peasey. The table in the booth was so far away from both of us. I get it - the world's population has expanded in size/girth and a booth has to be big enough for patrons to get in. Hubby and I are not that big, but I had to do ab crunches to reach the plate. It seemed like forever waiting for our food. Probably because of the constant movement on my seat back or dear old dad coaching his son and daughter to take a bite, eat some more of this, try that,... etc. His constant commands to eat were ridiculous. Poor kids! Our food finally arrived, and the bacon and the hash browns were cooked but not crispy at all. I decided I would take the bacon home and crisp it up in my air fryer oven the next day for breakfast. The eggs were over easy as ordered. I like to mix crispy hash browns into them but that was not to be. I took the pancakes home along with the remaining bacon and they were much better reheated at home the next day. It took a long time to get our check and a to-go box. They were definitely a lot more busy by this time, but it still took way longer than it should have, since no one checked back in on us. I didn't take any pics on this return visit. Sadly, I won't be in any hurry to return because the food was just so/so this time. read more

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: local hole in the wall serving amazing brunch food from American food or authentic Hispanic food. THE VIBE: simple and easy! Spacious too. PRICE: i don't remember but affordable. WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! I have been for awhile. **** Overall Rating: 9.5/10 - side note I miss @karissacarrrillo - This cafe was surprisingly so good but not that surprising because it has really good reviews on Google. - The jalapeño sauce Angel's chilaquiles came with was the perfect amount spice and had so so much flavor I had to ask for my own side. - I really have been wanting to come back here after trying it back in April because it just had so much flavor (both of our dishes) and I just love supporting a small business! **** read more

I mentioned it before, I am not a big breakfast eater, so if I go out for breakfast it has to be good. And Mimi's Cafe is really good . Every time! I have had many of their breakfast items, but the Ribeye Steak tacos are my favorite. The waiter will ask you if you're okay with all the things that come on it... eater beware - the jalapeños are really hot! So, if you don't like heat, have the waiter remove them. I like heat, and my mouth was still on fire long after I left the restaurant. read more

I love finding new places, big or small. I'm pretty sure Mimi's has been around awhile, but it's new to me. I saw it online and came in to give it a try. Very friendly staff and great meal options. Go in and enjoy the experience. read more

The food is ALWAYS delicious whether for breakfast or lunch and the servers ALWAYS treat customers like family. The vibe is upbeat and the atmosphere is a smallish intimate space. My wife and I enjoy it on weekends! read more

I began my order with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. The orange juice came in a frosted mug and was delicious. Nothing beats fresh squeezed orange juice. The coffee was very good. And just as a bonus they actually have Stevia. The waiter's name is Malik. When I ask him for recommendations, he gave me honest and fair recommendations. I really appreciated that. I've been to several places where I ask for a recommendation and I am told everything is good. That's very unhelpful. I ended up ordering the Tex-Mex skillet. Well, I just finished the TexMex skillet. It was friggin delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were OK, and the toast was delicious. However, just as a personal preference, I prefer my toast to be completely slathered with butter. I had to add three packs of butter to completely fill the toast with butter. However, this will not stop me giving a five star review. The ambience is comfortable, mostly grays and whites. There are eight tables that see four people each and 10 booths that seat four people each. I can imagine it gets quite tight on the weekends. However, on a Thursday morning it was easy to get a table and there was no weight for the food to come out. Overall, this was a great experience and I'm glad I stopped here for breakfast. read more

Although the ambiance is simple, the service is superb! My server was the most personable I've encountered in a while. She was attentive, friendly and accommodating. The food was just a amazing.

A great breakfast option in the area. I've been driving by this cafe whenever I go to my Filipino spot. Decided to come in today while in the area. Greeted right away as soon as you walk in. I decided to try their chilaquiles and it was as I expected it. Tasty, a hint of spice and very hearty. They also served freshly squeezed orange juice a multiple flavors of agua frescas. The staff are friendly and very attentive for everything that you needed to make your dining experience a great one as a first timer. Definitely coming back to try other items menu option as the this dining experience is a great one. read more

I have been to Mimi's several times. The food is ALWAYS great. And the personnel are always GREAT!!! It's as if everyone there is Family. Since all their food is so good, the only problem is what to order!? read more

What an outstanding find! it's absolutely great addition to our breakfast rotation. We arrived with the initial intention of ordering breakfast. However, the steak tacos seemed exceptionally delicious and irresistible and we are all extremely glad I decided to get them! The service is outstanding here, and all staff members go the extra mile to accommodate different spice levels for Tex-Mex and other dishes needing heat. Their juices are a great touch. Along with multiple aguas frescas, such as hibiscus, tamarind, and lemon, they serve pure, freshly squeezed orange juice. We politely asked for a small taste of their tamarind juice; furthermore, they were happy to oblige. It was a great refresher after a tasty, big meal because of its balance of sweet and tart. Definitely coming back to try other items from the menu when in the area for a quick meal. read more

This is the best breakfast place I have found in the Addison/Plano area. The food was excellent! Hot cooked to perfection, and tasty. The service was the best I've had in a LONG time. All were super friendly, smiles, and entertaining. One young lady sang her way through the day. What a delight! So happy and carefree. Put smiles on all the customers faces. Keep up the singing! My whole family finished their plates and we left happy and satisfied. Definitely will be returning whenever I am in town. read more

I failed to get any photos but had a great experience at Mimi's Star Cafe on Sunday! Portions are big so you can definitely split most things on the menu (imo) and I loved their coffee!! We got the gluten free pancakes which were delicious, and I also loved their sausage patty. The bacon could have been a little more crisp for me but overall I don't have any complaints. Our server was awesome and told us upon ordering that the GF side pancakes would be an up charge! I LOVE that transparency! Cute place and was really slow when we went for whatever reason, so not loud at all! We will definitely be back! read more

My server was dressed in more colorful Mexican garb than I've seen at any restaurant in Texas or Mexico! She helped me with my Breakfast Tacos order, happily switching the flour tortillas for corn, and exchanged the hash browns for pineapple. She sang while walking away and rarely stopped during my visit. Not loud enough for customers, but expressing her own happiness. I read the restaurant history, and my server was Alma, described as "a soul full of energy who takes care of the customers". This was more than food and service... read more

We have passed by this place so many times...decided to go afte a doctor's appointment and we were glad that we finally decided to try this place. Good food, great service and as an added bonus, Alma (manager and our server) sang throughout our brunch while wearing donkey ears. Not sure what the donkeys ears were all about but it worked for us!

Mimi's Star Café - Cappaccino - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Staff was extremely joyful and friendly, creating a familial atmosphere. The decor definitely gave cafe vibes with Shakira playing in the background so if a small town cafe is what you're looking for, this is the place! If you're expecting more of an upscale or chic dining experience, this isn't for you. I think the Skillets and the Blueberry Lemon French Toast were the most worth it. The TexMex Skillet was tasty, exactly what you'd expect from a chorizo skillet. The Ultimate Skillet was ok, the flavor was a little bit lacking but the hashbrowns were crispy! The skillet dishes would have more presentation points if they came in actual skillets rather than just plates. The omelet egg portion was a bit more well done than I prefer. The side pancakes were ok, not much buttermilk taste and a somewhat fluffy texture. The Blueberry Lemon French toast was the most special dish and the cream cheese sauce in between the two slices of bread added a nice tang. The lemon curd sauce had some orange marmalade mixed in which gave it more of a citrus vibe than just lemon. The brioche gave a good bite and flavor but the center of the bread was a bit dry because the slices were so thick and the egg didn't soak through all the way. Overall pretty good meal with good portions and great service but there are other options that have better vibes and tastier brunch for the same price. read more

Great Place! Warm greeting when you enter. Friendly waitstaff make this an enjoyable experience! The ambiance is is pleasant and pretty typical Texas cafe/diner. It was also impeccably clean which was nice. I ordered the Mimi's Omelette Breakfast which came with a large omelette that had ham, cheddar, onions and green peppers. It was prepared perfectly! It came with my choice of hash browns or grits, I chose hash browns and they were really good and not greasy at all. I also had a choice of Toast or Pancakes. The pancakes were delicious! I am a fan! read more

The friendliness of the employees was phenomenal. OMG Alma had the best spirit and always singing. Yaritza aka Jelly Is the sweetest and gets you seated right away. Anna was our waitress and she was amazing. So vibrant and lively! The food was good and served pretty quick. The OJ was the freshest I have ever had. They make it fresh for you when ordered. My brother and I love grits but in restaurants they are never good so we don't ever get but he got them today and they were wonderful. Not runny nor were they chunky! The menu is vast lots of must try's! I was in town visiting and my brother suggested this place based on the story of the owners and supporting small business is always good especially when you get amazing service. Lots of regulars were coming in which is always good to see. I wish I lived closer I would go for lunch as well. But I will definitely come back upon next visit to Dallas. It's located in a small strip plaza. So it can get crowded quick when leaving business was ramping up. read more

We drive 20+ minutes nearly every weekend to come here for breakfast. The food is excellent and there are choices for everyone. From breakfast tacos to avocado toast. The pancakes are light and fluffy and the coffee is our favorite. What really makes this place special is the owners. It is a family owned restaurant and Alma always brings the positive energy! Her husband Malik helps keep everything running smoothly with her sisters and cousins consistently providing excellent service. Unlike other places, everyone on the staff helps every table. Need coffee, anyone will bring it and they do it with a positive attitude. Other restaurants could learn from this kind of teamwork. I highly recommend it for your next breakfast or lunch. read more

This one is hard. The food was really good. Fresh squeezed OJ. I had an Ultimate skillet with bacon and over medium eggs. All cooked and seasoned well. My kid had Micky pancakes with bacon and finished her entire meal which doesn't happen often The service was really good. The servers acted as a team and the female there was super pleasant and in a literal singing good mood. There was just one thing that makes me not able to go back. There was a humidity/musty issue. It smelled like a dirty dish rag. We can't get past that to eat there again. read more
