Pros: I was able to put my party on the waitlist through Yelp. They give you a hefty portion of food. The food is your average diner breakfast food, but I do have to say that the breakfast burrito tasted fresher than other burritos (I think it has to do with the cilantro). My friends and I enjoyed taking a picture with the huge mimosa glass, but it's not convenient since it's not practical to drink and has too much ice! Cons: We were there for about two hours and she came once to ask us if we needed anything. When we asked to get the check and waited for it for a little over ten minutes. I asked if we could get foil instead of a box and she said no. I'm sure the foil was cheaper than giving me a box. She came ten minutes later to check in and came without a box and without the bill. Note: can only split the bill in two cards. Also a bummer! I would give it four stars for food but due to the service. I'm giving it a three. read more

Besides from the giant mimosas, I don't think this place is that great. The food is okay to me. I do think the potatoes served is pretty good and probably better than most places. It's served with bell peppers and onions. I like that there's still a crunch to the bell peppers. I got this with my biscuit and fried chicken Benedict. Was disappointed when I asked for my eggs poached but it came out to be a boiled texture. If you order one pancake on the side, is about $3.75. Which is cheaper than a side of fruits. Go figure! This place is quite small and what makes it even more frustrating is the lack of parking!! If it gets busy, you have to cross the street and park in the neighborhoods. I might come back here to try the mimosas and other drinks since they have a pretty long list. But I wasn't really impressed with it when I first saw it. Just a giant cup with long straws! I guess I gotta go with a large crowd to share the giant mimosas. Or not share at all! read more

I would simply give this place a one if not for flavor of the items on my plate that I did like. I had the country Benedict that advertises "fried chicken" both on their online and in person menu. When it arrived I was shocked to see that there were only two chicken tenders the size of my index finger on the bread. The flavor of everything that came on it was good and the gravy was amazing but the misinformation was not, after notifying my server he said oh well that's how we serve it which is fine that's how you serve it but it's not fried chicken it's a chicken tender. I wasn't expecting to pay 18 dollars and some change on chicken tenders and eggs. The hash browns were also hard and was a bit stale. The mimosas were good of course. The waffles were dry, and the classic eggs Benedict was great! Just change your menu. read more

This place is pretty far out (South San Jose) compared to all the local breakfast/brunch joints around my area. This place is highly popular for their large party mimosa goblets which each gigantic cup takes in 1-whole champagne bottle. They have different flavors to choose from and it's free of charge if you'd like to mix two flavors. They throw in lots of ice which slightly dilutes the champagne but can still buzz you up pretty damn good. It's $25 for a party size and I think $10-$12 for a regular size? I should add that the goblet mimosa is $5 for the birthday celebrant IF each person orders an entree. Their breakfast menu is just alright. Nothing too crazy here but they have everything you'd expect from a breakfast place. The crowd here is pretty young with a bunch of people trying to either pre-game or just go and eat with their friends. They play hip-hop through the speakers in which I think is Pandora lol (I can tell from the commercial breaks LOL) This place isn't too big so make sure to arrive early and try to beat the line. Sundays are obviously the most popular time to come so make sure to arrive during opening hour. The food was just ok and our service was crappy. The lady refused to change my order, she forgot our flavors for our mimosas, AND she came back with news of items/flavors running out.. UHMMM what a bad first-time experience. It's annoying. I wouldn't come back BUT their mimosas are definitely worth trying! read more

I'm guna have to agree with some of the other reviews I've read -- this place is slightly overrated. I get the appeal, everyone wants a giant mimosa but other than that they don't have much going on outside of a standard breakfast. I've tried it twice now, once on a week day and another on the weekend. Both times the place had a line and a ton of people waiting outside (about a 45-60 min wait). The parking lot is extremely small as a lot of the spots are designated for nearby businesses so you may have to wait for someone to leave or park in the neighborhood (which I'm sure the community hates). Once finally seated, the staff wasn't very friendly or welcoming either times. Their mimosas options are great and their food hot and fresh but the whole place is extremely loud, I found it hard to shout across the table. I gave em' a fair shot but I don't think they'd be my first or even second choice for a nice breakfast in the future. read more

Mimosas Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

Early lunch with my husband yesterday. There was no wait. The hostess said we could sit anywhere. We ordered: - Countryside benedict w/ gravy instead of hollandaise sauce - California benedict - Pina colada mimosa - Guava mimosa Soo, the size of the mimosa surprised me. I'm used to the champagne flutes that you get at boogie brunch places. They were very generous with the champagne the benedicts were yummy. The poached eggs were perfect! Now to the reason why I docked a star. The knife that was used to chop onions was used to slice the avocados that were in my benedict. I absolutely loathe red onions and I was disappointed that I couldn't eat the rest of the avocado. read more

Got the strawberry guava mimosa and it was the best choice! The mimosa didn't even hit until we were going to leave lol cute brunch spot to hang out with your friends/coworkers. There was a lot of food to choose from on the menu and the staff was very accommodating to add/change something on our order read more

This is my go to place with friends for the mimosas. Although, the location is pretty small and they do get very busy. On weekends the wait times for tables can be approximately anywhere from 1-2 hours. My friends and I usually order the super mimosa ($24.99) and share which is good enough for us. The super mimosa has a whole bottle of champagne in it. The individual smaller mimosas are very good as well. They have many options for different flavors. Although the mimosas are great, I am not a fan of the food. I have tried many items such as the veggie skillet, a simple egg and bacon plate, and a BLT. These items are just average. There may be better food items that I have not tried. I do have to take off a star for the ok food and the parking. Parking is a mess. There are probably maximum 10 spots dedicated for restaurant parking. The other parking spaces are reserved for other businesses. There is residential parking across the street so I would suggest parking there instead of trying to find a spot in the small parking lot. Service has been pretty good the times I have been here. This will always be the spot to go for myself and my friends when we are in the mood for a mimosa! read more

I would give a Zero if I could .. but today I went for breakfast... I ordered the California Benedict which was good but I also ordered the Nutella waffle ... which was hard and crusty as hell... so I sent it back after only A HALF BITE.. the server STILL charged us and said he couldn't take it off the bill cause he didn't have a "code" OK well what if u fucked up and charged something we didn't eat? Would u still charge us??? How would u fix that? TERRIBLE... there's ALWAYS a way to give a refund ... and on top of that he said "nobody ever complains about the waffle" OK well I AM idgaf what anyone Else thinks of it... I DIDNT LIKE IT. I hope I get a message back cause I paid 15 dollars for something I had a half bite of and sent back immediately read more

Service was amazing! She was the sweetest local girl that gave us lots of insight into the area. Food was very yummy although one person in our group was not happy with the hamburger patty. Sweet potato fries were a hit! Glad to see they offered them. read more

Sunday afternoon.. Wait was long but it was worth it. We were able to put our name on a list and then leave to do other things.....they texted us when we should return. Food was brought out fast and portions were large. The food was actually good. We had the French toast, meatlovers scramble and chiliquilles with a pancake. Everyone loved their meal and NO ONE was able to finish the whole plate. Mimosas were decent .....MULTIPLE flavors and you can choose your size... regular 9.95 & super 33.95...they also will add a 2 oz shot of the drink of your choice. ( Vodka, tequila, etc) Overall, the experience was good. I will return in the future. If your in San Jose and it's breakfast/ brunch you should DEFINITELY try Mimosas!!! read more

Awesome place to go for breakfast. Everything we ordered tasted great, the portions were huge (come hungry) and the mimosas are Massive. I highly recommend getting the lychee mimosa and chicken fried steak. Parking is absolutely awful. Carpool or Uber if possible. They will not sit your party until everyone is present. You might have to wait a while too. The location is small and the hostess wasn't the best with picking tables. (There were open two top tables yet she was sitting parties of two at four tops. It made larger parties have to wait longer.) read more

I heard rave reviews about Mimosas Cafe so while we were visiting the BAY area we decided to give them a try. They were packed but luckily we were able to get a table immediately. We opted for the super mimosa to share, not enough champagne tasted more like juice. I ordered the Chile Verde plate which comes with country potatoes, beans, and an egg made your way with flour tortillas. The Mr. ordered the chicken and waffles, the waffles had bits of bacon in them, he devoured it, said it was quite tasty, I had a bite so I can attest to that! We will definitely be back when ever we are in the area again. read more

Not worth the hype. They are busy. There is no parking. Service is lacking. Food ranged from mediocre to poor. "Management" was inept. Our large group ended up with a bill of $600. A giant mimosa spilled all over our table, because the stupid glass it was in just shattered. It took them FOREVER to clean the spill. Table, chairs, floor soaked. Birthday girl standing, waiting to have the table cleaned. The "management" was more concerned with letting us know they would not replace the drink and that we would be charged for the glassware. Eventually they relented, replaced the drink, and did not charge for the glass. There were mistakes on people's dishes. Drinks took FOREVER. One thing I will say, is that our server did a GREAT job. She was "new" by her own admission. She did her best, and she was charming. Our table would've been difficult to handle for a veteran server. So she gets 4.5-5 stars. The rest of this restaurant is a failure. read more

We planned a small, surprise gathering for my Mom's 80th Bday, with only 2 weeks lead way. We really wanted to give the business within our community. Gilberto & the Staff were all amazing. Not only did they accommodate dinner for 40 people (yes, that's small for our family), they had music and were super attentive, creating a fun atmosphere. We brought props for photos booth. The food was delicious: chicken enchiladas, rice & beans including fountain drinks plus coffee. I must say, the green sauce enchiladas were clearly the party fave over the red enchiladas but both were great. Their full bar was an added bonus for party guests :-) During these covid sensitive times, it was nice to have a spacious yet cozy venue. Im sure all small businesses appreciate our patronage, so we always support local when possible ;-) read more

Came for Sunday brunch and it was almost a two hour wait for a party of five. For a shorter wait, you could put your name on the waiting list in advance or come later when it starts to clear out. Parking in the plaza is difficult as it is very limited. You can park at the residential area across the street from the plaza. The spicy omelette was good. I noticed that all orders have very large portions. The super mimosa is a great deal for large groups who are willing to share a drink. Tried the pineapple and passion fruit. The taste of champagne was stronger in the passion fruit, but overall, both were very delicious! read more

Expectations vs Reality in the form of a restaurant. Upon reading the more recent reviews, it looks like this place recently? went through some changes and not for the better. My experience was awful! They are understaffed and "polite" but not very good at their jobs. EXPECTATION To be greeted by the host upon arrival and be seated for our 1pm reservation. REALITY No host at front. So after waiting for 10 mins, went to the bar to ask who to check in with. The bartender said he will send a host. The host comes 5 mins later and talks with the white couple in front of me to seat them for their 1pm reservation. Then does not come back to talk to me, the person who requested assistance. EXPECTATION The host will return to check us in. REALITY The host is running around the restaurant, but avoids the front. Then, other staff members make eye contact with me when I wave them down, but choose to ignore me and walk the other way. I nonstop wave my arms around, looking like a fool, and try to Jedi mind trick him until he acknowledges my presence and speaks with me. After 20 minutes of waiting, my Jedi mind trick finally works. EXPECTATION Called a week in advance to get reservations for a party of 7 and a baby. Confirmed it was the Mimosas Cafe on Pearl (because we know there are multiple locations) and that the reservation was confirmed for Labor Day at 1pm. REALITY There is no reservation found. In fact, I am told they do not accept reservations because it is a holiday. Instead, we just have to put our names down and wait the estimated 30-45 minutes. EXPECTATION The staff picks up the phone when my friend who made the reservation calls the restaurant to speak to someone about this mistake. Since she is still finding parking, she calls in to clarify the issue since she is not here with me in person. REALITY I point to the phone and say, "hey I see my friend's name on caller ID calling in. You should pick up and talk to her because the reservation was made by her." The host says "no, it doesn't matter" and continues to let the phone ring. EXPECTATION Order a Basic Breakfast and lemonade, and receive the food ordered in a timely manner. REALITY Get a 2 egg meal and forgot my lemonade, yet everyone at the table got their drinks. Then had to ask for the lemonade from the waiter...only to have it arrive with strawberries. It was on the menu as "lemonade" with no indication of strawberries so I ask for a regular one because I am allergic. The waiter forgets again about my lemonade so after another reminder (approximately 1/2 way done with our meals) I get my lemonade. By now, I'm afraid it's not all lemonade in my glass. EXPECTATION At this point, service has proven to be horrible so they're not going to refill our waters. REALITY Service has been horrible and we received no refill on waters. All in all the restaurant and meal was a frustrating experience. It was hot and stuffy inside. Parking is very difficult so we had to either park in a sketchy area in the back or across the street in residential neighborhoods. The booths need to be reupholstered because they are cracked and peeling. The food is mediocre cafe food at best and the gimmicky giant mimosas are good for social media pics. The staff was hustling, so it seems like they're trying they're best, but not good at owning up to their many failures. I get better service at pho restaurants. Don't waste your time here. read more

First note: I liked when we first walked in and we got a table right away, that's a plus. I've been hearing about this place, mostly great things like the food and drinks and the place. But honestly it wasn't all hyped up to be. There were only 3 servers, no hostess. When we got seated, we waited 25 minutes before we got our ordered taken. There was another person who got seated after us and got greeted right away. The food was ok, very noisy, no utensils on the table, very crowded. The table behind us; a customer got up and served her table water and menus because they didn't have any. Overall don't think I'll be coming back. P.s bills cafe is way better read more

Bottoms up! Get your Instagram ready, because Mimosas takes brunching to the next level! And what's brunch without a little Mimosa? Who am I kidding, a HUGE Mimosa. I first stumbled across Mimosas Cafe through Yelp and instantly bookmarked it for the next time I was in the area for brunch. I came here with my college friend to catch up for a girls day. When we arrived with our party of two we were seated right away. I noticed it was mostly larger parties, so if you have a group be prepared to wait. I also believe they don't take reservations. Another thing to note is that the parking lot is very small so we ended up down the street in a residential neighborhood. To drink, the server recommended the strawberry and watermelon mixed and it didn't disappoint. It was not overly sweet, refreshing, and flavorful. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla and it was giant, probably to help you keep up with finishing your drink. For the two of us, we put a pretty good dent into our beverage. It is definitely a good size to spilt amongst 3-4 people. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area! read more

DO YA WANNA GET DRUNK AND DO YA LIKE BREAKFAST? If you sequentially answered yes to these questions, you're gonna enjoy coming here. First off, and most importantly, there is a variety of flavors you can choose from to flavor your mimosa. Quite a list. Each individual mimosa is $8 and trust me, you'll feel tipsy after just one. To get one of those huge ass ones you'll see everywhere during your meal, it'll cost you $25. Now to the food. I have only tried the benedicts here, but HOLY COW have they been amazing. The country side benedict, a chicken and gravy benedict, was a little too filling, and I was able to share it with a friend. The gravy is heavenly though. Not too salty or creamy--just right. The salmon benedict was average, which isn't bad, and the Castro benedict was actually the best vegetarian benedict I've ever had. Something great about these entrees is that they're large enough to comfortably fill two people. Savin' money and gettin' drunk. My favorite. I've been back twice, and my friends and I are planning another visit this week. read more

After talking about having brunch here for weeks, I finally made the trip to try the place and don't regret it one bit. The location is not bad, but the parking can be very inconvenient since it's in a very small shopping area. Most people park in the neighborhood across the street because there just isn't a lot of room to park. There was a few group of people waiting outside for a table, we waited about 15 minutes before we got sat down. There are plenty of tables, but if the place is busy, don't expect a booth for two. I'd highly recommend coming here with a double date or with a group of four. Let me start with the mimosa... I do not regret drinking the super mimosa at all. Although I felt like I gained my own gravitational field after drinking it all, I was very pleased with it. I had requested for a orange strawberry mimosa and when I saw it, my eyes lit. It's pretty much a whole champagne bottle mixed with the other good stuff. Bring friends because you'll need them to finish it, or you can try and knock it out yourself. It's not bad at for 26 bucks. The food, I'm a huge fan of gravy and they have a lot of options with gravy. I had the southern scramble which comes with sausage, biscuit, side of toast and choices of potatoes. It was great, but I would definitely ask for more gravy. Also ordered was a omelette, but I forgot the name of it. It had a kick to it and was delicious as well. I'd highly recommend coming here just for the comfort food if you're in town. TLDR Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Parking 2/5 Pricing 4/5 read more

Great place. Love the drinks. Come here for a fun breakfast with friends or family. Will definitely be coming back.

Over hyped. Maybe I expected too much, from some reviews and long...long..goddzaammnn long ass wait OR maybe it was just an off day - BUT I was sooo bummed by the food. Given I was HANGRY from a 2 hr wait (most food, even though average, should have tasted amazing - but NOPE!) There was no foolery here, food was straight up just meh! Yes the mimosas are great, overall really freakn delicious, with a variety of unique flavors (like Prickly Pear which was my FAVE). BUT you know what - I can't be all about that MIMOSA life, without some yummy food accompanying my belly. Wsup with the food: (1) Fajita Steak Benedict - my friend's dish, that completely look good but tasted pretty damn weird. Fajita steak needed basic seasoning and was hard to chew (overcooked). The sauce and taste overall just didn't make sense as a benedict, fajitas are just so damn good sizzling on its own - why even mess with that?!? (2) Countryside Benedict - this was my dish, and it was FREAKN HUGE! Just stackedddd and seductive in every way. But after cutting this baby open and taking a bite, it LACKED flavor!? IDK how that is even possible...the chicken pieces were like sad chicken tenders, not even a ground patty... AND gravy was just alright, while the scrambled eggs were dry. Everything literally had to be combined, because nothing tasted good on its own...pretty much. Note: ONE whole star just for the prickly pear mimosa alone. For the long wait, and the quality of food...EVEN though the price was cheap and portions were huge - deffffff. would not come here again. Just not worth. read more

A hard pass. Honestly save your time and money and go somewhere else, went here a couple weeks ago and have to say that my experience was far from subpar. If you're coming here for the mimosas ok i get it looks cool and do it for the gram, other then that steer clear. My experience went like this: got seated waited forever for my server to come out and take my order *or even drink order. After that 3 servers came out and asked if i had ordered this plate after I said not they went to the next table and asked and kept it going *this is by no fault the employees fault but management for not training and not providing the tools to succeed also the restaurant wasn't even full. Food was subpar and nothing too memorable, remember that my seat didnt have a cushion either and everyone's else did *so sat on hard wood **not accounted for in rating just a statement. So yeah overall if you want to try it go ahead other than that there are other mimosas places *some bottomless 2/5 -Josh read more

-Location: Accessible for all, limited parking space, shared with other businesses. -Restaurant: Decent eating area but dirty walls/ glass doors, old torn booths, dirty floors, baseboards dirty. Questionable cleaning techniques. The stench can be penetrating. -Staff/service: Overall friendly, generally forgetful. Anna waitress, second time taking my order, screechy voice, please repeat order if you want to get it right. Inattentive and absentminded, expect less than average service unless enhanced by Mimosas. -Food/Menu: Dirty menus, average presentation and taste, nothing out of the ordinary.

3.5 Stars the waffles were super tasty and haven't had anything like it around here. Very satisfying and they did not skimp on the toppings! The churro waffle had ice cream! The cajeta waffle was so sweet and had a bunch of walnuts and bananas. We tried the prickly pear mimosa and the lychee mimosa and they both tasted very good. The lychee is very sweet. I was not aware the "small" was so big lol but it was a lot for the price. The "why" it didn't get the full 4 stars is the ambience of the place. It's like a brunch/club vibe. If you're into that it's cool. But it's not a place to sit and have a nice convo with someone. The music is very club like and loud for such a small place. Not exactly what I want to hear at 10 am. That's just me. read more

Worst restaurant experience ever... I ordered the "Carne asada plate" Noticed that the stake still had blood, so I let out waitress know . I was confused when she didn't took my plate, minutes later she brought just a new piece of carne asada(a lot smaller than the original one). Then she surprised me again when she asked if I wanted her to take my original piece of carne asada, so they can cook it more and bring it back. What restaurant does that? The minimum I was expecting when I said that my carne asada wasn't cooked all the way , was for them to remove my plate and just bring me a complete new one instead of them bringing one smaller asada piece. The WORST, for the waitress to offer to take my original piece of asada to cook it more which I had started eating and was all ready mixed with rice and beans .. Will not come back and can't recommend read more

Went on a Thursday morning so it was completely empty! My boyfriend and I decided to get the super mimosa and it was amazing! Super tasty and they pop the champagne in front of you which is a nice touch. Needless to say, it's definitely enough for 2 people. We also ordered some food which was delicious. The ambiance was great as well. They had good music playing the entire time we were there. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be going with a group of friends next time! read more

Come here once to take a photo of yourself drinking their gigantic mimosa, but other than this "tourist" factor, Mimosas doesn't have much going for it commotion-wise. Parking is scarce, and my friend and I were just confused if we could park in the area that says "TOW AWAY PARKING" by the wall that is alongside the nail salon in the same plaza. We didn't want to wait for people to empty out of the full parking area, so we went for it and parked there--for future yelpers who come here, that space is A-OK and safe to park by. Service is amiss, since there were only two servers for "brunch time" around 10AM on a Tuesday. There was no host to greet you, so we just assumed it was seat yourself. There were a few tables here and there, and a bar we noticed with the humungous and famous mimosa flutes that this place is known for. Our server was a super kind and tired-looking girl who popped in to check on us once in a while, which was perfect since we were busy conversating and catching up. My friend and I both got griddles, and I enjoyed my veggie griddle a lot. We shared the large lychee mimosa, which was sweet, but not overly so. By the end of the drink, it was basically water since all the ice cubes melt. And I think they do pour a whole champagne bottle in the mimosa, but I'm not too sure. This is a great spot for boozy brunch, and I can see how crazy busy it could get on weekends. So I'd highly recommend taking a day off and coming here to get your morning booze on during a weekday brunch. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to be worth your wait time or patience. The one-restroom-room is clean, and there isn't any wifi. However, the food is standard for brunch and huge in portion size, and they do many flavors of mimosa! I wouldn't say the quality of food is key here, it's more like the casual and boozy atmosphere is what is the kicker. Ambiance is pretty fun, seems like a great place to go with your girlfriends or a large group for a Sunday brunch kind of deal. Music is cool with a hint of grit, and it was blasting in the back right corner of the restaurant. So if you want to be able to hear your dining friends, sit closer to the bar or the entry way. read more

The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood and shares the lot with a smoke shop, liquor store, nail spa, and salon. Limited free parking. Mimosas are definitely the star of the show and keeps this establishment busy. We ordered the steak omelet, meat lover scramble, chocolate chip pancakes, coffee, and hot chocolate. Portions are large. Omelet was bland even after adding salt, pepper, and requesting the house salsa. Country potatoes are hands down AMAZING. Coffee did not disappoint. Reasonable prices and decent menu options. We were part of a larger party as a result 18% gratuity was included. The automatic gratuity is understandable due to party size. Having this policy in place I would have expected a consistent and pleasant customer service experience. Customer service was subpar at best. Had to request menus, coffee refills, remind waitress of requested condiments, request the check, and to go boxes. Come for the mimosas stay for the country potatoes. read more

Guy friend ordered CA eggs benedict. One egg was way undercooked. Kind of grossed both of us out. I asked for diablo without onions. It came with onions. Food was just okay. Prickly pear mimosa was liked by one of us. Huge rips in the seating. I'd probably give them another chance and order something with hash browns not country potatoes, also maybe the Bloody Mary instead of mimosa. Solid three due to portion size, friendliness and efficiency. Hoping next time is better. read more

I was disappointed by my visit recently. As pointed out in other reviews, parking is atrocious as this place gets packed on the weekends. It was loud, kind of ratch (lol), but I'm thinking maybe this is a place to just enjoy drinks before heading to another food spot. I ordered the crab, prawn, & avocado Benedict. The poached eggs, I kid you not, were both over cooked! Literal hard boiled eggs! At least they used real crab, but the prawns tasted slightly off. One positive is that they have really good biscuits! I stole one from my friends plate and it was both of ours favorite item of the visit...They also offer only ONE kind of jam on the table, Orange Marmalade. What happened to strawberry or even grape?! For drinks, I ordered a mango mimosa which didn't really taste like mango, but gave me a good buzz so I can't complain. All in all, thank you, but next! read more

I'm not quite sure I got the vibe of this place? It was a breakfast joint, playing trap-like music at like 10 am so so loudly, and also a bar? Don't get me wrong, the mimosas they're famous for are way worth it and a lot of fun! But I definitely wasn't expecting having to yell over the music at breakfast. I'd understand the music and bar combo for an evening/night out. But it felt weird in the morning! Regardless, drinks were good, food was okay!

So I drove past this place lol. Found it and screamed at the lack of parking. Ok cool, there's some residential parking across the Main Street. Finally made it in and didn't realized the policy of putting your name on the list upon entrance. Took a while for us to understand since no one came to help. Luckily we stuck with our instinct and did it anyway because it got crowded real fast. I'm driving so I opted out of the giant mimosa... this time lol. I got the $8 prickly pear mimosa and I was lit! I ordered the chicken apple sausage omelette and substituted the toast for a pancake for an extra $2. Worth every penny. Next time I want to try to shrimp & cram omelette. Our server was very attentive even tho my pancake was forgotten. Overall I will be back! FYI there's no drinking alcohol in the outside patio... a real bummer. The wait took a while as there isn't a ton of seats but there's a bar you can sit while you wait read more

Friends and I came in after seeing the giant mimosa photos. The parking lot is pretty tiny with a few spots assigned to each business so we found parking in the neighborhood across the street. Wait on the weekend for 4 was about an hour so get here early! The four of us shared a giant mimosa and each got our own straw. The mimosa glass is giant (obviously) so you have to stand up to drink from it. The food was just mediocre, nothing special. The novelty was the giant mimosa. Apparently, they offer a free giant mimosa on your birthday but it has the be the exact day. It was fun, music was playing, and people enjoying themselves like Vegas at a brunch spot. Nice to change it up, but not a regular brunch spot I find myself coming back to. read more
