Mimi’s Café is the perfect mix of cozy and classy. The menu has a little something for everyone—from hearty breakfasts to fresh salads and comforting entrees. The food is always flavorful and served in generous portions, and their baked goods are a must-try (don’t sleep on the muffins!). The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it great for family meals, brunch with friends, or even a casual date. The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes every visit feel special. Definitely a go-to spot when you want good food in a relaxed setting!

It's been quite some time since we've eaten here. The food was fine but not as good as remembered. Service was a tad slow even though the restaurant appeared to not be busy.

We had a large group and asked for a table away from the crowd; it was very noisy and our group of 12 did not get to visit as we planned. The waitress tried to make it right. We won't meet at Mimi's in future.

The service was excellent. 3 people asked us several times if we needed anything. They were very attentive and very nice. We did not enjoy sitting next to the Asian family speaking another language the whole time!! It was very hard to hear our own conversation and to relax with their constant what sounds like babbling. They spoke english because they spoke it to the waiter and waitress. People from other countries should speak english if they are able while in public and their own language at home in private. It's disrespectful to Americans who are from here and want to enjoy there time eating and relaxing. I think they do it on purpose. They kept staring at us and we didn't know what they were saying while laughing. It's very uncomfortable not knowing what they are saying. We should have asked to move which is wrong living in our own country.

Mimi’s Cafe is a great spot for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The menu has plenty of choices—from hearty breakfasts to classic comfort food for lunch and dinner. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. Don’t miss their muffins and fresh-baked bread—they’re a highlight!

Awesome. Peaceful because not crazy busy and noisy. Food and service always great, as it was our most recent visit. This is why my family has been going to Mimi's for decades!

I was so excited to enjoy Mimi’s in California because I enjoyed it when it was in Orlando. Man, I should have skipped it and I am truly sad it will be my last memory of going to Mimis. We had to send the food back - something I’ve never done in my life.. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce served was split and clumpy. The home fries were not edible because they were fried in old rancid oil. The place was dirty. We tried to order the once amazing blueberry muffins and my blueberry muffin had zero blueberries in the bottom. How in the heck is there not one blueberry in the bottom of the muffin? We paid and left as soon as possible. I am sad as this restaurant had long waits and the best food long long ago. I’ve got to say our server was very pleasant and attentive. We saw someone trying to speak with the manager but the manager (female) was not interested and looked so uninterested in everything. Another server was informing the manager of some information regarding a phone call and it was meant with disinterest. There is a real problem in leadership here. There is such a vibrant restaurant culture in Irvine - skip it. The only people eating here lost taste buds long ago. It may be the last meal if not careful.
They are so unprofessional And rude I order the same item for 2 DIFFERENT addresses And they sent the two separate order to one address (???!) When I called to tell her the mistake she just answer like yea ok I don’t care you got you food bye And that was so disgusting ILL NEVER ORDER FOR MY STAFF FOOD FROM THAT HORRIBLE PLACE bad communication and so bad costumer service.

It's been a great place to have breakfast on weekends, with good quality food and fantastic European-style design. Service didn't align with their business, looked to me like not well-trained staff, almost one mistake every time we go there, too frequent checking on or being away for a long time.

The staff greated us with bigs smiles & sat us down. I ordered the onion soup with the cheese, it was just as I had imagined it would be, spectacular. I also ordered a burger that was very tasty. Service was prompt & efficient. I recommend Mimi's highly.
