Mimi's Cafe

Went in for breakfast and decent expectations since it was recommended by others. We left in awe and unsatisfied. Omelette not so well. Overly onionated. The potatoes were really good though. Muffin was decent. Pumpkin spice latte was decent.

Our first visit to Mimi Cafe in Mission Valley was a pleasant surprise as it exceeded our expectations. Parking lot is decent, however, it’s weird that they put the handicap parkings far away from the front entrance. Guessing that the restaurant gives parking priority to the “pickup” orders. We liked the cozy yet charming outdoor seating area by the front entrance. Inside ambiance was calm and relaxing, rustic inspired and the interior had a fake balconies and pictures of bikes and things. This place has an old time diner feel in a nice way. Reading the room, it appears that this place is popular amongst the seniors. We came on a Tuesday around 12:30pm and only a few patrons when we got there so we were seated immediately. Waitstaff was patient, gave us enough time to look over the men

You can’t go wrong with Mimi’s Cafe. The consistency in the product stays true every time. This location is always clean and the service is top notch. There are plenty of adjacent rooms, which really maximizes seating, even allowing for multiple large parties at the same time. Blueberry Muffin is a must when you are at Mimi’s; a top recommendation. Steak & Eggs are filling and the simple eggs fit nicely with any breakfast; don’t forget the roasted potatoes that are crispy and tender equally. Parking can be a bit difficult, at the lot is shared and smaller. However, that being the worst problem, you are in for a good meal and great location central to Mission Valley and the rest of San Diego.

Mimis used to be so good, but it's been years since I've been and most of them in AZ were closed down, so we thought we'd give this one a chance. I was very disappointed in the food. It was "free hotel breakfast" quality in my opinion. A lot of items just seemed reheated and thrown on the plate. The brioche French toast my daughter had looked decent and my husband's eggs Benedict seemed decent too. My turkey sausage just looked so bad and did not taste good. I was just very sadly disappointed. The service was great though, very friendly, very fast, no complaints there.

I love Mimi's and specifically this location. The staff is always super friendly and efficient, I've never had to wait to be seated and the food is always so delicious! There's so many yummy options it's always so hard to choose! They have the best Lemon Cake too, hands down! Highly recommend a visit! Plenty of parking on site and nicely located near the mall and other shops.
