Mimi's Cafe Monrovia Reviews
The food was delicious the only issue I have perhaps I can be wrong but our server took a very long time to fill up our coffee and water. She never came for our bill we gave to another person. Over all Mimis Cafe the food was delicious. The server's need to more attendant to their customers. (Luz)
We arrived about 20 minutes before closing at their 9pm close time. The host said it would be a limited menu available since their kitchen was starting to close up. I appreciated the news upfront and we decided to stay. Seated right away and server quickly came out. He explained if we ordered right then he could have the kitchen make whatever we wanted. We only needed a light bite so got the corn chowder by the cup, side of French bread and for dessert a delicious bread pudding. Everything was tasty and server was extremely friendly and quick to serve.
Everything from food and service was great. Definitely will return. Our server Luis was very attentive, made sure our drinks were always filled, came periodically to check if we needed anything else. He did such a great Job.
The servers here were all so wonderful. We had 6 of us then 10 of us and they were great on helping make sure we could all sit together. No issues. Then they had no issues on seperate checks. Was always attentive to our needs. very impressed. Plus the food was wonderful. The salad are very large. The pot pie is very delicious. Highly recommend this place.
Great food at a reasonable price, with friendly service in a warm atmosphere. When the server asks if you want toast or muffin with your meal, say muffin! They are huge, warm, and delicious! The potato cake benedict is a great riff on a classic, I would definitely get it again. The bloody Mary is tasty and picturesque. My brother got the bacon avocado omelette which did not disappoint.
Had a pleasant experience here with a group of 10 people. We made a reservation about a week and a half in advance. Everything went smoothly! Plenty of parking, huge selection of food to choose from in the menu, and friendly servers. Pricing is average. Ordered a side or the french onion soup and it was delicious! But the real star was the french toast!! It tasted like a mix of french toast and a cinnamon roll, it was DELICIOUS!!! It is very sweet but I like that level of sweetness so I was ok with it. I would definitely come back for it! To top it off, our waitress went above and beyond and gave us all separate checks without us even asking. I was amazed and very grateful! A wonderful place to meet with big groups!! Most restaurants won’t separate the checks like that.
My wife and I were in town and stopped in for "brunch". The server was great and we enjoyed a nice meal together. The birria omelet was delicious!
There are plenty of comfy booths to sit in. We came for lunch and the food was stellar. Great quality and large portions. I had the turkey pesto sandwich and vanilla cappuccino with oat milk. My friend had the bacon blue cheese walnut salad and peach iced tea. The server, Kevin, was on top of everything. Highly recommend.
I always enjoy coming to Mimi's Cafe. All the staff have been super friendly over the years. The food is always delicious. I love the look of the building. I wish more people would go though. I don't know about breakfast time, but lunch and dinner aren't terribly busy most of the time I've gone or walked by the place. So, you should never have much of an issue getting a seat. There is a bar with seating as well along with a meeting room area. I know during the week, there's usually some sort of social gathering in that room. I've seen some painting classes before, some wine tasting classes, and other small events. The menu is a decent size. My go to item is a burger called the French Quarter Burger. Basically a bacon hamburger, but on a cheesy sourdough bun with avocado. Delicious. I often grab a cup of French Onion soup because it isn't too salty like I've had at several other restaurants in the past. There is usually an insert menu with seasonal/limited time offerings. Currently, as of January 1st 2026, it's items with birria beef and sauce like a birria omelet. During autumn, there are a lot of pumpkin/pumpkin spice items. My one issue is you're supposed to get a little bread basket when you go with a couple slices of a baguette and a carrot muffin thing, but there never offer it. I was offered the bread once in the last two years. There's a small section on the menu that mentions a charge for wanting double the carrot things. So, I think there's a cost saving thing happening, or they just don't want to put the baskets together for people.
We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Zaida at Mimi’s Café, and she made our visit outstanding! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us warmly with a big smile and made us feel right at home. Her attentiveness was spot on—always checking in at the right times without ever hovering.
I Actually Came In With My Cousins For Brunch. Yeah Definitely Wasn't Impressed With The Food.I Ordered The Baked Chicken Was Dry As The Gobie Dessert & The Mashed Potatoes Didn't Come With Gravy. Yeah The Service Was Average And Didn't Deserve The Mandatory Tip.
Not a great experience. We actually traveled 30+ miles to get here for lunch. Service was fine and it’s a cute little place to eat but the food arrived cold on both plates. One plate got taken back and was flash heated - the turkey - when it came back out it was okay, but certainly nothing special. The second plate got taken back and remade - a burger. But unfortunately, by the time all of this happened, we were out of time and had to leave. In fairness, the waitress did take the burger off the check and we took it to go, but of course, the whole experience wasn’t exactly what we’d hoped for. The food was obviously cooked properly, it was just somehow forgotten about and by the time we got it, it was cold. It happens, but let’s be honest you go there for one thing, good food that is served in a relatively quick timeframe, and it should obviously be hot. In that respect they didn’t meet expectations today.
So disappointed I was just there today and to start off the food was gross and the waiter was so rude and attitude. If you ever go to this location do not let LUZ be your waiter that was my waiter today and it was just a nightmare We asked for our steak well done and she bought out the steak burn I would not recommend this location
This place is very good if you eat in person. I’ve been here and ordered a jambalaya and it tastes amazing, staff was nice, but the next day when I ordered to go, the jambalaya portion size was cut in half in the box. Extremely disappointed. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend not ordering to go as ur food portion size will be cut in half and will only be enough for a 6 year old. I really hope their manager steps up and addresses this issue.
