I don’t usually eat at chains as I prefer local restaurants, but we did so out of convenience. Mimi’s was a great surprise. They started us off with bread and whipped butter that was very good. I ordered the turkey dinner, wife got the pot roast and the kids all got soup and sandwiches. Turkey comes on stuffing with gravy, cranberry’s and two sides, I ordered the garlic spinach and the au gratin potatoes. The turkey was so moist and tasty, stuffing was really good and the spinach and potatoes were both delicious. I would go back just to eat this meal again. I used the bread to make a little turkey sandwich with stuffing, turkey and the cranberry sauce. I am skeptical about ordering other people’s turkey or pot roast as it tends to be dry, but Mimi’s doesn’t disappoint. It is a French pot roast and it is very flavorful. The kids liked the French onion soup and sandwiches. They came with fries which I tried and they were good. My daughter got the tomato bisque with her sandwich and I did try it and it was delicious. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and everyone else helped out with food and drinks so we were never waiting for anything. Restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Super convenient to walk to if you are staying at one of the hotels on Harbor or even having a good sit down meal if you at at Disneyland and want a break.

You can definitely feel the decline in patrons that eat at Mimi’s Cafe. This location used to have 30-45 min waits on a Saturday night. 10 min tops on this Saturday night. Maybe 10 other tables eating. Looking forward to them revitalizing their brand and regaining the allure they used to have. Great food at a decent price. Now, OK food at a high price. Not a good recipe for success. The meatloaf felt very premade and generic. Not home cooked. Thin and lacked real flavor of great meatloaf. If it wasn’t for the gravy, would have been pretty bland. The thick hearty slice of moist delicious meatloaf is gone I guess. The potatoes were not bad, again, lacking any real flavor, except the gravy. The tomato basil soup was a bit thick but had decent flavor. The cheese sandwich could have used a thicker slice of bread, as the cheese to bread ratio was a bit off. The fries were lackluster and not crispy or hot. They were down a cook or two so service was a bit slow. The waitress was kind and did her best to keep up with the flow. Normally would have tried a desert, but felt like it would have not been great and would have taken awhile to get. Over all, not great…. Truly miss the old Mimi’s and their great food with good portions and flavor! Maybe someday.

Mimi's Cafe is an excellent spot for breakfast, with a menu that offers something for everyone. My family and I recently ate there and we were impressed by my meal and customer service. The steak and eggs were a standout dish, with a perfectly cooked steak and fluffy eggs that were bursting with flavor. The crepes were another highlight, with a light and airy texture that paired perfectly with the fresh berries and whipped cream. The dish was elegantly presented and tasted as good as it looked. Finally, the waffles and berries were some of the best waffles I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The fresh berries added a nice tartness that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the waffles. Overall, I highly recommend Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. They are a chain, so I know that food may vary by location, but we visited this spot on a trip to Disneyland. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Whether you're in the mood for steak and eggs, crepes, or waffles and berries, you won't be disappointed.

Food was good, atmosphere was decent, if you’re not into dining with kids whom may be loud, take that into account because it is across the street from Disneyland. My ONLY issue is with the service. Our server initially went to great another table before us, although they had a server already. Not a big deal, it happens. What was a big deal was he was way more attentive to tables that weren’t his than he was to us. I watched him bring food out to a table that wasn’t his, yet someone else was on his heels with our food. Then, disappeared. My glass was empty majority of the time I ate and he never once came to check and see if the food was ok, just dropped off, need anything and gone. Finally he shows back up and asks if I want a refill, I tell him yes and he asks me if I want it in a to go . I tell him no and off he goes and comes back and says “I put it in a to go anyway”. I really felt at that point that we were being rushed out and on top of how he served us, felt as if we weren’t wanted there at all. Would’ve been 5 stars but service left a lot to be desired .

I have to say this place is amazing. I love the decor, and the way the restaurant looks at the staff is amazing. The bartender / server was a great, very nice gentleman. I was a bit disappointed when I ordered my shot for the morning. I expected them to have don July but they only have patron which it was okay but very limited options breakfast it self was delicious could make a few comments about the French tost it was very overwhelming sweet the egg portion was a little low but enjoyable although I do question the quality since the eggs were very dry and had a strange texture of sand paper but other then these small issues I definitely recommend trying this establishment

I only have been once there, but my experience so good I have to share about it. The food was simply delicious, and for such a good price, I wouldn't have ask for more. I ordered the petite size, but it was a good portion, besides its high quality. Now,for my dear coffee drinkers, they have an amazing coffee machine, I can even say that their cappuccino is as good as Starbucks. The gentleman who served us was so nice and so caring for us, that I really want to go back again, the service was the best. I have been to hundreds of restaurants, I think it made it to the top ten, specially after eating desert 👌.
