Mimi's Cafe
4030 Barranca Pkwy, Irvine, CA
Crema's Take
“This Irvine spot punches above its weight with generous, thoughtfully prepared comfort food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere where the chef remembers to add that extra egg. While consistency issues with cleaning and food execution occasionally dampen the experience, regulars keep coming back for the charm of the place, the relaxed seating, and standout dishes like their perfectly moist turkey dinner that's easily shareable between two people.”

I had the three course meal with the soup, chicken cordon blue spinach, potatoes, and cake. Everything else was good except the chicken cordon blue. It taste like crunchy paper. It would be nice if the chicken cordon blue was actually freshly prepared because eating frozen food at a sit down restaurant is crazy! I assume the fried chicken is frozen too so i would stay away from the chicken and waffles. I was extremely disappointed for what I paid for. The service was good though.
The cups need to be cleaned properly; this is the second time I've found one that wasn't clean. I think they don't wash them after customers.
We ordered a Thanksgiving turkey dinner plate to go. It was surprisingly extremely yummy. One dinner was enough for two people. The turkey with gravy is absolutely perfect. The turkey is not dry. It’s moist and really delicious. Sweet potatoes, delicious green bean casserole, and mashed potatoes and gravy. The pumpkin pie 🥧 was the best part. I wonder if they sell pumpkin pie all year round? Delicious!!! 🤤
I visited this café for the first time today — such a nice place! There are plenty of seats to sit and relax. I ordered breakfast, and the chef kindly added an extra egg — that was such a nice touch. Everything was delicious and cozy
I have been at this place multiple times. I like their food and drinks (lavender cocktail is highly recommended) but every time I visit this place no matter how busy they are they always have some problems with service. For example, last time they brought french fries for my kid instead of fruit bowl and I had to wait to water refill and extra napkins forever. So they got very little tip!
