Delicious food, as always. Millie was an excellent waitress, made sure my coffee was full and that I had everything I needed.
Mimi's Cafe was a rare treat for me growing up in Orange County. South Bay wise, living as a full fledged adult, this Torrance location which I have been to a couple of times is just as darling and homey. The colors of decor take you in and the food transports you to the best of America. My favorites are their savory crepes, their fantastic salads, and their rich and hearty, yet perfect pitch on taste, soups. Bon appetit.
First time at Mimi's Cafe here and the food was great! I had the Classic Benedict and as an eggs benedict lover, I enjoyed the dish very much. Our server Zeudi had great service and was super nice!
We came here for breakfast on Labor Day, seeing a wait at other restaurants. Here we were sat quickly and our waitress, Ana Chan, was incredibly attentive and kind. She anticipated our needs and ensured we were happy with our meal. We also noticed that, when another customer left her keys on the table, Ana ran out to the parking lot to hand them to the guest. Talk about going above and beyond! We spoke with the Assistant Manager on duty, Millie, and she told us that Ana was new and that she was pleased with the feedback. We will definitely be returning and will ask for Ana on our next visit!
I've always seen Mimi's café around and never got the chance to try it but today off a whim. I finally decided to try it and the vibes were the first thing I noticed. It's really calming and a lot of nature around the restaurant. I was greeted and seated by staff right away--Milly was our server. The menu is filled with so many options and they all looked sooooo good but I tried out the French pot roast with the house red wine. It was all so fresh and needed no add ons flavor wise. The staff was extremely friendly and the manager came out to greet us and check on us personally. All of the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and showed it with their kindness and urgency. I will definitely be back to try something new. Thanks again for having us, shout out to Miguel and Milly!
Our dishes were okay, the ambiance mellow and the service was amazing. Millie is awesome-sauce! We'll be back soon
Millie was great ! The food and service is quick and delicious :) it is very quiet and comfortable
Mimi's Cafe has been always a "go-to" restaurant. I don't see the crowds that were here before the pandemic, however, the food is still tasty. The food's quality and taste is still in tact. For breakfast, I ordered my usual Belgium waffles, eggs and bacon. I specified the bacon to be crispy. They did not disappoint. The waiter took my order and it was fulfilled without an issue. There are new monitors that show current meals on the menu, etc. The dining room needs a little re-modeling. However, overall, a nice place to dine.
Nice spot for a good sit down breakfast! You'll notice the old-towne style red building the moment you enter the parking lot. Love the building, and the interior decoration is lovely! To start while looking at the menu, we ordered cappuccinos, but the machine was broken. We got coffee and tea instead, with two waters (one with no ice). The server returned with two waters with ice. I didn't make a deal of it. She was kind and had a warmth to her. We ordered the avocado croissant sandwich and the crabcake benedict (with fried egg whites instead of poached eggs). The avocado sandwich was AMAZING, and the potatoes were SCRUPTIOUS! However, the crabcake benedict was topped with fried whole eggs (not eggwhites). I didn't send the plate back, because the server was kind. The crabcake was delicious, and also served with the same yummy potatoes as the avocado sandwich. It's a lovely atmosphere and cute spot, but it seems that making any modification to your order won't be acknowledged. So if you plan to order, just order everything as is to avoid the hassle of not getting what you want. I'd still return if I was in the area. Delicious food
Nice place I come here for breakfast and lunch sometimes the salmon salad is so good one of my favorites things on the menu and the customer service here is great...
