MIMIS CAFE REVIEWS

I've been here twice in two months and both times I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. This last visit I had the Strawberry Lemonade and shared the Brioche Cheeseburger with my sister, as it was pretty big and neither of us wanted too much. It was my also my birthday weekend so I had Mimi's Bread Pudding (shared with others) and the Creme Brulee. It was all delicious and I enjoyed everything. Our host was very kind and courteous. And the venue has great seating options. On this visit we were on the outside patio which was beautiful on such a nice day as it wasn't too hot or cold out there. And they had umbrellas set up over us. It was perfect.

I’ve been going to Mimi’s Cafe for around 16 years and I cannot help but appreciate the consistency of the food and service. The food is always warm and tasty, and the staff is swift and always right there if you need anything. I have a special thanks for Maria as she has performed above and beyond for the cafe and I think anyone can appreciate her hard-working nature and lovable character. Please consider stopping by Mimi’s Cafe.

The service was very great and fast. Our server Ana was very kind and Miguel was very helpful and kind. He gave us a free desert for my birthday and gave me and my friend who came here for the first time a free muffin. Overall the experience was very welcoming and pleasant.

CLUTCH AND COFFEE REVIEWS

Flew in to LA and decided to grab a nice breakfast from this place with my Girlfriend! Decided to get this Loaded Breakfast Bowl and its DELICIOUS and filling. The potatoes - Bacon and Eggs were all absolutely fantastic. The sauce too was all solid. The waffle was just perfect. Not too soft or too crunchy with the right amount of sugar. Overall really happy with this place. Highly recommend! It can be very busy but we decided to sit at the kitchen area instead of booth or outside.

We ordered the country Benedict, a kids plate of French toast with the made in-house chicken patty, 2 egg breakfast & half side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy was so good on both plates. I liked that our server was very helpful navigate our way through the menu as it was our first time there. From the atmosphere to the service, we had a great experience. We feel like we discovered a new favorite place to eat at. Thank you.

Good food, friendly service, great coffee! There was just the right amount of spice in my shashuka, and the eggs were poached perfectly. The tritip is my husband's omelette was flavorful and tender. The biscuit was phenomenal, crisp outside and soft inside. Their espresso has a lot of body to it. Highly recommend trying one of their coffee drinks.

PINWHEEL CAFE & BAKERY REVIEWS

I went there with my daughter yesterday and we had coffee we had the breakfast sandwich on croissant called Morning. And it was delicious the atmosphere is so calm and peaceful we sat outside in the patio area and everyone is so bright and cheerful and kind and I just had a really great experience. Peace and blessings Pinwheel Cafe.

It's a very good thing we don't live closer, or this could become a habit! Amazing tartine with prosciutto and manchego cheese... Just the right amount. My dining companion had an omelette and potato au gratin. I was allowed a taste. Sublime. We resisted the pastries, but only just... A special little place in the middle of a shopping area.

This place popped up after searching for pistachio croissant and I can’t complain. Literally made my day, the filling wasn’t just a cheap cream but it almost tasted like real pistachio paste. Thanks a lot and definitely try it if you are reading this.
