Reviews for Mimi's Cafe in San Diego, CA
It's been a few years since I last visited so I thought it would be nice to give it a review. Sadly, things were not as good as... I remembered. Came here after lunch hour on a weekend. It was expectedly empty, and service was a bit slow, also expectedly. Iremembered being welcomed with a basket of warm, sweet, wheat bread before my main entree years ago. Nowadays, we were servedhard, cold white bread along with my dinner entree. I didn't want anything to go wrong, so I ordered what my server recommended- slow roasted turkey. The stuffing was bland. The turkey was a bit dry. My mashed potato side was pretty good, and that I wouldrecommend. My broccoli was room temperature cool. Overall, it was a quite disappointing experience. I had high expectationsbecause of fond memories of this place. I hope it will be a better experience next time. Read more
I got the Herb-Grilled Shrimp Pasta from the Summer Menu (Two grilled shrimp skewers, seasoned with fresh herbs and served over... linguine pasta tossed with caramelized onions, mixed peppers, spinach, and parmesan in a tomato, basil, and Chardonnay sauce)with garlic bread. The shrimp and bread were good, but I thought the pasta was kind of bland and $20 was a little much. My Dadliked his Sante Fe Omelete without the tortilla strips (eggs, jalapenos, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, Monterey jack cheese, andchipotle sauce) and roasted potatoes. He also liked his Blueberry Crumble Muffin. I think the prices are high for what we gotand I guess have gone up. My Dad and my Step-Mom are big fans of Mimi's Cafe and go all the time. Enough where somelocations/waiters know them by name. The service was also unfortunately very slow this time. Read more

The food took an extra long time to came out. Arrived very cold, but after already waiting a while we needed to eat. The toast... needed some kind of jelly that wasn't offered. The seasonal muffin was warm but very dry. Overall 6 outta 10. Would probablygive it another try for dinner. Read more
Delightful! One of the best restaurants in San Diego. I live in San Francisco but this place it's become my obligatory stop for... breakfast when I'm in the area. Exquisite food and the personal is amazing, always prompt. Highly recommended!! Read more
This place was very disappointing. The menu looked so good but what you pay for is not what you get. I got the Chicken Cheddar... Mac. I was really pump about this choice but what I got was not what the description said. The pasta was beyond salty and thecheese was definitely not cheddar. It tasted like American cheese almost like velveeta cheese. I had to leave it without eatingmuch of it. $18.49 for a pasta entree that I could have done at home with much less salt. And the avocado side was like $3.00for 1/4 of an avocado . ??????????? it really missed the mark. I don?t know what happened, most of the reviews here were good Read more
My favorite food there was Benedict eggs and their seasonal latter pumpkin was good! Staff was friendly and fast!
