text: Got To give it a starsnnAfter constantly passing by Mimis Cafue for years to get our Sunday bagel at Einsteins next door we finally took a chance and walked in The wifey and I were convinced that if there is always a crowd on the weekend for breakfast maybe it is worth a lookseennMimis Cafue always rubbed me as an old folks eatery since there is often an abundance of seniors eating here just like another restaurant I know called Marie Callendars The inner duecor of Mimis was nice enough kind of a French bistroNew Orleans vibe with the deep reds and the dark browns and jazz playing in the background But the place did overall keep an airy breezy feeling with lots of windows and natural lightnnLooking at the menu Mimis is definitely on the French cuisine end Lots of French inspired food options for breakfast Especially the headingshilarious Things like Les Waffles Le Griddle and Les Omelettes made me chuckle inside I kept thinking a French version of the Muppets Swedish Chef yes I know that is an oxymoron of sorts was in the kitchen about to make my meal nnAfter ordering some drinks we tackled what to try The wifey got the Strawberry Waffle Perdu Mimis original pain perdu filling of cream cheese and orange marmalade on three petite waffles topped with fresh strawberry sauce I got tall stack of four Mimis Original Buttermilk Pancakes We both opted to make our entrees a Le Grande Breakfast for an extra each With this we got two eggs made any style and our choice of bacon pork or turkey sausage ham or Bayonnestyle corned beef hashnn minutes later it seems the French Swedish Chef had our order done Nice looking plates with little fuss Both dishes came with a bowl of fruit as a side which was a nice touch Overall the food was pretty good and the servings were decent The wifeys Strawberry Waffle Perdu were good even though a bit on the sweet side with the strawberry sauce The waffles were not soggy with a nice crisp exterior but a slight chew to the inside Mimis pancakes were actually very good Light not doughy not overcooked with just enough flavor from the whipped butter and warm maple syrup My eggs were cooked a perfect over easy and great for dipping pancakes into yolky goodness But for us the standout were the little patties of corned beef hash We love corned beef hash for breakfast even the crap from the can and Mimis was a winner Meaty but not salty and with just enough filler to keep them together Went perfect with pancakes and eggsnnService was good at least for us our server was polite very attentive and made sure our drinks were topped off Too bad she did not have a French accentnnId be back here again to Mimis for lunch if the menu is still on the French inspired end For breakfast it was a bit pricy for two of us with drinks entrees tax and tip it came to just shy of I do not mind spending money but I really believe breakfast should be on the cheap end So if you are value conscious you may be better off at your local Dennys for your Grand Slam Come to Mimis if you want a little froufrou with your coffee
