mimi's bakehouse

amazing everytime!. firstly, wow, chill out baristano1! my first review on urbanspoon just because i found your review so random and if i am honest slightly abusive. anyway!

i have moved abroad and every time i come home to edinburgh mimi's is top of my to do list as i love it so much! everything from the staff to the food to the decor just hits the spot with me! personal fav aero slice has me returning every time! do you guys deliver internationally? : ) cant wait to come home and christmas and check out the new extension!

this place is truly unique! it is not trying to be a patisserie style cafe, the cakes are original and taste like cake should taste- amazing! i was in yesterday and had the best battenburg cake ever! something you very rarely get in a cake shop now. they also had just won various awards at the scottish bakers awards, which i'm sure can't be easy. keep up the amazing work mimi's, it must be so disheartening when people are not getting what you are about.

mimi's is extremely popular in edinburgh but i only managed to visit for the first time last week. my boyfriend and i went in for tea and a cake in the afternoon and i was surprised at how big the cafe is inside; i know that it can be difficult to get a seat at weekends, so i imagined it to be quite small.
there were so many delicious looking cakes that we both found it hard to order. eventually we chose to share a mars bar crispy and a slice of banana and nutella cake. both were amazing, the banana and nutella is a fantastic combination and the mars bar crispy was a huge square with bits of mars bar on top.
along with the cakes the service was a highlight of our time at mimi's. our server was cheerful and bright and very engaging with us. i can't wait to try more of mimi's cakes!

well when i seen the scottish bakers association had awarded mimi's bakehouse second runner up for the best bakery in scotland i had to try it. i wasn't dissapointed. we were surprised to find mimis did not only do cakes and offered a menu packed with 'belly busting breakfasts and lavish lunches' we went for fish cakes and french toast with maple syrup. the fish cakes were fantastic the french toast was devine!! when i decided to add the canadian maple syrup to my french toast it sparked a debate with my wife whether my lunch was a sweet or savoury dish! the cake selection is fantastic a whole array of cake and tray baked which you can watch getting made in the open plan bakery. we decided to share a fresh cream pavlova and to get some cookie dough cupcakes to takeaway. i have to say i have never in my 40 years tasted such an amazing cupcake! caramel sponge with a filled cookie dough centre and a light icing and decorated with cookie crumbs. fantastic. i have to say what really makes this place is the staff you are really made to feel welcome when you arrive and the next time you are greeted like a friend! brilliant i will be back!

i cannot understand the negative reviews contained within this website which are in stark contrast to everything i have heard and more importantly to my own experiences in mimis.

every time i have visited all aspects of the food on offer have been first class with a friendly, efficient and warm level of service. the scones are among the best i have ever tasted and the savoury food is extremely fresh and what is on offer changes daily.

i can only imagine that the poor reviews stem from competitors, jealousy or a combination of both.

visited this place whilst on holiday with my family. it’s the perfect place for a delicious, full filling breakfast.
everyone recommended us to have a meal at this place and it certainly did not disappoint.

a really nice place to head out for brunch. the afternoon tea with some toast sounds just about right. its a cute small bakery in leith. definitely worth a visit.

had been to mimi's bakehouse and its was and fantastic place to hangout ooh soo sweet mimi's french toast stack ek dum swadisht ek delicious
grand marnier hot chocolate was also too yummy and superb

i’ll just put this out there. i love mimi’s. i have always loved mimi’s since they opened in leith and my love affair with their french toast began and i doubt it will ever wane. mimi’s bakehouse first opened their doors in late 2010 and they have been adding to their bakehouse empire ever since, opening up in corstorphine and the royal mile. they are a family of bakers and long may their reign continue as most things, okay everything, that comes out of mimi’s is utterly delicious.

a small yet cosy bakery where the staff are always smiling and friendly! a favourite haunt for a girly catch up session or just a peaceful breakfast, you have to try the scones at mimi's, they're the best!

a friend had recommend mimis and as my daughter loves high teas we thought we would give it a go for her birthday. we went for the beforenoon tea which is only available saturday's and sunday's 9am until 12pm,the bake house was extremely busy so i was ever so glad we booked and it was the last sunday of the edinburgh festival. we all had a hot drink to start, amazing selection of teas available the beforenoon tea had bacon butties,cheese scones,french toast,waffles with toffee,muffins and granola. you can also get a glass of orange,apple and cranberry juice for an extra £2.00. we had never experienced the sweet with the savoury before but very tantalising on the tastebuds. it all comes on the 3 tier cake stand and what you can't eat can be taken away. we all enjoyed the tea and the service was excellent the staff even put a candle on a scone for my daughter. we will all be going back some time to try some of the different teas available.

amazing food and drinks! must try the banana split french toast, it is simply delicious. the veggie gourmet breakfast is also quite nice.
would definitely go back there!!

just been to the beforenoon tea at mimi's after having it on my hitlist for a while. dear lord, what a treat! always been a fan of their afternoon tea offering but this is in a league of it's own. delicious bacon rolls on soft warm rolls, granola, a teeny cupcake- and then the stars of the show...cinnamon buns, waffles with dulche de leche and cheese and chive scones. can't decide what my fav was- but i was left unable to speak...which is unheard of. brilliant.

it took me a while but i finally visited the much spoken about bakery for afternoon tea. the ambience, staff and variety offered on the platter, definitely does justice to the popularity the place has received. just a word of advice though, don't make the mistake i did by ordering hot chocolate, you'd probably be better off with some tea instead.

i come here quite regularly for coffee and cake for work and am always greeted by great service and a great atmosphere. the cakes are amazing, i can never decide what i want. my favourite is the red velvet cupcakes they are amazing!
