We had a wonderful experience at Mimi’s Cafe in Downey! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for our meeting. Our server, Darlene, went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly stood out. The food was delicious, fresh, and served promptly. From the service to the ambiance, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for both casual dining and small gatherings!

Wanted a cozy dinner; this place delivered :)
Love me some good potatoes and steak, just simple home-y dinners, and it was great. The ambience and how quiet and cozy it is really adds to it. Our server, Darlene was sweet and attentive, I work food service so I can tell when someone’s being real and who’s just kinda playing it up, she’s a real one, very sweet. Gave us recommendations and let us order as I’d never been here before, sometimes they kinda rush you, so we love that. Will be coming back because this restaurant is so simple yet so good, it’s all I’m asking for, cozy environment and cozy food.

Friendly, fast and still yummy as I remembered it. I had a craving for French onion soup and I immediately thought of Mimi's. Went to the one in Downey. Was seated immediately and ordered way more than I should eat but it was all delicious. Warm carrot raisin Madeleine with whipped butter. Hot, tender pot roast and rich chocolate cake. The host and my waitress was prompt, friendly and attentive. Darlene also told me the specials , promotions, and refilled my drinks when it was about to be empty. I really enjoyed the food and experienced today. Means a lot for a Monday with a 70 minute commute. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
