Mimi’s Bakehouse is a second-generation family business established in Edinburgh in 2010, when Michelle Phillips sold her family home to open a bakery café in Leith. We have gone on to build a local success story brand that gives people a ‘hug when they walk in the door’ as the original café has since doubled in size and the business has gained five more shops, a successful website selling cakes online and a concession at Archerfield Walled Garden. We also opened an industrial bakery in March 2020, out of which most online trade is produced for fulfilment. Mimi’s Bakehouse has become one of Edinburgh’s best-loved bakeries and an award-winning brand which is a well-known “feel good” place to visit, while remaining small enough to go the extra mile and try new things.
We serve brunch, afternoon tea, coffee and cake.

    We got seated promptly which was good service by female on front of house. We then waited 10 mins till I got the attention of server dealing with another customer who came in after us. We had booked online afternoon tea for 2 as it was my birthday treat from my boyfriend to which I had also confirmed this via email mimi’s sent. The server had told the other customer that no afternoon teas had been booked for today which is when I interrupted to advise I had booked for that also. Server then went away somewhere and came back another 5 mins later to deal with other customer. This is very poor service so we got up and walked out without eating. 1st and last time I’ll come here.

    Staff were lovely and we were seated and served quickly. The banana bread was out of this world, coffee's were lovely and dairy free milk was accommodated no problem. My French toast was sadly really disappointing. I don’t know if it was simply down to the thickness of the bread, or just an oversight, but the bread wasn’t soaked in egg right through. So basically I ended up with a super thin omelette attached to each side of the bread but completely untouched plain bread through the middle.

    Very poor experience compared to many previous visits. Most of the restaurant was closed off, so there was none of the usual buzz we expect at Mimi's. In terms of food served in our afternoon tea, the scones were obviously not freshly made that day and as a result were very dry and unappetising. The cakes were fine but clearly reduced in size but the sandwiches and sausage rolls reached Mimi's usual standard. Up until now we have always left Mimi's in Leith feeling extremely satisfied with the whole experience of both the restaurant itself and the standard of the food. As a result this visit left us feeling flat and disappointed. Just to make it clear, the staff were very attentive so this review is not a reflection of their service.

    The afternoon tea was lovely but I think very overpriced for what we had. £25 per head was a bit steep.4xsmall sandwiches ,small cocktail sausage roll ,2 scones with cream and jam,3 small cakes and unlimited tea/coffee. Service was very good . This was a Christmas present for 2 but don't think I would pay that amount .

    Staff coped with my adult daughter with ASN so very well and respectfully. They also managed my confusion as to what I requested. I will definitely back.

    I absolutely love coming to Mimi's! So friendly and welcoming, it's so much better than those other cafes and coffee houses! Yes, it's more expensive, but you very much get what you pay for, and this is my once-every-few-months treat. I absolutely recommend Mimi's Leith!

    I booked afternoon tea with champagne, I got served prosecco. No apologies or explanations were made explaining lack of champers. It was an important celebration, so I'm understandably gutted.
