The last time I ate at a Mimi's cafe was probably somewhere around 1998. Yup, it's been awhile. When I went to visit some good friends in Arizona, I had the pleasure of eating breakfast here. After walking in, I instantly forgot how charming it is with the mini chandelier lights and homey feel. It almost felt like a restaurant you would see in the New Orleans section of Disneyland. Here's what I ordered:
Potato Cake Eggs Benedict: Hickory-smoked bacon, spinach, tomatoes, poached eggs and Hollandaise. With fresh-cut fruit-- This was just delicious. Eggs were cooked exactly how I like them- poke them and all the yolk comes dripping out. The potato cake was almost like a hash brown and was seasoned nicely. The bacon, spinach and tomatoes were yummy too.
Lemon Poppyseed Muffin: Piping hot and fresh out of the oven, I loved how I could taste the tanginess of the lemon and feel the tiny crunch of poppy seeds as I took a few bites.
I think I'll definitely have to go to my own local Mimi's just for the muffins alone.
