Mimi's Little Bakehouse in Edinburgh, City of

While me and my friends were waiting on a delayed train at the nearby train station Waverly. We stopped into Mimis bakehouse and had a cup of coffee and some scones. They were some of the best i have ever had, and the coffee was exceptional as well. Me and my friends were thrilled with the quick and effective service offered by the staff. Will be returning!

Place is run by children, rude ones at that ! Will not be returning, staff too busy dancing and singing, felt like a kindergarten.

One O’Clock in the afternoon, it looked inviting and was very handy for Waverly Station. Found a table and got settled, went to counter and placed the order, only to be then told that there was no food left, only soup……not the first time this has happened. No indication that “food was off”, many tables left uncleared and generally stand-offish vibe from the staff.

Adorable ! L’une des meilleures parts de gâteau, dans un lieu très mignon et un personnel chaleureux, j’y repense avec nostalgie. J’ai hâte de pouvoir y retourner !

This spot is such a wonderful Edinburgh gem, all of the staff were so lovely and helpful! I went by myself while I was exploring the city and was so happy how close it was to the train station! Tilda was wonderful in making my coffee and helping me choose my cakes, the manager Kuba and 2 other’s, Lily and Bronwen, chatted to me while I waited for my coffee and were incredibly kind in explaining everything. Rebecca rang my order up and everything was super smooth and efficient. The place was incredibly tidy and had such a buzzy and joyous atmosphere. I was thrilled with my experience and will be recommending to my friends and family to come and stop there for coffee and cakes! I had the bus off brownie and it was incredible!!

Il posto è abbastanza piccolo, ma la scelta di brownies e altri dolci è ampia. Non solo sono TUTTI squisiti, ma le porzioni sono decisamente abbondanti paragonati ad altri negozi del genere (con prezzi uguali).

First time I’ve been to Mimi’s, which has a great reputation. The scones were tasty, the coffee good (in compostable cup-excellent!) and friendly service. Very good.

Apareció aquí después de visitar el centro de arte. Suerte conseguir una mesa con distanciamiento social. Mi esposo había estado a punto de pedir 2 pastelitos de terciopelo rojo hasta que vio su bollo de queso favorito, era enorme y se servía caliente. Elegí un bizcocho de plátano tan bueno. Solo necesito volver por Red Velvet. Estos fueron regados con un delicioso café y un sabroso té verde.

Honestly the staff seemed a little perturbed to be having to serve us and were more obsessed with covid restrictions and looking at a clipboard. Despite the face mask we are all still human! Otherwise the tray bakes were very good!

Apareció en Mimi's al azar para tomar un té y café rápido y me sorprendió gratamente. La decoración era hermosa, mi pequeño muchacho amaba las sombrillas en el techo. Nos sirvió un encantador muchacho irlandés de Trim. Él fue realmente amable y se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos. Pastel de zanahoria estaba delicioso?Definitivamente regresaría cuando en Edimburgo nuevamente.

Al instante me enamoré del ambiente y la decoración aquí, y el personal fue encantador y muy acogedor con nosotros y nuestro cachorro. La comida era tan sabrosa, en realidad mejor que el pastel sorprendentemente! Recomiendo los huevos turcos y la moka Nutella. Volveremos cuando esté en Edimburgo :)

Endroit super pour prendre un petit déjeuner, beaucoup de choix sucre comme salé. Bon rapport qualité/prix, personnel sympathique. Il est situé juste à côté de la gare de Waverley. Je recommande.

Met up with some friends here. Service was good. Coffee and cakes were lovely. Grabbed a snack here too which was good. Very family friendly and enjoyed my time here.

Recientemente visité para el brunch y comí la tostada francesa Banoffee, y ¡guau, fue increíble! ¡Un plato definitivo para los golosos! La comida no solo sabía muy bien, sino que el tamaño de la porción definitivamente valía la pena, ¡tenía tanto que no pude terminarlo! Sugeriría ofrecer porciones más pequeñas de desayuno por un precio más barato, pero aparte de eso, la experiencia fue excelente. Definitivamente lo recomendaría.

This is my favourite Mimi’s (also been to the Royal Mile and Leith stores). It is spacious and plenty of tables so easy to pop in. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. The brunch menu is extensive and the food is delicious. The coffee was also lovely. I didn’t have a sweet treat on this visit but I have done before and always thoroughly enjoyed them.

Visited on 22nd December where we had soup and a scone with a cuppa. What a lovely wee place, the staff are helpful and friendly and the service was excellent. Enjoyed it so much we returned next day for a scone before heading home. Being the time of year it was rather busy but we found a table easy enough and also didn’t feel rushed in any way.

I spotted Mimi’s as I left Waverley station. As soon as I opened the door the 2 staff were so friendly, welcoming and attentive.We were given menus and invited to take a seat and return to the counter to order..I ordered 2 filled rolls and 2 coffees which cost just over £15..I thought it was a bit pricey, however when the rolls arrived I couldn’t believe the size of the portions..We were each presented with a ciabatta, the bacon one had at least 4/5 rashers and the black pudding one had 2 thick slices..They tasted amazing and they were so big that we couldn’t finish them.The coffees were excellent, the perfect temperature and a good size of cup.Lovely decor and very clean and well presented.I will definitely be going back..

I had lunch at Mimi’s with a friend last week. She had a bacon roll which was packed with bacon and was delicious. I had the avocado on sourdough toast with poached eggs which was glorious. The service was friendly and quick. The only minus was the lack of space and the tables being really close together, but it is behind Waverley station so I’m guessing they are aiming at people who’re passing through for a bite rather than a leisurely lunch.

Wonderful little place just opposite Waverly Station. Loved the decor and the colourful umbrellas on the ceiling.

Lovely little place just outside Waverley station, had the bounty filled brownie and Reese's slice. Both were lovely, definitely give this place a visit.

We had a lovely first visit to Mimi's. The cafe is very small and can only sit about 12 people comfortably and there is also some seating outside. The cakes we had were delicious and the drinks were tasty. Nice for a stop off after a long walk.

Very tiny cafe, shame it’s not bigger really. We only had coffees and cakes which were lovely but a table next to us had soup and it looked so good.

Buen lugar para comer alguna cosa antes de marchar de viaje (o cuando llegas a Edimburgo). Gran variedad de platos, incluso pastelería.

Despite its name, this place is not little. I love the decor and the desserts were not overly sweet. It is a nice place to chill. The branch at canon gate is much smaller and you might not get a place to sit so definitely would prefer the Market street branch.

I was being a grump old moo when I arrived here for tea and a scone yesterday. A lovely member of staff defused me before I erupted and presented me with a top up to my pot of earl grey tea and a delicious hot apple and spiced scone. She was helpful again when my absent minded husband thought he had left his phone. I highly recommend Mimi's Bakehouse to the aging, forgetful and insane.

Have been planning to visit Mimi's for sometime having had a few glowing reports from friends.

Don't hang around the busy Edinburgh's Waverley station, Opposite the Market Street entrance is a gem of a place to have soup, sandwiches and good coffee etc with the friendliest staff you'll find in town. We are regular visitors. Typically last eve I had a long day return journey with a quick family gathering and turn around and they couldn't be more accommodating with our needs. Demi was on the case providing brilliant customer service and making us so welcome at the end of the a busy day. A big thanks!

Cool location with lots going on. Top class food, great presentation, great service. If you want a quality lunch, quick and central - beside all the key transit points - can’t go wrong

I was looking for a simple breakfast and, based on TA reviews, went to Mimi's. It doesn't open till 9am and breakfast ended up being a fruit scone with jam and clotted cream and a coffee.

super small place... only serves a few desert options, coffees and teas. Very nice patio to enjoy your snack and coffee. overall good experience!

Popped in here for lunch during a day out to Edinburgh. We had two sandwiches - one with cheese and chutney and the other with honey roast ham and mustard mayo. Both were a decent size, very tasty and came with crisps and salad. I think they were around £7.20 each which is more expensive than other sandwich places but I felt it was reasonable for what we got. Staff were really friendly which is always plus to any place.

We had a light lunch here (our choice!) .. egg mayo sandwiches and macaroni cheese between three. All members of staff were exceptionally helpful - simply couldn't hope for better.

Morning breakfast problem solved with this Gem. Small but quaint cafe off Main Street offers great pastries and cakes. I had the fruit scone with jam and cream. Tasted great and Ruth a double espresso made my day whole lot better. Check it out for your morning fix.

Located at the bottom of a long flight of stairs, or just outside Waverley station if you don’t fancy climbing down from above is this nice and friendly bakery. There’s a main area near the till and a larger side room. They serve sweet and savoury foods... I personally chose a nice coffee and a home made style chocolate brownie that would make Willie Wonker jealous.

Absolutely superb brunch - haloumi and avocado toast was delicious. Nice staff, great place. Branch in Corstorphine is excellent too.

We were ravenous and somewhat traumatised by having just driven through flash floods - we fell in the door of Mimi's Bakehouse and were treated to a wonderful choice of delicious dishes, excellent coffee and very friendly, helpful service. Will definitely go back. Avocado smash on toast with chorizo and feta not be missed!

After a long morning walking around the sights of Edinburgh, Mimi’s was the perfect stop to gear up for the rest of the day. The lady behind the counter was an absolute sweetheart and gave everyone some great recommendations. With five in our group, we all grabbed a coffee or some hot chocolate to keep us running. I, personally, grabbed a caramel latte that was absolutely delicious. I downed the whole thing within ten minutes and was tempted to go back for more. Unfortunately, we were already well on our way to Arthur’s Seat. I will definitely be going back a couple times before the end of my stay in Edinburgh and maybe even try one of the scones that seem to be a store favorite.

Gut geeignet für eine Kaffeepause beim Sight-Seeing, es alle Kaffeespezialitäten und sehr leckere Kuchen, nettes Sitzen, für längeres Verweilen etwas eng.

Excellent coffee and fantoosh selection of cakes in a classy decor... Nice touch with the brollies on the ceiling. You'll have had your tea then?

Sehr leckere Muffins, guter Espresso, tolle Auswahl. Schöner kuscheliger Shop, zum verweilen oder to-go.

Situated just outside Waverley Station we dropped in here to enjoy a super lunch. I chose the Stovie with black pudding and my partner enjoyed the French Toast with sausage and maple syrup. Quick and friendly service make this a great option and centrally located. There are number of brunch and lunch choices to enjoy in a bright establishment and food can be ordered to take out if desired.

Group of 4 friends who lunch every week; always looking for something sensibly priced.

This is a nice cafe with wholesome brunches and quality cakes, cupcakes, breakfast and lunches. However, it needs to diversify more and offer more vegan and gluten-free options, as we hardly had any options available, which was disappointing. Although the quality of meals and produce used is rich, delicious and high, their curried lentil soup could do with more flavour and zest. The staff were nice and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Wow, what a selection of cakes and drinks.

I always prefer going to the larger mimi's in leith as it offers more. But this is a little slice of heaven for a pit stop. Cakes are homemade and fresh.

Lovely food and a great menu selection. Friendly staff, quick service and nice atmosphere. You'll love it.

It’s great to find a Mimi’s little bakehouse a stones throw from the station ( Edinburgh Waverley) a lovely place to spend 50 minutes whilst I waited for a train.

Great value. Service and quality as well as quantity of food was wonderful. When visiting the City Art Centre it is a "must stop".

This is a pleasant, bright cafe that can be accessed from Market Street right opposite the "back" entrance to Waverley Station or from the City Art Gallery next door. On offer are cakes and snacks, sandwiches made to order, some hot food and breakfast items. I chose a bacon roll made with Ramsay of Ayrshire bacon and offered on white or brown roll. I chose the former and my only disappointment was that a self-professed Scottish baker puts delicious and perfectly cooked Scottish bacon on to a faux Italian "roll" - either a "panini" or a "ciabatta" roll (forgive my ignorance). It was, I give you, large and the bacon was generous and it tasted fine but, call me old fashioned, I do like a good Scots roll around my bacon.

On a visit to the Art Centre, we popped in for a wee bite. The scones were extremely tasty, the staff very pleasant and prompt service

Pleasant, light modern cafe, great for afternoon tea, with amazing cakes. The custard cream tiffin is highly recommended.

I suppose we were spoilt having had our first experience of Mimi’s down at the Shore and I suppose I had high expectations, sadly I was disappointed. There were no tables free when we walked in but one did become available and as we had come off a delayed train and meeting family we just wanted a latte and so we put up with a dirty table. The cups were cleared but the table wasn’t wiped. I went up to order our coffees and the girl who served me was so friendly, genuinely and not forced and it is this service that will make Mimi’s because the latte’s were on the strong side and because we weren’t buying cakes on this occasion I feel that we could have been in any cafe anywhere, sorry Mimi’s!

Stopped in past on way back from a tour of the Scottish Parliament. Both my husband and I had a banana toffee cupcake and a cup of tea, cupcake had the right amount of sweetness needed with the tea. Service was prompt and waitress welcoming. The decor is quaint , overall well worth a stop for a flycup .

For lunch we both had butternut pumpkin soup with bread which was delicious and warmed us up on a cold day. We shared a macaroni cheese with garlic bread which was devine. Cappaccinos were perfect. Customer service was excellent and it was good value for money.

Popped here for breakfast after arriving at the train station as it was right opposite. It was busy, but we found a seat. The staff were friendly and the food good. I know some people have said it was expensive but for an independent cafe located right in a city centre, it was as I would expect. Lots of people were popping in for take out drinks too. Would recommend.

I wanted breakfast on arrival at the train station on my recent visit to Edinburgh so called in here after a good while since my last visit. My breakfast roll was lovely - eggs perfectly cooked and coffee was good too. The place has a good casual menu for breakfasts and lunch and service is friendly and helpful. I would definitely return here.

It's a pleasant place, but we were disappointed in the food we ordered and found it very expensive : Two cheese and chutney sandwiches, which were rather on the dry side, and two cans of cola for £19. We asked for wine, but were told the licence wasn't yet active. The sandwiches came with a mound of crisps, but a few of them and a refreshing side salad, even just green leaves, would have been preferred. People around us were enjoying a coffee and a slice of what appeared to be really nice cake, so perhaps that's what to go for here.

Popped in here for a coffee before catching my train and couldn't resist a treat from their amazing selection of cakes and bakes! So hard to choose but went for the biscoff brownie and it was unbelievable. Lovely, friendly atmosphere and a great coffee date/catch-up spot!

This cafe/ restaurant is right opposite the south exit of Waverley Station, and directly connected to the excellent City Art Centre, so very handy for so much, and for people meetiing up.

Stopped by for lunch, the menu is quite compact but plenty of vegetarian options. I had the avocado toast which was beautifully presented, tasty and a very generous portion. Couldn't resist a classic biscoff brownie to takeaway for dessert, can't visit Mimi's without getting cake after all!

Recently opened within the City Art Centre, Mimi's Little Bakehouse is the perfect location for a quick (and good quality) coffee on my morning and evening commutes via Edinburgh Waverley. They also have an extensive sit-in menu featuring French Toast and homemade stovies.

So happy that Mimi’s have taken on this great space. I understand they will be operating as a pop up until they do a full refurbishment in January and I’m really excited to see what the finished product looks like. The menu is compact but covers some nice brunch and lunch options. We opted for the Black Pudding Stovies and the ultimate Brunch Toastie. Both were beautifully presented and really hit the spot. We didn’t have space for cake but ive had Mimis cake on several occasions from their other stores and it never lets you down. Fantastic addition to the street and almost too handy for my commute

Mimi’s has done it again...and what a fab location! Right by Waverley so perfect for grabbing a takeaway cake. I had the avo toast with eggs and then a biscoff brownie which was insanely good. Super food, great wee place

Mimi’s in the city centre - dreams do come true! This great space within the city art centre serves up all the faves and amazing coffee, super handy for Waverley station too!
