Mimos Cafe Bar in City of London, Westminster

Popped in for coffee and cake. Very convenient for Paddington Station and better quality/value than most of the food outlets there.

Good breakfast and great pasta for dinner at a good price.

Nous avons petit déjeuner 3 jours de suite dans ce lieu. L’accueil, le service, la nourriture… Une adresse incontournable pour petit déjeuner à l’anglaise.

The atmosphere is due to smallness and international vibe of the place, not looks. Good bang for your buck I mean pound. Decent service. Good fuel up place for breakfast

Everyone were really kind, I only drank a coffee, but enjoyed it there, lovely atmosphere. I would recommend it!

Great food and service across the street and a couple doors down from Paddington Station, for 1/2-2/3 the price of other locations on that street.

It is a very special place, the people are very nice, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional, I recommend it 100% and would return whenever I could.

Staff was quite pleasant and the food is excellent. This cafe has honestly made me reconsider my hotel of choice when I stay in London so I can be closer to this cafe for breakfast. I believe next time I may stay closer to Mimos so I can get it more easily in the morning without having to ride a train. Definitely worth a stop in for a quick bite. Significantly cheaper than dining at the hotel as well for a far better experience.

loved the coffee, and nice place

Hearty breakfast round the corner from the hotel. Glad I didn’t have breakfast at the hotel. This place was cute.

Excellent fish and chips, good value. Friendly staff.

Update for 2024: I gave them another try and was again served flabby, undercooked bacon, this time with cold mushrooms to leaven the regret and two eggs which were respectively a "snotty" undercooked over easy (it's extra work to get eggs to cook evenly but isn't much to ask and easily learned, even in a busy kitchen) and another egg that was mashed up on the pan but served regardless, hidden under toast so the serving staff wouldn't see it on the assumption I wouldn't send it back. The waitress told me she didn't know "what to say" about getting it redone. One of the old hands arranged for the eggs and bacon to be redone but the eggs came back as hard as shoe leather and inedible, though the bacon was much better with a bit of extra time on the pan. As per my last review (below) their OJ is great and their coffee is the right side of acceptable, with a heavily extracted Lavazza whack. Functional. This was strike three and I won't return, sadly, despite sending friends here only a few weeks ago to give it a try. Sorry. ---- Surprisingly variable quality breakfasts given the genuine attention and effort applied by the team. Last time around I was served flabby, poorly cooked bacon, cold (precooked) sausages and snotty eggs, with cold toast. The coffee is functional, not fun. I can't fault the quality of their fresh OJ, mind. I've been mischarged twice and caught it both times, both with genuine apologies from the waiting staff. Third strike and they're out, though. Overall, Mimos has the whiff of somewhere that could be legendary but is currently cranking the handle at "Will this do?" speeds.

Great breakfast cafe. Bit tight and lively. But still highly recommended.

Small cafe in a good location near the station with good food and very good prices for London

The avokado sandwich was really disappointing with hardly any avokado with waterlike consistency and THIN slice of bread.

Tiny place but good food , always crowded but a couple of minutes and you will find a table and quick service

Pretty mediocre cafe. Service isn’t the most attentive, and they always seem to be busy. The English breakfast was just okay.

A nice little place. The waiters are very attentive and immediately look for a place to sit. We went for breakfast every day and the value for money is spectacular. Without a doubt, a 100% recommended place.

Nice relaxed and cosy litte resturant. I liked the athmosphere. Food is basic and good in that category. I recommend.

We had a wonderful breakfast, delicious, abundant breakfast and lots of kindness and great service. Great English Breakfast!! 😋

Unfriendly and staff made rude comments under their breath (but still audible). They are very busy with tourists and were constantly trying to empty tables. In terms of quality, not high. Portuguese tart I had was not good, but cappuccino was fine.

The premises are located close to Paddington Station. It serves tasty, classic English breakfasts. Additionally, good coffee and tea served in English, with milk. Crowded at breakfast time, but worth the wait.

English breakfast is so delicious. Good service. Good hospitality. High recommendation.

Very friendly and delicious coffee

We had a typical breakfast in this cafe, we were not disappointed! There is a choice on the menu and everything was very good. Rather long service overall. I recommend.

My wife and I were in London as part of a land/river cruise. We had seen the reviews about Mimos and thought we would give it a try. We were very happy with the meal. She had spaghetti and meatballs and I had carbonara and a Peroni. Pasta and beer were excellent. We also both had the mixed salad which was fine. The staff was warm and friendly and the meal was well served. We might try to swing by for lunch before we leave London!

Great food, great service, highly recommend

Fantastisk god engelsk frokost til både voksne og barn 🤌 Hyggelig personale og meget god service 🤩 Best frokosten vi spiste i London denne langhelgen!

We were there 2 times. First time for breakfast, and it was an amazing breakfast 😋 😍 I ordered an omelet with ham and cheese and my sister traditional English breakfast. Omelet was one of the best omelets I ever had :) 😀 Strongly recommend 👌

Very good place to have breakfast

Had a wonderful time at Mimos. Wonderful English breakfast. The staff were also very lovely to deal with. Had a good chat with the owner.

Cozy place with a good breakfast and friendly staff. It was crowded on a Saturday morning for good reason.

Excellent quality coffe and very gd food. Staf is very nice and polite

Fantastic coffee and very friendly staff. We went for breakfast and went back everyday for the coffee. Breakfast was good !

A liesurely Full English Breakfast was just the ticket for us. Mimos is a small, cosy cafe in the hustle and buscle of Paddington. Great service, good food and not expensive. We’ll be back!

We stayed there several times during our week's stay in London. As for the breakfast, cappuccino and coffee were good as were the English breakfast and the eggs, but no one liked the brioche. As for the dishes, they are not exceptional, especially the pasta is not recommended, from the carbonara with cream and parsley to the lasagna with parsley and god knows what, up to the penne alla angerta with completely raw sauce. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. High value for money for the quality it offers.

One of the best places to eat in Paddington. Warm, cosy atmosphere. Friendly and accomodating staff. Try meat cutlets with the mushroom sauce, you won't regret!!!

This place is so good !! The sandwiches and tagliatelle pasta are delicious

This is the first place I ate at when arriving to London. Right near Paddington station. The breakfast was good and price was nice. The wait staff however was not the most friendly and they messed up our order. Somehow they thought my sister wanted chips with her meal. Not sure if it was a diss as were American or something but the server seemed disinterested in checking on us after bringing the food.

Un petit café/snack italien qui sert de bons petits déjeuners anglais. Établissement bien situé près de la gare de Paddington à Londres. Il est très fréquenté

Thank you Laura to save my Apple ear pods. Server Dino was very friendly too. Strong WiFi highly recommended !

Everything was amazing, the staff, the food, the flavours and even the prices, please visit, you won't ever regret. I'll certainly will go back.

Had spaghetti and meatballs. Looked and tasted like it had been in a pot for several days. Very dry and pasty sauce/ noddles. Meatballs were OK, but, not that good. Minimal flavor. Service was decent.

Great place Wonderful English breakfast Terrific espresso

Great place! Everyone working is very conversational and welcoming.

Thought we'd stop in for a bite and a rest. Several customers who appeared to be friends with the staff all blasting videos on their phones. Staff also did it. If you want to have a relaxing coffee don't come here. No one has any basic manners.

Such a cool little spot! Great food and desserts

Great bacon sandwich but very disappointed that decaf coffee comes out of a tin and is not an expresso. Very strange for an Italian cafe to serve such a poor coffee.

Perfect Ice coffee, friendly service

We went in and got a seat pretty quickly given that it was busy. Took the waiter about 5 mins to bring us a menu and after serving lots of others that arrived after us, he then came back and took out order. We then got our drinks, the glass my daughter got was vile. Smelled like it was washed in cold dirty water, so she didn't use it and just drank from the can. It took 25 mins from We placed our order to get it. Others that came in well after us were nearly finished before we started trying to eat. I say trying to eat, our food looked like it was flashed in the pan. Guy sitting beside us had lovely well cooked bacon, ours was still oinking. It was vile. I would have complained and waiting for it to be redone only we needed to get off to get our train for a booking we had. Won't be back needless to say.

Best latte of my life. Staff was friendly.

quick, good, very filling, tasty. gladly again. You can probably also choose bread instead of toast. Lactose-free alternatives to milk on offer

Good classic English breakfast, full set visible in the photo for £9.

Found this place today as I’m working in the local area. Great food and coffee, well priced and great service. 👍👍

We went here for breakfast on our last day as we dropped our bags nearby. Cafe was very bisywith tourists and locals alike. We were lucky to get a table outside in the sun. Service took quite a long time but no wonder given the crowds and I think there wasn't enough wait staff for that. They forgot 2 items from our order but when followed up they appeared quickly I had scrambled eggs with salmon which came with toast. It was OK. Coffee was good though. Overall, nice place for a coffee and simple breakfast to a fair price.

Lovely full English Breakfast, nicely cooked, decent price. Staff very friendly. The cuppa tea was a bit insipid but I'm fussy about tea, most people wouldn't have noticed

Very friendly, easy restaurant. Great place to grab a good breakfast. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was served quickly and hot. There was a reasonable variety of English breakfast options.

Mimo’s Cafe in London was one of the best experiences I had in the city. Delicious coffee and Italian dishes at a price that anyone can afford. The service at Mimo’s is absolutely outstanding as well, so warm and friendly. You can tell you’re getting the real deal when it comes to Italian when visiting this restaurant.

We went to this restaurant several times, they always treated us with kindness, and the food was very good, and the service was very fast.

Very good, to return, ham and cheese panini with latte, good quality and price, everything very homemade!

Brilliant love the atmosphere and we're friendly.

Lively little eatery in Paddington which opens until 11pm. Food was so so but staff were very friendly. We watched soccer & enjoyed the warm ambience as we cheered together with other guests.

Delicious and real Italian coffee and tasty dishes

Lively little eatery in Paddington which opens until 11pm. Food was so so but staff were very friendly. We watched soccer & enjoyed the warm ambience as we cheered together with other guests.

We repeat it every morning of our vacation. Great coffee and good breakfast, all the workers were very nice. Recommendable.

Good honest value food. No need to pay more on the main high streets nearby.

Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars - otherwise I would like to give more. This is how I imagine my favorite restaurant. Identical setup. Fantastic food. A wide variety of dishes and fabulous staff and boss. Always friendly, always helpful. I tried a few different dishes and I say: yes, delicious. You can also reserve seats if you want. And very important to me – the coffee tastes fantastic. And clean toilets (ground floor)

Very nice place, Very kind people best eggs ever the chefs have so much experience and fantasy for the food.

Esta é a melhor queijada da madeira em toda a ilha. Quentinhos saídos do forno!! Assim que souberam que tinhamos vindo aqui de propósito para esta iguaria, foram logo apressar a senhora que os faz para conseguirmos levar uns de volta para o continente, pois já só haviam dois nas prateleiras. Um café onde de manhã não se consegue entrar de tão cheio que está pela qualidade dos sabores que aqui se provam. Os funcionários são extremamente amáveis e educados, são os madeirenses mais simpáticos que conhecemos! A repetir e a recomendar sem dúvida!!

This Italian cafe serves breakfast all day (and is a popular spot for that), but we were there in the afternoon and ordered lasagna and the spaghetti and meatballs. They were both so good and tasty. The lasagna in particular, had the creamiest cheese on it, and deep flavor in the sauce - so delicious! Our server was busy, but delightful. So glad we chose to stop in.

Awesome place for breaky Service was so quick coffee was great staff were friendly and helpful Would recommend this place for anyone finding the feet in Paddington 👍

Great little place I had spaghetti carbonara and it was unreal couldnt even finish it

Was here for breakfast. Good, hot food and the staff weren't fooling around, quick service.

Cozy and lovely little cafe serving tasty fresh food in a great discreet location. Stopped by on my way home and they had an assorted selection of breakfast, lunch and mains on the menu including Italian, steak and small bites on offer. Recommended.

Good place to eat at a good price. It is a quiet place and it is a good place with good food

This is a great affordable place to grab a bite. Breakfast is an especially a good deal for London. Staff was friendly and easy going. Coffee was good and they do a booming business for takeout and onsite eats.

Got breakfast sandwiches to go, so good we went back for dinner. Had delicious lasagna and spaghetti Bolognese, cheesecake and apple crumb cake, served warm with ice cream. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is excellent. I have eaten breakfast and dinner here and both were super. The service was exceptional. Very happy with this place.

in here the other day. Rude young male staff member lets the place down. If it wasn't for him and his arrogance you would be one of the best value and pleasant cafes in London. We spent a little over £80 but won't return. We saw another male with two ladies also subject to similar arrogance. It seems the male waiter has a problem with other men, or feels insecure around other men, affecting his behaviour.

Excellent service, delicious food and at a good price. We loved it!

Wir haben abends das Lasagne und Lamm gegessen und dazu die Hausmarke Rotwein (Flasche GBP19,--). Alles sehr lecker und reichlich zu sehr vernünftigen Preisen. Dazu der souveräne Service in einer sehr familiären Atmosphäre in einer - zugegeben - nicht sehr abgehobenen Bestuhlung. Beste Qualität und schneller, aufmerksamer, freundlicher Service. Was will man mehr.

Great place for breakfast. I had a full English breakfast almost every day (!) on our recent weeklong trip and Mimo's was in the top 3 for quality and probably the best price amongst the several places tried. Friendly and quick service too.

We waren 5 dagen in Londen. Mimos was om de hoek van ons hotel. We hebben hier elke ochtend ontbeten. Beviel echt erg goed. Heerlijke ontbijtjes en koffie. Aardige bediening. Je hoefde nooit lang te wachten op je ontbijt, en alles was erg vers. De prijzen waren erg acceptabel

Really relaxing wee cafe with great staff. Dino kept the coffee coming, and Lauren and another young lad were great waiters. Fab food, inexpensive and large portions. Enjoyed 2 breakfasts and a dinner at the cafe while staying at a hotel round the corner.

The service is good and they go fast, the young girls there are very very agile, the only thing is that first thing in the morning it is very full for breakfast, and keep an eye on the bill, because one day they charged me differently for the same thing I had the day before. (What I asked for was not in the letter)

High quality food, very quick preparation time, good service. Felt a little bit cramped but we were there during the breakfast rush so it makes sense. Nice atmosphere and the staff were very polite

Our first full English breakfast, no complaints. I loved the portion size for the halloumi and the cafe americano (not pictured) was very tasty.

The food was delicious, and the price was okay, so there were no complaints.

Delicious food, nice service, great atmosphere. I recommend

Friendly service and well priced menu of wholesome meals. Perfect for a pre train journey fill up. 😋

We have had breakfast the 4 days we have been in London and everything was great. Very good attention. The delicious coffee. They adapt to everything you ask for and the price is right. We also ate on the last day and it was very delicious and affordable. The chicken soup of the day, the spaghetti bolognese, caesar salad and tagliatelle were all delicious. All the waiters very nice and attentive.

The breakfast is good and plentiful! The quality/price ratio is very good! I highly recommend !

Excellent cafe for breakfast for my 6 friends !!! Everyone loved their food, coffee & fresh orange juice. We sat outside underneath the canopy. Sheila was especially good, very attentive, friendly and excellent at her job. Thank you for a lovely breakfast

Good breakfast and very good coffee. Nice service. Lots of small tables. The place is full at breakfast time.

We Love it here. Really good coffee. I think it's owned or run by some Greek fellows who are extremely attentive. Good vibe and location.

Good service & great carbonara!

Full English and cappuccino for breakfast. Overall it was delicious, but the grilled tomatoes and sausage were good. I entered the store as soon as it opened, and the store was buzzing with customers. I thought the location was good and it was a popular local restaurant.

Called at Mimos for a quick bite before the train home after a family day at Kew. Such a warm welcoming atmosphere with excellent food and second to none service. Made a good day perfect. Thank you all at Mimos.

Lovely little place for breakfast, very friendly and fast service. Wide selection.

Breakfast at 7 on a Sunday morning without reservation. We waited a few minutes to get a table. The restaurant is small but nice atmosphere. Extensive and affordable menu. Fast and attentive service! The terrace is small but nice if there is sunshine ☀️
