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.

Food average, Beforenoon tea includes 2 rolls but can't have mixed, odd as cooking both bacon and sausages anyway. Biscoff pancakes tasted good but very dry, badly needed more sauce or pot of syrup or something on side. Cheese scones good as were mini cupcake and traybake. Food not great but at same time, not bad....just average. Hot chocolate and a latte were additional charge...first time I've had this when out for an Afternoon Tea or similar Morning Tea elsewhere, normally are happy to do for the non tea drinker.

Great place for a late breakfast. Loads of choice for eats and drinks. The food is freshly prepared so it's not instant but worth the short wait. The staff are fantastic. Easy payment AND you can take away a totally delicious cake. What more do you need?

Was very chilly sitting by window and ended up with our coats on. Food and service good but being cold and keeping closing front door for draft spoiled things a bit.

Lovely catch up with friends over coffee and cakes. Limited supply of choices left in cakes but it was 3pm on a Sunday and still enough to make the choice difficult!!
