Mimi's Bakehouse (Leith)

• A really unusual design that tied in nicely with the cafe&rsquo
• After what seemed like a lifetime to get home and tuck in we found that there was a slight mix up with our order
• Whilst the cheesecake was present we&rsquo
• D been given the wrong chocolate cake (no red velvet with white chocolate frosting
• Whilst the chocolate cake was tasty and incredibly moist it just couldn&rsquo
• The portions were very generously sized
• The place is really cosy and it's a place where you want to go with your friends and family
• The design of the place is really original with sugary colours
• The cakes I have tried so far were all delicious and I have to say that my favourite is the Oreo cake
• The good thing is that you don't have to prepare diner afterward and if you have to much cakes and sandwiches
• The regular teatime is always great but I was a little disappointed by the Christmas Tea Time which was more expensive (£
• 5 for the Classic) and some of the items were not up to what they usually do
• The red velvet cake was moist and the frosting plentiful while the hot chocolate came was the closest a hot chocolate has ever been to luxurious
• I recommend their pancakes with bacon and maple syrup
• Or just a yummy scone with all the cream and jam you can eat
• The staff are great and are very used to adding extra chairs
• French toast with bacon and far too many of their cakes
• The decor inside is really fun and quirky
• The cakes are just do die for and the food is really tasty
• Three main reasons 1 best cakes in Edinburgh 2 the chic vintage decor 3 Mimi's bakehouse inspired my first ever blog post
• Perfect place to go for a catchup with my wee blogging buddy Shakira Rahman before heading to a beauty event
• S Bakehouse is a fantastic place for brunch
• Their afternoon tea is splendid and very affordable at about £
• It also comes with a selection of cakes and fresh scones
• You can also choose which kind of tea you would like to have with you delicious treats
• Brunch my favourite brunch is French toast with banana and salted caramel &ndash
• I love Mimi's Bakehouse (Leith) and with great prices and friendly staff I&rsquo
• As it seems there are no more waiting staff meaning you get served a lot quicker than I have experienced in the past
• Perfect Sunday afternoon with my best friend here at Mimi's
• We ordered afternoon tea between the 2 of us and so glad we did because it was plenty for us both
• In fact it was more of a surprise
• I do have a soft spot for scone with jam and cream but was taken by a sweet surprise when I tasted the coconut mixed with the jam
• Overall a cute lovely cafe with a great view
• Ocean Terminal shopping centre also is not that far away( we both walked there) so shopping there would round of a great day
• My destination was Mimi&rsquo
• S Bakehouse where I was to try Beforenoon Tea
• Afternoon tea is a pleasant indulgence
• The concept is both simple and luxurious
• The afternoon is not the only time of day you might be hungry or in need of tea
• S Bakehouse in Leith is already an institution for lovers of good baking
• Or chopped and fried with potatoes and onions
• Want something with a little body to it
• Compote and granola was my first step into the dainty side of Beforenoon Tea
• Coconut y granola over tangy yogurt with a lovely fresh blueberry compote
• It also felt virtuous and was a superior version of the breakfast I have every morning
• Sandwiched together with dulce de leche
• The two met happily in a moist muffin that was topped with a glistening smear of hazelnut spread
• An extremely well glazed cinnamon swirl disappeared down my gullet with the last of my tea
• S a few times but this was a purposeful visit to try the before noon tea (like afternoon tea but with more breakfast items)
• I was really looking forward to this as I already know they do a mean French toast for breakfast and their cakes are out of this world
• The food comes on a cake stand and diners are offered a selection of teas
• The bacon has great flavour and it was an excellent start
• We then moved onto their award winning cheese scones with a cream cheese and chive spread
• The scones were of the mini variety and again we had two each
• The cheese flavour was delicious and moreish
• The spread was nice and light
• There was a nice mix of seeds within the granola and the fruit was sweet without being sickly
• Our penultimate item was a mini pancake stack dusted generously with icing sugar
• This seemed a little dry and might have worked better with a compote type filling to moisten the stack rather than the sticky dulce de leche filling
• The mini toffee muffin was a good bite sized treat to finish off with and disappeared in a couple of mouthfuls
• It had a lovely depth of toffee flavour with a surprising toffee crunch on top
• Surprisingly I enjoyed the savoury items more than the sweet but this is certainly this is an experience everyone should spoil themselves with
• The cheesecake looks great with a 4.70 pound price tag
• I've also had cupcake's from here to take away and they were really good
• My favourite was a mini carrot cupcake and a mini pavlova
• A beautiful cafe with wonderful decor and very high quality food
• The service was a bit slow but this was due to the fact that the cafe was completely full so I can understand that
• It wasn't a problem as they were super busy and it sunny outside but I do suggest booking even if it is just cake and Tea
• Not too chocolatey and with just the right amount of Peanut Butter flavour 10/10
• A little bit too sweet though but the idea was good 4/10
• The classic really was the best with a lovely
• Crumbly soft sponge with melting in your mouth buttercream and a tasty berry curd layer through the centre
• *The service was a little slow to begin with as you have to order the cakes from the counter by yourself but I suppose it does work
• *our only criticism was once we had finished our cakes
• Their belly busting cakes and traybakes are absolutely legendary
• My favourite is the red velvet cupcakes they are amazing
• You'd probably be better off with some tea instead
• Always been a fan of their afternoon tea offering but this is in a league of it's own
• Can't decide what my fav was but I was left unable to speak
• My boyfriend and I went in for tea and a cake in the afternoon and I was surprised at how big the cafe is inside
• The banana and Nutella is a fantastic combination and the Mars bar crispy was a huge square with bits of Mars bar on top
• Along with the cakes the service was a highlight of our time at Mimi's
• Our server was cheerful and bright and very engaging with us
• The veggie gourmet breakfast is also quite nice
• We went for the beforenoon tea which is only available Saturday's and Sunday's 9am until 12pm
• The bake house was extremely busy so I was ever so glad we booked and it was the last Sunday of the Edinburgh festival
• We had never experienced the sweet with the savoury before but very tantalising on the tastebuds
• We all enjoyed the tea and the service was excellent the staff even put a candle on a scone for my daughter
• A small yet cosy bakery where the staff are always smiling and friendly
• S since they opened in Leith and my love affair with their French Toast began and I doubt it will ever wane
• Had been to Mimi's bakehouse and its was and fantastic place to hangout ooh soo sweet Mimi's french toast stack ek dum swadisht ek delicious
