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.We serve brunch, afternoon tea, coffee and cake.

Regular Visitor to Tapa, Table was in the back of the restaurant, 50% Thursday Club it's always friendly service, amazing food and great atmosphere. If you prefer to have a low to moderate noise level like I do go for 1700/1730. After 1830/1900 the restaurant is in full swing and amazing however too noisy and overwhelming for me. Nothing against the restaurant I'm just autistic.
