Mim's Cafe

I am so disappointed in myself that I have not written a review yet for here.. but here I go. We happened upon this place out of desperation.. we had eaten somewhere else that was an absolute dumpster fire and so I thought.. I want some fresh Mediterranean food! Googled some near me and this place popped up. Got there.. did not really know what to think because it is kind a college-y type of cafe place that also has food but hey, we were there and committed. Let's start with the staff / cooks / order taker / waiter / waitresses.. WHY ARE THEY ALL SO SO SO NICE! Every SINGLE TIME! They were so sweet, accommodating and just excited that we were there, we felt like a part of the family. We order a bunch of kabobs (just meat) and 1 kefta kabob platter and the hummus.. which omg.. the hummus.. i don't want hummus from anywhere else, I tell ya! We always order the chicken kabobs, beef kabobs, and lamb kabobs and of course the kefta kabob platter.. the same order every single time because it never ever misses. Amazing every time. We have been there at least a dozen times and every single time treated like royalty. We love coming here. I adore it here. And will always love it here! The meat is juicy, fresh, cooked to perfection, almost melts in your mouth every single time. The pita is good and the hummus is just TO DIE FOR!! Also, need to mention they have an amazing lil cafe where you can essentially order anything you would want in terms of coffees or teas. Just a win!

We stopped here on our way to the State Fair. I needed my coffee for the walk and my daughter needed a mango italian soda. the service was supper nice. the food smelled excellent. I definitely want to go back and try the food and baked items. I will be going back.

From the outside, Mim's is easy to overlook, but the welcoming service and delicious food absolutely speaks for its self. The restaurant is family owned and feels like home when you enter. The waiters, cooks, and owners greeted us with a smile, and the food was served within 5-10 minutes. The food, which is a mix of both Mediterranean and American classics, was delicious. I shared the veggie combo (rice, baba ghanouj, salad, falafel, veggies, and pita) and a veggie burrito. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options that are both healthy and tasty. Although I enjoy Mim's for dinner, this is a great casual lunch spot for college students and professors! Highly recommend stopping by!

I consider myself a foodie and oh my gosh this place was a 10/10. The food was incredible. We got a little bit of everything and it was just perfect. From the owners to the outside patio .. you HAVE to go!!!

A coworker at the U recommended this spot, and I absolutely loved it! The perfect lunch spot if you're looking for delicious food, and something different than what the fast casual places have to offer. A quaint, small business tucked into what seemed to be a mostly residential area. You can tell it's run by a family and the service was incredibly friendly, answered my questions about the menu, and prepared the food quickly!I ended up getting the beef burrito: a yummy combination of shawarma beef, rice, hummus, onions, and green peppers. A hearty serving that left me satisfied for the whole afternoon, although it was a bit messy to eat in my car :)This will be my go-to lunch spot when I'm in the area! I'm excited to try out other items on the menu.

Great spot for Mediterranean food at a good price- perfect for college students!I went once during college, but never ventured back because most of my classes were on the Minneapolis campus of UMN but recently went back for dinner with a friend, and I wished I had gone more often! I got a lamb and beef shawarma platter with rice and hummus, and the small plate was perfect size for dinner. You get some pita bread with your plate and the flavors were great. Service was also friendly, and there's indoor and outdoor seating available. Only street parking is available since you are on campus (the St Paul Student Center is basically across the street), but it wasn't too hard to find parking on a Monday night.

Located by the St. Paul campus of the U of M, the worst thing about this place is looking for parking nearby. Just make sure you pay attention to posted signs! We stopped by for dinner and we were so full! I had a lunch for the next day. You do get a lot of food for the price! My husband went with a kabob sandwich and really enjoyed it. Meat was tender. I went with the beef shawarma plate. Even though it was a small; there was so much food! My husband and I could probably spilt a large plate if we're not too hungry. Of course with the complete understanding that I will be eating most of the warm pita bread. We are definitely going to keep place this in mind, especially when it warms up!

Best food ever!!! Love this place so much, it is a staple. The staff is really friendly and always makes sure you're taken care of. Mim's Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! The vibes are super cozy, and the perfect spot to hang out with friends or even study after class, please check this place out- highly recommend the beef kebab or chicken shawarma sandwhich! absolutely love the baklava too!!

Amazing falafels and golden rice. Their hummus is really good! The fries could be better but still solid! Their garlic sauce is super!

I've had the food here before and it's delicious; ordered a coffee today for the first time and was DELICIOUS. the service is great, employees are so friendly, and there's plenty of seating which is great for studying. So happy the location is close to my class building
