Lovely place. Nice and clean. Excellent food. Good atmosphere. Lovely staff. The only down side is the toilet is in a wee cabin at the side. But it's warm and clean and tidy. Highly recommend booking as it can get very busy. There's limited seating indoors. But plenty out door seating. Don't worry. There's space heaters so you don't get cold.

Mimi's Bakehouse - Corstorphine

Edinburgh

About the restaurant

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.

Mimi bakehouse in Corstorphine is my local go to place. I love love their quality of food. Their service is amazing. It never disappoints and I always have a great time. I have been on maternity leave this past year and have done many solo trips to Mimi bakehouse and have always enjoyed it. Just today we availed the January deal and it was an amazing experience.

The staff were very welcoming and attentive making our anniversary meal one to remember. The service for food and drinks was perfect meaning we didn’t have to wait for anything we needed. We’ve been here a few times and always enjoy the experience and definitely will be back.

About the restaurant

At Coro we believe chocolate should be a fun and sharing experience. We don’t claim to be master chocolatiers, in fact its quite the opposite. Our aim is to give customers their chocolate fix but not just from your standard bar of chocolate. We pour our Belgian chocolate over freshly made pancakes, into our buttery crepes and drizzled over our fluffy waffles. If thats not enough we’ll give you a fondue to dunk some fresh fruit, cake or sweets into melted chocolate with a hot chocolate like no other to wash it all down.
