Cafe Mimosa

About the Business

Specialties

Traditional French Bistro located in the heart of beautiful San Clemente. Come enjoy brunch or lunch 7 days a week on our spacious patio, or just relax with one of our many flavors of mimosas and enjoy the view. Small groups preferred. ( We only sit 35 so large party's triple the wait time) No dogs on the patio please.

History

Established in 2007.

The name comes from the Mimosa plant. Following our family from France, the French Province has the very floral tree, the mimosa, which was the base for perfume. As we were planting our roots in San Clemente we fell upon an Ole Hanson home. While in the back yard during a walk through, my mother picked up a familiar fragrance, it was a mimosa bush surrounding the back fence...we had to have it. As we thought about what we would name our second restaurant location, Cafe Mimosa was obviously perfect. It encompassed our family roots from France, the beauty and floral elegance of the plant and what would be our signature breakfast/brunch beverage..the Mimosa!
