Weekly Spotlight: Mimi’s Plate in Tappan, NY

Updated: Dec 23, 2024



Nestled in the heart of Tappan, Mimi’s Plate isn’t just a café. It’s an experience, a hug for your taste buds, and a charming little corner of comfort. This cozy spot, with its ever-changing menu and homemade delights, is where you’ll find yourself saying, “Just one more bite!” over and over again. Trust us, we speak from experience.

 

A Sweet Detour

The other day, while driving and chatting on the phone with a friend, I caught a glimpse of Mimi’s Plate’s sign out of the corner of my eye. My brakes might have squeaked a little, but it was a safe stop (promise!). Without hesitation, I ended my call, pulled over, and stepped inside and what a welcome it was! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a display of cookies and pastries that could make anyone forget their errands. But the real magic? The warm, smiling faces behind the counter who are just as sweet as the treats.



 

Homemade Goodness in Every Bite

Mimi’s Plate changes its menu weekly, keeping things fresh, exciting, and full of surprises. (You can find their weekly menu at their social media accounts) Whether it’s soups that feel like a cozy blanket on a chilly day, hearty entrees, vibrant salads, or dreamy desserts, everything is made with love and attention to detail. At this time, their pastries were the stars at our kitchen counter (or, more accurately, a blink-and-it’s-gone situation). Everything was amazingly delicious but don’t get me started on their peppermint muffin with marshmallow: Pure holiday magic in a bite! Sonny, ever the dessert critic, gave an enthusiastic two thumbs up for their almond apricot bread pudding, and that’s saying something.

 

Conversations with Passion

While there, I couldn’t resist asking about some of the dessert ingredients, and the response was nothing short of inspiring. The staff’s passion for what they create is infectious. They answered every question with patience, excitement, and a genuine love for their craft. It’s these moments of connection that make Mimi’s Plate feel like more than just a cafe, it’s a community.



 All-Day Breakfast? Yes, Please!

Did I mention they serve breakfast all day on Saturdays? Yes, you read that right. Their Saturday breakfast features delicious pancakes that we’ve already penciled in for our next visit. Whether you’re craving breakfast at noon or need a mid-morning pick-me-up, Mimi’s Plate has you covered.

 

The Cozy and the Clean

The café itself is a peaceful escape, with its quaint and welcoming atmosphere. And if you’re the type who likes to peek into the kitchen, you’re in for a treat. It’s spotless, reinforcing that everything here is crafted with care and cleanliness.
