Mimi's Bakehouse - Leith

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.

Our original bakehouse on the Shore is the heart of our business! Since opening its doors in 2010, our flagship café has been a buzzing catch-up spot loved by locals and tourists alike! Serving all-day brunch dishes, award-winning afternoon tea and a vast range of speciality drinks and cake, there’s something for everyone!

We take bookings for our indoor tables and have limited space for walk-ins. We do not take bookings for our outdoor seating area. We currently are not dog friendly indoors, however, dogs are more than welcome at our outdoor tables.
