Mimi's Bakehouse at the City Art Centre

Great news for lovers of cakes and art (so basically everyone) - a new Mimi's Bakehouse in the City Art Centre. just a stone's throw from Waverley Station.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Following an initial pop-up at the end of 2018, Mimi’s Bakehouse now run the café space in the City Art Centre. Given that they’re making a home in a pre-existing space, fans may notice that this venture has a slightly different feel to their three other established Edinburgh bakeries. But many similarities are still present – namely their trademark baby blue aesthetic, and the tempting displays of freshly baked treats. And the cakes Mimi’s built their reputation upon don’t disappoint; the decadent chocolate fudge cupcake comes with the welcome surprise of a liquid fudge centre to moisten the deep flavours of its sponge, and a generous swirl of soft icing. On the savoury side of things, the winter stovies are as comforting as you would hope, but with the added kick of sweet chilli sauce to keep this traditional dish interesting.
