Cafe Bakery Mimosa - Tampere

Do not miss this place. very nice staff and good food baked. updated by previous review on 2020-06-22

I used to love pirogues as a kid, but since I became vegan 7 years ago I haven’t found good vegan options of the meat kind, until now! Def recommend this place.

I took the combo lunch (salad soup). I have to say I was a bit disappointed about the taste and the quality. The salad was very boring, just lettuce with cucumber and tomato and vöner or cheese. I expected a bit more variable salad and also home made dressings. The soup was ok but left space for better seasoning. Because the place is naming herself a bakery, I expected fresh, home made bread. But no. Overall I would say the lunch was something you can make yourself in fifteen minutes and offered no big feeling nor taste memories. For 10€ you get much better lunch somewhere else.

I went there sometimes for brunch or coffee, now tried the breakfast for the first time. Liked it, recommend for hungry ones. Not for fresh/light food lovers (this may not be the optimal place for those anyway, but an excellent choice for lovers of sweet things, more fatty things, a bit more traditional Finnish pulla"eaters, but vegan). Porridge, fresh rolls and croissants, vegan cheese some veggies, tasty spread, good coffee, muesli. It's all vegan now! Apparently changed since the first reviews here.

There are many vegan options, but if you happen to get there outside of the lunch time, you just need to be happy with whatever is left and it will likely be a sandwich from the counter. Wish I tried it during lunch time.
