Mim's Cafe Belmont?

After stopping at Quebrada in a vain attempt at snagging a couple of macaroons (poor us...we had to settle for their delicious florentines), I noticed the word Cafe in large letters on a small brick building a little past Il Casale heading toward Pleasant St. The sign was a little confusing, but it evidently says "Mim's Cafe". One Yelp review says it serves Lavazza, which isn't may favorite, and has free wi-fi.

Anyone tried it?

bad coffee, limited pastries - taken over by the wife of the guy who used to operate the barber shop

Thanks so much for the warning. Bummer.

Stopped in about 45 minutes before posted closing time a few weeks ago - was greeted by an overwhelming odor of cleaning fluid, wet floors, and a register that had already closed.

My son got a slice of cake to go (not made in house, but he reported it was very good).

They have a very limited menu - basically coffee and pastry/cakes. Nothing made in house.

There is really nothing to draw me back, and I have a problem with places that post hours but do not follow them. I too really hoped for a good alternative to the chains and banks that occupy belmont center, but this is not it.

Thanks for the reports, as disappointing as the news is.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. Haven't tried it yet. Would love to hear what people think. It would be so nice to have a good local business alternative to the chains that have set up shop in Belmont Center.

Exactly!
