MIMIFASO: Café in Southeast-Asia-style villas

With a huge swimming pool in the center, plenty of tropical plants and Southeast-Asia-style villas in the surrounding, the illusion may be generated that you are taking vacation on Bali.

However, it is just a café.

Located in the downtown of Xiamen, the store, named MIMIFASO, is one of the most popular cafes in the city, attracting countless locals and tourists to spend their high-tea time here. It is hard to be recognized as a café at the first sight, due to its unique construction and decoration. From the outside, it looks like a Southeast-Asian villa, with wooden construction and decoration of plants. Within the construction, its outdoor area is dominated by a swimming pool, which is bordered with the tropical plants under careful cultivation. Customers can enjoy the delicate dessert after a cool swim.

For the indoor area, its modern style, like the black decorations and tables made of marble, is popular with many young people. Many people hardly stop to take photos once they arrive.

Generally speaking, if a café focuses too much on its decoration and environment, the taste of the meal won’t be too surprising. Nevertheless, MIMIFASO is an exception. The desserts insides not only look delicate, but also taste amazing. Shaped like various animals and fruits, those delicate cakes make you doubt whether they are real and edible cakes. What’s more, the taste of them never disappoints us as well. With the fresh fruits and chocolates inside the cakes, and the harmonious balance of sweetness and sourness, each bite is an enjoyment.

When it comes to the beverage in the café, it also surprises customers. While the fresh ingredient is used, the taste and style is still excellent. For instance, the latte available inside is served separately with milk and espresso. Especially, the espresso is frozen into squares of ice. Customers can add the ice of espresso into the fresh milk provided to make their own lattes.

Besides the amazing meal, the service of MIMIFASO is also enjoyable. I doubt that the owner purposely selects and hires the staffs with outstanding appearance to attract customers. All the staffs you can find in the café are pretty young girls and handsome young boys, with warm smile and passion. It is hard for me to imagine who can resist and refuse the delicate dessert served by good-looking staffs.
