Mimi's Speciality Coffee occupies a shopfront on Main Street in Royal Hillsborough, close to the gates of Hillsborough Castle. The café pours coffee from Ariosa, a Belfast-based roaster, alongside a food menu built around seasonal produce and changed through the year. Its logo uses a Lily of the Valley, a reference to the flower's place in the Hillsborough Castle gardens and its association with the late Queen. Inside, the room extends further back than the narrow shopfront suggests, with seating spread across several linked spaces. The café opens seven days a week, Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4.30pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, serving breakfast and lunch dishes alongside cakes and desserts. It holds a rating of 4.3 from customers on Tripadvisor, where it ranks among the top coffee spots in the village. The business operates independently of similarly named cafés trading elsewhere in the UK under separate ownership.
