On a sunny East Sacramento morning, you may notice a cheerful crowd gathered at the corner of J and 57th Street. Inside the historic former Shakey’s Pizza building lies The Mimosa House, a homey brunch destination where bubbles flow and conversation bubbles higher. But this is more than just your run‑of‑the‑mill breakfast stop, it’s the heart of a family‑run empire that’s reshaping brunch culture across the Sacramento region.
The Mimosa House opened its doors in August 2016, marking its East Sacramento debut with a lively weekend brunch crowd and a promise of more to come. What started as a single location has since ballooned into a local chain spanning nine sites, including Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Gold River, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, and the soon‑to‑open Curtis Park and Folsom Riley branches.
At the helm of this bubbly venture is the Dedier family, whose story reads like a great brunch anecdote. Louis Dedier, once a dishwasher, was coaxed into investing in a restaurant after years of Sunday outings with his kids. That impulse birthed a menu extensive enough to fuel weekly visits without ever repeating a dish, and it’s only grown since. Want hundred mimosa flavors? They’re there. Want a weekly special named after a regular? Done. The approach is simple: build for love, keep it local, and invite the community to the table.
One of the crown jewels of this brand is its “house of bubbles.” The Mimosa House bills itself as California’s largest purveyor of domestic and imported sparkling wines and Champagnes, offering over 100 flavor combinations, alongside community‑style pitcher service and table‑side sparklers. Whether you’re partial to peach bellinis or tropical pineapple blends, the menu’s playful inventiveness screams celebration—and it works: there’s often a line out the door, even on weekdays.
Perhaps that curious contrast is part of the charm: a family‑driven restaurant growing at regional speed, each location managing its own character. What ties it all together is the Dediers’ commitment to celebration, hospitality, and community outreach. They host fundraisers, partner with local institutions, and cultivate an atmosphere of familiarity with each toast, special menu item, or sparkling event.
In a city with deep brunch roots, Mimosa House stands out not for sleek design or upscale flair but for wholehearted exuberance. Its legacy might be as simple as folks raising their glasses together, weekend after weekend. The sprawling menu, the rotating specials, the sparkling wall of bubbles, all encourage a milestone‑style brunch: casual, bright, and full of life.
Florida may be the Sunshine State, but Sacramento’s sun rises firmly over the bubbling orange skies in every Mimosa House glass. In a community‑anchored chain that continues to expand thoughtfully across the region, the Dediers remind us: life is worth celebrating, and breakfast is the perfect time to start.
