Mimo Bake Studio, a Brazilian-inspired bakery, has opened a storefront in Rancho Cordova this week, bringing pão de queijo, tapioca crepes and Amazon-style açaí bowls to Mather Field Road. The shop is the brick-and-mortar sequel to two Bay Area moms hustling through pop-up dates and farmers markets, and their efforts just landed them a feature on Good Day Sacramento, where the resident foodie sampled the menu on air.
According to Mimo Bake Studio, the brand was started by Mirella and Monique, "MI" and "MO," and named after the Portuguese word for a thoughtful gift. The Rancho Cordova storefront grew out of a string of regional pop-ups and farmers-market appearances, with the founders framing Mimo as a project rooted in family recipes and a shared desire to bring Brazilian flavors into local neighborhoods.
What to try
The menu sticks close to Brazilian bakery comfort food: Pão de Queijo (cheese bread), empadas and coxinha, plus tapioca flatbread sandwiches, Bolo de Rolo and vivid açaí bowls. Visit Rancho Cordova calls out the pão de queijo and empadas as staff favorites, while online listings show Pão de Queijo and coxinha available for delivery and pickup on DoorDash. With both savory and sweet options, the lineup works for a quick snack run or a fuller, brunch-style spread.
Where to find it
The storefront is located at 3581 Mather Field Road, Ste A in Rancho Cordova, and the shop also sells packaged Bolo de Rolo and other house items online. According to the bakery's site, Mimo Bake Studio still sets up at the Sacramento Midtown Farmers Market on Saturdays and offers online ordering for local pickup. Customers can check current hours and place orders through the bakery's online ordering link.
The TV spotlight did its job. As Good Day Sacramento put it, "Two moms have teamed up to bring the flavors of Brazil to Rancho Cordova." The show's resident foodie worked through several items in the segment and praised the range of choices, sending curious viewers to track the place down in person.
Mimo's arrival adds one more multicultural stop to Rancho Cordova's small but growing lineup of specialty cafés and bakeries. Whether you are there for the cheese bread or the Bolo de Rolo, the new storefront gives locals a straightforward way to try Brazilian bakery staples without making the drive to the Bay Area.
