Mimi's Cafe

Gluten 'FRIENDLY' menu, not gluten free. If I had celiac I would NOT trust it. Staff not very knowledgeable, but they tried. Only had one laminated gluten friendly menu and 3 members of staff had to scramble to find it saying it had been lost for days. Had a binder with all allergen info printed out. Everything I looked at in the binder that was on the gf menu stated that it does have gluten (in allergen the binder), so I don't trust the info. Make sure they know to tell the kitchen, no matter what you order! Very little selection on gf menu (and far less for dairy free and other allergens). The wait staff did seem eager to help, but had no knowledge on the matter.

Gluten free menu. Food was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just met a friend here for brunch. Mimi's has a gluten free menu which of course can just be a courtesy only. However, our server, Justice, was very affirming and related personal family experience with food sensitivities which was comforting that she knew the importance of every step. The reason I would say Celiac friendly was because a manager, Joe White, came out to check on me and told me his son had been GF for 10 years and that he knew xxc was a huge problem! Although I ordered very simply as I always do, sometimes that is not enough if the kitchen is not on alert. That was 2 hours ago and feeling fine! I would go back there!

Excellent and concerned wait and kitchen staff. mimiscafe.com

I tend to get a salad when I go, but the owner is often there and will go above and beyond to get your order safe. He did say that their gluten free menu is outdated, but then he handed me a regular menu and was willing to make me just about anything gluten free that he could. He asked about a million questions the first few times I went to make sure he got it right (which I appreciate greatly)! Now I get basically the same thing every time, but we know it’ll always be safe! Note: it’s SO busy at breakfast/lunch and practically empty at dinner time.

Minis cafe offers plenty of regular options for those with gluten allergies such as meatloaf, roasted chicken, and all day breakfast. To my surprise Mimi’s Cafe does have gluten free toast for breakfast and although it’s not specified on the menu they do have gluten free French toast upon request. They also have gluten free bread for the French dip. I’m not quite sure how the French onion soup is made but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. Just the toast in the soup but the soup itself is delicious

Very disappointed after reading good reviews. We went for brunch on Sunday. I asked waitress about GF options. She did not offer a menu, she said they don’t have GF bread and so much of their menu has bread or pastries/baked goods for brunch. Not even GF pancakes. Ended up getting side item of eggs and sausage.
