Best Italian Ice place in town. The different flavor options are out of this world. From Dragon Fruit, Coconut, Pineapple, and whatever flavor combos the owner thinks of are always amazing. She even has ice cream flavors. Love that I can get a a few different flavors in my order at once. The owner and workers there are amazing. Go support this small business you won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend for a cool treat. My grandkids love it and so do I. Staff are welcoming and inviting. I appreciate that they let you sample. Letting my 5 yr old grandson compare two flavors helped him make his decision. He had the chocolate ice cream and both my granddaughter and I had the raspberry Italian Ice which was yummy. Plenty of options. It's very clean with a great vibe. Definitely worth trying.

We brought our family to try Mimi’s and it was DELICIOUS! The customer service of the staff is absolutely wonderful. When you enter, you are informed about the products that they have for sale without having to ask a lot of questions. They are knowledgeable about their products. It is tasty and delicious. You, your family, and your friends will LOVE it.

Truly a gem in central Florida, a must-try if you’re in the area. Everything is so fresh and made with great care, you can even taste little chunks of fruit in the gelato. Both locations are equally amazing! My partner and I would drive an hour just to go to Mimi’s. We’ve since moved to south FL, and miss this place every single day. My favorite dairy-free treat ever, thank you for catering to those with food sensitivities! A lifetime of being dairy-free, and I’ve never had a better sweet treat than Mimi’s. Don’t skip out on this place. Miss yall forever

An amazing hole in the wall shop! A must have for home made deliciousness. Friendly service with so many options. Great for someone with dietary restrictions as well! My two year old already can't get enough of the sour apple!
