Wondering if Mimi’s Cafe offers a gluten-free menu? We recently got a new Mimi’s Cafe in my area and being that they are a national chain, I decided to look into the possibility of gluten-free offerings.

As of the date of this post, it doesn’t appear that Mimi’s Cafe has released an official gluten-free menu on their website, however after contacting the company I was directed to the following gluten-free menu information which should be good at any Mimi’s Cafe location. Of course, once this information is available on their official website I will update this post!

As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.

I asked to talk to a manager, and he showed me a special gluten-free menu they had behind the counter. He explained how since they just started it the previous day they were still pretty new to it. I suggested that they keep the gluten-free menu in front so people could see it, and he replied that they only had 4 so they would wait until someone asked to look at them. I went ahead and ordered a roasted turkey and cheddar sandwich with a side of potato salad for myself and a tuna salad sandwich with hummus and chips for my husband, both on gluten-free bread.

Thank you for being the biggest, and most important, part of what keeps our dreams alive!
As always, you need to be aware of the risk of cross-contamination whenever eating somewhere where gluten foods are prepared. My usual practice when going somewhere where I watch them put together my food is to let them know I am gluten-free, or sometimes I will just say I have a wheat allergy because not everyone is aware of what gluten is. I then ask if they can replace their gloves and about 95% of them are already happily starting to do this before I finish my sentence. Since it seems people tend to grab the cheese with their hands, I will sometimes ask if they can grab cheese out of a new container. Qdoba and Chipotle keep new cheese containers right under the work area, so they can easily grab some for you and not hold up the line.
