Very friendly staff. All the flavors are listed and easy to read. They have fantastic unique flavors. If you like durian their durian ice cream is so delicious; savory and sweet. I highly recommend the Bastani Sonnati. The combination of rose water and saffron was lovely. The pistachios added nice texture. The lemon poppy is my go to but try all their fun flavors.

A good late night spot for ice cream! I was genuinely surprised by their flavor selection! Along with the classics, they also had lots of asian-inspired flavors, like Ube, Hojicha, Kalamansi, Japanese Melon, Lychee, etc, and they’re actually good, not artificial tasting. Like the Ube ice cream has actual ube chunks in it!
The guy that helped us recommended their coffee oreo, which we endee up getting, and IT WAS YUMMY! Coffee flavor wasn’t too overpowering and worked well with the oreo!

It was and ice cream day and my son didn’t want any of the regular places. This jewel had so many exotic flavors it was difficult to decide which I wanted more. However, we enjoyed every bite and will be back again very soon. Customer service was also the biggest plus, even with a crowd they made sure everyone and everything was happy and taken care of.

If you have a sweet tooth, you need to visit Mimi’s! They have a fantastic balance of unique and classic flavors. We tried the Super Oreo, Hojicha, Thai Tea, Mango Sorbet, and Lemon Poppy, and all were so good! On top of the treats, Mimi herself is so kind and provides top-tier customer service. Definitely come out and support this amazing small business!

This ice cream shop finally opened, and let me tell you, you should run not walk to visit! The ice cream flavors are really balanced and represent the best of Asian and European influences.
We ordered a flight which included five flavors – mint Oreo, lychee sorbet, pistachio, ube, blueberry. Really amazing flavors that were not too too sweet or overdone! All of the ice cream is freshly made everyday!
The interior of the store is very clean and brightly lit. There is a unisex bathroom available for customers as well.
The employees are so friendly and take time to explain the history and the different flavors. They gave us samples to try and were so great in helping us pick the most popular flavors.

Yuzu ice cream!! Couldn’t believe it! I randomly asked if there was such a thing and she exclaimed that she had some! An entire untouched tub! Delicious! What a synchronicity moment for me as I have been trying yuzu products after a recent trip to Japan. So fun for both of us! Going back for a few pints today!

Fresh, smooth & unique ice cream – you can totally tell it’s homemade. We ordered a seasonal special, the Bastani Sonnati, a Persian saffron ice cream, and it tasted just like the traditional spots (maybe even better). It’s amazing seeing all different flavors from different countries and cultures being served. The owner was super sweet & we cannot wait to return to Mimi’s!

Ive been waiting for this place to open in the Mosaic District and the wait is over!! I got a mixed scoop of pralines and honey ice cream & the cinnamon crunch. The ice cream was extremely creamy and amazing. I cannot wait to go back and try more flavors. I loved both flavors but I will say the cinnamon crunch perfectly captured the flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch serial which immediately brings me back to lazy Sundays in my PJs watching cartoons as a kid. The service was friendly and fast. The inside was clean and inviting. I love how colorful the inside is and the fact that you can take a pint home to savor the ice cream later! This place is going to give the gelato place down the street a run for their money!

I absolutely LOVE their ice cream. I’ve been here several times. However, today I bought a milkshake- I paid almost $13 for it. They ran out of the milkshake cups and gave me such a small one in return. I seriously paid a lot for such a small cup. A venti frape from Starbucks would have been more affordable or a shake from shake shack. Won’t be back again. My fault for thinking they would make it up to me.
