There is a reason why this place has such a highly rated reviews. This place has unique flavors and they all taste amazing. I tried pistachio, Thai iced tea, Matcha and salted caramel. All the flavors were absolutely delicious. This is easily my favorite ice cream places in the US. Next in line I would say is manning farm dairy ice cream in PA.

My boyfriend and I visited this ice cream place for the first time tonight. We had just gotten off a flight and after we picked up food, we decided to stop past this establishment. The owner was amazing, he allowed us to sample different ice cream flavors before deciding what we wanted to get. I tried the Cookie Monster cookie dough and was immediately sold, I’ve never had anything like it! My boyfriend enjoyed his ice cream as well. We will definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to others!

Fantastic handmade ice cream! I especially enjoy all the vegan and dairy free options. The lychee sorbet and plant based coffee, brownie cutie cake are by far my favorites!

Mimi’s Ice Cream is my favorite ice cream parlor in the area. Every visit feels like a special treat. They offer an incredible variety of flavors, and even the classics come with a unique twist. Best of all, their ice cream is perfectly balanced—rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. This week, I had the pleasure of meeting Rollin, the talented person behind so much of the joy this shop brings us. He kindly made a special batch of bastani sonnati for my husband’s birthday—an exquisite blend of pistachio, rose water, and saffron. It was delicious. Thank you, Rollin, for making my husband’s birthday so memorable. We truly appreciate the care and craftsmanship you put into every scoop!

Mimi’s has a great selection of classics and creative flavors. I went in to try the Beet, which was sadly sold out for the day. The Thai Tea had a lovely flavor: they clearly use real tea as I could see specks of tea leaves. The texture is creamy with a slight stretch. The ice cream is a bit too sweet for my liking, and I would have preferred a less saccharine version with more depth from the tea.
