Mimi’s Cafe in Lakewood Serves Gluten Free!

Breakfast is one of my favorite times to eat out but I have not had a lot of good luck finding a gluten free breakfast restaurant.

Then, my friend Shari Sanders, a so cal youth volleyball coach, told me about Mimi’s Cafe in Lakewood. She said she was sure that they would be able to accommodate me since she has taken several of her volleyball players to dine there and one of them has gluten intolerance.

Turns out that Mimi’s Cafe has a list of allergens but you do have to ask for it as a list of allergens and not a ‘gluten free’ menu. Not everyone there was attuned to the gluten issue so be sure to ask to speak to the head chef. In my case, the head chef came directly to my table and we went over the ingredients of my omelette before ordering. I really appreciated the attention I received on a busy Sunday morning.

I had no reaction and now, Mimi’s Cafe is on my list of places to eat in Long Beach, CA!
