Bites Nearby: Mimi's Gourmet Cafe

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Yorktown Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.

Here's this week's choice:

Located in the Underhill Shopping Center on Commerce Street, Mimi's Gourmet Cafe offers something apart from the standard quick lunch options. Mimi's Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes include taboule and hummus, as well as a selection of salads and rices all priced by the pound.

A variety of lamb ot beef kabobs and speciality sandwiches are also on the menu. For dessert, Mimi's sells homemade crepes. Plus, nothing on the menu is priced over $10!

While everything offered is available for take-out, Mimi's has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with comfortable seating for those who prefer to take their time and enjoy their meal.
