Chez Mireille - (Near Sebring, FL)

5 /5 Jessica Priest, DNP: We love this place!!!! The waffles are amazing and so is the chocolate spread! Today we are picking up a gift basket we bought for our Thanksgiving feast/ my dad’s birthday. Looking forward to seeing what’s inside.

4 /5 dave I: 9/21/25 finally got to stop in and check it out. I was a bit later in the morning so not much left... Thats tells me everything is good here! I got a Herstal waffle and ate it dry, it was good! Nice folks here too. Ill need to stop in a few more times and earlier as well. You can order online and they will have it saved for you.

5 /5 Paula Alejandra Brittain: This was our first time to this wonderful location. The waffles are fantastic!! The hospitality there is outstanding, the owners are so friendly and make you feel at home while you are there. We will come back very soon.

5 /5 Michael Wrenn: This was one of the most welcoming environments I have ever been in, and THE best waffles I have ever had. The owners immediately came over and gave us a lovely and informative lesson about their authentic Belgian waffles, and what makes them different to the ones that Americans are used to. They did not disappoint!! The owners recommended that we put them in the toaster, but we just had to try them as soon as we got home, and even though they werent toasted we knew that they were going to be delicious, and they were! Once toasted, they are perfectly crispy on the outside while being fluffy on the inside, with flavors that linger in your mouth even after youre finished. They use these sugar cube-like things to put in and on top of the waffles, and they add a great crunch and added sweetness, absolutely delicious! During their explanation of their incredible waffles, they told us that they would begin shipping in the coming months, which is incredible because we might get to experience these phenomenal waffles without having to come back to Florida every time! If you live elsewhere but visited here before, definitely look to see if they can ship to you, I certainly will!

5 /5 Bob: We’ve been coming to Chez Mireille since they first opened, though we’re not regulars by any stretch, more like infrequent flyers. The owners are very enthusiastic and always friendly, but not in an effusive way. They seem a bit reserved and very serious when it comes to their waffles. Most times we’ve gone, we’re asked if we know about authentic Belgian waffles. The owners like to teach their customers about the various kinds, and seem slightly disappointed if we come in already knowing what we want before they can give their spiel. Understandably, this is a part of their culture, they’re proud if it and want to share it with others, but if you’ve been coming here over the years it can seem a bit like a hurdle one must pass to get to the goods (in this case, delicious waffles). Americans are weird when it comes to food, and especially so when it comes to food outside their culture. I’m sure most Americans feel Belgian waffles are those big puffy things they get at Dennys or IHOP, so when they’re introduced to the real deal, they get confused and put off by it. Americans, in general, tend to think they know better even if they’re basically luddites and culinary challenged. My brother in law wouldn’t even try the waffles at Chez Mireille because his idea of a perfect waffle comes out of a toaster. I’m sure he’s on the extreme end of the spectrum, but you get where I’m coming from. So I totally understand why the nice people at Chez Mireille wish to set the record straight. We usually get the Liège waffle, but they’re all good. And though these waffles are authentic, the experience is not. All of the waffles I’ve had in Belgium tend to be cooked to order (so they’re served warm). There are places in Belgium that pre-make their waffles and reheat them on the iron, though this practice tends to be frowned upon by avid waffle aficionados. Yet it’s understandable that Chez Mireille cooks their waffles ahead of time as they’re in Central Florida, not downtown Brussels. The owners at Chez Mireille suggest their waffles may be eaten at room temperature, which is fine, but if you have access to a toaster oven I suggest you warm them up a bit. To close, I recommend everyone go and try these delicious waffles and support this small, family owned business.
