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.

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

Totally excellent experience when stopped in. Enjoyed Thierry's explaining all Chez Mireille offers and how the waffles are made. I enjoyed the apple cinnamon one. It was light with just enough crispiness and the apple cinnamon made it over the top. Definitely recommend Chez Mireille!!!!!

True Belgian waffles, and the coffee is exquisite. The waffles can't be compared to the pancake waffles your accustomed to, these are a true culinary treat.

The owner was one of the single kindest people I've had the joy of meeting and interacting with, and the waffles didn't disappoint in any way at all. They're delicious and there was a wide variety of flavors acailable to choose from. The owner was kind enough to give me and my friend information about how they're made and where he's from. He also was generous enough to let us try a chocolate spread he sells that was fantastic, and i absolutely reccomend. Please come here if you ever get the chance, as I can just about guarantee that you're gonna be happy about your choice. :)
