Mints & Honey Burlingame

Cold waffles and no coffee for ages (waffles well and truly cold by then) - despite the place being half empty and no one ahead of me in line. A pretty place but terrible service. I wish I could take my tip back.

Waffle and drinks were both tasty, but overpriced and has a long line

It was not my first time at Mints & Honey. I was here for brunch to meet up with my gf. One of the reason I picked this place was because it allows u to sit as long as u want. No one will be asking u to leave.
Food was just alright, not a typically american breakfast. More of waffles, fruits and salads. No surprises.
I gave only 1 star on the service cuz there is no service at all. Only service was they bring u the food u ordered and basically that’s it. Everything is self serve. Water, Togo boxes, even utensils was all self serve.
Street meter parking as only 2 hours parking, if u plan to walk around after u eat here , make sure u feed the meter before u walk around. I do see enforcements car driving around the street checking meters constantly.

Food was way overpriced. Sandwiches had 1 or 2 slices of meat at most. Food came out pretty quick, but probably because it doesn't take very long to put 1 slice of ham in between 2 slices of bread...Not worth it. Service was fine. Employees were friendly at least. Do NOT recommend.

We’ve been to this breakfast joint several times as there a location near to where we lived. It’s always crowded and there’ll be a wait if we’re not there early enough, even with all the seating. Order at the counter and food gets delivered to the table. There’s a good reason why - the food is inventive and totally instagrammable. Also happens to taste delicious. We’ve had tried all the different types of toast (my fav is the curry chicken - if in doubt go for the sampler), the sandwiches and drinks. Love the presentation.

This is a special place. Food is tasty and fresh (with the exception of the salad dressing, which is oddly subpar). We love the tea tower. It’s fancy and fun. Somehow I can’t get out of here for less than $90 for two people. Adds up really fast, especially for a place without full wait service. Due to cost, we have cut back, but we really do enjoy it here.

We ate indoors where it is uncomfortably loud. The food was delicious. The coffee was delicious. There wasn't a great deal of service but it was just fine.

Walk up to the counter, put in your order, grab an available table (maybe outside) and they will bring your order to you. The waffles are especially good. The toasts are also decent. We tried a couple of teas. The caramelized pear was better than coconut creme. The scones are very good. It was a little bit crowded inside and the noise level is high. It might be improved by some fabric against the walls.

I came for a weekday lunch. Got the prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula with fig jam and Dijon mustard sandwich, chose ciabatta bread and loved it. It came with a nice green salad (mixed greens, grape tomatoes and shredded carrots with an Italian dressing on the side) it was well worth the visit. I came with my 1.5 year old and the place was child friendly. I did not see the bathrooms so cannot comment if it has a changing table. Next time I'd like to try their espresso lattes and matcha lattes. I am not sure I would attempt this with small children on a weekend though, since my toddler would dislike waiting in long lines.

Kid-friendliness: People come here to socialise so it's completely fine to have chattery young children. I came with my 1.5 year old in a pram.

Worst service. Waited for almost an hour for a sandwich. Apparently they messed up the orders that morning, and were not doing anything about it.
We have to act as if we were really mad about it to get a server to actually help us.
Before that, they just repeatedly told us to wait for a little longer…
