Friendly staff, great healthy options, great place to try for a quick bite. vegan / gluten free options!

I want to begin by saying that I have been looking forward towards the emergence of local, and organic foods in Harrisburg. A few years ago, tossing the word "organic" in Pennsylvania may refer to molecular chemistry. I enjoy both cooking, and being cooked for, and I can tell you that the friendliness of the establishment feels like a big family cooking for you. I want to at this time deter many of the readers on this page from the negative comments. Like the great old world of many attributes such as the great establishments of science and academics like the classic Socrates, and to the wondrously green rolling hills of pasture and farm-- "Wisdom begins in wonder". Simply, this is a place of business that has just opened not three weeks ago. It has just begun. People, things, and places change and pivot upon a point, and Mellow Minded Cafe's point upon it pivots is it's love for you, and your health. Which, is a place of business I personally would support and sustain just on those two points entirely, and allow them to pivot upon the great change of time. Just in two weeks, they have added many more dishes and flavors, and it is quite exciting. Now, their portions are reasonable by my estimation, I believe that the portions and snacks which we eat everyday is simply empty fat and useless to our bodies-- but like everything our bodies are used to a certain type of training, more because we eat more not that we need it. In fact, when you eat more you need more vitamins. Why not just eat the portion you *need*, not want and have all the vitamins you want and maybe stack up on them? Secondly, their food is delicious. Everything I have tried on their menu has much flavor, and much love from the chef. They will not make a "turkey sandwhich", they will concoct a dish that will blow your mind, using flavor and ingredients that you would not otherwise immediately notice. Lastly, there is none a place like it. I see the one-star reviews as completely incomparable and completely misconstrued if I were and if I especially compare it to any other restaurant within 50 miles. Mellow Minded is not a place that will serve you the most unhealthy thing you've ever seen and makes you regret it-- there are plenty of other locales where you can do this, and I'm sure they would welcome you. If you want a little West Coast lovin' on the East Coast, this will be your spot. read more

Nice place for brunch, the interior design is great, food quality is awesome. It's the only place to have brunch in Linglestown. Highly recommended. read more

So many scrumptious vegan options! They are very flexible too with subbing out vegan bread if they have it available for their sandiwches. They always have vegan treats too so as always, I love their whoopie pies and other treats. My family even got me a vegan cake for my birthday last year from there was was delicious. I have been here so many times and tell everyone about this place. read more

I am not from the area, but was in town for work. I stopped by here for lunch. The woman working the counter, Amanda was very friendly. Even though it appeared busy, she did not rush me while I ordered and also gave me suggestions on what to order. I ended up ordering the Turkey Avocado sandwich to go. I did not have to wait long for the sandwich. The sandwich tasted fresh and was not TOO filling, but just enough. The only thing I would suggest to change is the avocado aioli sauce. I took off the bread to see if there was even any sauce on there, because it was very bland and tasted just like the avocado that was already in the sandwich so whats the sense of adding the aioli sauce. I would suggest more seasoning/garlic/lemon... something to give it flavor. I would def come back when I am in the area and maybe try the crab sandwich that Amanda suggested next time read more

I'm not sure why this place has so many good reviews. I would have given it 1 star, but gave an extra for the ambiance. We came in after the lunch rush, but it took more than 30 minutes to get two sandwiches. I had the Mellow Bellow- a portabella sandwich. It was completely flavorless. The roll was probably the best part. It came with mixed greens, which only had balsamic vinegar on them. A simple vinaigrette would have been better. read more

Prices are good, food is like a B, nice atmosphere, music a little too loud, small place, cute decor, friendly staff

We stopped here for lunch while on a road trip, based on their having vegan options. The food was excellent. The black bean burger was very flavorful and a little different from the usual style. I had the vegan BLT made with maple tempeh, a simple but delicious sandwich. Our non-vegan had the kids' mac and cheese, which was also very good and tasted like a blend of different cheeses, definitely a big step up from the average kids' mac and cheese meal. The atmosphere is great, very cozy and fun, and kid-friendly. Staff and service were terrific. read more

Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and the best healthy smoothies around. Order at the register, take a number, and they bring your food to the table. Friendly staff too! read more

I was looking for a place that was chill! This place is! It's so cute and I am Vegan so I can actually eat here! My husband is not Vegan but also enjoyed it! I even took my grandkids here. Friendly staff and good food in a very nice atmosphere! read more

FANTASTIC. We took our children here after a meet and the menu was wonderful- clean, lots of great options and everything was prepared perfectly. The staff was friendly and helpful and the space was clean and cute. Highly recommend. read more

Been wanting to stop by for a while. I got the mellow bello. It was ok. The power house my guy got was also ok. Wish I had something more to say about this place. Nice area and I like the place but don't think I'll be back for lunch. read more

Fantastic Smoothies, Sandwiches and lunch options. I really wish they provided nutritional facts though. I wanted to add the smoothie to the "MyFitnessPal" app and I wasn't able to because calories weren't listed... I went here earlier this month with my boss, I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The soup came out piping hot! It was fantastic. My boss and I split one of there whoopie pie's which was to die for. Yesterday I had the turkey club, I wasn't a fan of the cheddar cheese. But that's a personal preference because well, I don't like cheddar. I would have liked if the sandwich had a pickle on the side. Also, if the chips were homemade for a $9.00 sandwich..... The bacon was crisp and amazing. Today I had the Everything Green Detox Smoothie, it was awesome. It's not sweet, but it wasn't bitter. It was a great mix, I've had bad experiences with drinks like the "Green Machine" juices. I got the 16oz and didn't realize the 20oz was only .50 cents more. Next time I'll opt for the bigger size. read more

We love coming to Mellow Minded for a few reasons. There is outdoor seating along the road and we can bring our dog along with us to dinner. This is important if you're a family who likes to bring their dog as many places as possible. The food is always fresh, tasty, and made to order. Inside there is a neat little seating/reading, conversation room with great art and unique decor to look at. read more

Really nice space, laid back and comfortable. Diverse eclectic menu with several unique meat and non meat offerings. Had a few of the hot sandwiches and the items were great. The cafe is a bring your own bottle business with no wine or beer on premises. Staff is welcoming and friendly and provide great customer service. read more

This place is awesome. Healthy and delicious. Crab cake and pumpkin soup were awesome.

I've eaten here 3 times in the last month. Every time was perfect. I've had the fish tacos, breakfast burrito, and a salad. Consistent and service is excellent. read more

Not sure how it took me this long to hear about Mellow Minded Cafe! I was invited by a friend to go for lunch and was so pleased when I pulled up and saw the cute little town square of Linglestown. With limited parking around the back, I then had to haul my daughter's car seat all the way to the front of the restaurant, but was happy upon entering to see all of the seating that the cafe had to offer. With cute, colorful, uplifting decor, it was a joy to be here for lunch. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup- my go to, and a true test of whether or not their kitchen can nail a classic dish. Needless to say, I was impressed at the flavors of both. I can't wait to go back here to try more food! My only downside was that I had to change my daughter's diaper in the bathroom and there was no changing table so I had to put her on the floor of the bathroom, which never makes me happy. read more

Amazing, relaxing atmosphere! Healthy, savory food! Vey unique! You've never been to a place quite like this!

This is the healthiest restaurant in the region, with incredibly tasty food. From the tomato soup, to the salads, to the toasted avocado turkey sandwich and the smoothies, I simply would not know where to go as "plan B" in the region. During the Linglestown 250 celebration this small cafe took a deluge of celebrants and handled them incredibly well, it was an amazing performance for a 4 week old cafe to handle the thousands of people in town for the celebration. read more

Delicious, health-conscious, mostly plant-based goodness. Great place to do schoolwork or hang with friends. Kind people working here too.

Fresh, largely healthy food! A great benefit of this restaurant is they're consciously aware of those with gluten allergies and have gluten free items. Eat in or take out, great local joint for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. read more

If you take a moment to browse the menu online or read the big chalkboards in the restaurant, you will quickly realize what this place is about. There is absolutely no reason it should get less than 5 stars. First of all, the atmosphere is awesome. That's one of the main reasons we all go out to eat, right? Otherwise, cook it yourself at home. Next, the menu is pretty broad and can satisfy anyone. I always avoid dairy and breads, and I try to keep my animal protein to a minimum. Mellow Minded had so many options for my type of diet, as well as anyone else's. And it was very affordable. I had the baked salmon with vegetables and brown rice for $11. That would have cost $15 or much more at most other restaurants. My wife had the turkey tacos which were around $9 I think. With drinks, our bill was $26 and we both walked out of there very satisfied. Next time we will bring beer or wine. Some other reviewers criticized the portion sizes, which I think is ridiculous. I met my wife there after a long bike ride and we were both starving and could barely finished our meals. If you think about it, a lot of the prices at Mellow Minded are what you pay for appetizers at other restaurants, and you get more here. If you didn't like this place, you're probably just a complainer by nature and should take your negativity somewhere else like Wendy's or McDonald's . Staff was also very warm and patient with all my questions. read more

I want to love this place. I do really like the atmosphere. It's artsy and laid back and totally cute. I also love that we have another restaurant in the neighborhood sourcing locally and the fact that they are leaning toward healthy food. I like that they offer a brunch menu on the weekend. I think the types of food on the menu are great ideas but are poorly executed. They just fall short on flavor. Really short! :( I've had a few items That were good; the Gouda toasts, the hummus, and the thanksgiving turkey crepe, but everything else has been really disappointing. Bland is the best word to describe their food. Even a bit of salt in the cooking process would help a lot. We once asked for hot sauce and they didn't even have any. That's weird! We've been in half a dozen times now hoping to find improvement but no such luck. I'm bummed. read more

Wow. This cafe is everything I have been looking for. My dad and I arrived here for breakfast on a whim as we had been to St. Thomas Roasters before and noticed the cute cafe next door. I had heard good things. I loved the selections on the menu. Vegetarian friendly. Thank you. They even has great options for smoothies. My dad and I sat outside on their patio and had a pleasant experience. We'll be back. :) read more

This is a cute spot we stopped at for lunch on our way back to NJ. Food was fresh and healthy. Service was great. I would recommend this place as they have a variety of options and is vegan/vegetarian friendly! read more

This place is very quaint with a rustic feel. The service is quick, but not rushed. It is as if you are being served by family or friends. The food has never disappointed. Once you sit down and begin eating, the ambiance draws you in. You can easily spend hours here with the mellow music, flavorful food, and second to none company! read more

We found this place after searching for vegan friendly restaurants in the area while traveling. We had lunch and breakfast the next day and have been satisfied both times - accommodating to all dietary needs and delicious! Atmosphere is cool and funky - you will love it! read more

Love love love! Food is fresh, tasty, and has decent vegan, vegetarian, gf and paleo options. Basically, they accommodate whatever your dietary needs are. Love brunch! Highly recommend. read more

Love this place! The food, the atmosphere, the yum yum smoothies! We were lucky enough to be in town for Linglestown's 250th anniversary and had an awesome time at Mellow Minded Cafe....we must've been there 3 or 4 times in 2 days! I was able to find something that my pregnant appetite allowed AND something my 2 year old loved- a pretty difficult task! Locally grown and made fresh made everything taste that must better. Can't wait to come back to town. read more

I wanted to at least like this place but honestly I will not be back. Customer service was horrible, we felt rushed to order and the restaurant was empty. Prices r too high. Girl taking order was very unfriendly, maybe a bad day but sheesh. This is a neighborhood restaurant in Linglestown, not NYC. Food was alright but nothing special. read more

Awesome food!! Shared a grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup and pumpkin spice soup, along with apple walnut salad. Unique decorating.

Went for lunch with my friend today for the first time. The service was great. The food was good. I purchased a small mango smoothie and the quinoa and pear salad. Again, they were both good but not great. My bill came to $18 and some change which i thought was expensive just for a salad (no meat mind you) and a small smoothie. It was also very chilly inside but it was also cold outside. Unfortunately we sat at a table close to the door as nowhere else was available. It was a high top table with chairs that had no backs. It was not comfortable. I would go again though when its nicer outside and sit on the porch. read more

Very tasty and healthy menu! My wife and I had lunch here and loved our choices. The atmosphere is as tasteful as their menu. I was please and impressed with the entire package and will defiantly return. Maybe for the brunch on Sunday. read more
