Been a regular here for years. The toast sampler is my go to order, since you get a taste of the different types of toasts (savory and sweet options). The prosciutto and fig jam toast stands out to me because the saltiness of the prosciutto is balanced with the sweetness of the fig jam. The cafe uses ACME Sour Bâtard for their toasts, so quality of the bread is superb. The matcha rose latte was really good, I asked for less sweet, which I prefer, and the drink wasn't bitter because of the adjustment. The waffle sampler was a sweet treat to share. The strawberry ricotta was my favorite, the fruit was perfectly ripe and a touch of honey for some natural sweetness for the waffle. The ambience is super cute and great for IG pictures. Service is great - the servers and cashiers are nice. read more

Cute little place to hang out with friends. The price point skews on the higher side ($8 for a fig jam toast, $17 - $18 for a mushroom sandwich, $7.50 for a drink). The down side is that they close pretty early. read more

Mints & Honey - MH House Salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Pretty nice, it was really busy but the line moved pretty fast. Service was amazing, food came out quickly. One of my issues, might be personal preference. I didn't really like the chocolate sauce on the churro waffle. The waffle in general was amazing. Just the sauce. Very appealing in visuals and if your around, you should try it. read more

I don't think there could be a more me place than Mints & Honey! For not loving bread, I LOVE toast. Weird, I know. The ordering process is super easy and the food and drinks come out quickly! I got the mushroom and ricotta toast. It was perfection! The creaminess of the ricotta, the umami from the mushroom, the bitterness of the arugula, and the perfectly jammy eggs! Just absolute heaven!!! The latte was also so yummy and comforting! I can't wait to try more! Absolutely the perfect place for a nice, light meal! read more

I've been to the San Carlos location before and the Burlingame location is equally as amazing! There's a decent amount of seating inside the restaurant and additional seating outside to enjoy a nice day. When you arrive you line up to order at the counter and they give you a number for your order. I got the MH chopped salad which is probably one of my favorite salads ever. The ingredients are mixed greens, baby arugula, avocado, tomato, strawberry, orange, carrot, cucumber, red onion, hummus, toasted walnut, balsamic vinaigrette, and a side of bread. The hummus gives an additional flavor that really complements the salad. The bowl doesn't seem too big but it actually fills you up so I end up eating only half the bowl and taking the rest home as leftovers. It's a really good salad if you want something healthy and refreshing. I also highly recommend their sampler plates to try multiple items and all of the toasts are delicious. 11/10 recommend!! read more

Found this great spot on yelp for a girl's hangout! It's such a cute shop, a great spot for photos, or some peace to yourself. The staff is really welcoming and outgoing, which made ordering really efficient. We ordered the applewood smoked salmon with avocado, churro waffle, and the banana and cream waffle. I didn't try the applewood smoked salmon, but the churro waffle was BOMB. Perfect amount of cinnamon taste! It came with a side of melted chocolate, which tied everything together. It's not too sugary, but will definitely leave you feeling heavy. One note: the actual churro on top of the whipped cream was stale. Bit on it thinking it would be soft. Ouch! The banana and cream waffle I tried too! The waffle base tasted a lot like the churro one, but it is definitely a better choice if you're looking for a more simpler dish. It came with a side of syrup, and an adequate amount of sliced bananas. The atmosphere is chill but can be loud at times. It's such a great hangout place! Will be back! read more

Mints & Honey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

I've been here a few times and each time the restaurant has been completely packed. I've always enjoyed what I've gotten here! I've tried quite a few of their matcha lattes and the best one is the rose matcha latte which has just the right amount of sweetness and rose flavor. The sakura matcha latte was too sweet and peachy for me. The jasmine matcha latte is nice too. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is okay and I think the toast is better. I prefer the savory toast options (probably avocado + egg toast is my favorite.) The tomato and mozzarella as well as egg salad are also very good! read more

Exceptional service, ample seating, delicious seasonal green tea, and love the interior decor. I plan to come more often for their seasonal items.

I stopped in on a beautiful Saturday morning and they were very busy. You order at a counter and sit anywhere. The place is beautifully decorated and a nice vibe. I didn't eat anything but the food looked delicious and fresh. I will definitely stop by for brunch another day. I got an iced banana bread latte to go, but staff were very friendly. Wow, the latte was amazing!! I was worried I it may be too sweet, but it was perfectly creamy and flavorful. The added touch of some banana bread sprinkled on top was chefs kiss! Really read more

Heavenly place for single young professionals and no kids to hang out with their friends. As soon as you walk in you feel the energy from the youth. Maybe it's the young hip workers who look like they came out of a lifestyle magazine. The decor and ambiance feels Californian European. Light and airy with unique touches like the gorgeous terrazzo counter tops. I ordered only a coffee and quiche so cannot comment on their other foods. There was a long wait on a Saturday, probably 15 minutes. The Vanilla Bean Latte with Oat milk was meh. Doesn't beat the leading player at La Boulangerie SF. The quiche, I had higher hopes, so it's also just, meh. The vibes were great and workers were friendly. I would come back to try their other foods. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning, it was SUPER packed Thankfully there are a lot of tables and we managed to score a spot inside. The furniture is super cute and makes you want to spend time hanging out in here. I got the avocado toast and a fancy latte. I enjoyed it but found it to be a little pricey for what it was [this review was made in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

We came here on a Saturday around noon and there was a long line to order, but we were able to find a table pretty quickly. The crowd was a mix, with many younger groups dressed up for cute afternoon tea photo ops, which made the vibe feel fun and lively! We ordered mostly from the savory toast section, and everything was beautifully plated and delicious. The prosciutto fig jam toast was such a hit that even the kids loved it. We ended up ordering a second one. We also spotted some huge, colorful salads at nearby tables. I'm usually not a salad person, but they definitely looked tempting for my next visit! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Burlingame! The staff members are all very friendly, coffee is always consistent (on the sweeter side) and I always enjoy my time here when I am working remotely. It tends to get loud during the busy hours but I don't mind it! I like the rose latte, hazelnut latte, and have enjoyed all the speciality lattes that I've tried so far read more

I ordered catering for an event, and was very impressed with the quality and presentation of the dishes. The guests loved the veggie quiches and the toasts. Staff were very responsive to my questions via email and my order was ready at pickup time. I would not hesitate ordering from Mints and Honey again! read more

Lovely, light-filled brunch place on the corner with outdoor seating. They are super efficient. You order at the counter and grab a table and put your number on it. Dishes come out fairly quickly. Even though the place seemed packed, the tables turned pretty quickly. They have mimosas and sweet or savory orders. We had the traditional waffle order as well as the smoked salmon platter with waffles. Nothing was left on any of the plates. Yum! read more

Food: everything there is delicious, some items are super basic but it just tastes so good! Their sampler toast (you can choose up to 2-4 types of toast to try), veggie quiche, their tomato soup, their lattes, all yum! I did order the bagel board and it didn't have cream cheese, which is strange but had the egg salad instead? Service: I have been to this place 3 times now, and each time has been good service. No complains. Ambiance: such a happening place! Tip: go there early to grab a spot, usually sooo packed. Or go after 12pm where the crowd cools down a bit. read more

Mints and Honey is a crowded brunch spot on the weekends in downtown Burlingame. You order and pay at the register, grab your number and find a table for yourself. There's also a self service water station. Since we had a larger party of 7, one of the employees helped me pull a table over so we could sit together. They have plenty of staff on hand, which is great! Their menu is one of the most extensive versions around, with so many combinations since they offer samplers for their toasts and waffles. Since it was our first time, it took us a good while to decide what to get. The samplers are really meant for one person, but they can add up as each one is an added cost to the original starting price. Their platters look amazing as well. And they also have Afternoon Tea options! And then you can't miss their Seasonal specials too - food and drink items! And of course, there's also a long list of beverages to choose from. It's just a lot! We got: * Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup $13.95 - Both my nieces got this and let's just say there wasn't anything left on either of their dishes. * Toast Sampler $16: Rose & Strawberry (+$0.75), Prosciutto & Fig Jam (+$2.75), Creamy Mushroom & Egg (+$2.75), Smoked Salmon on Cream Cheese (+$3.75) $16 - The Little Gal got this and it looked amazing!! Presentation alone was top notch! And I do like the flavor combinations they offered. She ate three of the four, which left the Husband with just one half of a toast. This was a winner! * Avocado Toast $9.95 - My sister got this and it was just avocado toast, nothing really special about it. * Prosciutto Melt on Sourdough $16.95 - The Little Guy got this sandwich and he ate it all up. And he didn't really share any of it. This came with a mix greens salad. * Mushroom Melt on Sourdough $15.95 - My sandwich was the last to arrive. Apparently, one of their ovens wasn't working so there was a delay with the sandwiches. I liked mine, but would have preferred if my bread was toasted a bit more. There was over a 15 minute gap from when the first item came to the last, hence my nieces were pretty much done eating by the time my food came. This also came with a mix green salad. * Banana Bread Matcha Latte $8 - My sister got this based on the recommendation of the worker and she thought it was pretty good. * Hibiscus Mints Lemonade $5.95 - The Little Gal enjoyed this and I found it quite enjoyable too. With so many staff working, we did have quite a few people come by and check to make sure we got all of our items. This is how I eventually found out what was happening with the ovens. Overall, Mints and Honey has some great offerings! Their food items look fresh and inviting and so many combinations to choose from! I'm actually a big fan of their toast offerings and would have love to try some of them. All the veggies look lively and fresh, and they do use a lot of arugula there. Even the side of mixed green salad was a nice portion with tomatoes and carrots. I would definitely return. 4.5 stars read more

Came here on a holiday for a quick brekkie and all the seats were full! Quick tip if you're with bigger group, have one person order for the entire group while the others look for seating. You do have to place your order at the register, they give you a number and you find your own seat. Food came out pretty fast which was nice. I assume they get busy pretty often but I see why. Such a cute little brunch spot with food that looks and taste good. I ordered two different toasts (egg with arugula toast and tomato/mozzarella with toast) and have to say that the egg was my favorite and most memorable. More flavor if I'm being honest. The price point was fair given how much they actually put on your toast! read more

Such a dainty and adorable spot in Burlingame. The decor and atmosphere make it perfect for a baby shower, bridal shower, Sweet 16, or any intimate celebration. My sister is even considering hosting my niece's graduation party here. We ordered the toast sampler, which lets you pick 4 different selections from both the savory and sweet options. We chose the strawberry ricotta, tomato mozzarella, tuna salad, and smoked salmon cream cheese. It also came with a side salad. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and it was such a fun way to try different flavors. We also ordered the prosciutto with ricotta toast, and honestly, the two dishes were more than enough food for the three of us. Overall, such a charming little café with a lovely ambiance and great sharing plates. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a cute brunch or tea spot. The price is a tad high, given this place is an order at the counter fill your own water type of place. read more

Came here many times and just have to say it's an efficient and pleasant visit each time. It's airy, clean, and asthetically pleasing! You first get the order and then find a table (it does get very busy especially on the weekend but I have not waited super long ever as the turnaround is quick). I have tried a lot of their waffles and sandwiches and I love their proschiutto ricotta with fig jam and avocado ones the best! Their drinks are amazing and I can't rave about their matcha! read more

Solid brunch spot in Burlingame! How it works: You order your food at the register (they have menus up front that you can look at while you're waiting), they give you a table number, you find a place to sit at and they bring the food/drinks to you. The food was good, filling and aesthetically pleasing for pictures. We got the Peach Prosciutto Toast (on the seasonal menu ) and the Prosciutto + Ricotta Waffle Platter. We also got a Vanilla Latte and a Lychee Jasmine Lemonade, but the lemonade was a bit tooo sour. Would come back again to try the other dishes they have! read more

I'm not from San Francisco but I would definitely go back to this place. This restaurant is a very nice place with modern decoration that catches your eyes. (A tip: there is an often a line to order, so if it's your first time, it is good to look at the menu first) you order at the counter and then take a table. They let us take a table first to look at the menu, which was very nice. I chose the peach prosciutto toast (I think it is only on the menu for a short time) and I added a tomato soup. I also had a delicious coffee. The toast with ricotta, prosciutto, and peaches was very tasty. I went with a group of friends and we all liked the nice atmosphere and friendly service. One dish took a little longer, but everything else was great. Overall, a very good experience I would do again. read more

Absolutely love this place! I've been a handful of times and it can get really busy on the weekends or specifically for breakfast/brunch but I've always been able to find a seat and food comes out pretty quickly 15-20 minutes tops. The interior is super cute too! There is plenty of street parking and there is a public parking garage right down the block as well. Everything tastes fresh and there are a lot of items to choose from and mix & match making dishes easy to share or if you wanted to try a little bit of everything which is me all the time! I would highly recommend to stop by if you're in the area. read more

Mints & Honey - Toast Sampler Fig Jam + Ricotta Nutella Berries Avocado + Egg Applewood Smoked Salmon Toast w/ cream cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Perfect place for brunch, lunch or a mid-day snack! I went here with family and love the outdoor seating since we had a dog with us. You order and pay up front and they'll bring your order out to you. For drinks we ordered a matcha latte with oat milk, caffeine-free iced passionfruit butterfly tea, and a mocha latte. I wanted to order a variety of items so I went for the Toast Sampler where I could order four sweet and savory toasts. I chose the strawberry & ricotta, prosciutto & fig jam, avocado & egg, and chicken curry. The strawberry & ricotta was light and tasty like a dessert. The avocado with a soft boiled egg was nicely done and as expected. The prosciutto & fig jam was my favorite of the four; the salt & the sweet blended beautifully into perfect small bites that kept me wanting more. The curry chicken was my least favorite; I felt it was a little bland for curry and needed some more seasoning. Other dishes we ordered were the kids grilled cheese which included assorted fruit and lucky charms marshmallows, creamy mushroom $ egg toast, and the applewood smoked salmon bagel platter. The smoked salmon was superb. I would definitely order that again but substitute the bagel with a waffle. Great vibes at the corner of Howard & Lorton Ave. Service was fantastic, food and the drinks hit the spot, and they have two restrooms with the sinks right outside for easy access to hand-washing. Love Mints & Honey! read more

Cute little high tea experience! We ordered Classic Afternoon Tea tower for two which comes with our choice of 4 slices of savory toast/ waffle samplers, 2 scones with jam and crème, and 2 pairs of three petite desserts. The pricing was decent for the high tea experience but I wished the set came with tea for the price. The toasts were a decent portion and were tasty. The desserts were your usual afternoon tea desserts. Overall, a cute experience and I like that you don't have to call ahead of time to arrange for the afternoon tea tower, at least for the Burlingame location! I believe you need to call ahead for the San Carlos location as they have limited supply. Staff was attentive and the establishment itself was very clean and spacious. read more

They kept telling me to try this place out because it's meant to show off on the gram. Well I don't have an IG, nor do I have the intention of showing off. I was just looking for a spot with good coffee and some good breakfast for my family and I. Presentation was wild. They really made our orders look nice for the gram. Great if you decide to take a pic and show off. I'm really here to see if this spot is worth the hype. I would say, you're paying extra for presentation, but the food is actually really good. I was surprised at how good the tuna melt was. Was expecting a normal sandwich, but there was something in that tuna that gave it the extra kick. The scone was super fresh. My kids had a blast eating the waffles. Oh yeah, the coffee is actually good. read more

Place was crowded with brunch- goers, but the line moved fast & it was quick to get some seats as they provided a lot of seatings indoor & outdoor.

Word of advice to the owner: Put the menu's near the door. Upon entering you walk up to the cashier, grab a menu and place your order. The cashier seemed to be a little impatient and a line started to form behind us because we really weren't sure if we should grab the menus and go sit down and then come back and order or grab the menus and go sit down and someone would wait on us hence my advice for putting the menus near the front door so when you do get up to the cashier, you already know what you're ordering and there will not be a line forming behind you . There was no one to walk us through the protocol for the tea service. Which to mention is not a tea service because there are no pots of tea served (The whole reason why we came here). They do offer a three tier plate. You choose from sweet or savory items for your tiered service: meaning waffles with banana, bananas, and whipped cream or strawberries and fruity Pebbles with whipped cream, which is what we ordered along with the ricotta Berry waffles. I will admit the whipped cream was delicious. The berries were fresh, and the waffles were to die for. The middle plate consisted of two cold biscuits with jarred jam and whipped cream. Nothing spectacular here and a bit disappointing (No warm scones) top plate contained desert: one mini red velvet cupcake, two macaroons, a little chocolate cookie treat and two mini plastic desert cups with I believe Greek yogurt with a strawberry sauce. Again nothing spectacular. We sat at the tables outside. which I normally don't do because that part of Burlingame gets very, very busy with Vehicle traffic and I prefer not to have car fumes with my meal but my friend (whose birthday it was) wanted to have an outside table. The staff seems friendly enough but again there's so many places to eat at in Burlingame, particularly in that area. I would maybe come back here for an avocado toast and coffee, but certainly not for the $71.00 tea service. read more

The house salad (front plate) came with generous portions - good and fair for the price we paid. The egg salad (rear plate) also comes with a sandwich cut in half and a handful of salad, and it's one of the best price per portion items on the menu (highly recommend). Food was great Service was fast, even on a busy day. We've gone a handful of times and waiting times were always short; no missed items or incorrect orders either. It can be noisy inside on weekends due to business, but seating is never an issue. Seats are comfortable and clean, spacious enough for parties of 2 or 4-6. read more

If I could give zero I would. I waited for about 15 minutes in line. This was my first time here and was looking forward to it. I came specifically to do a working session to catch up on work. But apparently laptops are not allowed on the weekends... at a cafe. I don't go to cafes to sit and drink coffee. I go to put my headphones on and work. They wouldn't even let me sit outside in a sunny spot where it was not crowded. No laptop inside? Okay. But outside? Your guests do not care what other tables are doing as long as they do not cause a ruckus. I will not be back. I will not be giving them my money. And I will let all my professional friends know to avoid this establishment if they are seeking to stay on the grind. Note for owner - put your "rules" posted outside. Your line is too long and was a waste of my time. You can have a cafe without being pretentious. read more
