Mints & Honey

Mints & Honey represents the broader culture of Burlingame, and how it feels to be a person of color existing in this space. Pretentious. That is the only word I can describe this place as. While aesthetically pleasing, Mints&Honey has no warmth. The rules the restaurant holds regarding a "no screen" policy on weekends, and the extra charge for any item that's brought in from outside of the cafe. I felt very uncomfortable here and left immediately. If you are affluent and have time to kill and money to spend, you'll love it here. If you are a working student, just know that this place is not welcoming to folks like us. If you only care about aesthetics, enjoy spending $7 for a latte then this might be up your alley. As Andre 3000 once said, "Roses really smell like boo boo boo boo."

Cute place. Lattes a bit overpriced for the size of it (small cup)
Avocado toast was a bit better when I was there couple years ago.
A lot of waisted space where they could place tables. Had to cramp very close to other people. Wish they had a power outlets for little work on laptop.
Beautiful decor. Friendly stuff

My organization has ordered catering from here twice now. Both times the food has been extremely fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with care. Would highly recommend for your event needs!

Great little place with great food and beverages! It's pricey admittedly but still recommend checking it out for the sandwiches and the avocado toast (do get the egg)! It's a smaller location with seating outside, but do prepare for it to be crowded with lines of people

Tried the waffle sampler and toast sampler along with lavender latte. The price is on the higher side and I guess you pay for the ambiance and presentation of food. Taste was very average. Smoked salmon toast was pretty good.

Cozy eatery with items for breakfast and an extensive drink menu with boba teas, matcha and coffee drinks. Tiny outside seating area facing the rear alley for days with nice weather, and a bigger sit-down area inside facing the street. Crowded in the mornings.

I really enjoy the food here. I have been a number of times and have always enjoyed it. It makes a great lunch or brunch. It is very well priced with high quality ingredients. It’s has a variety of snacks drinks and meals. I highly recommend.

Our family ordered the food at San Carlos store. The whole management team and system is a disaster. The order system missed many customers orders including ours. Our two kids, 4 yr and 2 yr, have to wait for almost I hr to get food. All kids missed their lunch time and had terrible experience. No apologies from the management team. Totally no respect to many customers. The people seats near us are all angry and complaining about the service. Many tables got missed orders and food. Totally chaos. We have came the store many times before, but will never come again!

Good luck!

Vanilla latte was good. Hazelnut was mehh. Food has a good presentation. Recommend ordering ahead so you can skip the line for pickup. There will be a line during the weekend. The primary entrance is in the back alley. Front entrance is the dining area, but ordering is in the back, so enter from the alley. There are a few outside dining tables available. Street parking is what you'll find nearby.

This is a most delightful place that really mirrors the quintessential cafe culture. The toasts, crepes... food, so beautifully presented and with such fine flavors. And then the coffee... rarely do good food places pay as much attention to great coffee. Highly recommend.
