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!

Nice outdoor space but basically in an alley with light traffic. Great on a sunny day. Great indoor space for kids. Probably the best brunch spot and cafe in San Carlos. Interesting coffee options and high quality food make up the menu.

This is a very cute spot for breakfast or lunch! We ordered the seasonal creme brulee latte which was alright, and the cherry blossom with coconut milk which was fantastic. We also had the tea tower to split between the two of us- it was the perfect amount of food for 2 people and a great way to try a lot of menu items! The ricotta and tomato toast and the chicken curry toast were standouts.

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."

Such a cute brunch/ lunch place! The sourdough with goat cheese and fig jam sparked a whole new obsession for me!

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.

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

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.

Really love the various toasts here. They're quite simple and not fancy but extremely well made for what it is. Love the avocado and salmon toast especially. Some of the more dessert-y toasts can be a little too sweet though.

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!

Portions are small but food and service are good. Matcha tea latte was a little sweet. Got the waffles and it was served with a lot of whip cream , basically the same size as the waffles. Latte was excellent but brought super late at the end of the meal. Overall good but could use some improvement in food.

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
