Albacore Tuna Melt Toast, Egg Salad Toast, Avocado Toast
Alice N.

First time at the San Carlos location! We came on a Friday morning around 10:15an on a holiday and it wasn't too busy, though it started to get busier as the morning went on. We all ordered different toasts and they were all good! I got the tuna albacore melt toast and enjoyed it. For something sweet, we shared the strawberry waffle, which surprisingly tasted better than it looked. I also tried the iced vanilla bean iced latte and liked that as well. Overall, I'd come back! It seems like a good spot to catch up with friends.

Kid Waffle with Strawberry and Banana rated 5 star by 7 year old

5 star kids menu as rated by my 7 year old. Cold brew and grilled cheese with tomato soup good too. Loud inside due to music, has outdoor seating

Scone - Plain, Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup, Prosciutto & Mozzarella Sandwich, Rose Milk Tea, Matcha Jasmine Lattejasmine
Neha N.

I wanted some semblance of an afternoon tea spread for my Bridgerton marathon and Mints & Honey came in clutch! I did not dine-in but picked up to go. I felt the scone price was too high but it was perfect. A good crunch on the outside with fall apart softness on the inside. Perfect texture and flavor. The house cream and strawberry jam paired perfectly. Can't have afternoon tea without a good scone! I'm still drooling thinking about the grilled cheese & tomato soup. Havarti cheese was delicious and i love the basil added to the soup. Prosciutto sandwich was good but I only got a bite while my partner inhaled it haha. Drinks were great too. Loved that the rose milk tea came with petals. Everything was packaged well and I will definitely be returning.

Sakura Matcha Cream Latte (ICED ONLY) Matcha Latte

We went here for breakfast. The place has a nice, cute vibe to it. The menu items are innovative, but the taste was alright. They got very busy and it took some time to get our food.

Menu as of 12/27/25

My friend had planned the whole day planned for us. It was high tea at Mints & Honey in the morning and then half a day at Filoli Gardens. But I guess something changed since the last time she dined here. The menu, which isn't available on their website, stated afternoon tea was pre-order only. Turns out reservations have to be made at least 2 days in advance if you want afternoon tea. This includes tea for 1. So that was disappointing to hear. It would be nice if that was stated on their website. So I sorta made my own high tea. I ordered the chicken curry toast, a blueberry scone and added creme and jam for an extra cost, and a cup of Earl Grey tea. Tea for 1 is $29, and my meal with tax and tip was $33. It was pretty good! The chicken curry was bright and savory. I liked the pop of sweetness from the grapes. The toast was thick with a crispy crust and chewy interior. It was hard to cut with a butter knife, so I removed the curry so I can bite into the bread and get the chicken afterwards. And it was a good amount of chicken as it was piled pretty high on the toast. The scone was good as well. It's more wide than tall, but buttery soft with a nice freshness from the blueberries. And it was still warm even after taking my time eating the toast. Since I had to pay extra for the creme and jam, I used as much as I could lol. And it wasn't overly sweet. The Earl Grey was good, too. The menu said it was award winning. I'm not a tea connoisseur, but it was a delicious tea that I would get again. I like that we can seat ourselves and that ordering happens with the cashier. That is so helpful when you're in a group so everyone can pay individually. There's seating inside and out, though it was cold so I'm glad we got to sit inside. There are booths and smaller tables, so parties of any size can fit. Service was quick and friendly. We got our food pretty fast, though my scone did take awhile. Which I'm thankful for because, as I said, it was still warm after I finished my toast. The playlist was interesting and eclectic. I heard TikTok favs to indie rock to 90s pop. I would like to come back to try their waffles, and maybe high tea if I remember to order ahead of time.

Rose + Strawberry Waffle
Sophia B.

Came here for brunch on a late Friday morning and the place was popping! Very cute decor, aesthetic cafe vibes with some vintage inspiration (like that Smeg fridge on the barista side). It's clearly a popular brunch spot for good reason. There was no wait to walk to the registers in the back to order and choose a table. Our iced salted caramel lattes came out in 10-15 minutes, and the rose + strawberries waffle came out another 15-20 minutes later. The wait didn't feel bad because we were able to sit and relax with our coffees. The iced salted caramel lattes were VERY good. All the caramel at the bottom needed to be mixed in to the coffee, but I loved that it had great flavor and wasn't a sugar bomb. I could drink three of these! As for the rose and strawberry waffle--my goodness it was so delicious. The waffle itself was nothing to write home about, but the combination of rose jam, fresh strawberries, organic yogurt, lemon zest and crushed pistachios was pure perfection. I didn't need to use the syrup at all. I would 1000% order this again. This cafe is super cute and has so many yummy menu options, it's a worthy contender for best breakfast/brunch spot in the area!

Toast Sampler
Ellen L.

i came here years ago and remembered really enjoying the experience, especially that it felt like a really girly place to hang out. fast forward to april 2026, i chose this venue for brunch with my girlfriend and we had a great couple of hours catching up over yummy girly comfort food. you order at the counter, they give you a number then bring your food out to your table. the guy who helped me out was very helpful esp since i had many questions about the menu items and ingredients. my friend ordered the berries & yogurt waffle topped with beautifully coloured berries and a mound of yogurt. i should've taken a pic of her dish before she devoured it! i ordered the sampler toast with avocado toast, mango tajin, tomato mozzarella and creamy mushroom & egg. honestly, all of the options sounded divine but i had to limit myself to 4! i took my time savouring all these savoury scrumptious toasts, the perfectly ripe avocado, fresh balls of mozzarella, soft boiled egg, and flavourful mushrooms. i ended with the mango so that i could have something little sweet to end my meal. we absolutely enjoyed our saturday morning here and if you're reading this get on over to mints & honey and have yourself a nice morning!

Seasonal latte - I forgot which one
Lindsay C.

The cutest brunch spot! I recommend parking near the back because this is where you order your food/drinks before you sit down. The line can get long and extend out past the outdoor seating area. They're known for making good coffee, and they use Verve. As you can tell by my photos, I've been here many times and always have a good experience. My favorite food-wise has to be the avocado and egg toast. The sour batard bread has the perfect chew, and I love the soft boiled egg on top. The food is always plated beautifully. This place can get pretty crowded, so they ask that you don't bring laptops on weekends and holidays.

Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich
Kevin F.

The food was good when we went and so was the seasonal drink that contained crystal boba. The smoked salmon with salad was good but not sure if it was me but the salmon reminded me of a trader Joes smoked salmon which is also good. The grilled cheese with the tomato soup was better though if you want something light but filling. The tomato soup had a good amount of flavor. Service was quick and easy to make an order. The restaurant was cute and definitely a good place for a light eats or brunch. Reminds me of a cafe where you can eat food while at the same time do some work with low music in the background.

Great place with good food! The service was also good, and I really like the atmosphere. My only issue is that the music was way too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation or get any work done, on top of the normal background noise from people talking. I really like this place, but I'm not sure I would recommended to work because of the noise level.

Seasonal Matcha Rose Latte
Holly H.

I love the ascetics of Mints and Honey! Great food with unique toast and waffle options! The service has always been great with considerate staff. The ambiance is always lively and fun with a mix of business professionals and family and friend outings!

Toast sampler with 1. Avocado and egg 2. Fig and ricotta 3. Creamy mushroom and egg 4. Smoke salmon
Stephanie L.

Cute cafe that gets quite busy. Came here for lunch on a Thursday and the place was packed. There are both indoor and outdoor seating and you can enter from either the El Camino or back entrance. I tried the toast sampler with four different toppings; favorite two were 1. the salmon and 2. the fig and ricotta. Avocado and egg was good (like that the hard boiled eggs are cooked just right, and not overdone) as well but I typically prefer my avocado not mashed up. I really didn't enjoy the creamy mushroom much and would skip this next time. Coffee options were good. My friend got the rose latte and I got the vanilla bean latte. Service is friendly and efficient.

Latte
Carine B.

Came back and this time sat inside. It's a great spot, but I quickly remembered why mostly avoid Mints and Honey - the indoor spotlights. Outdoor seating is nice, but if you're a table inside, it's a little hit or miss if you'll get a spotlight shining in your face. I never understood why they have the spotlights, given all the natural lighting from the windows. Other than that, it's a great little café spot with a decent menu. It's cute and spacious, drink and food come out quickly, and all the staff is very friendly.

For my drink, I got two shots of espresso. I just needed a quick pick me up! For food, my friend got the chicken tortilla soup. It was absolutely delicious. The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE! Not to mention the cafe is very chic, we sat at a table where we could maximize our sunlight exposure. The servers and cashiers were nice, welcoming, and helpful. So glad we came here!

We wanted papusas and Comalito came up with spectacular reviews and was open (at time of writing,…read morethey open Fri-Sun)! Food and service were great. Food ordered: Yucca fries on the house! 1. Plantano Fritas (4/5) I love a plantains and these were delicious and less oily than other which I appreciate! Personal preference is a I prefer a little more sweetly caramelized plantains, but I did really enjoy this. The dish comes with a white creamy sauce and a refried bean dip - both yummy and not overpowering in flavor. Papusas: Lots of flavors to choose from! And in general, for all the papusas, the papusa batter is wonderful and the porportion of filling to papusa is perfect. 2a. Calabaza Papusa - mixed cheese + zuchinni (4/5) This was the most cheesey papusa, where the cheese was the heavy lifter. I enjoyed it and every bite had a nice cheese pull too it. I would have liked to see a little more zucchini green, and for it to add to the textures. 2b. Frijol y Queso Papusa - mixed cheese + refried beans (5/5) My favorite! Can't go wrong with a bean and cheese papusa and this was so so good. I recommend this classic pairing of flavors anywhere. I was thinking about this papusa for days. 2c. Chicken Papusa - mixed cheese + chicken (5/5) This was also really good. the chicken is mixed in with the cheese, so every bite has both, which was nice. There was also a lovely seasoning which balanced all the flavors beautifully. 3. Churros: This usually comes with vanilla ice cream, and the server warned us they didn't have any in stock. We were fine with that because we love churros. When we were complete with our papusas, they served us our churros and surprised with apple slices instead of ice cream which was a lovely touch. Parking: There is no designated parking lot that we have found, but the public 2 hour parking lot 2 blocks over on Second Ave! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Comalito. The hardest hurdle is parking, but once you find the public parking lot a couple of blocks over, it was easy to find and gives you a little exercise before you eat! Papusas were all delicious and there is a plenty of seating room. Keep in mind they are open Friday-Sunday only at time of writing.

The spot is full of character and a good amount of seating. The customer service is great. Everyone was so kind. We each ordered 3 pupusas of bean & cheese w/ curtido and some casamiento to share. I also got a side order of carne asada. All the food was good. Everything was full of flavor. The carne asada was tender. The pupusas had the perfect mix beans and cheese, with the masa being light and fluffy. The casamiento with a great mix of rice and beans. The only negative was the curtido. It was ok. Somewhat soggy and not very crisp. Also, lacked any flavor. It's a small thing, but otherwise the dinner was 5 stars.
