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.
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.
I would like to come back to try their waffles, and maybe high tea if I remember to order ahead of time.

Came here on a Wednesday about noon, very casual atmosphere great for a quick bite. I had a delicious mango matcha latte and a fig prosciutto toast, both were amazing. We sat outside where you can either choose shady or sunny tables depending on where the sun is at that time, but there’s also plenty of indoor seating. Recommend!

Cute breakfast and brunch cafeteria located in San Carlos. They have a large and innovative selection of toasts and waffles. We stopped by for a weekend brunch and my children loved the Churro Waffles and the Rainbow Waffles that they ordered. Relaxed ambience, lots of customers but somehow not pound or noisy. Will certainly come back again !

So nice place for breakfast We love fresh juicy and juicy was perfect!!! Very healthy food and tasty at the same time! A wide choice in the menu and affordable prices. Tasty coffee, but not very tasty matcha… I really liked that there are experiments and combine the flavors of fruit and yogurt with traditional dishes! We will come back here for sure!

Yum! Walk order. Fresh ingredients. Not crowded on a Saturday morning.

We decided to check out this spot on a Monday afternoon when more traditional breakfast places were already closing. It more than fit the bill! First off, the food was excellent. A good variety of menu options with all quality fresh ingredients. I often hesitate when it comes to breakfast toasts because I’ve gotten too many flavorless generic offerings. Not so here! I had the tomato+mozzarella toast. It comes on lovely thick batard bread (don’t know what that means but it’s tasty) with tomato, mozzarella balls, avocado and basil. For extra flavor they added salt and pepper and vinaigrette. My wife had the avocado and egg toast with the same kind of bread, soft-boiled eggs, chili, and paprika. She said it was very tasty. We also split an order of mini beignets with chocolate sauce. They were soft and doughy and they were not drenched in confectioners sugar, which was a point in their favor. The chocolate sauce was a nice addition, although the beignets were good all by themselves.
Next, the place offers counter service, and they deliver to the table. The attendant was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn’t have decaf drip coffee. The wait was just a few minutes. My Americano was fine. Good coffee flavor and not too week. My wife enjoyed her decaf latte also.
We sat on the back patio to soak up the sunshine. It was a nice setting and dog friendly. There was also ample seating inside at the front counter area, in the middle and also one table inside before opening into the patio. A very nice experience all around

A hidden gem! The waffle platters ate the best of everything. You get sweet & savory all in one plate. There is a small area of outdoor seating and plenary of indoor seating as well. Street parking only, but it’s free.

Food is really good, service is quick and the atmosphere is immaculate. I got the yogurt and peach waffles and the strawberry green iced tea. The waffles were delicious and the peaches fresh, the ice tea was perfectly sweet and yummy

The vibes of this cafe are so adorable, and all of the food is delicious. The inside is so cute, with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu is amazing, with many flavors of avocado toast and waffles. My personal favorite is the mango tajin avocado toast. Their drink menu is also phenomenal, with so many flavors of matcha, coffee, and teas. The staff is so kind and helpful, food comes quickly, and ordering is a breeze! A bit pricey, but so worth it.
