    It is hard finding places to eat because even if the restaurant is vegetarian or has vegetarian options, rarely is it clean, good food. Cafe Mint nails the combination of clean, delicious, good food.

    The Cafe is very simple, small....but nice enough to take people to and enjoy the meal.

    We had a group of 7 people and most everyone commented on how clean the falafal was, with no heavy oils, too much fried flavor. The hummus and dolmas were some of the best I have had in years and I am extremely picky about both because of food sensitivities.

    The food came out quick, was very reasonably priced and everything that was ordered was light, clean, great tasting food. I highly recommend this place.

    Was a completely overpriced meal! I had a Groupon that was refused ($20 for $40 worth of food). Ended up having a bill of $53! My daughters grilled cheese was 2 pieces of white bread barely toasted and cold fries! Yuck 1 tiny piece of baklava was $2.75!

    My main concern is this owner is pulling bait and switch with these groupons! You get a customer in there and tell them a lie that your register cannot run the Groupon or you have a meeting with Groupon to fix the problem and it is never fixed etc

    This place is absolutely amazing. Super friendly staff and as fresh ingredients you can get! They allow me small changes in my plate every time and are cool with it. We either other by Uber Eats or come in person to the restaurant and is always a great experience.

    Pita bread is majorly lacking and is not great! If they made it in-house or bought soft and fresh pita bread my review would be a 5.

    I tried, I really tried. I wanted some 4 or 5 star simple food. I only ordered a large order of hummus and a small order of falafel. I called in my order. I was soooo nice to whoever answered, said I heard their food was really good and I was excited to try it.
    Sooooo..... I pick it up. Young guy in front was very nice.
    I get home and was pretty disappointed when I saw the presentation of the falafel. I wouldn't even serve someone a dish that looks like that. Of course I did take a bite. They didn't come w a bite missing. The falafel was so dry it just crumbled, no flavor.  They look like they got some falafel from the freezer cooked it to death and threw it in a container.
    Bummer
    The hummus is ok. Nothing better than any store bought hummus. Bummed by this experience.
    The 3 stars is for the nice young man at the register
