I finally got a chance to check out Mystic Muffin yesterday for the first time, and like most- I was impressed. I got the full Elias treatment which was wonderful- he made sure to ask my name, where I worked, and told me about the restaurant, including pictures on the walls and child cooking classes.
I picked up a hummus to go, and it was very, very good. The free first-timer apple cake is everything you've heard and then some- moist and amazing.
What a great place that lives up to the hype- good food and lovely people.
