I visited for the first time on a Saturday. It wasn't very busy and the owner seemed nice enough and chatted a little with my husband and I. I ordered the veggie platter to go and was told that they didn't make rice or potatoes on Saturday so he would give me an extra falafel and extra cabbage chickpea salad instead to make up for it. A little disappointed but that was fine. What I didn't necessarily like was that he bagged a slice of apple cake and put it with my order and then asked me if I wanted it and that he would give me the special price of $1 for the slice. I had read other reviews that he usually gave his first time customers (and he knew we were) a free slice. Don't get me wrong I didn't ask for it nor was I expecting to get anything for free but I think it's a bit presumptuous to bag something and put it with a customers order and then tell them "hey I can give you a great price for this". In any case it was a bit awkward and I did pay for the slice. Also, the whole time we were there he was pushing us to buy his last loaf of banana bread which I didn't like.
The actual food itself was okay. The hummus which he makes from scratch is pretty good. The apple cake was just okay. Yes, it was moist but I've had better. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Anyway, I was a bit surprised at my experience at Mystic Muffin as there are so many rave reviews. Maybe I just caught him on an off day. Either way, I probably won't be back.
