i went here because i needed a quick lunch, and mystic muffin did not disappoint.
first, the problems: it's a little disorganized, not clear where you line up and the choices are kind of overwhelming. the people seated at the tables didn't look like the happiest bunch. i was a bit skeptical prior to ordering.
but, if you just get into line, order today's combo (or simply talk to the very nice man doing the food) you will not be disappointed. just listening to the amusing banter between the people behind the counter, and the regular customers, is amusing.
i had the combo, which is a mishmash of stuff. the falafel was excellent, as was the hummus. the salad and pasta salad were great too. the lentils were pretty boring, and i'm not sure what their definition of spicy is, but it was not spicy at all.
when i got to the counter to pay, they asked if i had ever been before, and i told them i was new to town. they served me a wonderful slice of apple cake for free, which my pregnant sister scarfed down as if there was no tomorrow. she was very impressed.
i like this place. i could see going again to, for example, try the magic muffins.
