" I’ve been a regular at Cafe Mystique for over a year now, and I must say, it never disappoints! The owner and staff genuinely care about their customers, always eager to recommend the week’s special. My personal favorite is their lemon chicken pasta—it's simply irresistible! A hidden gem in the Castro that everyone should try at least once. Just be sure to make a reservation; it's popular for a reason! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Cafe Mystique last weekend. The environment was bustling yet cozy, making it ideal for an intimate gathering. The Mediterranean flatbread was a great appetizer, though the main course, a chicken dish, could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was attentive overall, and I appreciated how they accommodated my gluten-free request. I’ll give it another chance because the atmosphere is really welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a beautiful hidden gem in the Castro! We visited on a Sunday morning for brunch, and immediately felt welcomed. The decor evokes warmth and hospitality. The eggs covert were cooked to perfection, and their mimosas were the best. Service was prompt and friendly, making this a memorable visit. Can’t recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a feast! So rich and deliciously perfect. I had the calamari, followed by a mouthwatering lemon risotto. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in the last few years! The ambiance added to the charm, making it a cozy evening. I’ll be bringing my family for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ceramic plates and lovely aesthetics welcome you at Cafe Mystique. The service is excellent; you feel like family here. I indulged in their pasta salad, which is perfect for a light meal. The only downside is they sometimes run out of the dessert options by the time you finish your main course! Worth noting, though, as the entire meal is enjoyable and comforting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Cafe Mystique. While the ambiance was cozy and the menu looked fantastic, my dish didn't live up to the delicious expectations. I ordered the shrimp risotto, which was good, but I felt it was slightly bland. The service was prompt, but I believe they could be more attentive to our needs. It's a good spot, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" These guys are truly onto something with their vibrant menu. I sampled several dishes, starting with the calamari, moving to the lemon risotto, and ended with a flourish on an amazing dessert. Each dish reflected care and creativity! Sure, the pricing is on the higher side, but in this case, you get what you pay for—excellent quality and portions! Highly recommend the setting here, as it complements the wonderful dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
