Great food in an interesting community environment

by Rangthrower at Citysearch

The menu items for breakfast and lunch are well prepared and interesting. The bakery items are excellent. We enjoy bringing friends and out of town guests here for the food and the cool location with the lbookstore and large communal seating area. Always a good experience. I recommend it to anyone.

great brunch ...

by mk7 at Citysearch

i came to honey bear bakery with a friend for weekend brunch. she loved her omelette and my pumpkin waffle was killer. i came back with my mom and grandmother, but we were too late for weekend brunch. having interacted with a total of three cashiers, i can say that two were really great and one was ridiculously snobby. two out of three isn't bad, but there's room for improvement.

Ran out of chances

by Michele Thurmond at Citysearch

I will never patronize this establishment again. I ordered an egg dish and my friend ordered oatmeal. I watched my dish sit on the shelf for almost 5 minutes. My pager went off as I was approaching to see what the problem was, and when I went to the counter, the staff person told me they were out of oatmeal. When I asked them for my $ back, they "credited" the gift card I used. I checked the balance at another establishment and the $ wasn't returned. They argued, but finally gave me cash. Next visit, I got the wrong omelette and my friend's dressing ordered on the side didn't come that way...it was mixed in and drenched the greens. This happened to her one more time before she decided to not go there again. On my last (and final) visit, I nervously watched the long-haired cook prepare my meal and lost my appetite while checking my food for hair. I also agree with another review, that staff people are aloof and seem bothered to have to wait on people.

MAGNIFICENT Mochas make up for lack of customer service

by nellebert at Citysearch

I will travel from Everett for a mocha from Honey Bear (oh, and a piece of cake or a cupcake)! We can't find a slice of chocolate cake anywhere that's better and the mochas are divine! All the best ingredients. The reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5 is that I always feel "guilty" when ordering my mocha; like for some reason I really am wasting their time with my order! The food seems to come most often with an attitude rather than a smile and "thank you, come again!" - There's lots better service at the McDonald's drive thru! But the coffee and dessert really can't be beat anywhere that I've found in the north end, so just go with your patience (long lines, too!) and enjoy!

• Pros: Amazing mochas and desserts!
• Cons: Lackluster service

Bad Customer Service

by krisray at Citysearch

I do like the food but, I have tried to order a cake here and they are just rude about giving exactly 48 hours notice. I called and it was 45 hours before and they told me that they couldn't do it. They then told me that they do not sell cakes out of the display. They want to be able to sell the cake by the slice. I even told them that I would pay the same price that they would sell for an individual. I will no longer eat there and will tell everyone that I know.....

• Pros: good food
• Cons: bad custmer service!!!
