    I was walking around initially to find a bathroom and came across this cafe! The interior is like no other. It felt like walking into a home. The matcha latte I ordered was made right on the spot and had a lovely gradient. I want to come here again to try the other foods! Service was thoughtful and kind. There were also other crafts and accessories that were being sold. The warm welcome to dogs was much appreciated as well. God bless you all!

    Nestled in a suite next door to a wellness boutique in the Bird Rock neighborhood, you will find Honey Cafe. It's a cozy little space run by a local couple. The decor was very simple with a surfboard hanging on one of the walls. The menus behind the service counter were written on butcher paper rolls while a couple of other chalkboards hung to the side and front of the counter. Flatbread, sandwiches, salads, omelettes, and paninis were the food offerings. Coffee, tea, smoothies, and vitamix juices were the beverage choices. Since I had finished a meal elsewhere, I decided to just order one of the seven smoothies. The Rock Smoothie was made up of peaches, banana, yogurt, milk, and honey. The blend was whipped up quickly and tasted fine. My issue was the price for the 16 oz serving size. All of the smoothies were either $11 or $12. The volume needed to be at least 50% more to match some of the local shops less than a couple of miles away where at one place, a 24 oz product cost less than $10. Other than that, the service was cordial, and I would return to try one of the eight different omelettes.

    Phenomenal phenomenal coffee and pastries, lots of middle eastern/Turkish flavors. Great variety and great service. Highly recommend this place. Also have cute stuff for dogs, and the whole decor and atmosphere is beyond amazing.

    Beautiful space and incredibly friendly service (from the owner, Çem). We were walking in the area after a stroll by the beach, and the sandwich board on the curb, with promises of Turkish Breakfast, drew us in. The interior of the shop is bright and airy, and the menu is equally inviting. Çem couldn't have been friendly or more welcoming (and shared the various stories of his rescue pets, photos of which are featured prominently in the cafe). We opted for a zucchini omelette, which was fresh and flavorful, and topped with sprigs of dills and dashes of feta. Yum. We'd already had coffee earlier in the morning otherwise we would've downed a Turkish coffee...and been wired through the afternoon. Çem mentioned that his mother-in-law would be visiting soon, and would teach him and his wife how to make traditional borekas. Can't wait to stop back and try those out, especially with patliçan (eggplant). Teşekkür, Çem!

    We came in to get a quick bite and some coffee before hitting the beach and this place was great! Cute birds on the patio, an adorable shop golden retriever, and a delicious maple latte. Thank you!

    The cafe is very cute and aesthetic , it looks family owned . I went on Presidents' Day , and the owners kids were all there, their toys were on the ground . I think the kids were there because there was no school . They were touching the pastries , which I found a bit gross since I had just ordered a croissant . The croissant tasted like a Costco one ,definitely not baked there . The barista was a bit frustrated managing the cafe orders and her kids . Very unpleasant experience .

    Salmon Bagel

    Cute and cozy cafe with a relaxed ambiance. Tried the salmon bagel which was really good with an iced Americano. Ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Very friendly owner with great customer service. Will definitely be returning when in the area, highly recommend.

    This place is the sweetest. The owner (I believe) is so kind and thoughtful, my boyfriend and I decided to enjoy our coffees and breakfast in house. They really put effort into how they serve every drink and even something as simple as a croissant. I may need to know where they get their coffee cups and plating! Anyway 10/10 it's so cute here.

    This place is so cute and charming! The food is homemade and they offer a few specialty Turkish options. There's plenty of seating inside or outside by the parakeets. There's food, coffee and service are all wonderful and it's very dog friendly as well.

    With the owners' friendliness and the beautiful design of the place, I think this is the best spot around for coffee and smoothies. Also, don't leave without trying the chickpea salad -- it's incredibly delicious!

    Mango matcha

    I adore this place! It's family run and they are so sweet, feels like they're making you a homemade meal. The cashier always takes time to make suggestions which is how I discovered the mango matcha! The spinach feta sandwich is my other favorite. If it's the weekend there will be a wait but it's worth it and you can just relax inside or on the patio (usually accompanied by pups or the resident parakeets!).

    A hidden gem in La Jolla! Honey Cafe & Store is a place you won't want to miss with great customer service approach. Their Turkish breakfast is a true "Turkish Delight. Vibrant, authentic, and bursting with fresh flavors. The Börek, their signature stuffed pastries, are a standout--crispy, golden layers filled with savory perfection. And if smoothies are your thing, this spot has some of the finest in town: refreshingly smooth, full of natural taste, and blended to perfection. Whether you're in the mood for a relaxed breakfast or just grabbing something on the go, Honey Cafe offers a warm, welcoming vibe and memorable eats. Definitely a must-try!

    This was a lovely corner spot, perfect for a quick sweet OR savory treat! They had a large menu of smoothies, salads, omelets, flatbreads, sandwiches, paninis, juices and much more to choose from. Extremely warm and welcoming environment and I was in love with the decor. Service was amazing, kind and quick, and knowledgeable about options. Absolutely would recommend!!

    Don't let the name fool you - this place is super authentic and Brazilian run…read more Also, one of the only places where you can get cupuacu in addition to Açaí. Very cool! Definitely recommend.

    I only came here a handful of times before my last experience completely turned me off from ever…read morecoming back. I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.
