    Special chicken panini
    Kate K.

    My first time at Honeybee's was a bit lackluster. The person behind the counter recommended the special chicken panini so I gave that a try. The "panini bread" is pretty bland sliced white bread, which wasn't evenly toasted. The avocado on the sandwich was not ripe and some pieces were so chewy they were inedible, resembling rubber more than food. Tomatoes were also not very ripe, but that is a problem that plagues many restaurants. The sandwich stuffing was pretty minimal, as you can see from the photo. For a couple dollars less I could have had a much better sandwich down the street at Olives.

    Milk Tea 24oz
    Grace J.

    I stumbled upon this quiet shop while driving through Long Beach and found that they offer a variety of teas and sandwiches. Their milk tea was decent. Next time I'd try a sandwich for a quick bite. Not a lot of seating inside but seems like a calm environment with very pleasant staff

    Honeybee's Breakfast Sandwich
    Vicky A.

    I had their Breakfast sandwich and iced vanilla latte. It was my first time trying them and ordered take out to be delivered. The sandwich was good and the ingredients seemed fresh. There was some seasoning in the egg not sure what but tasted good. The vanilla latte was perfect, not too much vanilla or milk. Definitely recommend trying them out for yourself.

    Oolong Milk Tea with Boba
    Sydney T.

    Concerning, could be doing a lot better and I think it's possible I was here on an off day. Quite a bit of a wait time, and the milk tea is not worth it. Seems like most other customers were here for sandwiches/ burgers and coffee. There were two girls who seemed to be working the beverage station and one girl working the kitchen. It seemed like the person making food had to expedite/ call out orders at the same time, which was causing a huge delay in between orders coming out. The girls working beverage station and foh should have been helping with expediting more in my opinion. Just all around the team seemed to be confused and scrambling, orders coming out in a weird and different order than they were placed. You can see in the photo that my drink is mostly white, and it tastes like almost nothing? The only flavor is coming from the boba. This tastes like someone brewed the tea like it was a hot tea, cold iced teas have to be brewed darker so that they aren't watered down when cooled off. That's why a lot of places have larger batches of tea brewed overnight like a cold brew, so the flavor is more pungent and can be mixed into ice and milk without losing its flavor. This had no tea flavor and was extremely disappointing, I do not recommend it to any tea lovers. If the focus is on burgers and food, it feels misleading to have your branding be about honey boba. On top of all of this, as I was waiting for my order and watching the kitchen I kept seeing the girl who was making drinks touch her face and hair while working. I know it must have been an unconscious thing from being nervous, but it is super unsanitary to not be washing your hands in between all of that. Left me hoping the drink would wow me after all of that, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

    Each roll got smaller than the previous one. WTF ?!?!  Definitely not worth $13.95
    Nor G.

    I was literally the only customer there and 3 employees working, but no one came out so I used the digital kiosk. Still after ordering no one greeted me to ensure they got my order. I jjust stayed quiet at a seat in plain view of the kitchen. When I finally got my order they were missing an entire dish. Im the only customer and ordered 2 items. How do you possibly mess that up with 3 people back there. After making them aware it took them a rather long time to make my second item. It was the spring rolls pictured. They were a bit soggy and the sizes were completely different. Each one was smaller than the other. I wonder how bad this place is when there's actually several customers. Not worth the money for what you get either. I also paid $16.95 for a rice bowl a fraction of the size as waba or flame broiler, with less items. It was just a hand full of meat, scoop of rice, and a tiny container of pickled carrots. This place is a rip off

    Strawberry Smoothie
    Kim R.

    This review is solely on the smoothie I got. I decided to check this place out since I was next door waiting for my food from a Yelp event (see previous review). The backdrop is cute (see my photo) and the girl who waited on me was nice. I got the strawberry smoothie. It was just ok. To be honest, it was quite bland. No sweetness to it whatsoever. I think it was legit just strawberries and milk. I was expecting a Jamba Juice type smoothie... *shrugs* I'm a little curious on how the breakfast burrito is (I'm still trying to find my most favorite/"perfect" one) but I'm not sure that I'll go back.

    Cool decor
    Neal T.

    Had an iced tea lemonade and a Tuna Melt Panini. The shepherd bread they put it on is delicious. I can't wait to go back and try the Banh Mi I didn't see that one till after I ordered. The neighborhood is a quiet nice spot with plenty of street parking right off 3rd and Redondo basically. They had my sandwich and drink ready quickly but I was the only one there at the time so not sure what rush hour looks like.

    Italian sandwich
    Paula O.

    This is a nice little neighborhood place to pick up a sandwich. It has grown an appendage which is 3rd&Loma. Repainted, it has a new and bright exterior. Thankfully, we were able to get a Italian sandwich to round out the spring roll linner that was begun next door. Quite hungry. Were we to want something at this location again I think that I would try another sandwich here rather than 3rd&Loma fare. Bf pointed out that that ratio of bread to sandwich innards was perfect.

    Kyana D.

    The service was nice. Seating was somewhat limited. I decided to go for their honeybee special milk tea. This drink came with so many toppings they did not hold back at all, super generous, I would highly recommend trying it. It's also on the sweeter side, like a lot lol, which is a plus for me but definitely keep that in mind. Their menu also includes the final price for everything meaning tax is already included. I also like the fact that their milk tea's specifically all come in a large size and their super reasonably priced too. They had so many options for both drinks and pastries so there should be something for everyone. Parking can be challenging at this location because it's sort of in the center of a neighborhood meaning you'll have to count on a spot being available on the curb.

    Welcome!

    5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Local, convenient, and delicious is what comes to mind when I think of HoneyBee's. I moved into the area almost a year ago now and I drove by this place everyday to and from work since I live about 3 blocks away. In all honesty I never stopped by because I'm always running late to where I should be or the times I thought about stopping it looked busy and again I am usually running too late to wait lol This time around I was off and had just finished a morning cycling class and decided, today is the day I try this place and I'm so happy I did. First off all Isabella was AMAZING! She was so welcoming and very helpful, her bubbly and beautiful personality is so contagious and made my visit outstanding. I knew I wanted an Açai bowl but they had a few options so she gave me her best recommendation and totally explained to me what they have to offer. Since my first visit I have been here a hand full of times now and every time I have stopped by the service is nothing but the best and the açaí bowls are always PERFECT! I love my açaí bowls made with extra peanut butter and no coconuts, they never have a problem with altering any order to your liking. Located in a residential neighborhood with only street parking, HoneyBees has indoor and outdoor seating and is a nice quiet place to sit and hangout or maybe get some work done. I'm so happy this cute place is located blocks away from my living situation so I can stop by anytime I please :) Hope you enjoy!

It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

They have a big menu with a lot of different options, not just coffee. The first time I went, most of the seats were taken but I was able to find a spot. I kind of struck out on the first drink I ordered though (the black sesame espresso, half sweet). I usually find specialty coffee drinks way to sweet and half-sweet is normally not a problem but I think I screwed up this beverage with my modification. Still, the cold foam was not that foamy or tasty and I found myself with a cup full of ice and no beverage after a couple sips. Wouldn't order again. The next time I came, the place was packed and there wasn't a single seat available which is good for them but disappointing for me. I ended up ordering the strawberry coconut cloud to go, since I already had enough caffeine for the day. What a delicious and refreshing drink! I'd absolutely get this again (or a different version). So overall, not a dependable spot to land if you want to work as it's often busy and all the seats are taken. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other drinks though, especially the egg cream or corn coffee drinks.

The decor is cozy and chic, and I like that they kept it spacious instead of cramming a ton of tables and chairs in. I especially loved the little table lamps! Our server was very nice and helpful when we had questions. Caesar salad: I LOVED this. Perfect balance of flavors with perfect crunch. Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons! I hope they add a happy hour soon and I hope to see the return of their patio at some point!

She recommended warming before eating. What a nice little treat to share with my husband after dinner! Back to the cafe. Newly added as an adjoining space was vacated next to the bakery. Industrial modern interior. Spacious with 20(?) tables. Partners opted for the 2 egg breakfast. Eggs cooked perfectly as ordered. One ordered an omelet. Beautifully made. Would make Jacques Pepin or Thomas Keller proud. Thick sliced bacon. Thick sliced multigrain toast. Small side of spring mix salad adorned with watermelon radish. Very nice entree if you're an egg lover. Shared the French fries. They're like the ones my grandma made. Thick sliced potatoes deep fried. Crispy outside. Soft inside. Brings back pleasant memories. Get these if you're a French fry fan. The mushroom dip (think French dip with variety of sautéed mushroom in lieu of beef) was GREAT! Mushroom not overcooked, Muenster cheese draped atop. Crusty baguette bread. Although the dipping sauce was vegan based, the roasted mushroom base added enough umami for a deeply flavored dip. My only complaint was the clusters of oyster mushrooms were laid horizontally following the length of baguette. Which presents well but was a bit challenging to bite through. I dunno, maybe my teeth aren't sharp. Overall an outstanding dish. So my dilemma now is when to return to try the other menu items which didn't make my first cut. Parking is....well ya know...it's 2nd St. So the driver needs to be a good parallel parker. Cute shoes optional but be prepared to walk.
