Perfectly cute and delicious brunch spot! We came here to celebrate a birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was attentive and kind, the ambiance of the place was very "Instagrammable" too. The food was good and came our prompltly as well as the drinks. The absolute highlight of the brunch was... the chicken and waffles!! How they managed to perfect the simplicity yet deliciousness of the dish is great. Everyone at the table had a try and we all agreed to be back to order the chicken and waffles again. All the food and the coffees were very tasty! read more

The restaurant itself was cute and had a nice aesthetic. However, the ordering process was a little different than expected. The waiter greeted us, seated us, and provided menus, but then we were instructed to scan a QR code to place our own order. The food came out fairly quickly, but overall the coffee and food were just average. The flavors felt a bit underwhelming and nothing really stood out enough that I would come back specifically for the menu. I would say this place is more about the atmosphere and aesthetic experience rather than the food itself. It's a cute spot to visit and take in the ambiance, but I personally wouldn't rush back for the food or drinks. read more

A beautiful place!!! Was out visiting for Father's Day weekend and decided to try this spot for breakfast. As soon as you step in the door this place is dripping with theme and fine details. From the honeycomb ceilings, walls, floors this place is stunning. They also have an outdoor patio that is very pretty and on theme. The restrooms are even decorated with theme. The service here was excellent and friendly, we had Vanessa and she was awesome with recommendations and even offered us to try some flavored espresso shots. You have to place your order via QR code and pay after ordering. I ordered the avocado toast with lavender lemonade and my bf ordered a breakfast sandwich with sweet potato fries. The food was good. We gad had a great experience here. Even got a chance to have casual conversation with other staff members present. Definitely will be returning when we are in town. read more

This place is such a cute, honeybee-themed restaurant with a fun and welcoming vibe. The staff was really friendly and helpful, especially when it came to ordering since the QR code menu had a few description errors. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad--it was tasty overall, though the chicken was sliced very thin. The chicken and waffles were delicious and definitely on the sweeter side; it seemed like the butter was mixed with sugar, which made it even sweeter. The veggie sausages weren't my favorite. Overall, it's a great spot for breakfast or lunch, especially if you're looking for a charming atmosphere. read more

Right when you enter this bee-themed restaurant, you know you are in for a treat. The walls, ceiling, tables, light fixtures, and even the tiles in the bathroom are bee themed or honeycomb shaped. It really sets the mood. We were advised to seat ourselves and once we had a menu, we were to go to the counter to order and pay or order through their app. I do and don't like this approach. For brunch, it was totally fine. I ordered the Salted Honey Butter Latte, Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes, and the Honey Bacon. The latte is served with some crunchy bits on the top of the foam. I'm not a fan of chunks in my coffee so I didn't love that addition but I got past it and enjoyed the honey flavor of the latte. The pancakes were beautifully presented, with the swirl of cinnamon facing up. They were crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside. Exactly how I like my pancakes. You could taste the cinnamon without it being overbearing. The bacon was absolutely delicious - chef's kiss! We really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere in the restaurant - we'll be back to try other options! read more

Was in the area and I heard good things about this place and decided to give it a try. I ordered the cinnamon swirl pancakes with eggs and sausage and my guests both ordered chicken and waffles. Drinks were the horchata matcha, hot chocolate and strawberry lemonade. The atmosphere was very well decorated and cutesy I love that its a small stylist spot so its not overly crowded and loud. Service was good as well as the food. My table literally was obsessed with the waffles and the chicken! My cinnamon swirl pancakes were good but I had leftovers lol No way I could eat 3 pancakes. Would definitely come back. The food, service down to the drinks were really good too. Portions were just right. Highly recommend read more

Loveeeeee the lavender lemonade. Waffles and chicken is good. Strawberry Matcha was okay. But even if they made mistakes or forgot some things for our order they were quick to fix and apologize about it. They love to check in and see how you're doing too and their food and service. It's beautiful in there not gonna lie. It's sweet being in there and the service is sweet as well! read more

Kind of a weird setup. You sit down, they tell you, you can order from the QR Code or come up to the counter to order. We ordered at the counter. What we ordered: 2 lattes - I can't remember which ones, but they were just ok Cinnamon Swirl pancakes - bf said they were good. He liked it Chicken & Waffles - I didn't like it. Chicken was a little dry. Waffles didn't seem freshly made. More like premade and put on the grill to warm up. We did have a couple of people ask us multiple times if we were doing ok. The honeycomb ceiling was cool. read more

Great service, good peoples!! Espresso is goooood!! Nice options on the menu, nice open comfortable seating. Booths are super comfy. I had the bacon wrapped filet. Filet was a bit tough even when ordered medium. I recommend the crispy potatoes over the melody. I ordered medium eggs but they came out well. I usually order medium cuz if not you got runny white stuff. I also had the texas toast, I would prefer a sourdough or wheat option. I'll def return to try out the other menu options and possibly try the lunch. After the meal, I felt good, like I just had a well made meal with high quality ingredients. Super good to feel that when eating out in today's world. read more

The food was decent, simple and yummy but the service was not great. They are visibility understaffed ( owners choice ) and didn't check up often, the waiters are also prepared food / drinks so they were just too busy to check on you, you have to order at the counter or at the table via QR code which is a nice thought but then you can't make any changes to your food, no customizations or preferences for cooking. also funny, they gave us one single ice cube in the water that was already melting lol It's definitely a place if you're looking for a simple breakfast with just an instagram worthy environment. read more

Honeybees is super cute. It's small but adorable. If you'd like to snag a table I'd suggest getting there as early as possible- especially if you have a group more than 4. Food/Drink: A: Honey Dream Waffle - great flavors C: Breakfast Plate - Pancakes - were very thick, dense and dry; more like a biscuit. We did not like this A: Banana Bread French Toast - very tasty A: Breakfast Sandwich: good A+: Salted Honey Butter Latte - this has me wanted to come back! Sooo good!! B+: Service: was good; but ordering was a bit weird. I had already read other reviews about service so I was somewhat prepared but when we sat down I was expecting someone to tell us how it worked. When nobody came we finally went to the counter to order. C. Parking: So street parking is a challenge, but there is a small paid public lot around the corner. Overall I can't wait to come back again for the vibes and that Salted Honey Butter Latte!!! read more

Food was ok tasted like everything came from Costco. We had the chicken and waffles, pulled pork Benedict and waffle breakfast. Service was a little weird seems to be a trend where you order from your phone at the table and they just bring out your food and the. You pay from your phone so it lacks some sort of personal connection. Wife had a salted honey matcha latte which was actually pretty good. But what is on point is the decor and ambiance, this place is super cool and trendy we can see why it's all over socials. read more

Ok, will start with the food we ordered and shared the Banana Bread French toast. It was delicious but very much like a dessert. The slices were thick and the brown sugar crumbled on top makes it extremely sweet. It will fill you up. Now on to service. It took a bit for waiter to come to our table as you can order a pay for your food through an app. Not made obvious to first timers I would suggest they have a sign on the tables. Oh and our side of sausage and bacon came out before the food. The restaurant is lovely, beautiful decor. The honeycomb ceiling is perfect . The bee Tv is an add charm. The prices are reasonable as well. Oh one other suggestion arrive early as the line and wait can get long on weekends. We arrived at 9 and were seated promptly. read more

Was met at the door quickly and offered a seat. It's qt code ordering. Sierra was super sweet to me and my pup. Got the short rib Benedict. One of my favs. Lots of hollandaise sauce. Eggs poached perfectly. The croissant was grilled perfectly. Now let's talk about those potatoes.... I'm not big on potatoes but these are everything. Crisp, flavorful, extra decadent. Good sized portions Cute decor I wish they had more food or beverages that are honey inspired. No liquor. I had no wait at 1030 on a Wednesday. Street parking. read more

Talk about and instagram worthy spot for brunch! The ambiance is fabulous. Lots of detail went into this brunch spot. It is all about honey and bees just like the name. The ceiling is shaped like honeycomb, light fixtures are shaped like beehives and there is even a gnome garden with bee gnomes. Service was good, but you have to order with a QR code. I think that takes away from the personalization of a sit down meal. It is different if we order at a counter or are given a choice. There was no choice in how to order. We were on the patio which had a very relaxing vibe. Lots of fake trees and flowers surrounded us. So not much for bees to actually pollinate. The food was good. I feel like I need to go back and try more options. We ordered the waffles, banana bread slice, and a kids spaghetti. The red sauce on the pasta was a creamy red sauce. That was surprising. The lemon ginger tea was tasty with the stick of honey it came with. The gold bee on the lid of the cup was a nice finishing touch. I would come back to try more items. See if the place holds up on repeat visits. read more

Unique items on the menu, honey infused into a lot of things. The QR code and counter ordering is a little weird but once you make your order at the counter, you can definitely customize the food order however you see fit. The servers check up on you while you're seated. Wish it opened before 9:00am but I'm definitely coming back! read more

Wife surprised me with this place and it was aestheticly pleasing so I was on the fence if it would be good. That changed when my coffee came i ordered the banana brulee iced it was the perfect sweetness and bitterness both me and my wife enjoyed it and our coffee pallets are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I ordered the banana bread brulee French toast and my wife got the short rib Benedict both were amazing. The French toast was great they didn't need anything extra on them they were rich with banana flavor a great sweetness and the bananas had a crunch and crackle that texture difference was great I ordered an additional side of sausages and I don't know if the French toast made them taste better but they were nice and salty contrast. The short rib Benny was tender and flavorful the potatoes were crispy and fluffy and if that don't take the cake we were gifted a cinnamon roll I had two bites because I didn't want to explode I had the "itis" and was lucky to make it out of there I will be back and suggest you go. read more

Three friends went and thoroughly enjoyed every part of our experience. I was skeptical it may be gimmicky because of the draw for the honey theme but was greatly impressed! The food was pretty amazing, the short rib Benedict was superb, the pistachio topped salmon salad was fresh and delish! The banana brûlée latte was a zinger( I asked for half the sweetness - just right for me) The service was accommodating, continued to fill waters and clear plates. The ambiance was simply wonderful, not cheesy at all. The lower ratings due to the QR code ordering is unfortunate- it's a tech world. Our service was still personable. I hope everyone checks it out when near PB! The beach is only blocks away. read more

So far we didn't have the greatest experience showing up. We had 3 different waitresses ask us how many people and each one said they'd get us seating but they didn't and they'd sit other groups before us even as we stood there waiting. The place itself is cute. Nice ambiance and creative. Food took about 40mins to show up so we waited a while. My wife didn't even get her drink until we asked the waitresses about it. Not a fan of how you gotta order the food at all. Either you have to scan the QR code and order online or go up to the register to order. Definitely connect to the wifi if you are going to try to use the QR code because I had terrible service inside. Do not order the Chai Latte. It was extremely watered down. We even sent it back to have it remade and it was pretty much the same. The lemonades came out pretty well overall so that's a good option. Food was good but nothing special for the wait. It came out looking good overall. The food and the cuteness of the place was really why it kept 3 stars. Almost debated on 2 stars. They do have military discount as of writing this review so ask about it! read more

Such a beautiful little place! Totally cute and instagram worthy ! We were in the area grabbing desserts from across the street and decided to grab brunch on our way home. The outside looks a bit small and unassuming but as soon as you walk in, it's a sweet little shop like you'd see in a fairytale. The honeybee theme all over was so precious- Everything about this place was CUTE. The hostess let us know we can order through the a QR code at our table, which made for quick and easy ordering without feeling rushed. My husband got a hot coffee and short rib Benedict- he loved all of it. His coffee had the cutest little honey stir stick and he got a biscoff cookie snack. I got an iced coffee with oat milk and the breakfast plate. Server was sweet and gave me a bit extra oat milk on the side. I loved everything - fluffy eggs and the sausages were not too salty. The waffles were fluffy, but crispy - also very sweet! We have no bad things to say about this restaurant- I just wish we lived closer to come here more often! read more

The service here was spectacular. Dogs are allowed in this restaurant, so if you have dogs, this is a great brunch option for you. We had two dogs in our party, and the server brought over pup cups (whipped cream) right away for them. About halfway through our brunch, they also gave little strips of bacon for the dogs. We ordered the: -Honey buffalo chicken sandwich ($16) This came with the option for mozzarella sticks or fries. We were tempted by the mozzarella sticks, but ended up sticking with classic fries. The sandwich was filling, and had a satisfying balance of chicken, honey bacon, and pepper jack cheese. I would definitely order this again. -Honey dream waffles ($15): These were sugar waffles with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, honey, and raspberry sauce. I loved all of the fresh fruit, but would prefer regular waffles over the sugar waffles. After a while, the sugar waffles ended up being too sweet for me with all the fruit, honey, and sauce. -Chicken and waffles ($16): At first, they accidentally delivered the chicken and waffles dish, instead of the honey dream waffles that we had ordered. When we told them, they said that we can keep this dish and that they would also bring out the dish we had initially ordered. This was very nice of the servers, and we enjoyed this additional savory dish. The chicken was fried perfectly. -Strawberry matcha ($6.89): This came with dairy milk, but you can substitute it with alternative milks for an additional cost. We each ordered a strawberry matcha, and it was a refreshing pairing with our other dishes. The ambiance inside is adorable. The ceiling looks like a beehive, and the sharing plates and table runner have bee designs on them. They also have a bottle of honey at each table, in case you want anymore honey on your dishes! All in all, this is a wonderful choice for your future brunch. Just be prepared to wait because there was a long line right when it opened! read more

The biggest thing that jumps out from this, their interior is gorgeous. Props to the ownership for decorating this place. We were seated after a short wait. You order on your phone, and pay through their app. The service was unfortunately extremely slow. It took us about twenty minutes to get our coffee order. The waffles were not the best. They were very cakey and not very crispy. The food could've definitely been better. Our first time here was ok. I'm hoping they improve their service and food in the future. read more

The restaurant itself was really cute. For like a date or maybe a girl's brunch. I didn't really like that you order through a QR code. I guess I'm more old school where I would've wanted the waiter/server to give me some guidance or recommendations. My friend and I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles. The sandwich was yummy,I asked for everything on the side so I can apply as much avocado and honey bee sauce as I wanted to my sandwich. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, as I felt they didn't go with a breakfast sandwich, since they were fried and seasoned, they would go better with a burger or non breakfast food (my opinion). The waffle was my favorite part of everything we ate, it's a thicker construct and they drizzle honey on top. The waffle itself is already sweet so you really don't need syrup and the berries that came with it paired perfectly! The chicken, was a bit chewy, didn't really care for the seasoning. I would go back for the ambiance and maybe to try other things from the menu. read more

Went with an out of town guest. It was good but not someplace that we have to go back to when they visit again. You order with QR code and pre-pay (including tip before they even serve or check on you). I liked that you could customize your food order if needed. You can order at the counter as well. Food was quick to come out. Coffee was HOT with free refills. The place has a cute beehive theme with honeycomb ceiling. read more

Honeybess was overall a really enjoyable experience. Most of our food has a really sweet twist on an already solid dish. The pricing was decent range from about 15-30 bucks per dish. The service was standard, made sure we had utensils, water and were polite. The honeybee asthetic was pretty calming, while there were a couple things the felt a little different, I'm terms of theming, it was a pleasent site. Overall : cinnamon swirl and honey buffalo, highly recommend. Theming was really nice. Service was standard. Pricing has a wide range. read more

The whole place is cute. The theme is all over the table, the ceiling, the walls, the hallways, the bathrooms. Loved it. They have someone check on you even though you place your order and pay for it through the QR code on the table. It's very efficient. The Wait staff were all very nice. My friend ordered the banana bread pancake - The feedback is that it's good but the banana bread was a little bit dry and she probably wouldn't order it again. My other friend ordered the pancake that looks like a cinnamon roll and I think the description says it has honey. She said although delicious, it was too sweet and it was a lot even though she ate only half of the first pancake. I ordered a short rib Benedict and I can see why this is a popular item. It was delicious. I ate the whole thing. And I would definitely order this again. Each of our plates comes with a lovely fruit cup. All the berries on top were delicious. The sliced strawberries on the bottom did not taste good and looked old so after having one piece I didn't finish it. For my drink, I ordered the honey lavender with almond milk, hot. I like that there was a good amount of lavender flavor but the honey flavor was too sweet for me and I would order something with more coffee in it next time. We went on a Thursday morning for brunch and there was plenty of parking. The café is right across the street from the friendly. So if you want more food, you can also hop on over across the street for a burger. I was plenty full so did not need that extra burger. A couple doors over is also a nice bookstore you can browse after your meal. read more

Fairly new spot. They have some logistical things to figure out but I'd give them a try. The wait for our food was longer than we waited to get data down on a Saturday morning. It was a full house and seemed like there was only one server for all the tables. There was 10 of us though and we were split up in two tables. Most dishes are honey influenced. The waffles are more liege waffles than your traditional Belgian waffle. The fried chicken was crispy and tasty but sweet from the honey. I felt that the menu was pretty limited too. I wish they had more options, we all didn't really know what to order. I was super disappointed in the strawberry matcha. It was mostly all strawberry unfortunately. The coffees were ok. All the drinks were served in plastic to go cups so not the most eco friendly option but convenient if you're someone who doesn't typically finish their drinks at brunch. read more

Came here with our friends on an early Saturday morning and were able to get seated without waiting too long. After seeing so many pictures of the restaurant on social media, I was curious to visit, and the restaurant was definitely visually appealing. On to the most important part, the food. I had a Honey Buffalo Chicken sandwich and my wife had a Monte Cristo sandwich. We also both had some coffee and tea. The Honey Buffalo Chicken sandwich was delicious, and I would order again. Really enjoyed the savory and sweet tastes. The server also brought extra honey, which I enjoyed. I would order this sandwich again. My wife said her Monte Cristo was okay. I had a bite and it was pretty "bready" and it seemed like it could have used more meat. We would not order this one again. The matcha tea and cold banana coffee drinks were good. We got lucky by getting a parking space in front, but as is usual in PB, the parking can be rough. read more

Honeybees - Classic French Toast, Smash Burger, Crispy Potatoes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here for lunch with a friend. We chose the place based off viewing photos of the ambiance and the food selection. Located in PB, plenty of street parking options though could see on weekends and during summer months could be more difficult though they also have a cutely decorated patio for dining al fresco out back. No reservations, just walk in service. Luckily no wait for us! Once seated with real menus the ordering is all done via the QR code at your table, that said if you want to be on the same bill use one phone though for splitting the bill this method makes it easy. I did not like that you pay and tip right away (can't place the order without), which is annoying if you decide to order something else like dessert later on in your meal. The host/food runner is around and you have to request water directly in person. I did not like that the water came in a plastic to go cup for a sit down meal. In case your curious the food is plated on real ceramic plates not to go boxes. My friend got the arugula salad with added shrimp, it was enjoyed and a large portion but included what must have been an entire grocery store bag of arugula so lots left over. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which I loved that it was chicken breast. It was very yummy and came with some mixed berries as well. Neither of us ordered a cafe or matcha latte though seems like they have some fun options. Overall a solid 4 stars though if there was a long wait I'd skip. Also not sure if matters to some but did not see any mimosas or other brunch style cocktails on the menu. read more

what a great find in San Diego!! Service: very friendly and accommodating, ordered off QR CODE so need to wait for a server to take order but the service was great. Brought food out in less than 10 mins. made sure our waters were filled Food: I ordered the short rib Benedict and my gf ordered a breakfast sandwich. Double delicious!! The potatoes were cooked a nice crispiness but moist on inside. Short rib with the hollandaise sauce was perfection. The croissant was also toasted. The breakfast sandwich was made to fill your stomach with turkey and the right crispness of bacon. Cinnamon roll was a great sweet finish to the meal.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while showing my out-of-town family around San Diego, and it was the most adorable little gem! Honeybees is sooooo cutely decorated, you feel like you're in a groovy honeycomb. And the staff here is so attentive and welcoming, I felt like all my needs were met. We ordered some chili which was super yummy and made in house.

This restaurant was wonderful, I highly recommend making a stop here! read more
