    I've been wanting to go here for brunch for the longest time and I'm so glad I finally did! Everything was fantastic! It was hard to make up my mind on what to get but glad I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy- the gravy was probably the best I've ever had!

    Fried chicken sandwich & fries

    As a Milwaukee native (born & raised) now living in Cali, this place feels so much like Milwaukee food culture in the best ways. And their pie game is INSANE. Service was impressively on point. The host had the perfect mix of professional service and local chit chat. Here's what my mom and I split for lunch: Fried chicken sandwich w fries: Crispy chicken thigh and the harissa sauce gives some flavor. The pickled daikon cuts the richness. Fries surprised us as the MVP of this dish. Spinach artichoke dip: Super rich and flavorful. The goat cheese adds tang and depth. Crostinis were good, but - the fries as a vehicle. Trust me. House salad: We got this because we were guilty for ordering the Artichoke Dip and Fried Chicken. And it turned out to be much needed balance to this meal. Milwaukee Mud Pie: The reason people talk about Honeypie. Chocolate maxxing at its finest. Mega fluffy top and crunchy cookie base. Top 5 pie in my life. Unsolicited, I tell people about this pie. It's that good. NEXT TIME: Chicken pot pie looked sooo good. Will definitely try!

    I love the vibe of this place. It's cute and cozy and makes you want to eat comfort food! My cousin and I recently came here for a quick dinner. We both had the Chicken and Biscuit pie. It was good although the biscuit was really huge. I love the crusty top, but maybe could use a little more of the stew part of it. She loved it and pretty much finished the whole thing. Service was fast and friendly. Great recommendations, so I want to come back when I have more time and more room for dessert! Oh yeah - don't forget to peruse the little shop area in the front of the restaurant. My cousin found some great Christmas gifts for her daughters and her friends - all locally made!

    Honeypie Cafe is a long time favorite! Everything on their menu is so good. We always take pie to-go too :)

    Pie pie pie!

    Admittedly, I am not a huge pie person (I know, I know...) but when I come here, all of that goes out of the window. When I come to Honeypie, not only do I have a difficult time choosing just one but I love every single bite of whatever I choose! The selection is always epic, between fruit pies, chocolate pies and unique flavors of the week/ season. This visit I chose the lemon blueberry because it was the end of summer and wanted something fruity and I wasn't sure this summery flavor would be available if I were to visit in the fall or winter months. Of course, it was perfect. Crust was light and flaky with exploding blueberry and lemon flavor in each bite. Although I came here for pie after dinner, I somehow had room to finish every last crumb of my pie. I've also been here for brunch (bar service) where nothing was less than perfect and exactly what I would hope for in my brunch experience. The bar staff is also fun, friendly and speedy, no matter when you're here. Honeypie is one of my favorites and should actually visit more to taste more of the pie flavors I drool over when I do visit!

    Tried Honeypie for breakfast with friends and had a great experience! We came on a Saturday around 10am and only had a 15-20 min wait. The food was amazing- my friends said it was "one of the best breakfast burritos ever". I love their coffee and also enjoyed my ham/egg croissant breakfast sandwich- lots of flavor! The wait staff was extremely kind to us and very attentive, which I appreciated! Overall a very cute vibe. Not pictured below, but we tried a slice of their specialty honey pie which was SO good! Very different than any pie I've had before so would definitely recommend trying it out. Definitely will be coming back :)

    Love love love all things Honeypie Pies. Stopped here a few weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, our new tradition. Sat at the counter and the staff was friendly and engaging. The cream pies are always on point. My fav is the black bottom banana cream pies. Don't ask what it is. Just get here and try it. They also host pie making classes out of a different bay view kitchen so they will even teach you their craft. It is all a super enjoyable experience.

    Beautiful restaurant experience at Honeypie Cafe. The front bar area is gorgeous with a true cafe vibe. Art and decor surrounding the dining area is also very cool to be around. My party and I stopped in for a quick lunch and had a great time. Friendly service and good food made our day! Had the chorizo melt special which was fantastic! Others in our group were pleased with the omelette and mac and cheese as well!

    Chilaquiles
    Karla M.

    Excellent brunch! Would highly recommend to any one looking for a cozy spot. The place is so lively with all the unique decorations. It was nice to be seated immediately, I would recommend being early as it gets pretty busy. Have been here twice and I've only tried their brunch, but everything has been delicious! My favorite is the Chilaquiles and the Nutella pie

    I snapped a picture of the last bite!

    Went for lunch before my flight out of MKE. The reviews were spot on! I had the Friday Fish Fry and some of best breading I've eaten! The main reason for the review was the Coconut Key Lime Pie. Your diabetes will thank you. Get it.

    What a vibe!!! This place has such an adorable cafe/diner atmosphere. It is fun, welcoming, and cozy. The service was friendly and quick. They offer comfort foods - highly recommend the burger (SO juicy and flavorful) and the Pesto chicken salad sandwich (so so fresh and full of flavor) . The fries were crispy. The side salad was so fresh, and I loved the ranch! It wasn't super creamy and they didn't drown the salad in dressing. As far as pies, you have to get one! Our group got the strawberry rhubarb, salted caramel, mixed berry, cookies and creme, and chocolate and we loved them all! Highly recommend coming here.

    Breakfast Casserole and Lavender Cream
    Alano V.

    Came here by myself and sat at the bar. Got their Lavender Cream iced coffee with oatmilk--so delicious! Then their breakfast casserole--quite good! Would have liked it with a bit more gravy cause the biscuit was so thick but overall pretty good. It was very modern inside and had a chill vibe to it. I had a really great waiter and spent barely any time waiting as they were quick to close me out ! Would definitely come back when I'm feeling some breakfast food

    Yogurt Parfait
    Isabella K.

    Made yet another trip to Honeypie, this time for lunch. It has yet to disappoint! The macaroni and cheese was gooey, creamy, and delicious. The additions of the bacon, toasted bread crumbs, and ribboned green onion really made the dish dynamic -- plenty of textural interest that you don't always get with your run-of-the-mill mac and cheese. At $18 it was a little pricey for an entreé, and though it was delicious, I might try something else in the future. The Bay View Breeze mocktail was to die for. The flavor combination of pineapple, ginger, lime, and mint worked exquisitely. Once again, a little pricey at $7 for just a mocktail, but I might just catch myself ordering it again. For dessert we went with the salted honey pie, per the recommendation of our server, and it was hands down the best pie I have ever had. The custardy filling was held together by a perfectly buttery and flaky crust. The brûléed top added depth to contrast the sweetness and the whipped cream was just the right touch to round it all out. Our server Rin (Ryn?) was spectacular. They were always attentive and friendly and knew the menu well enough to offer some top notch suggestions. Honeypie Cafe is not cheap, but you really are paying for quality. Both the interior and the patio seating make for an ambient experience and I've never had a bad server. Be prepared to spend upwards of $50 (before tax and tip) for two people. And whatever you do, don't skip out on dessert. The pie truly is amazing and worth the $9/slice price tag.

We had reservations at 6:00 on a Saturday night. (It was cold, a little drizzly, and windy out.) The front entrance has several steep steps, and when you walk through, you are literally at the host station. They were going to seat us right behind the host station, but we knew it was going to be a problem as people went in and out. We asked to be seated a little farther from the door, and after a bit of discussion (it sounded like this was going to be a little issue), they were able to find a table for two in the parlor. So glad! Got settled in right away with menus and waters. Our server did a good job of getting us up to speed on the menu, the service, and the cocktails. They did a very good job throughout the evening (thanks, Roberto). We settled on the Window Seat (Beef Tallow and Rosemary Washed Vodka, crazy but true) and the Night Clubbing (with espresso-infused Campari). Both were very good choices. We decided that we wanted to start with three dishes and then regroup if we needed more. These included the Bok Choy Salad, Cumin and Cinnamon Braised Pork Shoulder, and Venison Tartare (Dijon Ice Cream?). The Bok Choy Salad was a real surprise, with the entire collection being so bright and flavorful. The dates had a meaty quality. The dressing with Nuoc Cham was savory with just a bit of heat. We both decided that we could have made an entire meal of that. The Pork Shoulder came next and was a good portion, with the meat tender and flavorful. The Quinoa Polenta was interesting, but I can't say that it was something I would seek out. I have had Beef Tartare before, but this was a first for Venison Tartare, so of course I just had to order it. What struck me first was that the entire thing (not just the Dijon Ice Cream) was very cold, almost frozen. I tried a couple of bites, and it was so cold that unless you let it sit in your mouth to thaw out, it was somewhat tasteless. I spread it around the plate to thaw out, and it was a big improvement. It's a good-sized portion, and even after loading up on the three pieces of bread, there was still plenty left (maybe a couple more pieces of bread?). There were a couple of desserts that we would have loved to try, but we were full and had a performance to attend. So we will have to wait until next time. Really enjoyed our first dinner. Loved the inventiveness of the menu. The staff all seem to really care about the business and the diners. With the placement of the front door and the draftiness of the dining room, we will likely book our next dinner when the weather turns warmer.

We also ordered a Milwaukee-style bratwurst and a Chicago-style cheddarwurst. We both thought that the Chicago-style cheddarwurst had great flavor and delicious toppings. The Milwaukee-style bratwurst was tasty, but we both felt that it needed some type of sauce or something to bring it all together. Needless to say, we left completely full and actually did not even have room for dinner that evening.

I wish I had gotten a full side of it instead of splitting it with the chips. The chips are thick-cut and made fresh to order, but they lacked flavor on their own.
