    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Really good pies, contemporary diner fair with some upscale cocktails served in the digs to match.

The spam omelette was delicious and paired well with the Johnny cakes. The Johnny cakes are massive and we ended up both taking leftovers home of that. The orange blossom syrup was really good with it. Our server was attentive and stayed on top of water refills which was appreciated as it was a warm day to be eating outside. They also have a second location which I am eager to try.

Served with choice of side I had the classic eggs Benedict. Perfectly poached egg. Hollandaise and Canadian bacon. We both wished the hollandaise had a little more flavor. It seemed a bit thick, almost too mayonnaise forward. A squirt of lemon made it taste much better and thinned it out a bit. Perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes! Don't forget the Bloody Mary!

Brunch It Up (possibly in the middle of rebranding to just "Brunch.") is a classic breakfast spot in downtown Milwaukee...we were there on a Sunday morning...high brunch time, and were seated quickly upstairs. The place had an overall run-down vibe to it...scuffed paint on the walls and a general feeling of not quite matching the quality of the upscale brunch spot implied by their modern logo. Menus...I normally don't comment on the menu itself but our table featured no less than 4 different menus...the regular menu, a drink menu, a specials menu and a mimosas menu...choices are wonderful, but the immediate reaction is this is a whole mess of menus on the table, and I don't know what to look at first. It felt haphazard. Let's move on to the coffee...Coffee is an essential part of the brunch experience. Even at a diner, you want it to be strong...the mug it came in was nice, but it was weak coffee. I need coffee to kick my butt, and if you're serving what's close to "browned water" at a breakfast place, you're missing the mark. How about the food? I can't fault them for the generosity of the portions, but will say individual dishes were way too much for my wife and I...we wish smaller portions were available, so so much didn't go to waste. My wife had the Egg and Waffle sandwich with waffle fries. It was fine. I had the Harvest Hash made with egg whites...the eggs were a little overcooked. (Egg whites require a thoughtful touch when cooking them so they are finished white and not browning all over.) There are plenty of fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers in there (I guess that's the extent of the harvest in Milwaukee) The hashbrowns it all sat on were undercooked. We were excited about the croissant beignets...Available were the regular ones with chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce, and a special with a fruit dipping sauce. They couldn't mix and match sauces, so we got the special. They were okay but a bit over-fried, losing the croissant texture altogether ...I mean, there's nothing wrong with deep-fried dough with sweet things to dip them in, but we do wish they hadn't fried the croissant out of them to give us the unique experience implied by the name. The menu has plenty to choose from...every breakfast savory or sweet thing you could imagine...and on the nicely designed, modern-looking menu at looks like it could be amazing...but everything we got, plus the experience of sitting in a place that felt a little rundown, left us overall disappointed.
