They also sell fresh croutons and other bagged bread.

I had a bodybuilding competition in Manassas in June and it was close enough that I was willing to drive to pickup my order. Plus I had others I could order with. I ordered 6 cookies (the minimum), a mix of key lime, fluffernutter, chocolate chip and brookie. They were all just so delicious! But my favorite was key lime, which surprised me since I'd never had that flavor in a cookie. It was rich but not overpowering, and left a pleasant aftertaste. Fluffernutter, the one I had after my competition, was also quite tasty (peanut butter and chocolate). I thought it was helpful to browse the Instagram posts with pictures and descriptions of various cookies. The owner was very helpful when I placed my order. I wasn't able to select a time for some reason and when I emailed for help, she responded promptly. She also helped me change the pickup time after I placed my order. I had a lot going on to coordinate pickup, lol. The others who enjoyed the cookies were also raving about how good they were. I hope I get a chance to try them again!

They have created custom cakes for every occasion and so many people have commented on not only how beautiful the cakes were but how tasty they are.

They are a bit distance for us to drive and over the years the price may have increased but I think it's worth it.

Honey Bee Pastries was also reasonably priced for the Washington, D.C. area. We would highly recommend using them for all your catering bakery needs.

For the price of a PB&J, you could buy a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly and make 10 of them. I think they tried to price kids items like adult meals. It was crowded at lunch time, some inside seating, looked like more outside. Parking is in a lot nearby but can fill up. Plenty of drinks and such. Kind of an ordinary deli with comparatively good prices for adult meals when held up against other places in the area.

The young woman working there was polite, patient and friendly. I looked at their selection of cupcakes and noticed some flavors were sold out. Finally, I decided to get one Boston cream pie cupcake and one caramel coffee cupcake. When we got home, we decided to try one of the cupcakes later in the evening. We agreed to share the Boston cream pie cupcake first. I cut it in half. We weren't impressed with this one. There was a small amount of custard in the cake part, while the top was dark chocolate frosting. We've had far better versions of this flavor cupcake in the past. The next night, we tried the caramel coffee one. It had a vanilla cake, which was on the dry side. However, the frosting was the star of the show. The coffee and the caramel flavors were noticeable. This cupcake was the better of the two. We don't regret trying the cupcakes... but... as to whether we would go again... well... the jury is still out.

This place is just stunning...the dining area, stairs with positive messages, the ordering/"shopping", even the bathroom! The service is just exceptional, above and beyond. It was a seameless process to make the reservation online and edit as needed. There were automatic emails and texts for the reservation confirmation and reminder. Each afternoon tea includes 2 pots of tea, 1 macaron/person, and additional bites (savory & sweet). Luckily, there were 2 of us, so we each ordered our own teas. I'm not sure how flexible they are if requesting additional tea pots for larger parties (max 8 people). The weekdays tea is $35/person, weekends $40/person (needs a reservation). There is an 18% gratuity to all the final bill regardless of the number of people in the party. I would highly recommend the Thai tea...I don't add any sugar or cream to my tea and it was still so tasty. I ordered the coconut macaron, which is the newest addition the the macaron family. Parking: there is parallel parking available in front of and around the establishment. There is also a parking garage roughly 1 block (walking distance), which is free on the weekends. If planning a visit on the weekdays, be sure to read the parking signs carefully. I would definitely return to try other items on their menu.
