    Great bakery in northeast Tennessee. These artists know how to sift. Blend and bake.

    Was visiting family in JC last weekend and decided to go to this spot for breakfast because it was down the street from our AirBnB. The bakery is awesome. We had lattes, croissant w/ BEC for breakfast. The vibe was in a cool historic building with several artsy tenants in the same building. Great use of an old building. Really laid back atmosphere. Food was awesome. The service was fast.

    super m.

    Turkey cranberry pesto sandwhich was good. Gluten free vegan blondie was not good but no surprise there. What I like most the atmosphere. Nice high ceilings and I love that local art work is on display.

    When you open the door on North Commerce Street in Johnson City, and begin to stroll down the perfectly lit hallway, lined by small art studios, you know you're entering a special space. Said hallway opens into a small art gallery - Fischman Gallery - where you can browse regional paintings and artwork, as you make your way to this quaint, charming little bakery. The proprietor has done a wonderful job renovating this vintage building, by tapping into her formal arts training while simultaneously preserving the building's unique past. It's apparent the founder has put a lot of thought and care into Lazy Lady's decor and crafting a compelling ambiance. Said creativity and attention to detail carries over to their flavorful pastries and baked goods as well. This small batch artisanal bakery specializes in preparing breads, pastries, and pies, from scratch, while also paying homage to her heritage of home cooking. Hailing from the TRI region, Maren Close, obtained an arts degree from the University of North Carolina-Asheville prior to delving into the culinary arts. Her exploration of all things gastronomic led her to the foodie paradise of San Francisco, where she resided for 6 years, prior to returning to her roots to pursue her entrepreneurial interests. All of the pastries and coffee, on offer, are of the top tier variety. It seems everyone, these days, has cold brew coffee on the menu. The aforementioned abundance of options seldom translates into quality, though. Here at LL, you'll find delicious cold brew that exemplifies the attention to detail that pervades everything your senses encounter at this special establishment. Additionally, I am always greeted with a smile and extremely personable service on each visit. The delicious, decadent pastries on offer, the sense of intentionality and attention to detail that pervade the space, and the VIP level customer service one experiences makes this special bakery a must visit.

    Pastries are high quality and very tasty! It's best to go as soon as they open because things get gone FAST.

    We love Honeybee's!! My mother-in-law has been buying goodies from them for years. When we fly out…read moreto visit her (CA to TN), there are always Honeybee's goodies on the table but I have to admit my Achilles' heel is 100% her dinner rolls. OMG! So delicious and slathered with butter We actually stop on the way to the airport and get at least 2 dozen of Honeybee's rolls for the flight home. We used to get only 1 dozen but I've never made it back to Cali without at least one passenger bartering for a few.. it's become a thing! fresh, buttery rolls on a plane is the adult equivalent to getting to stop at McDonald's for a Happy Meal on the way back to school from a doctors appointment; you're literally king for the day! My favorite barter-to-date is a few visits ago when our group was all separated on the plane. The ladies I was sitting next to ordered me a buffalo chicken wrap and a mimosa in exchange for a dozen of my precious dinner rolls ‍ Long story long, Honeybee's has not only made my visits to Tennessee even more special, they've pulled off making the long flight home fun too! I am for sure a lifelong fan!!! I'm so happy Honeybee's was able to not only survive during the pandemic, but become exceedingly popular! I've met a few of the staff throughout the years and their team is so friendly and dedicated to giving the best of what they do! Congrats, Honeybee's!!

    Quality and taste were amazing! I last minute wanted a special treat for my husband on his birthday…read moreand we both LOVED these! Best cupcakes we've ever had!!! With 2 days notice I was able to score these simply by facebook messaging them to order and arrange a pickup spot that was convenient for us both. I cannot recommend them enough! I will definitely be ordering again!!! Support a local business and give them a try...you'll be repeat customers too!
