    Breakfast Sandwich with Ham, Egg, Cheese, and Jam on a Biscuit
    Maggie H.

    Salt & Honey has the best atmosphere, the sweetest staff, an unbeatable playlist, and truly delicious food and coffee. Every visit makes me feel so lucky to have a place like this right here in Waterloo. I highly recommend trying one of their seasonal coffees along with some favorites; the breakfast sandwich with ham & jam, cheesy bacon grits, BLT salad, or the MOCO Club. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's definitely worth a stop the next time you're looking for breakfast, coffee, or a lighter lunch.

    Relaxing, casual place to enjoy a coffee, tea and a nosh, or come for something more substantial from the breakfast lunch menu. Bright, cheery setting. Parking is easy. Comfort in a cup or plate.

    This was a cute little coffee shop in Waterloo, IL recommended by a fellow foodie. I am not a coffee drinker so it was nice to see they had some non-espresso based drinks like matcha, chai tea, etc. they also had a nice selection of pastry items although the muffin I had was not all that great. It seem a little old, it was dry and not very flavorful, so skip the muffins. It was a nice place to sit and work, relax or enjoy nice conversation with a friend. They do have some lunch options, but I only attended here for a quick meeting. The staff was pleasant and friendly and the space was open, spacious and neat and clean. I would definitely go back if I was in the area, but I would skip the muffins.

    High recommend checking out Salt + Honey if you're in the area. The Town and Country lemonade and biscuit sandwich with jam is the perfect way to start the day. They have a beautiful event space, seating area and cozy children's play area. The service has been impeccable during every visit and every employee we've ever encountered has gone out of their way to welcome us, collect our dishes, or recommend a menu item. This place is great to grab and go or stay and enjoy the beautiful space. Tip: Even if they look packed from the outside, don't be alarmed as the food and drinks come out quickly.

    Stopped into Salt & Honey for a quick lunch. Sandwiches & soup for the cold day win! The chick, chicken salad on croissant was good. I like my chickie salad a little more creamy, but the flavors were good. Chicken noodle soup was good, I'd be interested to know if it's homemade. The other sandwich was "the stinger". Roast beef, provolone, banana peppers & horse radish sauce. He said it was pretty good. Said he would've liked a little more meat. You know growing boys and all. Over all, this place is adorable and a great addition to the booming Waterloo restaurants and Main Street. Definitely recommend.

    Coffee? Perfect. Salt + Honey Board? Delicious! Advertised to feed 6-8? I'd have to argue that. It was VERY good though. The service was good and the ambiance was fantastic. Lovely place.

    I got ghosted.

    This place gets a little better each time I stop in. Relaxed morning vibe. Expanded breakfast menu and bakery items. They are now offering fall drink options. You can even get ghosted for $1.

    I thought the food was pretty good. not the best, not the worst cafe food i've had! Service was okay, the coffee machines were very loud so it was hard to hear the cashier. Ambiance is very cute, great wifi cafe to get some work done in for sure!

    They sell merch!

    This is the perfect little cozy coffee brunch joint! When you walk in you are greeted with acoustic music and the smell of fresh brewed coffee. You order at the counter and then seat where you like. They will bring your order to you. We ordered a few items and theg were all tasty! Check this place out if you are near by!

    Bear claw is excellent and they even warm it up for you.

When we arrived, there were a few other customers inside, but it was not too busy. After taking some time to review the menu, we placed our orders at the counter, paid and then found a table upstairs to sit at. The food did not take too long before it was brought over to our table and honestly, it looked so colorful, fresh and tasty. We were all very excited to try our meals and, of course, share with one another. Everything we ordered was just so delicious. The salads were freshly made and the sandwich I ordered was honestly so good. I wanted to eat the whole thing, but it was very filling so I had to take half home with me. Of course, the fries were all eaten since they were hot and just the right amout of crispy. I need to add this spot to my rotation of places whenever I am in need of something fresh and somewhat healthy.

    My husband and I came up for Garlic Fest and walked around town. We found this not-so-hidden gem…read moreand had to go in because of the biscuits and gravy signage outside. This is my husband's favorite breakfast. The biscuits and sausage gravy were amazing, in my husband's expert opinion. ( having consumed this dish almost everywhere) I had 'just avocado toast' (their no egg version) and it was very good. I suspect the bread was freshly baked and not from a commercial bakery. Now let's talk about the important thing. The coffee. They have a coffee, hot or iced called the 'Sweet Bourbon Brew'. I figured I was unlikely to get freshly roasted coffee with bourbon syrup from the nearby distillery anywhere else and went for it. It is AMAZING. I would come back just for this. Now, the restaurant itself. Live music on a Saturday morning. Kitschy, eclectic decor that was obviously quite intentional, and a DOLLY PARTON CORNER that has obviously existed for quite some time. Their motto appears to be a Dolly Parton quote. "If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours". Yes. It's that kind of place. They also seem to be attempting to control their carbon footprint.

    Bourbon Café and Coffee Saloon is a charming little local café with an inviting, homey atmosphere…read morethat makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place you instantly know you'll want to return to. This was our first time here and we were go glad we made the little trip down to Bourbon, MO! We ordered the bacon and egg panini, and it was cooked perfectly. Whatever homemade seasoned butter they use deserves special recognition--it added so much flavor and made an already great sandwich even better. Of course, the dessert case was impossible to ignore. Everything looked incredible, and choosing was no easy task. We finally settled on a pecan brownie and a sea-salt chocolate chip gooey butter cake slice. Both were fantastic, but the gooey butter cake completely stole the show. Hands-down, it was the absolute best gooey butter cake I have ever had--and I've tried many from plenty of bakers over the years. This single slice may have changed my outlook on life. They've set the bar so high that I honestly don't know how anyone else could top it. Warmed up just as the owner suggested, it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection with a tender, flaky crust and incredible flavor. Absolutely phenomenal. We will definitely be back again--and you should go too!
