The side salad is also perfectly dressed and the arugula gives a nice bitterness to complement the rich quiche - Popovers: best in class. They are known for these and it's clear why. The popovers are fluffy, light, and flakey, and they come with delicious butters. - Scones: really good. I had the cheddar gf scone, and it was savory and soft, with a composition and flavor that was indistinguishable from a flour scone.

I was craving something savory, so I ordered the Pain Bijou, the ham and cheese croissant, and a blueberry muffin. There was a long line, but the food came out quickly once we ordered. This place sells out, and they were already out of a few pastries. I was told I ordered the last ham and cheese croissant at about 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday. We enjoyed the blueberry muffin while we waited. It was filled with huge blueberries and had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was not too heavy and instantly became a favorite. The Pain Bijou was delicious and reminded me of the flavors of a sausage biscuits and gravy breakfast. The ham and cheese croissant was really good, but for two people we probably could have just stuck with the Pain Bijou and the muffin. I look forward to coming back the next time we are in Cayucos.

We tried the butter pecan and honey churro ice cream and the mista gelato and all three were heavenly. The best part was our server who was so friendly, so helpful, and just had the best attitude. He made the visit even more memorable. The candy all looked fresh and fun - amazing considering the extensive selection of gourmet artisan truffles to vintage candy brands of childhood. This is no tourist trap. Locals and visitors, check it out when you're headed to the Cayucos pier.

It had a small, pleasant garden setting around it and overall it was a nice little set-up. My family appreciated the mixed-media decorations inside along the walls. The mocha I ordered was made quickly, and the pastries were the standard fare for a coffee bar. The selection was limited and seemed based on a theme of strawberries: strawberry almond muffins, strawberry croissant, strawberry Danish... I guess that was the ingredient of the day. Overall, a respectable coffee bar, but nothing to make it stand out from others like it... which is fine when all you want is a decent pastry and a good cup of coffee.

"You catch more bees with honey than vinegar" ------------------------------- On our recent stay in the tiny town of Cayucos, my wife needed a little boost of coffee to get her day started off right. She went on Yelp and decided that she wanted to try Honey Girl Cafe. Sounds sweet right? Well, the service we received from here... Left me a bit "salty". Not sure what it was... But the staff seemed very unhappy and acted as if we had just poked their "beehive". C'mon Honey Girl... It's coffee, it was 10am and if you step outside your shop, you can literally see ocean... Why you gotta act like you're the "bee's knees". As far as your Honey Lavender Latte, it was decent... But your service made me want to "make a beeline" to the exit as soon as our drink was ready. If it was up to me, I would have just left as quick as we had walked in... But my Queen Bee wife needed her honey and no crap service from any worker bee was going to change the Queen's mind. Before I wrote this review, I was truly hesitant about even wasting my energy on this place so I decided to do a little further research into the honeycomb. Apparently, according to another Yelp reviewers, The Honey Girl has been naughty in the past and it seems that customer service just isn't their strong suit. Multiple reviews talk about the rude staff and issues arising from behind the counter... So I decided to add a little vinegar (my experience) to the honey pot. All in all, I wasn't impressed with this place and for me to go out of my way to leave a "bad" review means you really left a bad taste in my mouth. How does "Vinegar Girl Cafe" sound? Nah, not as catchy. As for how others customers, locals and tourists alike feel about this place... That's none of my Beeswax!! I Truly hope you have a better experience than mine.

Well this establishment will not see me again. Just look at the pictures of my bagel sandwich. Bagel fell apart. The cucumber was so thick it flew out as I attempted to eat this mess. The cucumber and tomato was close to an inch thick WHY?. No mayo or cream cheese so it was dry. No seasoning which made it bland. Hubby ordered a BLT said it was ok which says a lot. It took them close to 15 minutes to make 2 sandwiches again WHY and to top it off it cost $26 for two sandwiches that I could of and should of made at home and would have been 10 times better and half the price. Lesson learned.

They use to serve GIGANTIC burritos, stuffed to bursting with homemade carnitas and other meats. Well, the crowds were no longer there and there was actually parking available immediately in front of the building. And the building looked like it had experienced some hard times. One man at the cash register taking orders. You could read the menu behind him posted on the wall. Very basic options and the interior seating was at 1950s style linoleum kitchen tables and chairs. Probably bought at a flea market. We were crushed. I had a combo platter of one crispy carnitas taco at $23. Ground beef. Very basic and lacked flavor. Outrageous for over $20. Wife had two enchiladas a la carte, cheese and green at $13. Mush. At least we have our memories and hope that someone will come along to resurrect it into at least something close to what was.

We were lucky enough to snag the last almond croissant, and what a treat it was. The exterior had a sweet, delicate crunch, and with each bite, rich almond filling oozed out for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. It wasn't overloaded with powdered sugar, and the sweetness was just right--indulgent without being overwhelming. I also tried a slice of the salmon and leek quiche. It was light and fluffy while still feeling substantial and satisfying. The combination of savory salmon and sweet leek worked beautifully together. Whether you're starting your morning or looking for a midday pick-me-up, the quiche is a must-try. I was excited to try the house made mango-infused black iced tea, but unfortunately, there was nothing mango flavored about it That said, this bakery is still well worth a visit. Between the pastries and quiche, it is an easy stop to recommend when you're in Morro Bay.
