⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kevin
Honey Bear Bakery is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, the warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Then you add the awesome bookstore directly across the sitting area and you have the best oall worlds.…. Coffee, Pastries, Sandwiches, Reading, and more. Their selection of sandwiches, pastries and baked goods is nothing short of spectacular. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and a helpful suggestion. It's clear they take great pride in their work, and it shows in every delicious bite. I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls—they're out of this world! Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or looking to satisfy your sweet tooth with a special treat, Honey Bear Bakery never disappoints. It's the kind of place you can't wait to visit again and again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Catharine Parise
A small and cozy café inside a bookstore, perfect for a quick bite or just a coffee. It’s convenient and ideal for grabbing a pastry while visiting the bookstore.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Phil
First time visit. Quick to place order and get the food/drinks. Lots of yummy pastry options, breakfast items, sandwiches, and salads. The side of bacon was delicious, cooked in maple syrup, very crisp. Pizza bagel was tasty . The iced latte was nice, but I could have used an extra shot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Zoe M
I really like this spot. I was sad to learn there used to be three locations and this is the last one. They have a nice menu variety ranging from breakfast items, lunch, drinks, and pastry both sweet and savory. The prices are also reasonable. Having said that, my croissant sandwich was a little greasy and the chai was too sweet. But the quiche is moist and delicious!
