Andrew's Honey

What is there to say about Andrew and his honey? He is doing such amazing work for our planet, our community and our bees. His local rooftop honey is the perfect remedy to seasonal allergies and he has rooftop beehives all over the city! 1 spoonful of local honey at breakfast is more effective than any allergy medication I have tried - and tastier too! It is so nice to now have an Andrew's Honey shop on the Upper West Side. The woman at the cash register today was very professional and warm and answered customers questions while I took photos. There was no pressure to purchase but of course I was there to stock up for my parents and friends suffering from seasonal allergies right now. I love seeing all the other goodies too- flavored honey sticks, nuts in honey etc., I even have Andrew's book- it is so wonderful to read about urban beekeeping and to follow along his adventures on social media. Fun fact: before I tried Andrew's honey at Union Square Farmer's Market 6-7 years ago I really thought I did not like honey at all- turns out I just don't like ultraprocessed honey. Andrew's honey is delicious and each neighborhood and batch will have a slightly different flavor. If you're lucky enough to run into Andrew, he explains the reason for the variation in flavor and color across seasons and locations! Note: Andrew's Honey no longer offers samples (since Covid) and kindly note, there are no returns once you leave the store (pretty reasonable policy in my opinion) Note: There is a slight cash discount on most items Enjoy!

Truly such a great spot - have long loved Andrew's Honey from the farmers market and was excited to learn of the brick and mortar location. Andrew and his team are friendly, knowledgeable, and just plain cool. The product is great and super unique, too - when I stopped by this week, I got a jar of honey harvested in my neighborhood and another from a favorite neighborhood across town. Highly highly recommend!

Honestly shouldn’t be in business. We went in there and there were just boxes of products sitting everywhere. The person working the shop was clearly annoyed we came in and looked at us like we had two heads when we were shopping for honey vessels. Would have bought other things in there on that trip if the vibes and attitude from the proprietor weren’t so standoffish and rude. Edited to add: what we asked for in the store was “honey jars.” A term you’d think he’d be familiar with. Regardless, based on the plethora of other reviews on the exact topic of the proprietor’s attitude seems I’m more than justified in my read of the situation. Maybe if he cared as much about not being flippant to customers as he does about his Google reviews, this would be a different review. Daring to call someone unreasonable for sensing clearly they are unwelcome in a place of business and promptly leaving is laughable.

We love Andrew and his honey! Local MYC honey farmed on rooftops all over the city, how amazing is that?

Welcome addition to the neighbourhood! Great tasting honey - so many flavours to choose from. Personal favourites are wild raspberry, pine, and linden.

Just bought some beeswax that came straight from the hive! Can’t wait to buy some honey from here too. All great quality products. REPLY - I made chapstick and it turned out amazing!! Been using it since I bought the wax and shared some with friends who also loved it.

I couldn't love this place more if I tried! Andrew is doing such important work for New Yorkers— bees and humans alike. So happy to have his store on the Upper West Side.

A Union Square Greenmarket staple! I have gotten 3 flavors of their honey and have loved every one. I am not sure if I can go back to grocery store honey anymore. The Snowberry and Japanese knotweed are then perfect toppings to my morning yogurt and I just tend to reach for their honey to sweeten anything these days!
