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!

I’m stumbled across this gem of a shop yesterday while out on my day-off-work errands. The shop is inviting and has many different flavor of honey. They even have honey on the honeycomb…a memory from my childhood, growing up in Michigan with a beekeeping grandfather. I’m so pleased to have a local honey proprietor nearby since it’s not always easy to get to the farmer’s markets and I don’t like buying honey at the grocery store. Andrew’s Honey will be my go-to from this day forward.

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!

The first time I tried your honey at the farmer's market, I really enjoyed it - it was delicious and left a great impression. That’s why I decided to place an online order for delivery. Unfortunately, the package was lost. I reached out to your team expecting a solution, but instead received the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. There was no refund issued, nor was a replacement offered. This was deeply disappointing. A simple resolution could have preserved trust and potentially built a long-term customer relationship. Instead, the way this situation was handled has completely changed my view of your business. I will not be ordering online again - and sadly, I won’t be purchasing in person either. I hope future issues with new customers are handled more thoughtfully.

This place is great! Welcoming and warm. Several options to choose. Leaving a great review to spread the word yet hoping my small honey shop to stay a secret. Andrew, thank you for being in our neighborhood!

We popped in during our trip from the UK and bought some local honey. The greeting was warm and helpful, looking forward to tasting the honey when I get back to the UK. Great to see a local business so focused on the customer.

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 purchased Andrew's honey with comb today at the Union Square Green Market. I'm enjoying it as I write this. It's so rich and slightly dark. This jar has notes of fig and cherry - just magical. His booth had many product choices along with individually identified jars of rooftop/ground hive honey with their neighborhood written on the lids. Plus we had a brief and riveting conversation with Andrew. Couldn't be happier supporting his bees, his business, his non-profit and the communities his bees support. When you're a premiere provider, plus a local-global bee educator & advocate like Andrew, charging more than others for honey is easily worth it to me.

Lots of different types of honey to choose from! We're trying the ginger and vanilla. Another customer in the store said the ginger is great and she also regularly buys the buckwheat. These flavors were $15 each for 8 oz bottle. There is an additional charge if paying by credit card. Definitely recommend checking this store out for yourself or buying some honey as a gift! Just beware there are lots of bees making honey in the store

Very kind folks working there and ready to answer all kinds of questions :) Highly recommend locally sourcing your honey!
