My husband and I used Honeycomb for our 10/13/24 wedding in Amherst, NH. We worked with Ari and Lauren to select a cake flavor and design. Throughout this process we went to Honeycomb a few times and got coffees and pastries/sandwiches. We've never ordered something that wasn't delicious. When it came to the week leading up to our wedding Lauren was extremely communicative and professional. She even reached out to our florist to coordinate the real flowers being included on our cake. We chose a 3-tiered carrot cake for our fall wedding - when we did our tasting we were SO impressed with the perfect cream cheese frosting and cinnamon-y goodness cake. Our cake turned out to be stunning and delicious (picture below). Our friends and family RAVED about the cake and how amazing it was. Luckily, we got to take some home after the wedding and we've been enjoying it every day since. We cannot recommend Honeycomb enough - fabulous place, delicious food, and even better people working there.

Great little café, very cute inside and a nice space outside, just annoying bees haha. The cookie was awesome as well as the sandwiches and drinks. They also seem to have a nice collection of wine bottles for sale. Another great find! :)

I sat here for a few hours getting some work done on my computer. Pretty loud in the morning but that's what you get at a coffee shop! Coffee and sandwich were delicious!

Honeycomb has just the most delicious food, and such a pleasant vibe! I was looking forward to a breakfast sandwich on one of their biscuits, but they were all out, so the staff recommended it on a salt bagel instead....it was SO good! 😋 Thankful for this gem of a place!

Very charming coffee shop with tasty treats. My husband and son love the gf banana bread. I'm a fan of their raspberry almond bread and cinnamon rolls. Their iced coffee and lattes are great. Loving their homemade vanilla syrup in my iced latte.

Outstanding breakfast in the most adorable, farmhouse chic setting. We ordered the breakfast bowl w Brussels sprouts, the bagel and lox, croissants for the kids and coffee. Bagel seemed house made and tasted great. It was all delicious . Coffee was so good we bought a bag of beans (made by speedway in Plymouth MA I think). We will definitely be back!

The Smoked Salmon was light, delicious, and filling. It was the perfect breakfast with their honey sticks and coffee. Such a cute little breakfast place to visit if you're in Salem for the first time. Thanks!🤟🏼

This was such a cute little cafe in Hamilton. We stopped by for lunch and although it was crowded, we were able to find two seats at the bar area. The iced matcha lattes were very good! The matcha was mixed all the way through. For sandwiches, we got the muffaletta and honeycomb BLT. Both sandwiches were served on focaccia bread. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Honeycomb and will probably come back again.

Honeycomb is such a charming little breakfast/coffee stop. They have a parking lot which is always nice, as well as large shared tables for seating inside. Highly recommend visiting for your next coffee fix!

I love this salt bagel, it was such a good egg sandwich! I was obsessed with the decor and accessories. The location was very busy, but the line moved super fast. I cannot wait to go back for this bagel.

Breakfast sandwiches that will blow your hair back!!!! Get it on a fresh biscuit. Awesome online ordering system and pick up window. Quality abound

We had heard and read the positive comments about there evening pop up on the weekends for dinner when the bakery becomes Enchante'..it's a combo of french bistro meets country inn that specializes in shared tapas style plates. Food is ordered at the counter in courses which are then delivered to your table when ready,nothing was rushed and spread out perfectly.Well executed food for sure! Bread served with honey butter and olive tapenade,country pate with pistachios and pickled vegetables was the best bite if the evening,Uber fresh oysters,salmon crudo and mushroom lasagna with a runny egg was Amazing.friendly staff in a cozy space on the north shore of Boston for the win.

I just adore this little place!! The ambiance is bright and airy, which makes it the perfect place to sip coffee and dream. Weekends get incredibly busy, so lines do get long, but the baristas, cashiers, and cooks get items out promptly. I've had the classic on a salt bagel every time I've come, both with bacon and with sausage. The bacon is crispy, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the egg is clearly fresh. The sausage is spiced well, but I think my personal favorite is with bacon!! Their espresso is delicious! The iced honey latte is so comforting and yummy. Definitely find time to stop here and check out the assortment of fun trinkets, cooking implements, and decor. The weekend is a busy time, so keep that in mind if you want to sit inside and enjoy the ambiance.

Delicious bowl! I also got to try the chicken salad as they did not have the grilled chicken available. Parking was challenging. However, it was worth the wait.

Wild place...there were hornets or bees inside the cafe, on the desserts, and outside where people were eating. They were in the air near everyone, but it seemed like no one minded. It was a cute cafe though so I'd give it another go.

We went to Enchante tonight and had one of the very best meals I have had in forever. The atmosphere is fun and light. The waitresses are amazing and really know their menu so well. The fresh food flavors and presentation were absolutely EXCELLENT! If they were open tomorrow night, we would go back. Thank you for a DELICIOUS AND UNFORGETTABLE meal. We just loved it!

First time in the store today to pickup an online order. Staff member was oddly rude (seems like a trend looking at other reviews) when I asked about an item that was missing from my order. Food is good.

Wish I found this place sooner! Great coffee and baked goods. Ample and varied seating. Other choices besides bakery items and also lunch items. Gourmet feel with a small wine section also.

Finally tried Honeycomb a few weeks ago and it is such a gem. For bakery items, I've only tried the ham and cheese croissant which was delicious. I've also tried a few of their lattes, and so far the iced honey latte is my favorite!

Iwona A.

Yelp
super cute place! they have pastry and food as well. they also have merch that they made with honey that they produced. stuff is pricey but local. inside a place that looks like a house. the servers weren't friendly though, kinda lame.

Cute little place tucked back in the trees. Only been here once, but I imagine it gets quite busy. Ordered takeout on a Saturday morning @9 and the food took 20 minutes. Not bad at all. Takeout orders can be picked up on the left side of the building. There are a few outdoor tables so you can eat there or take your food home. I did not go inside. Ordered the Other One breakfast sandwich on sourdough and the Classic breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. Sandwiches were solid - the ingredients are clearly very fresh (tomatoes, arugula, eggs, etc.), but the shining star was the pastries. Peaches and cream danish was delicious. The cinnamon bun was amazing. Definitely worth sharing besides it was pretty decadent, but so so good. Prices overall were very reasonable in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out!

I can not say enough good things about this cute little cafe! Every coffee I've ever tried is delicious! The staff are always very friendly and offer their favorites to try if you're unsure! My only complaint is that they aren't open everyday!

Time and time again, my significant other and I get less than pleasant staff member interactions. We ordered a coffee with "a splash" of creamer. When it was given to us, we polity said, "I'm sorry, that's too much. Can we get even less creamer?" It was clear that there was too much as it was an inch or so of settled creamer yet to be mixed at the bottom. We were apologetic for even asking for the coffee to be made again...Only to be met with a disgruntled look, a pause of disgust and the comment, "there's barely any in there" which is just rude. We are paying 14$ for two coffees, we should be able to get them made how we prefer. Upon return, the staff member did not make any eye contact, no response to our thank you. Overall distasteful behavior for someone in the service industry. It's a beautiful place with pretty good product. But make sure you give yourself 30+ minutes of waiting for anything you order. Although, it seems to help if you are friends with a staff behind the counter; those patrons seem to get their orders first.

Not amazing but one of the better places around for a sandwich. Recently, they have added a 12% administrative fee to supplement the back of the house. I'm sorry, I have a problem with this then you say you can request it be removed. I t would have been so much better if you had just raised the price of the menu items by 12%...

Outstanding breakfast sandwiches, bakery products, smoothies & beverages. Great service all wrapped in a warm local friendly environment.

Honeycomb is such a solid spot. It had been a while since I had been there, and I felt the urge to stop by last weekend. I got a coffee and a Patatas Bravas Brekkie Bowl; both were great and satisfied my good food cravings :D I am glad they opened up more seating; the cafe was definitely busy when I was there but there were still seats available. I sat at the window counter, which was glorious with the morning sun coming through. I'd also recommend getting your coffee "for here" because the mug it came in was beautiful. Is Honeycomb pricey? Yes, but if you're prepared to spend $10-15 for a nice breakfast, Honeycomb delivers great food every time.

Cute atmosphere but the baked goods were not all that They were dry and average. I was expecting something better with all the great reviews.

Grandpa B.

Yelp
First time customer. Purchased 2 pastries and 1 loaf bread, $18. They were really good. But bottom line...Very good, very popular so busy around lunch time , and very expensive. I would recommend it for others to try but...not the right value for my travel to get there.

Food is delicious but service is not great. I ordered online (paid) and 50 minutes later they still did not have my order ready. I ask again - hello can you please check on my food and one of the employees goes "we are out of that today" ok so you decided to just not tell me that after Waiting there for almost an hour ?!!? I go ok I'll take something else because I'm starving and I get a sandwich. I'm eating the sandwich and he's like "hey I didn't get the payment for the sandwich from you" I literally ordered something 2 dollars more online (paid) and did not receive it why would I pay for the sandwich AND something I did not even receive. The whole take out operation is super sloppy in my opinion it was very confusing and disorganized when I got there.

Yelp
This place was so cute and had delicious food! We went early around 8 and the cinnamon rolls were still warm. This place got busy quick so keep that in mind but it's worth it. Not only is the food yummy but they sell really unique and cute items (decor, books). I'm dying to try their homemade bagels, there's so much to try. I can't wait to come back!

Yelp
Pretty delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches with good prices overall for a more luxurious bakery / coffee shop outside of the city. Coffee was also pretty tasty. Lots of parking but seating was not optimal as many seats were arm chairs / other quirky options with tables that were too low for the seating or not ideal for eating and drinking beverages. I do however think it plays into them wanting to feel like a true neighborhood coffee shop so everyone can socialize and relax in more 'lounge' type chairs and couches. Get some coffee drinks and pastries to go and hit up a park or nice beach near Manchester by the sea a short drive away.

We drove to this cafe to try something new. When we arrived, we were not allowed inside and it was raining out. We weren't allowed to order at the window and were told we had to order from our phones even though we were the only ones standing there. Staff just didn't go out of their way to make the process pleasant. I then asked if I could get lettuce on my sandwich and was told, " we don't allow modifications." For the price, I can't believe they wouldn't give me a piece of lettuce, when other sandwiches have it on them. We tried to peak in ( through the window) to see the decor and the owner pointed her finger as to say, " you're not allowed to." Very strange and unwelcoming. We got back to the car and were honestly like this is the type of place to ask us to move our car since we have already purchased something and not allow us to eat our sandwiches in their lot. I am really disappointing in this place, I really wanted to like it. Lastly, we got a stapled piece of paper to our bag saying they added 12% (which is not a tip) but charged to all orders to pay employees wages. So this was enough to make me say I definitely wont be back. I'm all about fair wages but they put half an egg in my sandwich so I'm sure they are saving money there lol Do better! Be nice. Treat your customers like we are paying patrons and not bothering you! Especially for what you charge. I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Beware!

Everything in this bakery is excellent the cookies the pastries the sandwiches the bread the coffee you can't go wrong with whatever you pick you will not be disappointed owner is a pastry chief

"The Gem of South Hamilton" Alright let me start by saying, I will only choose Starbucks over Honeycomb if the line at Honeycomb is flying out the door OR if Honeycomb is closed. Well, needless to say but this cafe is beautiful. I only drink the drip coffee so I cant speak on the other drinks but the drip coffee is divine to me. Also, the half and half they offer is even more divine. My plain drip with a splash of half and half is something I look forward to every week. Sometimes, when I try to moderate my spending at Honeycomb, I'll take my drip coffee with a $1 jam bite. When I'm more lenient, I'll allow myself to splurge on a baked good item. The sticky toffee pudding bread has been my recent favorite. *added edit comment: all the entrees and baked goods are handmade/homemade/naturally prepared/have an artisan touch/and are or seem like they are made with farm to table ingredients.* So thankful this place exists in the community.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! As a non-meat eater, I am GRATEFUL when a restaurant understands that it's not fair to charge someone the same amount for a sandwich with meat as one without. The fact that my breakfast sandwich was cheaper when I selected the "no meat" option is really appreciated and not something you commonly see! Their food is also so delicious you won't be able to stay away! Thank you Honeycomb for being so great! You never disappoint

Maggie M.

The baked goods are delightful. However the coffee is not great and it used to get a little over crowded some mornings before school

Jenny S.

I love Honeycomb and the food is always amazing however they have to make some front end changes. The service is so so slow and is getting worse. Last week I waited over 30 minutes at 9:30 on a weekday for a bagel sandwich and coffee. This is off putting and will push people away if the slow service continues.

My daughter & I stopped here on a recommendation and so happy we did ! Fantastic service and great food .... Best avocado toast we've ever had and the soft pretzel was sooo good ! We also liked the selection of unique gifts they sold too

I had been wanting to go to this place for a while, the pictures of the establishment look adorable. So my friend and I met there for coffee on a weekday morning. Upon arriving, I realized there was barely any seating. So weird, for a coffee shop to not have many places to sit. There is one large table and a couple of small tables. It seems like they don't utilize their space very well. I had to basically stalk people in order for us to find a place to sit. The atmosphere and decor is definitely adorable & overall the bakery it cute. I wasn't impressed with the food. I got the quiche, which was pretty blah. I also got a scone to go, and it was so dry and just tasted bland. Not sure I would go back.

Kaitlyn S.

Yelp
Honeycomb is delicious they have different quiche everyday and homemade pastry's and desserts. Everything I have tried have been seriously delicious. The only tip I have is to early because things sell out.

Felicia S.

Yelp
Old countryside interiors give this place an in-your-mother's kitchen feel. Food is offered with vintage style silverware as opposed to the wasteful plastic utensils you'll see in other places. I got the Parisien sandwich and my partner got the Short Rib melt sandwich. Both were delicious! Definitely coming back for breakfast and to buy some of their cheeses and prosecco wine sold in-store.

taking off stars bc the price for the quality and quantity for the coffee/drinks is too high. the atmosphere is still pretty nice overall.

Nicole C.

Yelp
Where do I begin? Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The sandwich I ordered was the turkey press and it did not disappoint. Every bite was delicious, it was a bittersweet moment taking my last bite. My coffee was huge (for the price) and I was very impressed with their selection of non-dairy milk options! Lastly, the lemon bar was the best I've had to date, and that is including the ones I make at home! Over all, very reasonably priced, extremely kind and welcoming staff, and a beautiful aesthetic to make things even better! 10/10, would 100% recommend, and I will be back!

The most unfriendly staff, always willing to say "NO" for the simplest of requests. It's why it's worth the trip to go out of your way to avoid going there in the morning to start your day.

Favorite place for coffee/brunch/lunch! The mushroom tart will be the death of my wallet...

Micaela R.

Yelp
way too expensive and and the 12% fee is asinine. I just was asked to pay 8.68 cents for a large coffee and will never return. I've given this place so many chances, between not having anything in stock and running out of food items by 10am, charging ridiculous prices, and having the worst ever hours, this place is such a waste of time.

Hannah W.

Yelp
Love the place and the location. Only good spot in Hamilton, so for locals this has been needed for a while now! Quiches are delicious, though on the small side. They could use some changes to their sizing for coffee - they only have one size for lattes so the hot size is extremely small, but if you order it iced (which I prefer), they fill it with mostly milk because it's only one espresso shot. That would be my biggest complaint, because when you spend over $5 on an iced latte, you shouldn't feel like you are just drinking a cup of milk! Aesthetic is incredible with a warm and inviting farm-house style. Not the best for getting work done as it's always packed and loud. Seating can be an issue as there is mainly one large farm table. Give this place a try.. just don't order an iced latte!!!

Lauren M.

Yelp
Unbelievably expensive and unbelievably slow. I usually avoid for both of these reasons but visited this weekend against better judgement and got a small latte with oat milk. That is it. For $8...sigh.

Alyson S.

Yelp
Food is great, always consistent however I don't recommend buying/giving their gift cards as using one is next to impossible. They urge the use of their online ordering (as they've been doing to go only orders for 2 years) but Toast Tab doesn't accept their gift cards. You're told you need to call to place an order if paying with a gift card but there's no one available to answer the phone. I've called on a number of occasions at all different times and all I ever get is their voicemail. Ive asked at their pick up window how to use a gift card and am just continuously pointed to their unanswered phone.

We're from Arlington, MA which is a bit of a hike to Hamilton, but we love making the trek up for a weekend breakfast. Not only is the cafe itself just adorable in its decorations and style, but the food and coffee is delicious and the staff is exceptionally friendly. The "Other One" sandwich is my favorite, and their chai tea latte is the best one I've ever had. Someday maybe we'll live closer and be able to frequent Honeycomb - that would be a dream.

Jonathan D.

Yelp
Wish it was a bit closer to me but great staff, nice atmosphere and lots of food choices. The breakfast sandwich is good even if you dont get the mayo on it!

nicole r.

Yelp
This bakery is so lovely, and their pastries and baked goods are delicious. If you love croissants, it's better to go earlier in the morning when they are still hot and fresh out of the oven. I can't seem to resist eating at least one salted honey bar each time I visit bc it's just that good, and I haven't come across honey bars until discovering this place. Love the charming exterior/interior design, and I only wish it were bigger since it's sometimes hard to find seating due to its many customers.

Joshua D.

Yelp
Feel pretty embarrassed that I didn't know this place was here until yesterday, and we immediately went over for breakfast this morning. The building is adorable, it was busy and buzzing but not crazy, the staff were great, and most importantly, the food was fantastic. It was also great to see the owner hard at work in the window on a Saturday morning! We got a couple of breakfast sandwiches on biscuits, and they were really excellent. We also got a cinnamon roll, which was fantastic, and a bear claw, which was also very good. Prices are certainly on the higher end, but they're fair for the quality and selection you're getting, and on-par with what you'd see in Boston and Cambridge. Make sure you're there on the early side, they opened at 8am this morning and sold out of biscuits right after we ordered around 9:15!
