We were spending the night in the area and walked over for a morning coffee and maybe a pastry. It's a cute little shop right on the corner with a few indoor seats and a few outdoor seats. We ended up with a large coffee, which was good, and 2 fruit flavored refreshers, which were both good. I had to try the coffee cake, it tasted as good as it looked and was a huge piece. They had several other pastry and sweet options as well. The server was polite and quick with our drinks. If I was in the area I'd stop in again.

This place was so good! Exploring Richmond and I stopped in to try them out - everything was wonderful. The staff were so welcoming and the food is spectacular. The cookies are AMAZING, I love a soft cookie! Ignore the negative reviews, people are down voting because they ordered something that wasn't their preferred style of cookie. I got a peach mango refresher as well, which was so delicious and fresh! I will absolutely have to come back here and try more of their food!

I haven't visited their store location, but my husband and I ordered our wedding cake from here (my mom got us the tasting kit and she said the bakery itself was cute). We ordered a cake with lemon and lavender flavored layer and honey buttercream frosting. It was the most amazing cake I've ever had and I fear I'll never taste a cake that good again. I'm so sad there weren't more leftovers for us to take home because everyone loved it! Our cake was $400 in total and the baker provided the flowers, which was a major plus for us since we weren't sure which flowers were food safe.

My husband and I love Honey Baked Bee, so we decided to go with them for our wedding cake - we could NOT have been more pleased. The cake was beautiful and tasted even better than we hoped. I wish it would let me upload the video taken of our reaction to the first bite, immediate joy. When I tell you there was not a single piece of cake left. After all the warnings we got from people to get a smaller cake because there’s always too much leftover, I’m so happy we ignored them, because people went back for second and thirds. We had a tier of ube, one of earl grey, and one of traditional with blackberry filling. We also got honey chocolate chip cookies and today I had a coworker tell me she is demanding I bring a batch to our work conference in Chicago next week. At the wedding they were gone before I even got one. Our only regret was not hiding more of the cake for ourselves - could not recommend them more highly!

I feel like this spot gets overlooked because it’s further down broad st than some of the other coffee shops and bakeries. Stopped by today with some friends for the first time and we were so pleased! We loved the decor, the staff was extremely kind, and I got a small iced coffee and a brownie, both of which were delicious! I’ll definitely be stopping by again soon to try a refresher!
