I live nearby and love the idea of a walkable neighborhood coffee shop. Honeybees has so much potential but is missing the mark.
Recommendations to the owners—- 1. Get rid of the stupid, order by screen mechanism. It actually slows down production. I just waited 15minutes for 3 people to order with that thing. You don’t have enough people in the shop to justify this. It also destroys any element of real customer service and face to face contact. People don’t care for it.
2. For the sister company next door, 2nd and Loma. Same advice, where are the servers??? You order at a screen and they serve you your food behind a wall? There is no atmosphere, no music. So much wasted potential.
You could do so much more with the space. Have community events that invite some of the locals. The place feels like a ghost town and a very lazy afterthought of a coffee shop.

I want to like this place but they keep screwing up my orders, so I'm not going back. The location, outdoor seating, menu items are cool. But this is the 2nd time they've given me a latte with all milk and no coffee, and my egg sandwich has shells in it. Frankly it raises questions that if they're paying this little attention to their food prep, where else are they making mistakes. I should have written them off a while ago but kept giving them second chances. This time I'm done. I hope they can get their issues fixed but I will not keep giving them my money and eating their food to find out.

This place has zero atmosphere. Food and drinks were sub-par.

Great tasting lavender drink. Cute little shop.

Ordered 2 coffees and it took over 14 minutes with no other patrons in the store. The Salted Cold brew tasted strongly of cigarettes. The iced coffee tasted beyond watered down. Waste of time and money had to throw both drinks away.

Quiet, a bit outdated inside not great for working / studying limited on outlets. Atmosphere could be better.

39 dollars for 2 soup and sandwich combos. Sandwiches thin. Tomato soup not even filling up the small cup. Thin bread. No crunch. Sandwich tastes great. Not worth the price. Cool looking place. Not cool enough to justify tiny portions and expensive pricing. Disappointing to say the least. Order at the kiosk. So expensive and nobody even takes my order. Sad. Smh. In the picture I hadn't even taken a spoonful of soup. Smh.

I stopped by to get a coffee early in the morning. When I entered, there was no one at the front. When the woman noticed me, she walked towards the counter but gave me a deer-in-the-headlights look before heading back to the back room.
After waiting a few more minutes, she finally came to take my order. She seemed both irritated and confused. I ordered a coffee with espresso and cream. However, I received a cup of black coffee that tasted burnt and had no cream. I watched her make it, and there was no espresso added at all. I feel bad for the person who owns this place because I know good workers are hard to come by.
the restaurant was completely empty so tell me why my order took over 30mins to come out!! i had to ask multiple times where my order was and when it finally came out the woman working on my order wasn’t even wearing gloves. i understand that there’s a sign warning of cross contamination but no gloves while handling food? beyond disgusting and harmful. my iced coffee was mostly ice and a waste of my time and money. do not come here unless you want a food borne illness and to wait for cold food. 0 stars if i could.

As usual, I ordered a smoothie 40 minutes ago, and of course it’s not ready yet. Timeliness is not their thing.

Took over 20 minutes to get our order. Place was almost empty. Two iced lattes, bagel with salmon, turkey breast sandwich. Was almost 50$ total. Can’t really taste the pumpkin spice in the latte, coffee is too strong. Bagel is lopsided, uneven.

I got there, everyone inside already had their food. I ordered a burrito and it took 30 minutes to get it. Multiple groups of people ordered their food after me but got their food before me. When I asked why it took so long I got an answer that made no sense and when I inquired further the girl gave me a look and turned around and walked away. Horrible horrible service.

My favorite freaking place but this lady has left out my fries three times on fries Chris cut did they come with tater tots so how did you eat about anything? I have my sandwich with no side order at all.
