Hello Honey

This was our first time here, and we followed the directions to get in line toward the back. The…read moreline was long, but we weren't deterred. It took an exceptionally long time to get to the front of the line, but once we got there we realized there were only two people working and they were doing the best they could! We realized that with all of the mix-ins they offer, this adds a step and makes the ice cream process more complicated than it needs to be. So, while we enjoyed the options, could definitely be scaled back to make things more efficient. I got pistachio with cookies and cream and whipped cream, friend got guava with cheesecake bites and husband got a salted turtle. Perfect frozen treats for a hot summer day!

The bakery is owned by Chako, and she does such an amazing job with every pastry and dish. I've been getting her cakes for my birthday every year growing up, especially the matcha and strawberry cakes, and they've always been a favorite of mine. Later on, I started bringing new friends here for brunch because they have a hidden café room in the back. It's filled with lots of local artwork that's actually for sale, and the art changes every time I visit, which makes each visit feel a little different. The owner is always so positive, and I really love the energy of the staff. The food is always fresh since everything is made to order. If you're looking for homey, comforting food that isn't too pricey, this is definitely the spot. Nothing overly complicated or extravagant--just authentic, comforting food done well.

First, it's…read morelocated in a really lovely part of Pendleton near a part of Broadway that's permanently closed for pedestrians and outdoor dining, so the ambiance is really nice. The inside of the shop is interesting, with knickknacks and things to look at in every corner- kids would love it for this reason! I immediately noticed that there were no prices on the menu... there were cups displayed on the counter with small/medium/large pricing but it wasn't clear what these cups were for- it looked like shakes. It was very off-putting for me to not know the prices of what I'm ordering, especially with more specialty items like cookie dough or coffee/ice cream creations where I can't predict a standard price. Second, there was only one dairy-free option... a cookies and cream ice cream. While it was tasty, it was my only option and that never feels great to order something because you have to. It also didn't have a description or any info available so I was left wondering what made it nondairy... almond? Coconut? Oil? Of course at a creamy whip type place I'm not going to expect the entire menu to accommodate me, but it's nice when there are at least a couple other options- especially with coffee, it would be easy to have a nondairy milk available or a sorbet/dole whip since they already carry many flavors. I tried a tiny bite of my husband's edible cookie dough and it was delicious! Seemed really sweet though- he could barely finish his side by side because it was so sugary--a good problem to have :)) I think I would go back if I had friends with me or happened to be in the area for Blink or the pool or something, but otherwise I would probably choose somewhere else where I have more options s and I know what I'm going to spend.

The service is great, and the staff is happy to explain the menu. A few things to know before you go. They don't take reservations. It's a waiting list, and you have to be there in person to put your name down, so plan for a wait at busy times. Prices are a bit steep for a bowl of ramen. Customizing your bowl isn't allowed, and there's no takeout. Dishes also sometimes sell out for the night, so go earlier if there's something you really want to try. Worth it for the quality, but set your expectations on price, wait times, and flexibility.

Fancy. Was not expecting I would crave for something sweet lately but I did. And because I had some small creatures coming along they ended up dragging me to this place. They have a huge offering of all sweets and mouthwatering food that I have to prepare my wallet since I am paying for 2 very naughty kids (just kidding). I babysit my aunt's two grandkids so I had them pull me to anywhere they want. And now I just wish my neighborhood has Hello Honey. The inside is very eye-catching with all the bright colors complemented with simple decors. Seats are limited but I and the kids were able to get a spot. The boy ordered a banana honeycomb sundae with a roasted marshmallow. I do not even know how he was able to spot that but yeah. He wanted something with a big one on top. The girl, on the other hand, wanted the cookie waffle sundae. I am just praying they would not make a mess out of themselves while eating their desserts. I had to tell them otherwise, I will be the one eating what they ordered. LOL. I had a brownie sundae for myself. And we kind of ended up enjoying our time here. The kids did not make a mess but the staff is kind enough to give us some tissues in case things went south. Honestly, I thought they would not finish their desserts but I am very glad they did. And wanted to come back here again to buy and try other flavors. I, for one, enjoyed my sundae. Big scoops of sundae plus the brownies are very delicious. IT's well-balanced and the taste is never too sweet. read more
