We went to Spring Lake and had to revisit Honey Berry again - we had a great breakfast there before when we visited 2 years ago. We ordered the Brioche French Toast, the Blueberry Pistachio Pancakes, the Mediterranean Omelette with Potatoes and the Applewood Bacon. The French Toast was as amazing as it was before and the Blueberry Pistachio Pancakes were excellent!! Light and fluffy with a great texture; some of the best pancakes we've had! The omelette and bacon were also as good as ever! The Honey Berry is a must if you're visiting Spring Lake! read more

Good food. Enjoyed the arugula omelet and they had a really good taco lunch special. Fantastic service. Definitely recommended. read more

The service was extremely disappointing. We understand that the restaurant was understaffed and that there were only two cooks working, and we tried to be understanding of the situation. However, everyone at our table received their food except for one person, who did not receive their meal until 30 minutes after everyone else had been served. Given the significant delay and the inconvenience it caused, we expected the restaurant to acknowledge the situation in some way--typically, something like removing the delayed item from the bill would be a reasonable gesture of courtesy. Unfortunately, there was no effort to address the inconvenience or show any consideration for the guest who was left waiting. We understand that staffing issues can happen, but the lack of communication and consideration in how the situation was handled made the experience particularly frustrating and disrespectful. The issue was not simply that the food was late; it was how little care was shown afterward. read more

This is a cute cafe in the heart of Spring Lake. I popped in one day for lunch and had a delicious chicken sandwich and crispy fries. It was pretty busy inside, so I opted to sit outside. It was a nice day, and they have a few outdoor tables with umbrellas. My only complaint was that the waitress was unfriendly and seemed like she was rushing me (which was wild because I was there for maybe 35 minutes). Not a big deal, but I probably would've taken my time more if she hadn't kept checking back in to see if I was finished. read more

Cozy, clean and excellent food. Fun menu. Will return. I had the Blueberry Pancakes. They were the best I've ever had/

I want to support all the businesses in Spring Lake, and especially want to like this place, however the service is below standard for such a high-end town. The diet Coke was out and our server complained about being over worked etc. Also seemed like a kitchen problem because the avocado toast was very bad. Basically mashed up half an avocado with no seasoning and put a tomato that was more white than red. $70 for breakfast with that quality is not worth. I'm sure I'll try again because we want to like the place. read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast after a 3 mile walk. Got a table as soon as we walked in, that was great, our server, maybe just not real happy about waiting on tables at this point in her life--I get it. We got our coffee, never asked if we wanted water, nor ever told us the specials. And having been here before, I knew there was something on my Huevos Rancheros I didn't want, so I said 'please no scallions', and she said, "do you want them? if not, then you're not getting them." Awww, such a sweetie! And after we placed the order, I realized it was cilantro I did not want, that the kitchen automatically adds.And it was such fun calling her over to tell her to hold the cilantro. I can't remember when I had a better time! Our food was very good, we only saw her again when we were done and she asked how was everything and if my husband wanted more coffee. Gee, passive aggressive much! If we ever go back, I will change tables before having her as our server again! Go to Marigold, now that's a professional staff with great food!!! read more

Good food and staff. Had breakfast there before we went out on the beach. Top notch breakfast and lunch foods.

Cute cafe with good breakfast options in the downtown Spring Lake area. Ordered the mana mou bowl, avocado toast with a side of bacon, coffee, and orange juice. Everything tasted good. read more

3rd visit of the season and we intend to be a weekly luncheon guest. Food fas been delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. We are stuck on our weekly weekday visits to Spring lake...leisurely lunch around 1:30 always at Honey Berry (we don't want to hold up their prep closing around 3pm). The service is great starting from the greeting to the end. No rush dining. LOVE their nova with whipped cream cheese, tomato, red onion and topped with dill and capers. After a short walk to Faherty and the sweet Kate & Company shop (not to be missed) to browse and buy. Hit the beach from 4-6pm. Loving the vibe of our day with our only lunch spot Honey Berry! read more

Excellent service. Outside seating. Had the cheesy pig. Home fries were great. Crispy and tasty. Not too salty. The sandwich was really good but the bread kind of squished the bacon & eggs and it almost squirted out. Good sandwich Great way to start the weekend. read more

Love this cafe! The food is consistently delicious and spot on- every.time. Sometimes I'm afraid of ordering new things as I don't want to be disappointed and have a bad experience but I must say this place pleasantly surprises me every time - everything I've ordered is made so well and is so delicious (coming from a person who doesn't say the word delicious too often). I usually sit outside and the vibe is exactly what I'm looking for- bright, quiet-ish brunch mornings away from the chaos and tornados that are my kids. The inside of the restaurant is very cute. Restrooms are clean. Service is always great- the staff never forget about you regardless of how busy it gets. I wasn't thinking about it and was going to waste half my latte today but the waitress asked if I wanted a to-go cup for it, which I found to be thoughtful and considerate of her to offer. Today I had to make sure to stop and thank the owner (George) for how special this place is. I wish I could come here everyday- yes, partly to escape my kids but mostly for the food, the service, and everything else this little gem of a place offers. read more

Cute breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in Spring Lake! They have outdoor seating but just a few tables. Food was tasty and menu had many choices. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Not what it used to be. I swear this cafe/ restaurant changed hands. Since that point the quality and well overall experience has declined.. the management is border line rude and presents a less than pleased to see you attitude. Service remains decent and of course you cannot beat the environment. Sorry to see this place lose its magic. ****Note**** New spot directly across the street "Flaherty Sun and Waves" looks promising! Hope Honey Berry uses this opportunity to get back in line. read more

Great hospitality and environment. Highly recommend the Irish omelette. I would add a picture-- but it's all gone! read more

Excellent quaint venue very friendly and food is delicious owner very friendly and helpful

Delicious lunch and excellent service. Homemade tomato bisque was very tasty and the side salad fresh and generous. The homemade Greek cookies are authentic. Servers were helpful and cheerful. We plan to return! read more

Food was good. Service was good and waiter was friendly and helped us decide on what we should order. I had the fig and brie melt with French fries. It was delicious. BF had the cheesy grilled cheese with tomato soup. He enjoyed both. Place was clean, quiet environment. Would go back read more

I love this place! Great food, comfortable ambience, priced properly and nice staff. It's a regular for many people.

Good spot for brunch! Yummy pancakes but wish the corned beef hash had more meat and less potato's

This was our first time having lunch at Honey Berry and it definitely will not be our last. My wife looked at reviews and decided that this was the place to go. We were seated indoors because the outdoor seating was filled. My wife had the beet salad, which was huge. I was surprised that she could finish it. I had the Mediterranean omelet with home fries and toasted rye bread. Our meals were tasty and reasonably priced for a shore resort town. Service was professional and friendly. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and very folksy. I'm glad that my wife suggested the Honey Berry. read more

Great menu for breakfast or lunch. Nice atmosphere and good sized portions. Food was fresh and delicious. Seating indoors and outdoors. Recommend this restaurant read more

Just superb omelettes and salads. Excellent service. And inexpensive! Ask about the authentic Greek pastries. Lovely decor as well. read more

Best coffee and blueberry pancakes with the wild blueberry sauce! Really a treat! Love the winter coupons, too!

We got kicked out of our table because bigger party could fit there, new offered place was right under the sun - very tight and hot. Had to wait for 20 min and finally left. Very unprofessional !!! read more

Had the Jalapeño bowl and Pistachio Blueberry pancakes. Big portion sizes of great food! Might be the best pancakes I've had in NJ, no joke. And the Macadamia Nut Cold Brew coffee is unreal. Definitely will be back! read more

Great breakfast/lunch spot in Spring Lake. It was busy when we came and I liked the vibe in here. The chicken salad sandwich was delicious and the yogurt parfait was also a nice light breakfast. I got the chicken salad on a croissant which is a no brainer! The pancakes are also made light and fluffy. You can get anything you are craving here. It is my go to breakfast spot in the Spring Lake/Belmar area. read more

Have been a regular customer for some time. Was there last weekend and I tried to order my iced decaf that I always get and the waitress said we don't offer iced decaf anymore. I said why and she said we don't have tempered glass and it can explode. I was offered an iced decaf latte that I didn't want. As much as I love the food there I won't be returning because I can only iced coffee. Bummer. read more

Came to Honey Berry (formerly AM Kitchen) for breakfast over the weekend and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere had great vibes! I definitely recommend getting there early as it does get busy! Also, if you're in a hurry, be sure stop in and check out their grab and go items to go with your take out coffee! read more

Super cute morning / lunch cafe! Clean and cute with patio seating options. The food is great! Been twice this summer! The pancakes are unreal; taste like a funnel cake! We always get 2 orders for the babies/table. Highly recommend the Santorini toast with a side of scrambled eggs on top. Iced chai lattes are pretty tasty too! If you want just water to start your day (like I prefer), you have to ask for a normal glass. Otherwise, it comes in a little juice glass. The first time in (a month ago), the service was friendly & quick! The second time (this week), the staff seemed overall annoyed. Might've just caught them at a bad time, not sure. Service was slow. One thing I noticed was the younger employees were wearing their AirPods in one ear and just appeared very unfriendly. The constant AirPod thing with the younger generation is overall unprofessional in my opinion - but hey! At least they're working. Overall, food is delicious. read more

I recently went here for breakfast - it was my second time at Honey Berry. The location of this restaurant is great. Parking is fine. They have a nice menu. The day we went, they didn't have any 1/2 & 1/2 for the coffee. We picked several dishes to try from the menu and split them. The food tasted fine, no big wow factor though. Our server was very nice but some of the other servers don't seem as friendly. Same with the hostess. The hostess came to the back of the restaurant (to seat a table) and a lady had asked the hostess a quick question. The hostess snapped at that lady saying she doesn't work back here, that she works up front. I understand when things are busy it can be stressful but it was a week day and there were empty tables. It wasn't what she said as much as it was how she said it.... read more

Delicious food! Came out quickly and the server was lovely. I'd love to have this place in my hometown.

Went 3 times this past weekend! The watermelon salad was amazing as was the french toast I divulged in twice!!! We happened to be waited on by Lisa E all 3 times! She was so pleasant and attentive. It was nice talking to her each time. read more

Love this place! It's essentially an elevated diner, done very well. Breakfasts, salads, sandwiches. Some are interesting and inventive. My go-to is the Honey Berry Bowl topped with grilled salmon. So healthy, and so delicious! And the coffee is reliably excellent, too. Attentive and friendly service. Located in the charming Spring Lake commercial strip with ample street parking nearby. read more

Not as good as it used to be. Long wait for food, smaller portion, over cooked eggs... Service was excellent, but something is not right with the kitchen. Cook is inexperienced, or they are understaffed? read more

Nice new place with pleasant waitstaff. Ate outside under an umbrella on the sidewalk. Better than average food willing to make substitutions. Almost as good as the former restaurant but not quite there yet... read more

Stopped at the Honeyberry Café for lunch. First time there. Met somebody who was smiling took us right in and put us at a table waitress came right over and asked us what we wanted to drink. We got ice tea with extra lemon and it was delicious. We decided to split a chicken salad with walnuts on a croissant and a Brie, apple and fig grilled cheese. Sandwiches were absolutely delicious. We tried french fries on one and sweet potato fries on the other one love this sweet potato fries. French fries were good too service was excellent. They checked on us. The prices were good. The sandwiches were quite large. highly recommend and we will be back. read more

Had lunch there today. Very friendly service. Food was delicious and very moderately priced
