I was walking around initially to find a bathroom and came across this cafe! The interior is like no other. It felt like walking into a home. The matcha latte I ordered was made right on the spot and had a lovely gradient. I want to come here again to try the other foods! Service was thoughtful and kind. There were also other crafts and accessories that were being sold. The warm welcome to dogs was much appreciated as well. God bless you all!

Nestled in a suite next door to a wellness boutique in the Bird Rock neighborhood, you will find Honey Cafe. It's a cozy little space run by a local couple. The decor was very simple with a surfboard hanging on one of the walls. The menus behind the service counter were written on butcher paper rolls while a couple of other chalkboards hung to the side and front of the counter. Flatbread, sandwiches, salads, omelettes, and paninis were the food offerings. Coffee, tea, smoothies, and vitamix juices were the beverage choices. Since I had finished a meal elsewhere, I decided to just order one of the seven smoothies. The Rock Smoothie was made up of peaches, banana, yogurt, milk, and honey. The blend was whipped up quickly and tasted fine. My issue was the price for the 16 oz serving size. All of the smoothies were either $11 or $12. The volume needed to be at least 50% more to match some of the local shops less than a couple of miles away where at one place, a 24 oz product cost less than $10. Other than that, the service was cordial, and I would return to try one of the eight different omelettes.

Phenomenal phenomenal coffee and pastries, lots of middle eastern/Turkish flavors. Great variety and great service. Highly recommend this place. Also have cute stuff for dogs, and the whole decor and atmosphere is beyond amazing.

Beautiful space and incredibly friendly service (from the owner, Çem). We were walking in the area after a stroll by the beach, and the sandwich board on the curb, with promises of Turkish Breakfast, drew us in. The interior of the shop is bright and airy, and the menu is equally inviting. Çem couldn't have been friendly or more welcoming (and shared the various stories of his rescue pets, photos of which are featured prominently in the cafe). We opted for a zucchini omelette, which was fresh and flavorful, and topped with sprigs of dills and dashes of feta. Yum. We'd already had coffee earlier in the morning otherwise we would've downed a Turkish coffee...and been wired through the afternoon. Çem mentioned that his mother-in-law would be visiting soon, and would teach him and his wife how to make traditional borekas. Can't wait to stop back and try those out, especially with patliçan (eggplant). Teşekkür, Çem!

We came in to get a quick bite and some coffee before hitting the beach and this place was great! Cute birds on the patio, an adorable shop golden retriever, and a delicious maple latte. Thank you!

The cafe is very cute and aesthetic , it looks family owned . I went on Presidents' Day , and the owners kids were all there, their toys were on the ground . I think the kids were there because there was no school . They were touching the pastries , which I found a bit gross since I had just ordered a croissant . The croissant tasted like a Costco one ,definitely not baked there . The barista was a bit frustrated managing the cafe orders and her kids . Very unpleasant experience .

Salmon Bagel

Cute and cozy cafe with a relaxed ambiance. Tried the salmon bagel which was really good with an iced Americano. Ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Very friendly owner with great customer service. Will definitely be returning when in the area, highly recommend.

This place is the sweetest. The owner (I believe) is so kind and thoughtful, my boyfriend and I decided to enjoy our coffees and breakfast in house. They really put effort into how they serve every drink and even something as simple as a croissant. I may need to know where they get their coffee cups and plating! Anyway 10/10 it's so cute here.

This place is so cute and charming! The food is homemade and they offer a few specialty Turkish options. There's plenty of seating inside or outside by the parakeets. There's food, coffee and service are all wonderful and it's very dog friendly as well.

Seçil D.

With the owners' friendliness and the beautiful design of the place, I think this is the best spot around for coffee and smoothies. Also, don't leave without trying the chickpea salad -- it's incredibly delicious!

Mango matcha

I adore this place! It's family run and they are so sweet, feels like they're making you a homemade meal. The cashier always takes time to make suggestions which is how I discovered the mango matcha! The spinach feta sandwich is my other favorite. If it's the weekend there will be a wait but it's worth it and you can just relax inside or on the patio (usually accompanied by pups or the resident parakeets!).

A hidden gem in La Jolla! Honey Cafe & Store is a place you won't want to miss with great customer service approach. Their Turkish breakfast is a true "Turkish Delight. Vibrant, authentic, and bursting with fresh flavors. The Börek, their signature stuffed pastries, are a standout--crispy, golden layers filled with savory perfection. And if smoothies are your thing, this spot has some of the finest in town: refreshingly smooth, full of natural taste, and blended to perfection. Whether you're in the mood for a relaxed breakfast or just grabbing something on the go, Honey Cafe offers a warm, welcoming vibe and memorable eats. Definitely a must-try!

This was a lovely corner spot, perfect for a quick sweet OR savory treat! They had a large menu of smoothies, salads, omelets, flatbreads, sandwiches, paninis, juices and much more to choose from. Extremely warm and welcoming environment and I was in love with the decor. Service was amazing, kind and quick, and knowledgeable about options. Absolutely would recommend!!

Really delicious food but the portions are so tiny! So just a fair warning. Quite busy on a Friday…read morenight but we luckily made reservations and got seated maybe ~10 minutes after checking in. Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

Overview: 3.5/5 food hit or miss, service phenomenal, atmosphere beautiful…read more ---- Wednesday is all day happy hour! We got a large variety of dishes at a fraction of their usual price. The happy hour stand outs for me were the: - lamb meatballs $12 - this was the unanimous favorite amongst us, the flavors and juiciness of the meat was great ($4 per ball) - pork belly bao buns 3 for $16 - succulent and tender meat that basically melts in your mouth bc the fat in the best way, and the buns were super soft as well I enjoyed the flavor "crispy" brussel sprouts $10 but the texture was no where near crispy, they were cooked thoroughly but kinda mushy. The steak $25 was ordered as medium rare and was a bit too rare for our liking. But the fries were nice and crispy. The worst thing about the meal was the mac and cheese $8. We all tried it and agreed that it had issues with it being bland and having no depth of flavor, and the cornflake crumble tasted like old oil and stale cereal. Everyone's least favorite item of the night. ---- Notes: - we sat inside and there's not much air flow, it got pretty stuffy and hot during our meal - service was very attentive and charismatic, Dalton did a great job helping with allergy concerns - They were kind enough to split the bill in 3 but unfortunately charged me for an extra beer and I didn't notice it until after we had left - parking was okay, able to find paid street parking around the area ---- Overall: I reallyyyy wanted to like this place more, and I will probably give it another chance in the future bc I see such great potential. The food was just inconsistent btwn dishes with some being amazing and others subpar. If you want to try this place out definitely go on a Wednesday for their all-day happy hour bc their food at their regular prices wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

We said we would wait for water but it never came around and they never checked up on it. I ordered the sampler that came with chilaquiles, beans, huevos rancheros, and corn tamal. When I ordered it, the server asked "and what would you like for your meat?" Her wording made it sound as if there was a protein that came with the chilaquiles. I was caught off guard at the end of the meal when I saw that there was a hefty (for the small portion) additional charge for the tough and flavorless carne asada. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but I think it would be better phrased as, "would you like to add protein?" for it to be less ambiguous. Nobody likes to be surprised with a higher bill than expected. I did not think the chilaquiles lived up its claim to be the best. It was pretty good, but the carne asada actually hindered it rather than helped it. Definitely get something else if you want to add protein to your dish. I was unhappy with the level of service, and the price didn't match the quality of the food. There are so many better spots in SD for Mexican food.

Thank goodness there was room too, because wow oh wow. It has been three weeks and we keep talking about that happy hour. LOL I appreciated that their happy hour menu wasn't all snackable appetizers; there were smaller-sized dishes for those less hungry, too! I ordered the Kiwilango slider + fries, my mom got the HH fish & chips, and my dad got the wagyu smash slider. Plus $10 beers, of course. Everything came out quickly and beautifully portioned, which made getting dessert (magpie ice cream cake) a no brainer. Delicious!!! I didn't stray into their full Kiwi-based dinner menu, but I can fully vouch for their happy hour, the cozy, charming vibes, kind and attentive servers, and flavorful dishes. Would absolutely recommend and will be coming back next time I'm in town!

Sausage rolls were an absolute must. My only gripe was that it seemed like it was a bit understaffed for brunch on a Friday morning. There was only one waitress that we could see. Also the prices are quite high with additional protein options varying by dish rather than a generic price. For example, to add a protein to "The Cure" dish, it was only $3 but to add it to the French toast, it was an additional $7. Made no sense. Also the mandatory 4% credit card fee at a restaurant felt a bit tacky considering how much you're already spending on the meal. Overall, I'd still probably come back again but with cash.
