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!

Inside of cafe - kids toys all over the ground because they are running around unsupervised .

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 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.

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!

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.

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!!

I was shocked at how much I liked the Lemonem. I will be going back specifically for that, they've…read moregot the recipe down, I finished it in ten mins max. I also tried the beets by Dre and that one was good too, but the lemonem was my favorite! I was only there to pickup, but the inside is spacious and they have some arcade games; I imagine it gets busier on weekends in PB but I had no line when I came in at 730am on a Wednesday!

Retro vibes, free arcade games, and an atmosphere that feels more like a hangout than a restaurant, in a good way. Extra credit for actually letting you play the games instead of just using them as decor. I was not very hungry, so I went with the Arctik Monkey smoothie with peanut butter and chocolate. Straight up delicious and absolutely something I would order again without hesitation. My wife ordered the Feta y Verdes veggie wrap, and even she was surprised by how good it was, which says a lot because she knows her veggies. Fresh, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. Veggie lovers, consider this your official heads up. The arcade lineup is solid too. Pac Man, Mortal Kombat II, The Simpsons, a classic Star Wars Atari cabinet, plus others. Waiting for food did not feel like waiting. It felt like killing time in the best possible way. One quick warning. The hip hop playlist is not radio edited. Totally fine for adults, but if you are bringing kids, just know you might be explaining some lyrics on the drive home. Overall, fun spot, good food, strong throwback energy. I would definitely come back.

Prefacing with - I don't really eat Acai Bowls, it feels like just a thick smoothie with some…read moretoppings but I cannot deny that Juice Wave changed my perspective completely and I understand the hype. You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

I'm a hater, I hate to admit it but I love un influencing these instagram/tik tok famous places. So…read moreoften they end up being a trend based on good marketing tactics which is amazing but good marketing doesn't mean good flavor and good service. In this case yes the bowl was OK was but was no better than the 3 other bowl places within a mile of this location. The wait was LONG as for many of the bowl places on this street but this one was extra long as in 45 minutes to an hour wait on off hours long. And of course with all these tik tok famous places the price was inflated. Based on taste alone I could have given this place 4 starts but the extra tik tok tax(inflated price just for being TikTok trendy) and extra wait time for the exact same thing you can get anywhere else rubbed me wrong so I'm going to have to leave this 3 star right here.

Just like a yogurt place pick a size pick a bade and add your toppings. I recommend to add the Leite Ninho, which is a milk powder. Sounds weird to add that but it's a good addition. Service is on par. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff is always on site. It can get busy at times and you might have to wait but it's well worth it. If time permits, we eat there but normally we take it to go. Great place to sit down and enjoy your açai.

This place is great!…read more The fruit toppings are all fresh and taste amazing. The granola is very nice, not super chunky adding texture throughout the experience with every bite. Made in house peanut butter is very nice as well with great flavor, it's smooth and mixes well with each bowl. My wife got the acai bowl I got the half and half because I wanted to see what this Brazilian super fruit, cupuacu, was all about. Has a lighter tropical refreshing flavor, so there is that option, but the acai also has that standard flavor if you want that more robust and pronounced flavor profile. Both very delicious though. We also got a cold brew with the cold foam. Great flavor from the coffee itself. Nice and bright flavor with some sweetness from the cold foam, very well balanced. The service was amazing too, very kind very friendly, and super knowledgeable about their product. We ate inside and they walked out and did a table touch and even brought us some napkins for the table. The decor and vibes was very relaxing and the building was well lit. Prices are also great, bowls include any or all the toppings that they have available. You pick your side, your base then you can build your own or pick from some of their premade builds. We got two medium size bowls, and a cold brew with cold foam, a little over 40 dollars after a 22% tip.
