In a city filled with coffee, boy was I happy to stumble upon Honeybrains to get my matcha fix. Oat milk was an option for an additional charge and added honey as well. Grabbed a quick matcha to go and to enjoy over at Washington Square Park.
The staffs were friendly. I only ordered a drink, a large lemonade kick; like it's name it has a kick with a spicy taste. Would like to come back and try their food menu. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5
I wish they'd bring this NY chain to LA! The salad was everything I wanted and more. The perfect serving size and mix of greens/toppings. I'm always a bit hesitant when I see that the salad is premade and sitting in a cooler but after trying the salad, it's freshness was nothing to fear. Would get this for lunch at least once a week if I lived nearby. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick and nutritious meal that's also delicious!
My friend raves about this place so I decided to visit. The fast casual is very spacious, bright and has ample seating. It had two places for ordering and picking up orders. I ordered my food a head but I still had to wait a few minutes to get my order. The staff was very friendly and sweet. This one customer was dominated the space without allowing other people to get their order. The server saw me waiting and smiled and said I hope I have a great day. I ordered the chicken and rice. It had good amount of protein and rice but, I thought it had a bit too much spinach. The honey pesto was interesting and I wish I had thought to ask for two sauces because it was tasty. The bowl was big enough for two small meals. I wouldn't recommend saving for later as it didn't re-heat very well. I think it is a good option for people who are looking for a healthy lunch.
I'm torn, I liked what I ordered but the added sauce/dressing really carried the dish. This was the Daily Catch bowl, with a chickpea substitute instead of the default sweet potato. The components of the bowl were nicely prepared and plated nicely. But the dish overall was missing a refining touch. I ended up switching the original sauce I chose for the honey sriracha and I thought it complimented the bowl better.
I thought nothing would ever contend for a place in my heart with the Sweetgreen harvest bowl. People had said before that Honeybrains was a Sweetgreen competitor, and I balked at the notion that anything would even come close. It wasn't until a girl that was exactly my type said she preferred it to Sweetgreen where I decided to give it a real chance. Women truly do run the world. I broke down and tried a chicken + rice bowl subbing Kale for Spinach and Chickpeas for sweet potatoes, obviously. It was fantastic but I still preferred Sweetgreen, or so I thought until yesterday. 5pm on a beautiful Monday I found myself sandwiched between Lafayette and Bowery on Great Jones St, which is quite literally equidistant from Sweetgreen and Honeybrains. 2 people in my internal dialogue started running rampant: "Well Sweetgreen is a bit more of a salad so I think I'm" -- "Yeah but Honeybrains has way more protein and we just had a great workou" -- "True but the sweetgreen dressing is bette" -- "I mean I feel you but those sweet potatoes at honeybrains are objectively fresher and" -- "I'll give you that but we get that piece of bread at Sweetgreen..." This went on for a few minutes with me taking a few steps towards Sweetgreen, then pivoting back towards Honeybrains. I really had to say okay I'm insane I'm just going to go to Honeybrains because I've been to Sweetgreen more. But yeah, keep an eye on this absolute dogfight for the superior healthy fast-casual meal.
Ok, the name of this place kind of threw me off when I was first looking for somewhere to eat, but I read up on the story of how the name came to be and how the food is based entirely on neuroscience. Very cool concept, indeed! While visiting NYC, we did a lot of walking, exploring different parts of the city and of course, looking for good places to eat. I was immediately interested when I started reading the menu here, and even more excited when I saw how good the food looked. I had the Cobb Salad and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the turkey bacon and the egg was perfectly cooked. All the ingredients in the salad were fresh, and it was such a great find in a city filled with pizza, hot dogs and pretzels. I also had a side of the honey and butter, which was really disappointing because the bread was quite dry like it had been sitting out uncovered for a period of time. For almost $8, I expected fresh bread. The butter was really nice, but couldn't save the bread. Perhaps if it had been toasted it would have been better, or probably would've been good earlier in the day. Oh well. I definitely recommend this spot for a nice healthy and delicious meal.
I like the setting of this location. They have booths, tables, and bar seating options, making it a great place to do individual work or meet up with friends. I ate lunch and read here for a bit, and it never got too loud. Food: I got the chicken paillard which was under their brain bowl section on the menu. I honestly was expecting it to look more like a salad with more greens, but regardless, it was still yummy. The chicken was juicy, and underneath the bed of arugula and cabbage there was mashed potatoes which were also delicious. The mashed potatoes had hemp seed and basil which gave it a unique flavor. It also came with a dressing on the side which tasted like some kind of ginger dressing, and that paired really well with the chicken, veggies, and potatoes. Drink: I got the London fog tea which was decent. Nothing too outstanding here outside of a regular London fog tea, but I enjoyed it! Will definitely come back again since it's a quick place to grab a healthy bite to eat or have a casual spot to eat.
Enjoyed this little place for a quick bite for breakfast. I ordered the Avocado Crunch toast with an egg and thought it was perfect. The staff helped answer my questions. I liked the complimentary lemon infused water pitcher that was available. The overall space was clean. No complaints!
Excellent service and really good coffee! I ordered the iced coffee. If you're someone who enjoys coffee, honey and are thinking of trying adaption mushrooms in your coffee, or you already enjoy them, this is a really great place to order them in the city. I love the sunny positive vibe of this cafe. All the employees are so friendly and happy to help. They also have a good menu for food too. I'd give them even more stars if I could!
Normally I absolutely love this place. They have the best drinks in the area. But I had a just okay visit this week. A friend and I stopped by for lunch and sat inside to catch up. I got the BLT sandwich (with no tomatoes). I thought the sandwich was so out of balance. First of all the bread, though tasty, is huge compared to the rest of the sandwich. Half of my bites were just bread, and this was after I buy up the two eggs to try and get the sandwich covered. I was really disappointed by the one piece of turkey bacon on this sandwich. This isn't a cheap sandwich, actually kind of pricey so for that price I would have thought to get at least two pieces. My eggs were also completely overdone, only a little bit of runny yolk in one of the two eggs. Maybe just stick to the rice bowls, my friend loved the one she got!

I went here in the afternoon with my partner as we were starving and was very pleasantly surprised. Firstly, it's impossible not to notice the theme of honey and bees once inside. I think their mission is really cool and love how they highlight fueling your body with ethically sourced, whole ingredients. We ordered and sat down quickly and enjoyed sharing a HB Signature Sandwich and my personal favorite, the Honey and butter toast. The bread on both orders was wonderfully fresh and they do not skimp on the topics/fillings. The honey was such a nice touch on the toast but wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. We left satisfied and feeling healthy. One thing that really stood out to me were the drinks we enjoyed with our food. The Green Tea Refresh was just that - refreshing, and my partner really enjoyed his ginger mango peach infused iced tea. However, I'm disappointed to find when I looked more recently, the honey and butter toast was no longer on the menu but perhaps it rotates. I would come for the food and stay for the drinks as the drink menu is unique and robust. Great spot for a healthy snack, breakfast or lunch! read more

I ordered this drink on the online ordering site. I had expected the rose to be rose concentrate but was surprised when I drank it. This was a strange strawberry matcha drink. It did not taste the freshest as the strawberry was incredibly sour. The pickup was quick and there was ample seating in the restaurant. The next time I visit, I'll likely get another drink or stick with the pastries. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a coffee / tea break in the afternoon from shopping. He got a hot coffee and I got a chai latte. It was good, not the best in my life but I was able to sit and enjoy it. Glad there was the ample seating available as well. read more

Hibiscus sunset tea, get this. Super good and refreshing on a hot summer day, and after walking over 3 miles in nyc touring the city. I saw at least a dozen people carrying This drink, so I knew it had to be amazing, and it was! Perfectly brewed and sweetened with just a bit of honey, it was awesome, highly recommend! read more
What delicious brain food! Everything is made fresh and lots of veggie options to choose from. I especially loved the golden coffee made with tumeric. My friend loved the chicken tikka brain bowl. Lots of salads and snacks as well. There are 2 other locations I know of in the city as well but this was my first time here. The manager Skarlet is awesome! read more

I love this place for a quick healthy snack and take out. It's a wellness cafe that specializes in nutrient dense foods (think whole grains, veggies, omegas and minerals). I come here often when I want something to drink and know it's definitely too late in the day for my third coffee. I love their fruit infused teas, matchas, and juices. For food, I absolutely love their toasts and bowls, namely the honey tahini, honey butter, and dark chocolate ganache praline toast. For savory items their daily catch bowl is my go-to as well as the Atlantic. I feel like most health food restaurants/cafes get a bad rap because for some reason we associate healthy eating with not eating a lot. This place definitely proves this point to be false because I personally find their portion sizes to be decently filling (and I eat quite a lot). If you want something substantial I would recommend their sandwiches. The ones made on their ciabatta roll are quite sizable. I def recc this place for something quick and healthy! read more

I found this brunch place by accident. Their outdoor and indoor design are pretty nice. Their menu has a decent amount of options to choose. It took me ten minutes to eventually decided what to get. Ordered the hot latte with a salad bowl. Healthy and right portion. Spent around $30 which is a normal price in this neighborhood. Pretty lousy environment. I was about to give a a five star. But I found the staff was touching their noise before making a drink. Lost my appetite instantly... read more
