Wasn't sure what a strudel bar was. Only 1 way to find out. Parking here is pretty awful. Best to get here on foot. The venue consists of 2 outdoor patio areas, and a small indoor area by the bar counter. Staff here really weren't that attentive. Not sure if it was because it was a slow day, but they really dropped the ball on this one. Knock 1 star off. There was no staff presence. Buddy and I saw some groups of potential customers walk in, look around, realize the staff were absent, then walk out. Also saw some groups on the outside do the same thing. We had trouble ordering as well for the same reason. The good news is that beer specials are pretty good. Strudel quality is decent too. They do have some cards and other tabletop games, which is great for socializing. Wouldn't mind coming back, though it wouldn't be my 1st choice if I was in the vicinity.
I am just updating my review. It is $7 tater tots! (Not $7 drink and tater tots.) They have a late night happy hour menu starting at 10 for cheap eats and cheap drinks. But I stand by my $20 game day special with Noel and Leo. One of the best deals in town for a night out. Friday and Saturday they have $5 tequila all day long!
Strudel and beer - what a combo! Pretty unique concept, but fun and intriguing. We got a strawberry cheesecake strudel and beer. The strudel was warmed up and super good. The outside was nice and crispy, and it had a lot of filling. The beer was good too, and went great with the strudel. I like that this spot is open late! It was easy for us to find a spot on the patio.
Great tasting strudel! Piping hot with ice cream or whip cream -- can't go wrong! We got the apple and the strawberry rhubarb. Both delish! The vibe here is cool too. Some outdoor seating with fire pits in the patio. Nice servers too!
A really great Strudel spot closed up just a couple years ago in Chinatown & I cried non-stop! I had passed by Honey Brew Strudel Bar, a few times but never made time to pop in until recently. So glad I did! I really dig the coolness & colour decor of this spot! I've tried a variety of Strudels (baked pastry usually wrapped around fruit) over the years, but find my go-to, to be the Apple Strudel warmed up & always with whip & vanilla ice-cream! Rest my beating heart! If you're unfamiliar with Strudel, I recommend you try all available flavours over time, to find your hearts content! Strudel to me is more of an after main meal dessert, but I have had it for breakfast on occasion. You can remix your Strudel (depending on options availability) & go nuts, by adding Maple Syrup or Nutella as well as jams. If you are wanting to experiment with Strudel, probably best to get it to go, take it home & go crazy! Things can get messy but it's a good mess! Strudel makes my day every time I have it!
Honeybrew is situated on Davie St at the corner of Howe St. It was fully renovated and opened during COVID which is quite an undertaking by the owner Scott B. There is indoor seating and also a large wrap around patio which should be very popular in the warmer months. Honeybrew is a coffee and strudel bar during the day and then a full service bar with several food options in the evening. The baked food options looked great but I did not get a chance to sample them this time around. They do have a Happy Hour from 4-6 each day with drink and food specials. I met with the owner and he explained his vision and the concept of the strudel bar. There is nothing quite like this in the area and I think it will do well, especially with the large outdoor patio in the afternoons and evenings. It was a positive experience and I am happy to recommend Honeybrew if in the area.
I really like the service and the food. This bar is very clean, modern and innovative. They serve both food and drinks (hot beverages and alcohol). The place is cute and has nice pastries. I would say that the leek and parmesan bistro is my favorite so far. They also have a really creative spin on coffee. Try their apple strudel latte. It is like drinking coffee with some apple pie flavors. I was told that they also have a happy hour from 4 to 6 pm. Great place to sit and have food or drinks. Accessible to both customers in the morning and afternoon/evening. Will definitely be back to try other menu items.
Looking for some dessert and the idea of Honeybrew including a strudel bar was interesting. The strawberry rhubarb strudel was really good - not too sweet and served warm. We ordered a pear cider, which was really tasty. This place has other foods and has a nice outdoor area with heaters and fire pits. This is nice place for drinks and a little dessert.
Finally a fun hip groovy location that sells something other then donuts and cookies. I absolutely love their concept of cool lounge cafe by day and groovy hangout cocktail spot by evening. The interior has a modern groovy vibe look with a warm welcoming feeling and an amazing outdoor patio (COVID friendly lounge). When the sun goes down the inside transforms into a 70s psychedelic vibe with neon lights. Very chill and cool place to unwind with family or friends. When I visited I got to experience both during the day and at night. The baristas and bartenders were friendly and attentive, which is hard to find these days. My first visit I tried the apple and blueberry strudels and let me tell you the apple one was by far the best. The price is expensive at $6 a strudel, and I did notice that they are different sizes; some small then others. They also require a vaccine passport if you are to stay, but not if you grab and go.
Interesting place downtown that's a mix between a cafe/bar. It's a fun place to visit but I'm honestly a little bit confused by their design and I'm not sure what the correct time to visit is... nevertheless, they have a nice selection of strudels (as you'd expect) with many drink options and other pastries. The strudels are really good heated up. Super flakey and delicious. Also really recommend the apple strudel latte. I didn't expect much and thought it would be overwhelmingly sweet but I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste and it wasn't sugary at all. All in all a good place with good service and I have no complaints :)
Very interesting idea. They serve alcohol, they have some interesting food items and some great desserts. We shared a coffee and a peach strudel. Both were excellent! My only complaint would be the vulgar music the was playing - not appropriate!
The missus and I have seldom strayed far from the comfort of Burnaby in the recent months after settling here, so the allure of strudels (something that we've missed devouring since last year when we used to hog on the guava strudels of 85°C in California *droolll*) was the perfect excuse to drive to Vancouver. It was easy enough to find street parking a short distance away from the place, so that took care of one major worry of mine whenever heading to Downtown! True to its name, Honeybrew Strudel Bar is a neat little bar that offers a good selection of yummy strudels along with drinks. We received friendly service from Brandon and Tanya who patiently answered our questions and helped us decide what to order with their recommendations. Tempted by the different options on display, we ended up purchasing some more strudels to please the sweet teeth! We opted for the Strawberry Cheesecake Strudel which was just perfect - flaky, creamy and delicious! We also got the Peach Strudel and the Apple Strudel which we've preserved for brunch on Sunday (if these survive our midnight snacking during the ongoing Australian Open tennis matches, that is!). The Chai Latte was yumm but slightly on the sweeter side - just a reminder that you can request for the sweetness level to be toned down. Highly recommend this place, be it for a quick bite during the day time (they even offer savory quiche and Bistro options!) or for a drink and dessert combo (unusual yet cool!) in the evenings.
Post-Yelp event, I was on the hunt for a casual spot to grab a drink--because why not? This led me on a stroll to Honeybrew Strudel Bar, which, funny enough, I first discovered through another Yelp event. Gotta love the full-circle moments! We were greeted warmly and opted to sit outside since they have heaters and an enclosed patio, making it a cozy spot for people-watching. I ordered the Dulce Muerte, and my husband had the Summer Solstice--we also shared the Baked Taters for a little something to nibble on. Both drinks were yum, but the Summer Solstice was on a different level--how did this taste like a mango lassi?! Creamy, smooth, and downright delicious. The staff was fantastic--super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. Definitely a great little spot to unwind! read more

Pretty cool place and concept. Coffee and bar in 1. Strudel is ordinary, it's phyllo pastry wrapped around some stuffing. Frankly, you can't go wrong with it .. except the pastry was dry and sort of chewy.. And you can't go wrong with apple and cinnamon. read more

I love coming to Honeybrew. From the delicious strudels to cocktails and mocktails, it's always a great time. The atmosphere is always so inviting and the staff are super friendly! I've gone to a Jenga night on Tuesday they had AND they have open mic Sunday AND sometimes even live music. Even in the winter the patio is nice and warm and cozy. The food (besides to die for strudels) is great too! A must try. read more
Very cool funky vibes! They open from 8am to 12am, from a strudel and coffee place during the day to converting into a happy hour/ appy/ bar at night! Their strudels are flaky, warm, sweet and fruity. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I'd love to come and try their shared plates and alcoholic beverages next time! read more

Honeybrew Bar was awesome. Very friendly staff. Can do take-out with the pastries in the window or sit-down on their patio with beautiful, comfy lounge areas surrounding fires closed by glass walls. Gorgeous!! They have appetizers, flatbreads, and drinks on the menu too. My family of 5 ordered the Apple strudel, blueberry strudel, and oatmeal cookie to share. DELISH!! Highly recommend. Fun place to hangout with family or friends! Great for tourists like us too. One of a kind place. read more
