We were in the area and wanted to try a new place out, so we decided to visit Honeycomb Cafe! Located right in Savin Hill, by the train station stop, is this lovely cafe that offers a good selection of different sandwiches, bagels, & drinks. What we ordered: -Italian Stallion -Let Them Eat Steak -Caramel iced coffee Thoughts: The caramel iced coffee was okay, a little more watery tasting than I usually like but not bad. Both the Italian Stallion and Let Them Eat Steak sandwiches had good fillings. We wished that they incorporated some type of spread like mayo because we found our sandwiches to be dry. Made it a slightly difficult to finish, however, we were able to get some mayo (made in house btw!) and that definitely helped! The staff was very kind & helpful + they were playing some jammin' music. Would come back again. read more

Nice little gem in Savin hill, first time in and the staff was super nice and inviting. Cute spot, locals seem to pop in all the time. We grabbed a coffee for the lady, The Italian stallion and let them eat steak. Both sandwiches were good imo, breads, I went with the recommended selection by the staff on the steak sandwich. Was debating an everything bagel. I wasn't disappointed. Only two critiques for me, maybe some cheese would help it from being too dry. The nice staff did offer their homemade mayo and it was great! Helped a lot. Without it, I wouldn't have finished my meal. Saw a lot of cute dogs while eating in the window seating! Will be back read more

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop! We stopped in for a quick breakfast and were so glad we did. We got two large coffees--one of them a quad shot!--along with a frittata sandwich (which was incredible--perfectly savory and super filling), a toasted bagel with upgraded herb cream cheese, and a grilled cheese. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and we left feeling full and happy. The vibe inside is exactly what you'd want from a local coffee spot--relaxed, inviting, and stylish without being over the top. The employees were all genuinely kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. We spent about $30, including a few upgrades, and it was well worth it. Definitely recommend stopping by for a quality breakfast and great coffee to start your day! read more

Not bad! It's a cute spot near the Savin hill T stop. They're open for breakfast and lunch. There isn't much seating inside so it's best to take anything to go. The cashier was nice and my order came out pretty quickly. I ordered an ice coffee and the Phoenix. The coffee was alright and the sandwich was good. If you're looking for a quick bite to go and you're in the Savin hill area check it out! read more

They have a welcoming outside and a very cute inside. The staff is nice even when it's busy. The sandwich's are the pull for me. The bread is always good and I always leave happy. The prices are fair but they could do more with the filling of the sandwiches read more

Honeycomb Cafe - Italian Stallion Lox bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Outstanding local café serving coffee, tea, smoothies, and sandwiches. All ingredients and foods served are locally sourced, farm to table. Breakfast sandwiches are amongst the best I've ever tasted. North Country Smokehouse bacon, fresh egg, cheese, and numerous additional options prepared on a locally baked bread or bread variant. Delicious AF. read more

Got the Phoenix sandwich, tasted great! Service was good and quick. Also got the matcha but that was a little underwhelming honestly just tasted like milk. Would come back for food though. read more

Awesome coffee shop. Great coffee, yummy food, super pleasant service. Interior is small but cost. read more

I would really like to make this a regular stop since it's so cute inside and the people at the counter have always been so friendly to me. Unfortunately I've been a few times now and the coffee is always watered down and weak. The breakfast sandwiches also tend to leave you wanting more, I would love if they improved the quality a bit because everything else about this shop is so great! read more

Cute Place but Im still hungry. Bad cross section Maybe all the other stuff is better read more

Honeycomb Cafe is 100% hit or miss. The very first time I visited, it was stellar! The cashier made me feel so welcome and was super friendly. She made recommendations and we chatted like neighbors do; job well done to her! The second time we ordered smoothies and were told they were outta straws after they processed our payment. Very annoying, but not a total dealbreaker though we waited quite some time before returning because of this faux pas. Third and fourth visits, the cashiers barely spoke. No greeting. 100% transactional, which I don't expect from local spots. It feels like their kindness is exclusively reserved and exercised for regulars, which is a bummer. Smoothies -- good, but overpriced for what you get. 16oz in a styrofoam cup? Hmm.. Food -- I love the avocado toast. And my sister has been satisfied with the BLT. read more

I've unfortunately found myself here, after multiple occasions of Honeycomb's horrible display of customer service. I live right around the corner and order there online, often... more often than McKennas. One would think a local, neighborhood café would value local customers and treat them to return. They threw my food out (that was already paid for ~$22) when I showed up 2 minutes after close w/ NO refund, offering modifications one day and refusing them the next, and sternly told to not call in to their establishment, as it makes it hard for them to "handle the crowd". I have been in the service industry for 5+ and hate reviews written out of spite or taken out of context, but this is well deserved. I will not be giving them anymore of my business and hope to spare others from the unacceptable customer service I've experienced. read more

Overall the service here and the speed of service was great! Super cute small place inside, in a cute little downtown area. My partner got the bird is the word which was overall a good Sammy. However, I got the pop it lox it drop it and it wasn't necessarily as described. I was kinda bummed it didn't come with the scallion dill cream cheese as the menu stated, instead there was a LOT of plain cream cheese. The lox sandwich was just ok. I'd come back to give them another try as it could've just been an off day. read more

Was on the hunt for a BEC and found this place. Super small on the inside not really a sit down place but is homey w gag decor. Ordered the Breakfast sandwhich (BEC) on an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese (pro tip). Came out super quick. My friends ordered variations of the breakfast sandwhich and didn't have their socks knocked off. It's not the greatest BEC i've ever had but it was quality. They were dissatisfied with the egg ratio whereas I didn't mind it at all. The everything bagel tasted real not manufactured. Not sure if they make them in house but that's a hearty bagel. Overall no complaints on my end- pleasant experience. Jalapeño cream cheese is bomb btw read more

This is the cutest little neighborhood coffee shop ever! I'm skeptical about cat people, but for Honeycomb Cafe, I'll make an exception ;) ! From the moment I came in, I wanted to order something off of the menu. Instead, I chose a plain hot coffee to start my morning. After all, when you're in Boston, you have to pick your food choices wisely! I will certainly return for a full meal! read more

The worst customer service you can find in town. I was trying to get a coffee takeout today, but I was out with my dog. There is no obvious sign indicating dogs are not allowed in the cafe. I wasn't trying go into the cafe with him, I just wanted to open the door, place my order and tight my dog at the door so I can pay. The moment I opened their door, the woman works there today immediately yelled at me "Dogs are not allowed in here" with a bad attitude. What if this was someone with their service dog? I will never go back to this place ever again. read more

Listen. Lara et al a Honeycomb Cafe are doing it right. They know where their ingredients come from. They support local business partners. They have been adapting to the realities of covid since day 1. The food and coffee are fresh and delicious! I really love their multi-seed bagels. Super chewy and flavorful. You can order ahead or in-person, they'll do it right by you. Tips for a successful visit: 1) tip well 2) do not steal their tip jar read more

Stopped here when we came to drop my kid at the University nearby . Parking problem as there is only street parking and the streets are small . Small shop, welcoming hosts , very clean , Decent menu with coffee, tea, smoothie varieties . I ordered some lattes and it was good ! They make hot and cold sandwiches and the menu is small but decent variety . The hot caprese panini was very tasty and my husband enjoyed it . Will definitely recommend folks to stop by if driving through that area . read more

We got two cold brews and split a bagel sandwich. The coffees were very good, smooth but not too weak. Bagel sandwich was amazing best I've had in a while. We added a cream cheese which made it tasty. Service was very friendly and quick. It was a small shop so mostly to go but would recommend. read more

The Italian stallion sandwich was really mediocre, but maybe the drinks are okay? Please also note that there's not much seating inside (only enough for 7-8 people at a time) read more

Honeycomb has been one of my favorite cafes in Savin hill! The chai lattes are amazing and you can't go wrong with any of the food. I recommend the smoked lox bagel and a regular bacon egg and cheese with a croissant. read more

I've tried so hard to love this place. I came back three distinct times for three different things to taste their range. Each time, I was disappointed in the customer service and the drinks itself. The first time I went, the employee was dry and unfriendly. The second time, a different employee was outright rude and short. Both interactions were just transactions. The iced coffees we ordered were very watered down. They are also served in styrofoam cups which isn't all that glamorous (reminds me a bit of pool concession stands), but certainly not a deal breaker! When I came back recently, the matte latte I ordered, didn't have properly foamed milk and was served luke warm. It just seems like all around this place isn't "doing it with love." There isn't much seating inside, but the location and parking is pretty good. The menu is extensive too, especially for food! If you're not a picky coffee drinker, maybe try this place out. read more

Cute little cafe right in Savin Hill! Stopped in here for lunch one afternoon and I ordered their Grill Cheese on Wheat! Delish! I had to ask what cheese they used because it was probably one of the best Grilled Cheeses I've had in awhile and they told me Cabot cheddar...yummy! If you are ever in the area, definitely stop in here for a quick coffee, pastry or sandwich. Also located steps away from the Savin Hill train station, another bonus! And, there are some very cool restaurants around if you are looking to grab a drink (Ghost Pepper, Savin Hill Kitchen and Bar). read more

Honeycomb Cafe - Absolutely Delicious !!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This adorable little place was a 5 minute walk from my Air B n B and right next to the Savin Hill station I took into the city daily. I made sure to stop in in multiple attempts for breakfast and coffee for convenience sake and to help support this business. The staff were great, the location was great, and the café itself has a nice variety of coffees and food available, it just wasn't good...like at all. The coffee and I tried 3-4 times was just bad, bitter and tasted burned. The food all looked good but was just meh throughout. I had a bacon egg and cheese on onion bagel and it was so dry I had to literally stop at another store to get ketchup to add some moisture to this thing. I tried several other sandwiches, croissants, and muffins and again just meh, not great. I don't mean to be mean because I really truly wanted this place to shine! That's why I visited like 5x in one week of being in Boston but man how disappointing. read more

Great place in Dorchester. Quick food if you're on the go. Good selection with friendly servers. I had a Let Them Eat Steak. It was a solid roast beef sandwich. Very tasty and definitely recommend. If you're on the go and want solid food definitely check out Honeycomb Cafe. read more

The cutest little cafe with such a community vibe! Everyone knows each other and everything is high quality. They have breakfast and lunch food too. It's small, so if you're looking to do work or sit down, you might luck out with a bar seat. I did and I enjoyed doing work from here. read more

I have enjoyed going here until today. The last time I went they forgot to give the pastry that I paid for. I called a few times and left a voicemail that day, to ask for a refund. I did not receive a call back. Today when I returned, I let them know and the lady who I spoke to on the phone gave a big attitude about correcting the mistake. I understand time had passed but an attitude was not necessary or appreciated. Not sure if we will be back. Good food though. read more

Went there this morning with my granddaughter and my friend. Was there at 8 AM, they were already busy but very gracious and efficient. My friend got the salmon and lox sandwich, I got that egg sandwich and my granddaughter got a bagel with cream cheese, everything was great. My friend and I had coffee and granddaughter had hot chocolate, again, all great. Highly recommend. read more

This little place is going strong despite the crazy world we're living in! We picked up a couple of sandwiches to take on a picnic this weekend when we needed to escape the house. I got a super yummy BLT and my husband tried the Phoenix and loved it! Can't wait to come back for a breakfast date sometime as the inside looks super cute! read more

Honeycomb Cafe - OTB BLT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Great place, right next to the Savin Hill T stop on the Red Line, in what appears (to an outsider) to be an up and coming part of town. They seem to have a lot of regulars, which is always a good sign! Fair prices (as of now) - $4.50 Avocado Toast for the wife, a $10 bagel & lox sandwich for me, and $2.75 espresso shots that are legit and way better than the Nespresso I use at home. I've been there a few times now and they do seem to sell out of things as the day progresses (as many smaller / fresh based places do) ... so arrive early, or roll the dice that they still have what you want. Open at 7 on weekdays and 8 on weekends, it's a great option for something delicious in the morning. If I could change one thing, it would be to add capers to the Bagel & Lox sandwich, and to add a proper Everything bagel to the mix ... but a small personal preference complaint isn't worth dinging a star. Check them out! read more

Food was good but they omitted my breakfast sandwich add on, which was $3 extra, from an already pricy and smaller breakfast sandwich. Tough

The coffee, food and staff here are amazing! Such friendly and quick service. The iced mocha is my go to, and the Italian sandwich is amazing!! read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in Savin hill. They have an amazing breakfast sandwich, great coffee, smoothie and tea options and their lunch sandwiches are delicious also. The customer service is great! Highly recommend! read more

The service in this cafe is generally lacking. There is one particular female employee who is dismissive and rude. Her behavior is so bad that the discomfort is palpable. I've gone back several times to make sure it's not her just having an off day. But each visit for me has been uncomfortable and she acts as if taking my order is a bother. I was willing to overlook the limited menu and average coffee because I wanted to support local, small business. But the visits to this cafe is not worth the headache UPDATE: I have updated this review to show that I appreciate the care and concern that Nicole and Lara, the owners, demonstrated in resolving my concerns. We exchanged pleasant emails that included acknowledgment of my concerns and a promise to improve my future experiences at Honeycomb. As a result, I revisited the cafe this past weekend. While initially feeling a bit anxious about the experience, the staff made my visit worthy and I will return to Honeycomb again. Thank you for being committed to customer care and doing what's right. This level of customer care is what makes buying small and local so valuable. read more
