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!

Sunny Saturday noon. Scant streetside parking. Came by for a quick iced coffee (3.25 small) and grilled cheese (4.5). Great vibes. 8 window-facing seats inside. 2min for coffee, 5min for grilled cheese.

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

a variety of coffee related items on a wall

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

I really like this place. It's a great market where you can find just about everything you need. My…read morefavorite part is the deli, where you can order fresh hot or cold sandwiches. I've never had a bad sandwich from there. I've tried the chopped cheese, steak and cheese, and buffalo chicken sandwiches. I've really enjoyed the chopped cheese and steak and cheese and can say that are favorites for me. I also like grabbing one of their cold-cut sandwiches to take to the beach as an easy snack. I haven't tried anything from the salad or hot bar yet, but it always looks really good. It gets pretty busy, so I'm guessing it's popular for a reason. I also buy my meat and fish there because everything always looks fresh and the quality has been great. The produce I've picked up has always been fresh too. Don't forget their garden section with a great selection for seasonal favorites. It's clean and very organized, so easy to find what you need. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes shopping there even better. If you have not been, you are mission out on a neighborhood gem.

I approached the deli counter to order a sandwich while my sister was elsewhere getting other food. There were multiple employees working behind the counter, and I patiently waited while the customer ahead of me was being assisted. Once that customer was finished, I was next. However, despite several employees being present, not one acknowledged me, asked if I needed assistance, or attempted to take my order. What made the situation particularly uncomfortable was that when my sister, who is considerably lighter-skinned than I am, approached the counter after me, she was immediately acknowledged and assisted. The difference in treatment was impossible for me to ignore. As a darker-skinned Black woman, I am aware that racial bias and colorism can influence everyday interactions, including something as simple as customer service. I cannot speak to the intentions of the employees, but I can certainly speak to my experience and how it made me feel. It was disappointing to stand there, visibly waiting to spend my money, while multiple employees failed to acknowledge my presence, only to watch someone who approached afterward receive immediate service. We ultimately got our food and left without confrontation, but the experience stayed with me. I don't expect preferential treatment. I expect the same basic courtesy and acknowledgment that every paying customer deserves. No customer should have to wonder whether their complexion determines how visible they are to the people serving them.

I loved the banh mi from Ba Le! I ordered the BBQ beef, and it was excellent. From the drizzle of…read morered chili sauce to the fresh veggie garnishes, everything came together for the perfect bite. The bread had just the right amount of crunch - a light crisp on the outside without being too hard or too soft. And they definitely didn't skimp on the meat! I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, which was the perfect complement to the banh mi. It was strong and flavorful without being overly sweet. I came around noon on a Friday, and there was a steady line throughout my time there, but it moved quickly. They also offer other dishes, like vermicelli bowls, which looked delicious. I'll have to try that another time! A great spot for banh mi and Vietnamese food. Will definitely be back!

Not knowing this the first time my husband and I visited Boston (in 2021), Dorchester has a large Vietnamese community (funny thing was we were staying at an Airbnb in this city and had no idea). But later on found out when my husband was looking where to eat for lunch. We ended up loving Ba Le Dorchester so much that we came twice during our visit to Boston. Upon these visits, we ended up ordering: Banh Da Lon, $4 prior to tax- I love these layer jello like cakes. This one has flavors of pandan and coconut. It also had the right amount of sweetness too, by not being too sweet. Banh Mi Dac Biet (Special Combination), $7.01 prior to tax- My husband ended up ordering this sandwich twice (on both of our visits). I am not a big banh mi person so I didn't have any but he really liked it. Banh Cuon, $7.95 prior to tax- Rice rolls are one of my favorite things. We ended up ordering 2 different versions of these (on 2 separate visits). One with the ground pork and mushroom filling that also included slices of Vietnamese pork sausage. But on our second visit, we got an order made with shrimp filling. Portion size is more than plenty for 2 people to share and both were cooked perfectly. Goi Cuon, $6.08 prior to tax- Spring rolls is another favorite Vietnamese dish of mine and so I decided to get these that were filled with shrimp. An order of this came with 3 spring rolls and a large side of peanut sauce. After seeing a baking sheet on the wall with Guy Fieri' face, I found out that Guy Fieri visited this eatery with his son for his show Diners Drive Ins and Dives, which aired on November 15, 2024 Service was friendly and quick on both visits. I love that you can grab some premade items before heading to the register but you can also order them to be made fresh at the register. There is a small seating area towards the opposite side of the register. There is also a clean single toilet, unisex, bathroom in this seating area as well. This eatery takes both credit card and cash as payment. Parking is just along the curb. If you aren't able to find parking, you might be able to park around the corner, where we parked the first time we came. Everything that we had was delicious and would come back here again if visiting Boston.

I cannot believe I didn't try this place sooner. A gem! The…read moreTurf Bagel Sandwich was delicious! I also had my first ever Vietnamese Coffee (prompted by a co-worker's suggestion). I honestly never had a coffee like this before. Best way to describe it other than delicious is it's like a light roast espresso, I didn't need to add anything to it. Warning: I think I'm going to be up for 24 hours now. Very nice atmosphere inside. I see this would be a great meeting spot either socially or to talk business.

Case in point--the turf bagel. I love it so much that sometimes it's hard for me to order anything else. Drinks are a mixed bag for me. Their matcha (hot or iced) is solid, but I always need to sweeten it. The limeade was too bitter for my taste, and the rickey-style drink didn't quite hit my sweetness preference either. Chai (both hot and iced) is nice, but definitely add vanilla. Next on my list to try? The grilled cheese. I've been coming here for years, and the space is not big, but when it gets packed -- good luck. There are barstools facing the window and smaller tables throughout, but navigating the space can be tricky, so I wouldn't call it fully accessible. Still, the atmosphere makes up for a lot--it's got that community café element that I personally love. Overall, Homestead is the kind of place you want to experience for yourself: come for the food (which will always deliver), try the drinks with your own preferences in mind, and soak in the sense of community.
