    A happy and colorful welcome on a rainy day
    Greg L.

    Delicious, filling breakfast after a stop at the doctor's office. The habanero ham sandwich had a habanero bacon jam that I wish we could buy and bring home! The biscuit was really good and moist enough to not fall apart - some they are so fry that they just crumble into tasteless bits. The Salty Sue was really flavorful- loved the olive cream cheese with the tomato and feta. The focaccia is a two hand sandwich - otherwise it will fall apart

    Finally made it to the Honeycomb Cafe, and I'm really glad I did! I had no idea this place existed, but now I can't wait to go back. It reminds me a lot of St. Joe's in Scarborough, though the portions here are a bit smaller. The space is great -- plenty of indoor seating, outdoor tables, and lots of parking too. You order at the counter, and they call out your number, so don't expect table service. Their breakfast sandwich options are super creative, and everything's under $10! Can't beat that. I tried the Casco Bay, and it was delicious. You could really taste each ingredient. My only regret was not adding an extra egg for just 75 cents. That's another thing I loved about Honeycomb Cafe -- no nickel and diming here. The coffee, including iced coffee, was really affordable, and extras like eggs (even vegan eggs!) are just 75 cents. Much respect!

    wow! such a good place! it's so cute - nestled right on a pond. the staff was very friendly, we were greeted by multiple staff as soon as we entered. our food was amazing and extremely affordable. the french toast was delicious, i loved the filling. their iced matcha latte and cold brew were also surprisingly very good - and not rediculously expensive. they were very accommodating for our special friend who ordered a breakfast burrito with four eggs on the side - looked delicious! all in all, such a great place. we'll be back!

    Stopped in for a winter breakfast and there was just a short wait. The service was great and the moved people through quickly. Ample parking and indoor seating. Went with the savory dishes as they fueled us for the afternoon hike!

    Vegan strawberry donuts.

    Well, this was unexpected! I think I've found a new fave. If you've been sleeping on The Honeycomb Cafe (like me)... YOU. ARE. MISSING. OUT. They offer sandwiches, donuts, drinks, treats, and more. Vibes: we thought it felt like a '90s indie coffee shop that might have started in the '70s and the owners didn't put a ton of effort into updating it and making it cool, but... we loved that. We loved the unpretentiousness, the incredible playlist, and the staff who seemed - I don't know - sincere? And THAT was refreshing; I feel like more people behind the counter are either disengaged or overly enthusiastic. Just be normal. (I had a head cold when I first visited and asked if they could make my food with "extra love"; they doodled little hearts on the tinfoil of our food, and that's adorable.) The Order: 1) the Veganrito (made with vegan eggs, potatoes, peppers and onions, and a house made romesco sauce served in a wrap), 2) Garden Sprout on an everything bagel, no veggie sausage (because I didn't think it was vegan; it's listed specifically as as vegetarian all over their menu, but maybe it's actually vegan?), avocado, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, and chive Tofutti, 3) a large black coffee, 4) two strawberry vegan donuts because we showed-up after noon when donuts are BOGO! The Garden Sprout wasn't for me; the bagel wasn't toasted (maybe that's on me for not specifying?) and the whole thing was VERY wet and messy. But the Veganrito?! THE VEGAN BREAKFAST BURRITO IN GREATER PORTLAND. I haven't had a burrito THAT FILLED in a long time. Easily, eaaaaaaaaasily, it weighed two pounds. No biting into just bready wrap here; you are going to be FULL after this hefty, flavorful, bomb of a burrito. Great for a colder day, great for those really ravenous days, and I'm guessing it would be great cold and leftover. Love that there were hot sauces on the table too! Open Thursday through Tuesday, 7:30am to 3pm, breakfast options are served all day, and you can order online super easily (and stay to enjoy it in the cafe when you arrive to pick it up). I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, folks. You've got a new regular in me now!

    Meat Lover breakfast sandwich

    I loved Honeycomb Cafe and can't wait to go back the next time I'm in the Portland area. We were staying at the clarion and decided to get some coffee and food. Found Honeycomb and so glad we made the 10 min drive from the hotel. My girlfriend and I each got a coffee and sandwich. I got the meat lovers breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño-cheddar biscuit. IT WAS AMAZING. I loved everything about it and eat it too fast because I should have savored it a bit more. Obviously it's not an every day type sandwich but for an indulgent breakfast, you can't beat it! Coffee was really good. They put the sugar in it for you, hand you the cup and you can choose what coffee you want from like 5 or 6 different ones. More intricate drinks like the latte my gf had are made for you. The online ordering went very smoothly and it was ready when I got to the restaurant. The baristas were very nice and so friendly. The cafe was cute and nicely decorated. There were tables in the back that overlooked a small body of water and there was a driving range where you could hit the balls into the water! It was a nice day but we opted to eat on the road, so I'm gonna have to sit outside next time. Thanks Honeycomb Cafe, I'll be back!

    Small and cozy! Food is great. Staff is very polite. Many options on the menu with Breakfast served all day!

    Such a hidden gem!! The amount of gluten-free options was great (both English muffins and wraps offered) and they were delicious! My partner had a bagel with cream cheese that was fresh and tasty! The online menu was easy to navigate and the wait time for the food was exactly what was predicted! We did have to eat in the car, since there were no seats open inside, but the view from the parking lot is nice enough to make that enjoyable :)

I also got an iced vanilla latte - thoroughly enjoyed the latte! Four adults and a toddler sampled a bunch of donuts - sounds like the start of a terrible joke...These are my notes on all of the donuts and not a consensus from the group, in no particular order. Woopie pie: 4 stars - good flavor and texture, nice way to begin this sampling experience. Bacon cheddar fried donut: 5 stars - delicious, amazing flavor, served hot, good distribution of fillings; would gladly have this again! Margarita: 3 stars - definitely taste the salt and lime, little bit of tequila as well; glad I experienced this, not something I'll go back for. Key lime holy cannoli: 5 stars - love the texture of the donut, light and fluffy, good lime flavor and enjoyed the cannoli cream. Creme brulee: 3 stars - good flavor, the crystallized chunks of sugar were a nice touch; I had high hopes, and it was alright but not life changing - that's on me. Maple: 3 stars - typical maple donut, not overwhelming with flavor but definitely knew it was maple. Maple bacon: 4 stars - lots of bacon, almost balanced by the maple. Blueberry lemon: 5 stars - really great lemon flavor to the glaze, blueberry flavor comes through the donut nicely; looking forward to having this again! Vanilla holy cannoli: 5 stars - again, love the texture of the donut, classic flavor with the cannoli cream; I would gladly eat a whole one of these! Chocolate sea salt: 3 stars - good chocolate flavor, didn't get much of the sea salt coming through. Pomegranate: 4 stars - very sweet, good amount of pomegranate flavor; could not eat a whole one as it would be too sweet for me. Honey lavender: 5 stars - mmm, honey and lavender partnered nicely, sweet but not obnoxiously so, loved how well the lavender flavor came through; I very much so enjoy botanicals in sweet treats and lattes. Toasted coconut: 5 stars - deliciously sweet coconut taste, nostalgic flavor of something my grandma use to make, I really enjoyed it! Such a fun way to bond with friends and spend a relaxing morning on vacation! Would gladly get donuts here again, and now that i know my favorites, I can be more intentional with my order next time

Wanted to try the blueberry one too but sold out. My favorite was the chocolate... hubbys was coffee brandy one. They do have some merch to select as well and they have their whole bean coffee available. The service was great. You will pay for these gems of deliciousness - like $4+ a donut. Doesn't matter - just order them! So good.

    Visiting from out of town, 8:00am Saturday: no line, full selection, friendly and chill vibes…read more These donuts have a slightly chewy, dense texture that is very pleasant and not quite like any other baked good I can think of. The flavor doesn't hit you immediately but develops as you chew. A novel donut. Lemon, vanilla, and blueberry were my favorites. The whoopie pie donut tastes just like a whoopie pie, if that's your thing. I was a little disappointed in the sweet potato ginger -- I don't think I could have identified the flavors in a blind tasting, too subtle. But still tasty. Definitely recommend this spot for a different kind of donut experience.

    I've Seen Better Glaze…read more Family-owned chain of donut shops that started off in a home kitchen driven with a dream and some Maine potatoes, and has turned into one of Downtown Portland's biggest foodie destinations. Holy Donut opened their first Portland location back in 2012, and they now have five locations around the state, including this DT location which is probably their busiest. The Good: *Vegan & Gluten-free offerings--but they're not synonymous! Check the fine print or ask. *Coast-to-Coast shopping options, including vending machines (we saw some at PWM). *Online ordering available for pickup. Tbh this is probably the way to get them, as you can skip the line and go straight to the back at the pickup window and just get your stuff right quick. You're welcome. *Donuts are made daily from scratch and feature seasonal and limited flavors. The Meh: *You'll most likely have to pay for parking at this DT location. *You'll also most likely encounter a large line to order from, depending on the time of day. When we walked by earlier before lunch it was HUGE, but after lunch it was down to manageable ±10 people ifo of us, and it did move pretty quick, as well. I mean, it is just donuts ffs. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to decide. The Ugly: *Pricing is a bit obscene at ±$5/ea, but it's to be expected in a extremely popular area full of tourists and cruises. *Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm very particular about donuts in general, but I found them to be very heavy and just OK. Also, the flavors could've been punchier, as I found the taste a little too muted for my liking. Conclusion: Definitely not worth a long wait or the price imo, but if you're in the area, the line is short, and you have $5 burning a hole in your pocket then I say go for it. Because, evidently, I'm in the minority judging by the popularity and reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The donuts were all tasty! I actually liked the Portland Fog donut texture better than the crullers, which were nice and airy but a bit soggy/limp for me. The Portland Fog was especially delicious -- I love a lavender + earl grey combo -- though I wish it was 10% lighter on the lavender flavor. The chocolate & sea salt flavor combo was also delicious (though you can never go wrong with that flavor pairing). I will flag for those with dietary restrictions that there are unfortunately no vegan or vegetarian donuts here, since they fry all their donuts in lard. Overall, a pleasant experience. I'm looking forward to trying more flavors!
