We drove to this cafe to try something new. When we arrived, we were not allowed inside and it was raining out. We weren't allowed to order at the window and were told we had to order from our phones even though we were the only ones standing there. Staff just didn't go out of their way to make the process pleasant. I then asked if I could get lettuce on my sandwich and was told, " we don't allow modifications." For the price, I can't believe they wouldn't give me a piece of lettuce, when other sandwiches have it on them. We tried to peak in ( through the window) to see the decor and the owner pointed her finger as to say, " you're not allowed to." Very strange and unwelcoming. We got back to the car and were honestly like this is the type of place to ask us to move our car since we have already purchased something and not allow us to eat our sandwiches in their lot. I am really disappointing in this place, I really wanted to like it. Lastly, we got a stapled piece of paper to our bag saying they added 12% (which is not a tip) but charged to all orders to pay employees wages. So this was enough to make me say I definitely wont be back. I'm all about fair wages but they put half an egg in my sandwich so I'm sure they are saving money there lol Do better! Be nice. Treat your customers like we are paying patrons and not bothering you! Especially for what you charge. I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Beware! read more

The baked goods are delightful. However the coffee is not great and it used to get a little over crowded some mornings before school

I had been wanting to go to this place for a while, the pictures of the establishment look adorable. So my friend and I met there for coffee on a weekday morning. Upon arriving, I realized there was barely any seating. So weird, for a coffee shop to not have many places to sit. There is one large table and a couple of small tables. It seems like they don't utilize their space very well. I had to basically stalk people in order for us to find a place to sit. The atmosphere and decor is definitely adorable & overall the bakery it cute. I wasn't impressed with the food. I got the quiche, which was pretty blah. I also got a scone to go, and it was so dry and just tasted bland. Not sure I would go back. read more

Old countryside interiors give this place an in-your-mother's kitchen feel. Food is offered with vintage style silverware as opposed to the wasteful plastic utensils you'll see in other places. I got the Parisien sandwich and my partner got the Short Rib melt sandwich. Both were delicious! Definitely coming back for breakfast and to buy some of their cheeses and prosecco wine sold in-store. read more

Where do I begin? Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The sandwich I ordered was the turkey press and it did not disappoint. Every bite was delicious, it was a bittersweet moment taking my last bite. My coffee was huge (for the price) and I was very impressed with their selection of non-dairy milk options! Lastly, the lemon bar was the best I've had to date, and that is including the ones I make at home! Over all, very reasonably priced, extremely kind and welcoming staff, and a beautiful aesthetic to make things even better! 10/10, would 100% recommend, and I will be back! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! As a non-meat eater, I am GRATEFUL when a restaurant understands that it's not fair to charge someone the same amount for a sandwich with meat as one without. The fact that my breakfast sandwich was cheaper when I selected the "no meat" option is really appreciated and not something you commonly see! Their food is also so delicious you won't be able to stay away! Thank you Honeycomb for being so great! You never disappoint read more

Food is delicious but service is not great. I ordered online (paid) and 50 minutes later they still did not have my order ready. I ask again - hello can you please check on my food and one of the employees goes "we are out of that today" ok so you decided to just not tell me that after Waiting there for almost an hour ?!!? I go ok I'll take something else because I'm starving and I get a sandwich. I'm eating the sandwich and he's like "hey I didn't get the payment for the sandwich from you" I literally ordered something 2 dollars more online (paid) and did not receive it why would I pay for the sandwich AND something I did not even receive. The whole take out operation is super sloppy in my opinion it was very confusing and disorganized when I got there. read more

Honeycomb is heavy on the hip/Pinterest appeal and short on comfort. The bakery goods are wonderful. The shop is cute. But to try to do more than perch is a battle. It's always noisy, crowded and demanding to be a patron. What really sets me off, though is the grabby tip up sell on the screen on the checkout device. It gives you a forced choice of an exorbitant tip scale before you sign for your counter pick up service. Truly it was an act of complex intention to wrestle the gratuity down to 20%. It feels grabby and excessive for an affected cup of coffee and a pastry in a place lacking in comfort. More seats/less retail? read more

Honeycomb is delicious they have different quiche everyday and homemade pastry's and desserts. Everything I have tried have been seriously delicious. The only tip I have is to early because things sell out. read more

Love the place and the location. Only good spot in Hamilton, so for locals this has been needed for a while now! Quiches are delicious, though on the small side. They could use some changes to their sizing for coffee - they only have one size for lattes so the hot size is extremely small, but if you order it iced (which I prefer), they fill it with mostly milk because it's only one espresso shot. That would be my biggest complaint, because when you spend over $5 on an iced latte, you shouldn't feel like you are just drinking a cup of milk! Aesthetic is incredible with a warm and inviting farm-house style. Not the best for getting work done as it's always packed and loud. Seating can be an issue as there is mainly one large farm table. Give this place a try.. just don't order an iced latte!!! read more

First time customer. Purchased 2 pastries and 1 loaf bread, $18. They were really good. But bottom line...Very good, very popular so busy around lunch time , and very expensive. I would recommend it for others to try but...not the right value for my travel to get there. read more

Everything in this bakery is excellent the cookies the pastries the sandwiches the bread the coffee you can't go wrong with whatever you pick you will not be disappointed owner is a pastry chief read more

Great menu, the vegan sandwich is excellent! Highly recommend! Very COVID precautious which is very appreciated!

We're from Arlington, MA which is a bit of a hike to Hamilton, but we love making the trek up for a weekend breakfast. Not only is the cafe itself just adorable in its decorations and style, but the food and coffee is delicious and the staff is exceptionally friendly. The "Other One" sandwich is my favorite, and their chai tea latte is the best one I've ever had. Someday maybe we'll live closer and be able to frequent Honeycomb - that would be a dream. read more

Wish it was a bit closer to me but great staff, nice atmosphere and lots of food choices. The breakfast sandwich is good even if you dont get the mayo on it! read more

This bakery is so lovely, and their pastries and baked goods are delicious. If you love croissants, it's better to go earlier in the morning when they are still hot and fresh out of the oven. I can't seem to resist eating at least one salted honey bar each time I visit bc it's just that good, and I haven't come across honey bars until discovering this place. Love the charming exterior/interior design, and I only wish it were bigger since it's sometimes hard to find seating due to its many customers. read more

I love Honeycomb and the food is always amazing however they have to make some front end changes. The service is so so slow and is getting worse. Last week I waited over 30 minutes at 9:30 on a weekday for a bagel sandwich and coffee. This is off putting and will push people away if the slow service continues. read more

Fantastic we come for the pizza every Friday its 100 percent worth waiting for and calling ahead.

The most unfriendly staff, always willing to say "NO" for the simplest of requests. It's why it's worth the trip to go out of your way to avoid going there in the morning to start your day. read more

I went to Honeycomb/Hamilton, MA on Sat. July 27th for breakfast with my parents. I've been in better, less expensive places in NYC. I would avoid this place like the plague. It's a yuppie hang-out for people have too much money and too little everything else. Here's what happened: We got there about 9:15am, after trying one other place and immediately found a parking space. We thought that was a good sign. However, when we got inside, we found that there very few tables and it was noisy with yuppie children crawling around on the floor. That was a turn-off, but somewhat understandable. When we finally got up to order, after twenty minutes, we were very disappointed. Though their pastries are very tasty, they are very, very expensive - about a 1/3 again more than Panera in North Beverly, MA. Further, their coffee is ridiculously priced ($3.50 for a small). Now - regarding the food. I ordered a 2-egg sandwich on some toasted bread. I expected to pay 3 or 4 dollars. NO- $6.95 for an obnoxiously small sandwich that they didn't even bother to toast. My parents had the quiche - and it sucked. $7.95 per slice. It was small, luke-warm, and just stupid. For the three of us, with tax, it was $35.50 DON'T GO TO HONEYCOMB unless you're alright with pissing away your money and having nowhere to sit. The Depot Diner in North Beverly, MA is worlds better and cheaper as well. read more

Feel pretty embarrassed that I didn't know this place was here until yesterday, and we immediately went over for breakfast this morning. The building is adorable, it was busy and buzzing but not crazy, the staff were great, and most importantly, the food was fantastic. It was also great to see the owner hard at work in the window on a Saturday morning! We got a couple of breakfast sandwiches on biscuits, and they were really excellent. We also got a cinnamon roll, which was fantastic, and a bear claw, which was also very good. Prices are certainly on the higher end, but they're fair for the quality and selection you're getting, and on-par with what you'd see in Boston and Cambridge. Make sure you're there on the early side, they opened at 8am this morning and sold out of biscuits right after we ordered around 9:15! read more

Food is great, always consistent however I don't recommend buying/giving their gift cards as using one is next to impossible. They urge the use of their online ordering (as they've been doing to go only orders for 2 years) but Toast Tab doesn't accept their gift cards. You're told you need to call to place an order if paying with a gift card but there's no one available to answer the phone. I've called on a number of occasions at all different times and all I ever get is their voicemail. Ive asked at their pick up window how to use a gift card and am just continuously pointed to their unanswered phone. read more

Great breakfast sandwich! Donut wasn't very good. Not a huge fan of communal seating, but we sat at the bar. I would go back.

What a great local spot. Fresh pastries on display, lots of sandwiches on the menu to have freshly made, and a smiling face greeting you at the counter. I got a slice of almond bread, and a chai latte. Fresh, delicious, and worth what I paid. read more

My daughter & I stopped here on a recommendation and so happy we did ! Fantastic service and great food .... Best avocado toast we've ever had and the soft pretzel was sooo good ! We also liked the selection of unique gifts they sold too read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches. All of their bakery items are amazing - cinnamon roll esp. Wish for a bit more customization on the online menu (ie, option to add Bacon to "the other one") but otherwise they're doing a great job with covid and the ordering options. read more

taking off stars bc the price for the quality and quantity for the coffee/drinks is too high. the atmosphere is still pretty nice overall.

I was actually searching for coffee places with honey lattes and found this on Yelp. The menu looked great so on Saturday morning we lazily trekked to Hamilton to check Honeycomb out. I'll say that it's easy to miss. Very small sign and set back a bit from the road. After two loops and wondering if we should park and seek it out on foot we finally spotted the sign. It was busy but there was plenty of parking. It looked like a nice place to sit and eat (we were taking our food with us) and had lots of displays for food and other items. Kind of shocked to see soy candles for $48 - bit pricey! Smelled delightful though. I think the lunch menu looked awesome but we were too early for that. I got one of the famous cinnamon rolls. OMG it did not disappoint. So delicious. So rich. Heated up it was heavenly cinnamon goodness! We also got the breakfast burrito and loved how they presented it. Very easy to eat, although heavy on the black beans. Finally, we got the honey latte and I'm sorry to say I was disappointed with it. Alas. My dining partner enjoyed it but it just didn't hit the honey spot for me. I would definitely return though as I'm still thinking about that gooey wonderful cinnamon bun days later. read more

way too expensive and and the 12% fee is asinine. I just was asked to pay 8.68 cents for a large coffee and will never return. I've given this place so many chances, between not having anything in stock and running out of food items by 10am, charging ridiculous prices, and having the worst ever hours, this place is such a waste of time. read more

Unbelievably expensive and unbelievably slow. I usually avoid for both of these reasons but visited this weekend against better judgement and got a small latte with oat milk. That is it. For $8...sigh. read more

A little bit of Paris in Hamilton. The nicest owner ever. Great shortbread, pastries, bread!

Masks still ! condescending attitude, service fee then this is your place Food is great coffee good bring your wallet though

What a wonderful find! After visiting the sculpture exhibit at nearby Pingree School, we found this lovely bakery/cafe. I was pleasantly surprised at the delicious crunch and fresh greens in the Green Goddess Cobb salad. So good! My husband's Honeycomb BLT was a really fun version of this classic- with tangy pesto aioli on a toasted focaccia. The people of So Hamilton are so lucky! read more

A beautifully designed local shop with great coffee and a nice and accommodating staff. Feels like shopping local, in a great way.

This place is like my dream. Everything you've gotten a coffee shop except more. All the pastries are beautiful, the wine selection is interesting, the beer selection is astonishing, and the coffee is outstanding. I'm in love. read more

New Bakery serving breakfast , lunch, and pastries. The food is absolutely delicious! Everything is made with care by some amazing bakers and chefs. A really friendly counter staff gives knowledgeable service with a smile. A cozy country kitchen environment makes it a perfect place to meet up with friends for coffee and a pastry or to have a quick breakfast or lunch! I couldn't recommend Honeycomb more! read more
