I love the space as it's perfect to meet or get some work done with great natural lighting which is a nice change from the moodier ambience of walkers point location. The service is still the same top tier fast service with a smile from other location. You also don't lose out on the quality of the coffee so another winning spot I'm excited to add to rotation.

There's plenty of seating and it's a great place to chat with friends, get some work done, or grab a copy of a local publication to browse as you sip your beverage. The beverage menu is large and varied. The honeybee latte is delicious, as is the iced chai (but you can't exactly mess that up). Their bakery selection is a bit smaller than other area shops, but the deliciousness makes up for it. While the blueberry muffin is a classic, I'd recommend the cinnamon chip scone. It's perfect for people who want a little sweetness with their beverage, but not too much sweetness. You'll really feel the warm, spiced cinnamon flavor. As for the price, you'll be paying a little bit more than other nearby national or local chain franchises. But, in my opinion, it's worth it.

I'm still a big fan of this place. I took my nieces here on a Friday night, a few couples were…read morethere but it wasn't overly crowded. We ordered a 12 pack of doughnut and were able to pick 4 flavors. The s'mores ones were amazing! We also really liked the puppy chow. While ordering, one niece picked out Bart's birthday cake and I said something to her like oh you picked those because we are celebrating your birthday. I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place. They both said the mini doughnut place was a highlight of their weekend with me.

The selection of donuts looked delicious so I placed an order for a six-pack of donuts. Got to pick out three different flavors. Wait time was a ridiculous but i gave them a break due to the high traffic from the event going on outside. When I finally got my order I had to laugh. These donuts were the size of donut holes. One bite donuts? No exaggeration, I paid a premium price for full size donuts and I all I got were bite size dough balls. I was mad as a Danzig at a Bulletboys concert. Don't waste your time with this place. Happy Dough Lucky is just happy to take your dough. No luck involved.

It's a fun space and felt very welcoming. The chilaquiles were fantastic! They make their own hot sauce in house that was a good addition to the dish, along with chorizo. Highly recommend this one. It was also a huge portion and ended up feeding me for two meals. Make sure you get here early to avoid the extremely long lines; we planned to be there right when it opened and by the time we left, there were already people having to wait outside. Worth the wait though!

Huh. I've heard good things about Honeypie and I'm confused now. I tried to get brunch with my…read morefamily at another area spot, but the wait was too long so we opted to try Honeypie. We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.

We ended up sitting on the main floor at a very large wooden table that would be perfect for playing games with a large group of friends or family.

There is a little free library and boardgames you can play while you enjoy your coffee or sandwich. They use Anodyne beans for their coffee and they make simple, fresh sandwiches. I went with the Trike - Deli style chicken, pepper jack cheese, with a spicy aioli chipotle sauce on a ciabatta bun. Simple and delicious. Service was good as well. A nice homey cafe where you can post up and work, catch up with a friend or come alone and cozy up with a book for awhile.

If you are in the Milwaukee area, I cannot recommend La Finca enough!…read more The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Plants and bright colors are peppered throughout the space and there is plenty of seating. The coffee is quite good; it's clear that it is handled with respect and the variety of flavored coffee options is extensive. The chocolate spiced cold brew was balanced, smooth, and satisfying. My wife's cafe Classico coffee (with cinnamon) was equally tasty. But, an equally compelling reason to visit is the food offerings. The pastries, chilaquiles torta, and the avocado toast were all packed with flavor and thoughtfully made. The ingredients are high quality and we don't want the flavor in our mouth to go away. This business is so worth supporting. Give it a shot! You will not be disappointed.

Milwaukee Mud Pie: Honeypie Cafe opened in 2009 in the Bayview neighborhood on the south side of…read moreMilwaukee. They serve Midwestern-inspired food using homegrown WI ingredients. Their daily menu includes an all-day breakfast (something all restaurants should do) as well as an exclusive weekend brunch menu. In 2018, SmallPie opened a short 1.5 miles from its parent location. All of both location's pies are made individually by hand with Wisconsin butter, milk, eggs, oats, cream and (when available) Wisconsin and Midwest grown fruits. For my first visit I had to try their "all-time customer favorite", Milwaukee Mud Pie. It's a chocolate shortbread crust filled with a baked fudge layer, a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (off-brand OREOs), and a layer of chocolate cream filling. Topped with freshly whipped cream and more crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. I really wanted to like this and I'm not trying to dump on them, but I honestly prefer the frozen pies from Marie Callender or Edwards. Something about it just makes it fall flat for me. Possibly it's not sweet enough, but overly rich from the whipped cream. Personally, I prefer something more like Cool Whip as opposed to actual dairy cream. On the plus side, the chocolate short bread crust and brownie-like fudge layer had an excellent texture. It would have been nice having another pie to judge them with, but slices of both versions of their banana cream pie were unavailable. For me, this is an avoid as it's no way worth the calories with tastier (and cheaper pies out there). *This is was a 2 star pie, but I don't want to hurt a business based on my personal tastes so 3 (average) stars for effort.
