Honey and Co. was such a great breakfast spot. The biscuits and gravy were incredible. The biscuit…read moreitself was huge, fluffy, and practically cloud-like, while the sausage gravy was perfectly seasoned and packed with savory flavor. The bacon blue cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and balanced so well with the blue cheese and thick strips of bacon. No sad little fast food bacon bits here. The Fall French toast had an amazing crisp to it. Personally, I felt like there was almost a little too much happening flavor-wise to fully enjoy it all together, but the warm apple slices with the cinnamon raisin bread were absolutely delicious. The staff was amazing from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant itself is small, but it felt cozy rather than crowded. Bonus points for having lots of options for different dietary needs too. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

It took forever to find a place to eat out on Sunday morning but we decided here after a thorough…read moregoogle search. Parking was a nightmare and the waitlist was thriving at 25 minutes long, but it was Sunday so I understood. We put our name on the list and waited outside in the cold next to the heater that wasn't emitting any heat. Our name was called after twenty minutes and we were sat next to the door (not my fave) at a large table. A couple was sat at the same time as us at the other end. We both got our menus at the same time. But long story short: by the time they were done with their meal, check on the table and everything, we had finally received ours. It was very annoying given that we were sat at the exact same time. The cinnamon roll was lackluster. All of the lovely frosting that you hope for/expect was melted into a flavorless grease. The corned beef hash was a strange consistency being made with shredded hash instead of traditional cubed potato but that was their choice and it's not the best. The French toast on the kids menu did not mention that it was crusted in cornflakes and I think if it weren't for the fact that my daughter was so hungry, she wouldn't have ate them. They were what you expect: crunchy French toast bites. Our server never returned after dropping off the food, only at the end to clear plates and give the check. It was a disappointing experience and even more disappointing that we had to tip on that kind of service because we're those kind of people. Clearly he didn't deserve it. The encounter legitimately set a really grim tone for the rest of the day.

We stopped at this Black Bear Diner in Salem on our way headed south on the 5. The crew mentioned…read moreit was getting on meal time and I'm not sure if there's much south of here that would be good to stop at that would keep everyone happy. I know Black Bear has enough choices to keep these guys happy so here we go! We get in and the interior has that bearish theme going like all the Black Bear Diners. Yep, that's cute! We get seated and drink orders taken. I decide on the Patty melt, the other girl on the crew gets the fish and chips and another guy gets some sandwich thing, I forgot what it was called. The food took a little while to come out but we weren't in any rush this time, so no biggie. My patty melt was cooked as ordered, medium and the fries were crispy and hot. The rest of the food looked good and no one was complaining, so that's a good sign. We all munched our food down and left happy. Now, back on the road again ... as the song goes ...

We went on Sunday, the day of the clocks turning and found it to be chill in there. I'm sure other people were trying to get used to the new time as well. I ordered some eggs, bacon, and hash browns. All were very amazing and fresh. The YS got the omelette and had enough to take home for breakfast the next day. All in all a great meal and I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Grab some specialty coffee from Storm coffee in town got in our car and headed down the road for a long road trip. Popped open the goods and immediately was met with disappointment . The raspberry tart was ice cold and hard maybe partially frozen? Likewise, the sausage turnover was very cold inside. Not sure if that's how they sell them. In my opinion they should offer to at least heat them up or warn the customer that they're not ready to eat. On the good side, the chocolate chip cookies were delicious. Unfortunately, we were too far down the road and did not have time to return. This is not a condemnation on Turner bakery because I've heard nothing but fabulous things but this was just our first experience unfortunately but we will be back but we will ask more questions obviously . Not sure if these are refrigerated from the previous day or night or they got that cold from opening till 11 AM when we picked them up? To readers just be sure to ask questions and if you think it should be warm, ask them to do so.

Service was quick and friendly. I went with a cinnamon roll, two plain bagels, and two cookies: one ultimate chocolate chip and one peanut butter. I also got cream cheese for the bagel. The cinnamon roll was huge, pillowy, and very delicious. It was a little light on the cinnamon for my tastes, but I would definitely get it again. The bagels were pretty good. Nothing amazing, but a solid bagel chewy texture with good flavor. The cream cheese seemed to be whipped, which was a thoughtful touch. The cookies were huge, and both had a nice soft texture and rich flavor. The ultimate chocolate chip seemed to have maybe a caramel swirl along with chocolate chips. Very decadent! And the peanut butter was rich and chewy, with good peanut butter flavor. This place is a bit of a drive from me, but I will definitely be back some Sunday in the future to try some more of their extensive and tasty offerings.
