It was a successful restaurant back home who inspired them to bring it to Sugar Mountain. What a great addition to the restaurants here. This is primarily a take-out restaurant, but there are a few counter stools available when they aren't busy. Now for the food! I had the Curry Up and it was delicious. All the flavors the come from a handheld pie were memorable. My husband had the steak and cheese and it was just as good. I can't wait to try their breakfast pies next time.

The crust is quite nice, and holds everything together just fine, the filling was plentiful, although the high country pie was a bit salty, the King of the Mountain was perfectly seasoned. Just surprised there were no fruit or sweet pies, but no big deal. Hot and delicious.

We love Honeybee's!! My mother-in-law has been buying goodies from them for years. When we fly out…read moreto visit her (CA to TN), there are always Honeybee's goodies on the table but I have to admit my Achilles' heel is 100% her dinner rolls. OMG! So delicious and slathered with butter We actually stop on the way to the airport and get at least 2 dozen of Honeybee's rolls for the flight home. We used to get only 1 dozen but I've never made it back to Cali without at least one passenger bartering for a few.. it's become a thing! fresh, buttery rolls on a plane is the adult equivalent to getting to stop at McDonald's for a Happy Meal on the way back to school from a doctors appointment; you're literally king for the day! My favorite barter-to-date is a few visits ago when our group was all separated on the plane. The ladies I was sitting next to ordered me a buffalo chicken wrap and a mimosa in exchange for a dozen of my precious dinner rolls ‍ Long story long, Honeybee's has not only made my visits to Tennessee even more special, they've pulled off making the long flight home fun too! I am for sure a lifelong fan!!! I'm so happy Honeybee's was able to not only survive during the pandemic, but become exceedingly popular! I've met a few of the staff throughout the years and their team is so friendly and dedicated to giving the best of what they do! Congrats, Honeybee's!!

A great French bakery right on Main St. in downtown Blowing Rock. They have everything from…read morepastries and savory items, to breads, cookies and coffee. It's tucked into a great courtyard off of Main St. with plenty of outdoor seating, including umbrellas and shade on warmer days. We went with a sweet almond croissant and 2 different types of savory quiches, a bacon cheese and a broccoli cheese. Everything had fantastic flavors. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because the warmed up items were still a tad bit cold inside. This is the second time we've been here, and had a similar experience the first round. With proper heating time, these would have been top notch and 5 star all around. We'll be back for more bakery goodness for sure. We'll politely ask that the items get heated through next time just in case.

When you walk in they have a cute little shop with some French items for sale, everything from aprons to tea sets. They have fresh baked pastries and a few different pre-made sandwiches to choose from. I ordered their Lemon Lavender Tart, a Chocolate Croissant, a vegan Macaron and a Cinnamon Bun. My favorite out of all these was the Macaron which was made with a ganache instead of a buttercream. It is important to note that they have a phenomenal variety of vegan pastries which is great for allergens, but also it will not be the typical French pastries you would expect that would be buttery and gooey and yummy, so that was a bit different. I love that they import their flour and use quality ingredients, that's an "A" in my book. Their coffee was really good, I ordered a double espresso and was happy with it, yummy with the baked goods. This was a fun little surprise on my trip!
