Honeypie Cafe — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Very welcoming and great atmosphere, along with a very friendly staff and welcoming staff. Everyone greeted and said hello upon entering the restaurant. The atmosphere is cute, quaint, and comfortable, and with its decor of nostalgic pictures to the wallpaper and the bookcases - this the kind of place to sit down, have coffee, read a paper, either in quietness or mingle with friends. I truly enjoyed and had a liking to the ambiance.

After sitting down and looking through the menu, I decided to order the Breakfast Casserole with a side of their House Fries with Aioli and, always, a bloody mary (opt for their Honey Pie's Classic Bloody). The food came out quickly. Let me tell you, the casserole was as cheesy as can be and given in a very generous amount. It comes sunny, but I prefer and ordered my eggs scrambled. It wasn't what I expected in a casserole, but once I dove my fork in, all the cheesy goodness, sausage, and gravy came out. Underneath it all were the potatoes and biscuit/pie crust. It appeared that it was made like a pie, which I thought was different and unique for this casserole. The flavor and taste were a bit on the sweet side for my liking. The fries were seasoned very nicely with seasoned herbs. However, I didn't care for the aioli too much. Even with the flavor, it tasted too much like mayonnaise. Their Honey Pie Classic Bloody Mary was a bit disappointing as I've heard great things about it. Didn't particularly like the taste - I can't pinpoint it, but just wasn't the right flavor for me. The mimosa, which I made the decision to have later and wanted to try (because it brunch so it's a must!), came out in a tall glass cup and was too sweet for my taste, as well. However, I'd have to say it tasted like freshly sweet squeezed oranges, which is always appreciated. Once I was done with the meal and before asking for the check and boxes to go, I was asked if I wanted a pie for dessert and was shown a menu. Unfortunately, I kindly declined - my taste buds aren't too fond of sweets (as you can tell), and I didn't get a pie. Now that I think about it, I wish I wouldve gotten a pie "to go" because I've heard they're extremely good. Hence, their name 😉

Overall, the place was nice and the ambiance was cozy; the staff were very friendly and welcoming; the dish that I ordered (although generous) was no more or less than "okay" and the drinks would be described as "I've had better"; the prices, I felt in my opinion, were a bit high (ex. 1 egg for $3.50). Given that, I'd be interested in coming back and giving their other dishes a try and, most definitely, the next time around, get a piece...

It's unfortunate that our family from out of town had to experience such awful service here over the weekend. We ordered corn muffins and a buttermilk biscuit as an appetizer. We were brought a cheddar biscuit instead so we told the waitress what the correct item was. We never received the biscuit. The cheddar one left and the correct one just never came.

Someone in our party ordered a slice of french toast with her meal, which is listed as one of the available sides. She was brought a full order of french toast, which is twice the price. The waitress started giving us attitude and replying rudely when we told her about the order. She said "Well when someone asks for french toast, I'm going to put in french toast. I can take it back but it'll take a while." The side of french toast was specified when it was ordered. Like it was pointed to on the menu. There were a few other things wrong with our order: I asked for aioli with my fries and never got it and a skillet had peppers, which we specifically asked for it without.

We had just ordered another round of drinks when the waitress brought over the check and some to-go boxes. We didn't ask for the check. We were not ready to leave. When we received the check, we were charged for the items that never came and were charged twice for a skillet. At this point, we were all frustrated so I took the receipt to the manager and told her about our experience. All she did was ask me which items needed to be deducted from the receipt and that was it. It would have been nice to receive some kind of sympathy from the manager. She didn't seem understanding or sympathetic at all. Honeypie serves good food, but when our service is this bad, it negatively effects the entire experience. We get that it was busy. Things happen. It's all good. But please do not get an attitude when we're just asking for the item we ordered in the first place. I can't say that I'm going to be going back here. And I definitely won't be recommending Honeypie to...

Today was our first time trying Honeypie. We came in around 1, and it wasn’t very busy. There were a few occupied tables. we were seated, and shortly thereafter our waitress came over and took our order. My boyfriend ordered the bake shop hand pie, and she said she didn’t know if they had any left, and she’d have to check. So she asked for a backup option, which he gave. I have a nut allergy so I asked the waitress if they were a nut free restaurant, and if the grilled cheese was safe. She said she’d have to double check (we never heard back). My boyfriend ordered the grilled cheese with truffle fries for me while I stepped away. She came back in a bit to give my boyfriend his Beermosa, which he liked. I ordered the rose. We waited awhile for our food, and our waitress didn’t come back for quite some time. The rest of the waitresses were very busy, checking on tables and cleaning up. Our waitress couldn’t be found and my rose sat waiting at the bar for 20 minutes. Finally she reappeared, picked up my rose and walked around with it, doing other errands. Keep in mind, this is a small place and would’ve taken a minute to deliver. Instead we waited and waited for her to set it down. Someone else brought us our food, which we enjoyed. Note that our original waitress never confirmed that the pie was unavailable and just ordered my boyfriends second option. Awhile after our waitress came by and we asked for more napkins. Again, a request that would’ve taken a minute to fulfill. She came back 15 minutes later with no napkins, just a bill. So we asked again (even though we were basically finished with our food) and she finally got us some. Overall, the food was good (fairly pricey, but worth it) and the place was cute. The service was really horrible considering the place wasn’t even half full and there were several waitresses there. Not sure I’d go back considering the service. It was really frustrating and took away from...
