Little Honey — Restaurant in New York

Little Honey

So today me and the missus were doing an errand and walked down this small side street and see a small shop with a sign “Little Honey” I’m Mr. Google man so I Google it, cafe, “hey you wanna try out this cafe?” We walk in and we are greater behind this charismatic man behind the counter, who as it turns out is the owner, Chris. As we get ready to just order coffee, I ask if there’s any gluten free bread, the answer is no but we are pulled into the most interesting convo about his baked goods and the stone ground flour. This flour is free of GMO’s, no chemicals, produced local by Chef Patrick, it’s all-natural like all flour should be. We sit down, order coffee which is from Devoción, it was great. no complaints friendly staff

We ordered: FRENCH TOAST: it’s served with a berry compote that was light and delightful. The bread is made with stone ground flour that’s almost like a focaccia and a sourdough had a “doughbaby” (there one suggestion for a name)

SCRAMBLED EGGS: the eggs came with cheddar cheese melted into it, I don’t know if that’s your jam but it sure was mine, light fluffy and throughly mixed they were a consit yellow throughout and so fluffy.this plate also comes with an arugula salad with a dressing that had a rather unique dressing I’m still trying to figure out, regardless it was really good.

I almost forgot bacon we both got bacon it was perfecttttt not a floppy piece not a crunch piece looking to break a tooth but just absolutely perfect

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH- oh boy, so we split this bad boy and I thought I was gonna be stuffed, like come on this was a pretty hefty order…. (No…the breads have no chemicals no additives to make you bloat and feel fat it’s natural non GMO wheat) the sandwich hit the spot for lunch but wait there’s more.

The pizza- we brought that home hit it in the airfryer for a few minutes it was good but I think we need to come back and try it fresh… long story short, oh yes we will be back. Can’t wait to try...

The young woman who made my coffee was very unfriendly. I came in to get a cappuccino and wasn’t sure if they make that since I always thought it’s more of a wine bar and initially I could only see their drip coffee machine. So I asked. Somehow the barista seemed offended by that I don’t know why!! Or she had a bad day but that’s not my issue as a customer. The cappuccino with almond milk tastes pretty good. So they seem to use quality ingredients and she did a good job making it, to her defense. However she dumped it in front of me with anger I have no idea why and didn’t say a word to me, so I wasn’t sure if it’s my drink.The cappuccino was extremely tiny for 6.50$, literally so small that I assumed it’s a double espresso or macchiato but not my drink. So I asked her again very kindly if that is for me. Which is a totally normal question in a cafe! And very angrily, dismissively she answers yes almond milk. So I said ok thanks and voiced to her that it’s not a lot for the price. So she gets really offended and tells me it’s a regular 8 ounce cup and turns around decides to ignore me until I leave. I have never seen this woman in my life before and I don’t know if she misunderstood something when I asked if they sell other coffee than drip coffee or if she just had a bad day and decided to let it out on customers. Either way it was very overpriced and very unpleasant. Luckily there is other coffee shops...

Wanted to like it… but each thing let me down

I came in hopeful—cute spot in a great neighborhood, and it smelled better than the other café down the block.

But it started going downhill with the iced mocha. It had no espresso flavor, just a watery drink with chocolate chips sitting at the bottom. The barista didn’t wait for the chocolate to melt, so it tasted like… nothing.

Then came the biscuit sandwich. The biscuit itself was solid—flaky and fresh—but the egg square inside was oddly spongy and totally bland. No seasoning, no flavor.

Next up, the potatoes. I wanted them to be crispy, but they were oily and soft, with nothing going on flavor-wise except a few red pepper flakes. Once again, the only real taste came from the ketchup.

The staff was young and generally friendly, but one person clearly didn’t want to be there. No eye contact, just going through the motions.

All said and done, I spent $30 for a drink, sandwich, and potatoes—and left feeling underwhelmed. I really tried to like it, but every part of the experience...
