- foodMy experience at the restaurant was largely positive, with many crepe options and fast service contributing to a delicious food experience. The only downside was feeling a bit hurried from our table once we were done, which, while understandable, wasn't the best part of the visit.
- breakfastWhat a great spot - a delicious breakfast. You have to have some patience, but everything is well organized.
- coffeeThe cafe offers plenty of seating, though it fills up quickly, so arriving early is recommended. Overall, the great food, good coffee, and chill, welcoming atmosphere made for a wonderful visit. I will definitely be back!
- crepesThe atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming diner-style setup that made me feel right at home. The menu offers an impressive array of crepes, both sweet and savory, catering to all taste preferences. Each crepe was crafted with care, and the flavors were well-balanced, making every bite a pleasure.
- portionsgenerous portions but not over the top
- pancakesUnfortunately, it was rammed and we couldn't get in. I had the French toast with strawberries, which was amazing, and my son had pancakes 😋. The coffee was excellent too.
- menuIt had a great menu covering everything you could possibly want
- orange juiceThe volume was very loud, making the system a bit unclear. However, I enjoyed the good bagels, orange juice, and coffee.
- American breakfastWhat a fantastic place to enjoy a true American breakfast! From sweet to savory, everything was excellent!

Frequently criticized
- potatoespotatoes cubes were undercooked, almost raw - completely non-edible

- crepesDo not get the crepes here. They are doughy and not crisp at all.
- Eggs Benedictthe Eggs Benedict’s we ordered were all not great
- Huevos RancherosMy experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and it was the worst Huevos Rancheros of my life. The addition of Pace salsa was a surprising and unwelcome choice.
- Mediterranean CrepesOverall, the crepes weren't good at all.
- New Orleans crepeoverly stuffed with sun dried tomatoes and dry chicken pieces
- Pace salsaPace salsa on it? Wow.
- Pancakes팬케이크(비추) 시켰어요. 한국이랑 다른게 있나 시켜본 팬케이크인데 다른거 1도 없이 비싸기만한..^^ 후회중

Often praised
- serviceThe concept of 'healthy' here is a utopia: XXL portions, generous toppings, and a caloric enthusiasm that only in America can be considered a 'balanced breakfast'. That said, the food is acceptable, and while it's expensive, the service is fast and smiling. A breakfast here is worth the experience — you just have to accept that you'll leave full.
- staffThis is one of my favorite eateries in San Francisco. The staff is always super nice and helpful, and the food is delicious! There are so many yummy options!
- wait timeWe ordered from the smaller menu, which was more limited. The restaurant offered adequate seating with no wait time. Our orders arrived in a good timeframe, with a presentation that was better than expected and the food was tasty.
- ServiceService:5
- foodIt is really easy and fast to get your food
- waitThe downside to Honey Honey's success is that you need to be patient at the counter to order, and seats in the dining room are highly sought after. However, since the service is as efficient as it is professional, the wait is ultimately relatively quick. I recommend it without hesitation for a delicious break, but perhaps not every day if you don't want to upset your scale!
- customer serviceMy experience at this restaurant was really good. It was efficiently run and offered great customer service. I visited on a very busy Sunday morning while in San Francisco for the weekend.
- lineeven if there is a line up, the service organization makes it so quick

Frequently criticized
- servicein terms of service, they are not very friendly
- assist in obtaining that footage" This aligns with what the officers told me and my coworker on scene—that Honey Honey refused to provide footage for the investigation. Even if the camera outside belongs to the hotel, it would still be reasonable to expect Honey Honey to assist in obtaining that footage since it is located directly in front of their business. If Honey Honey is interested in assisting my ongoing case, please look at footage around noon from 05/02/2024.
- counterThe prices are correct for the neighborhood, and certainly less expensive than some other nearby restaurants. The downside to Honey Honey's success is that you need to be patient at the counter to order, and seats in the dining room are highly sought after. However, since the service is as efficient as it is professional, the wait is ultimately relatively quick.
- credit card paymentsProblemi con le carte di credito, anche per altri avventori
- footagerefused to provide footage to the police
- footage for the investigationAccording to the police report, "the employee told Officer [Name] that the manager would not provide video surveillance to police and instructed not to give his information to the police. " This aligns with what the officers told me and my coworker on scene—that Honey Honey refused to provide footage for the investigation. Even if the camera outside belongs to the hotel, it would still be reasonable to expect Honey Honey to assist in obtaining that footage since it is located directly in front of their business.
- gets super busy fastThe crepe was incredibly filling, packed with huge pieces of chicken, and the pesto sauce was perfect. I highly recommend getting there early as it gets super busy fast!
- help their communityestablishment who won’t help their community
- hurried from tablekind of hurried us from our table
- line to orderMy experience at this restaurant was largely positive, despite the wait. We had to wait in line to order and then wait for our table, but fortunately, a table was ready by the time our food was served. The line to get in was consistent from our arrival to departure.
If youre looking for a place with generally quick and friendly service, youll likely be pleased here. Just be prepared for potential busy periods where you might encounter a line or feel a little hurried, especially during peak times.

Delicious Breakfast with a Busy Rush
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, centered around a truly delicious breakfast. I enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs, all of which were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. The pancakes were fluffy, the bacon nice and crispy, and the scrambled eggs just right, indicating the kitchen's care.
The staff was very friendly and attentive, contributing to an even better experience with their politeness and helpfulness. The service was quick without feeling rushed, at least initially. However, a small downside was feeling a bit pressured to finish our meal faster than desired due to the busy Saturday morning atmosphere and a growing line of people waiting for a table.
Plates were cleared as soon as they were partially empty, which detracted slightly from the cozy breakfast ambiance. Overall, the food and service were great, but for a slow, relaxed breakfast, a weekday visit might be preferable to a busy weekend morning.

Great Food, High Price, Self-Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was truly great, earning a perfect score. However, the price was a significant issue.
For two crepes, waters, and a side of bacon, the total exceeded $50, which included a mandatory 15% tip and a charge for tap water. Adding to the service concerns, we had to get our own water and place our order at the counter, rather than being served by a waitress. Despite these service and price drawbacks, the excellent food and pleasant atmosphere ultimately made up for the experience.
