Delicious pastries baked daily in premises. Try the monkey bread! Outdoor seating with heaters available.

I stopped in on a whim and I’m glad I did. I was torn between several items but went with the French Toast Bun (available only on weekends). Delicious! Egg custard soaked brioche with cinnamon and vanilla, then throw in chocolate chips before baking. Amazing!

The service was great, staff was nice and had my order ready right away. The only reason Im giving three stars is that the baked goods I had (looked great) were dry and tough. I may have gotten goods on an off day. The fan favorites like filled croissants and other goods were all sold out before I placed my order.During this Pandemic (COVID 19), gotta order online or phone (quick turn around online)

Amazing place. I really appreciated the selection of local goods that could be purchased in the marketplace. Everything tasted delicious and we liked the outdoor area to sit and enjoy our coffee and baked-goods. Go here. Support the amazing things local entrepreneurs are up to!

Honey and Rye has a great mix of classic bakery selections and unique offers! I have very much appreciated how they have changed in the wake of pandemic to keep their customers and staff safe. I love their filled croissants (almond and chocolate is my favorite!) And you have to try the Monkey Bread Latte. The parking can be a bit hit or miss depending on how busy they are but they are very popular for a reason! Definitely worth it every time I go!

Great pastries. My favorite cinnamon roll, ever! Oh, the staff are great!

They were out of a lot of items when we visited, so we only tried a coffee and morning buns. Only reason for the 4 stars is because the breakfast sandwich’s they offer only come cold, due to a reason involving COVID-19 I cannot remember exactly. But who wants to pay for a cold breakfast sandwich. Will return next time when COVID is more lax and earlier in the morning.

Great cannoli with many flavors of filling. The apple tart is fabulous, just as others have mentioned. I have also purchased a custom cake from the shop and I couldn’t have been happier with it.

Best Bakery in MN! Great service, delicious, and friendly staff. My personal favorite is the London Fog Tea Latte and the Oatmeal Cookie Sandwich. I choose Honey and Rye as my go to over any other coffee shop/ bakery! It is the best.

This is my favorite of all local bakeries. And… feel free to argue… my favorite pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). Amazing pies, wonderful service, great sandwiches too! Even though you can go inside now, the order ahead system is perfected.

Excellent baked goods and excellent coffee. Our favorite is the monkey bread latte! They also just started offering some danishes that are absolutely delicious but they sell out fast!

Cozy bakery with really good coffee. Our favorite was their monkey bread - not too sweet and was a great complement to the coffee! Seating can sometimes be hard to find but it has a quaint vibe inside. They have high chairs available and it is wheelchair accessible.

What a great place for a quite sit down coffee and bread. Lots of choices for pastries but not overwhelming either. I got the zucchini bread and I asked them if they could warm it up for me. I was so pleased to know that they didn’t just stick it in a microwave. No! They said, “it will be a couple minutes because we will warm it up in the oven for you.” Wow! How nice!! Yes please. Too bad I’m only here on vacation tho. Will definitely return when I’m in town again. PS: the Cowgirl cookie is also spectacular!

Review №23

No idea how it took us so long to stop by this place! The shop is very cute and in a great location. The pastries are freshly baked and taste fantastic. We got an almond croissant that was perfect. They also have cute mugs and merchandise available if you enjoy picking up souvenirs! My only problem with the shop is the size. If you go in here on a weekend morning, there might be a line out the door, which is fine in summer, but less so in the Minnesota winter. I see they have another shop at Graze in the North Loop. I hope theyre able to expand even more!

Best Lemon Bars on the planet!Friendly service, attention to detail is impeccable, flavors are out of this world!Lemon Bars are bright orange with the perfect tangy, zesty balance. The crust is flaky and sweet. The texture melts in your mouth. It really is going to be a thought every morning and hard to resist eating it every day!The baguette we split was ham, gruyere, and butter. We added a little mustard seed spread because the ham pairing and again, amazing! Bread was crunchy and soft, perfection.Flavorful coffeehouse too! The smell alone is intoxicating.Great job Honey and Rye Bakehouse! We will definitely be back!

I love this place! It has the love-crafted appeal that you come to desire when you see a small business like it. Its a women-owned and operated one, too, which is a welcome sight any day.The baked goods are amazing. Made fresh every day, around the clock. So far Ive had three items: The Chocolate almond croissant, the banana bread, and the blueberry-lemon scone. All three have defied my expectations that Ive come to have from going to chain places like Starbucks or grocery store cases. The bread was soft and buttery, the croissant buttery, flaky and sweet, and the scone was a perfect buttery crunch on the outside with a soft, gooey interior. Id recommend anything on the menu, honestly though, because thats 3/3.They serve coffee, too! I found St. Louis Park has a distinctive lack of artisan-style shops like youd find in Minneapolis and St. Paul, with Caribou and Starbucks being the highest bidders; that is til I came here. The coffee is pretty good, with locally-grown coffee from Tiny Footprint. So far Ive ordered 3 drinks: Espresso macchiato, cappuccino, and Cold Press. The espresso is pretty good, however its only natural youre not going to get as good as somewhere like Dogwood. The espresso can be on a bit of a surextraction side at times, but so far its been pretty solid. The cold press though has always been AMAZING. Tiny footprint is a good roaster, and at Honey and Rye, they make it on-site, daily. I hope to try all of their coffees to see what best fits the espresso theyre using or the roast they use for batch brewing. Either way, I always look forward to it.If youre ever in St. Louis Park, and want that eclectic coffee shop feel, but with more individual fair than a Starbucks can supply, with sweets that will make you sad you had to eat them: This is it.

Very nice service and good things. The place is small so maybe you cannot get a table, but is a nice place to have a good snack if you can.

I love this place, and they really care about their community! The first time I came in after they re-opened post-Covid, one of their front of house staff greeted me and remembered my regular order from pre-pandemic days. And their updated patio is gorgeous and a great gathering spot!

What a lovely and delicious 😋 place! Everything is thoughtful and rich with all the right ingredients- butter, sugar, spices. Breakfast scone with egg, cheese and ham was hearty and just right. My fave cookie is the ginger snap which is dark, crispy and chewy. Want to try the ‘so called Twix bars’ next time.I drink macchiatos and they do it really right.

A fun bakery with delicious treats. There are only five tables, so not a plethora of room if you are planning to stay a while, but I’ve never had trouble. Also there is a large outdoor area so I’m looking forward to warmer weather! I got the Yerba Mate latte which I was a bit worried about, but I ended up liking it a lot the sweetness cut down on the typical Yerba bitterness. The cheddar jalapeño scone was sooo bomb. I’m usually not a scone person, but it was perfect. We also got an oatmeal cookie sandwich which was also delicious (I always go savory though). All and all a good experience if you are looking to pick up some goodies.

Great selection of pastries and breads, and excellent espresso drinks!

Review №33

For pastries to take away, this is a gem. Almond chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant were so flaky and delicate, with rich contents. Morning bun unfurled its cinnamon sugar twist, perfectly moist with crisp edges. Monkey bread was caramelly and baked with finesse. They deserve a visit.

Review №35

You know that place you drive by for years and years and never stop in because youre always running late? Well, I was finally ahead of schedule today and swung the scooter into Honey & Ryes parking lot. I cant believe Ive missed out on this scrumptiousness for all these years. I got a quick snack of a ham and gruyere croissant and quickly realized I now have a favorite quick bite. The croissant was flaky and light and the ham and cheese were rolled into the croissant and not just plopped into the middle. It was the perfect proportion of cheese, ham and crispy goodness. I cant wait to try more at Honey & Rye and will probably do so on the way home.

I was in the neighborhood and wanted to find a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee. Im so glad Honey & Rye was just down the block from the yoga studio I was coming from. I decided on monkey bread and a breve, and since the seating was limited I decided to take it to go. By the time I got my drink (just a few minutes), a table opened up so I changed my mind and stayed a bit! They kindly gave me a plate and I sat down for maybe 30 minutes. As I was leaving, a group of 3 claimed my table. The only thing I would change is the amount of seating and extending the wifi. Im always looking fod spots to work from, but this spot may just be a coffee to go kind of place. Thanks for the welcoming experience!

Honey & Rye is a cozy little independent coffee shop and bakery on Excelsior. Its a great place to take a break and enjoy a treat. The coffee and baked goods are excellent, if a little pricey. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the whole shop is always clean. I recommend taking a loaf of bread home!

Review №44

Every bite tells you they use good, fresh ingredients. Plus you can sit and watch their small kitchen at work. Three people move like a co-ordinate ballet. Loved watching them pan up a huge batch of the very raspberry scone I was eating! So fresh! Check out the little retail racks by the restrooms...fun, unique finds! Definitely going back.

Great pastries, bread and pie (including quiche). Unfortunately our experience with a cake was not as good as the rest but maybe it was a bad day because usually everything is so good.

Ma
Review №46

Mildly overpriced, with some items that are worth it but some that you should avoid. Service is always friendly, and make sure you pre-order online since theyre only doing online ordering due to Covid! Before that, there usually wasnt much seating available as the location is very small, but their takeout system is efficient (and recyclable).The quiche and scones are what keep me coming back; theyre absolutely addictive. The croissants are hit-or-miss; Ive had a couple that were absolutely incredible and some that were dry/overbaked or not very flaky. Ive heard very good things about their monkey break and banana bread, but those are the sort of things I refuse to pay someone for when theyre so easy to make myself. :DDo NOT get their cold press coffee- Ive tried it three times (I forgot, dont judge me), and it was under-extracted and very sour each time. I havent tried their drip coffee, but the lattes Ive had were very good.

Delicious baked goods!! I splurged (seeing as I spent $18 here for one person 😬 a bit on the pricey side) and bought an almond croissant (favorite I’ve had in the cities), ham and cheese baguette (also delicious!) and a miel. Small shop with about 5 -6 tables inside and a few more outside. Service was really friendly and a free parking lot. I’ll be back!

This is our favorite coffee shop/bakery in the area (and weve visited many!). You should DEFINITELY check it out, especially if you like really fresh croissants, deliciously cinnamony sugary morning buns, perfect sourdough bread, scrumptious oatmeal cream pie cookies, and fantastic coffee. We havent had anything here that we didnt love!! And the its a super cute place to boot!

This place actually deserves 5 stars and I will change my review if they simply do one thing:*Get real napkins or paper towels or something larger than flimsy drink napkins. They just don’t work to clean anything up at all! Apologies but it’s the truth.On the other hand this bakery is amazing. The staff is nice, all baked goods ( and I have tried them all) are excellent, and the cappuccino is the best in town!

Great pastries and coffee with cheerful, talented staff. My only knock on this St. Louis Park institution are the comparatively high prices and limited seating. Attempting pleasant conversation with a friend over coffee and their AMAZING monkey bread, becomes significantly less enjoyable when fixed with the glower of any subsequent patron in need of seating. Best get your treats to go!
