About

Opened in early 2025 inside the former Garnet Vintage Home Collection storefront at 1341 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach (92109), Honeybees is a breakfast restaurant, cafe, and creamery built around a bee-themed concept the owners designed themselves. Honeycomb ceilings, soft lighting, and floral art fill the dining room, creating one of the most visually distinctive brunch spaces in the neighborhood. The all-day menu threads honey through nearly every dish, and the same creative approach to comfort food can be found at fellow Garnet Ave mainstay World Famous a short walk west. Breakfast highlights include honey dream waffles, cinnamon swirl pancakes, banana bread French toast, and a Monte Cristo sandwich. Lunch and dinner plates feature a sea bass finished with honey white wine sauce, a smash burger layered with honey bacon, and a New York strip topped with honey butter alongside seasonal vegetables. The honey buffalo chicken sandwich has become a standout among reviewers, and Honeybees Pasta offers vodka shrimp and basil pesto variations with unexpected honey accents. Coffee drinks, lavender and strawberry matchas, and a banana brulee latte anchor the beverage program, while the creamery side serves soft serve, sundaes, and banana splits. The restaurant earned a 99 out of 100 health score and holds a 4.1-star Google rating across nearly 200 reviews. Pastries, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and apple cobbler round out a dessert lineup that rivals dedicated bakeries like The French Gourmet on nearby Turquoise Street. Honeybees is open Thursday through Monday, with weekend hours extending to 3 PM, and the space also hosts private events for parties looking to book an immersive setting.
