Very local vibe and friendly staffs. (And it's very pet friendly~! Many dogs with owners at outdoor seats when I first came~)
I had the Veggie Bowl which was very warm and well cooked~! (always love veggie brekkie however sometimes the dishes were too oily or spinach overcooked etc, which didn't happen here). Soy cap was great too~!
Love to explore new cafes as I just relocate to Mel lately however this one is worth to to return~!
Very nice cafe with delicious food and drinks. An excellent owner very well run. Worth the drive or walk down. Staff friendly. Would highly recommend.
Great little cafe for a relaxed bite to eat. Their new menu has plenty of interesting breakfast dishes which are generous and delicious. If you can’t make it for brekky you must stop in and try their incredible home made cakes and fabulous coffee.
Most consistent coffee along Armstrong street.
None of the coffee shops along this strip will satisfy a full blown coffee connoisseur but this joint is the pick of the lot, I have only been dissapointed once out of >50 coffees so thats good enough for me.
Fabulous cafe in Middle Park very welcoming and friendly. Menu has a great selection and the meals were tasty and of generous serving sizes. The sweet potato rosti and smoked salmon stack is a real winner, the coffee is great.
Great food, great service and amazing prices. I have been here 3 times and will continue to return. Good for a quick bite or to chill out and drink coffee.
Love the food, the coffee and especially the service! The staff here are so lovely - they definitely set Hot Honey apart from the rest of the cafes in the area!
The coffee here is spot on.. and how I'd expect it would be made for a South American arms dealer. its priced fairly, its consistent and the staff are interested in doing their job. I can't comment on the food cause it's hard to stuff up a piece of toast.
One of those places where the ambience tells you right away that your in the right place. I din't click a lot of pictures here but I had the 'perfect latte'. I had the lentil wrap for lunch, quantity was huge but it was delicious. The servers were friendly too. Will definately be back.
Come here all the time for food or just coffee. Great service, lovely food and great atmosphere. Xx
I came here with a friend and we both enjoyed our breakfasts very much, the shakshuka was soooo yum. The wait staff were attentive and the coffees were great. It's in a lovely location in leafy and quaint Middle Park village. Will definitely come back again.
Fantastic morning cafe place. Great location in Middle Park, quiet leafy surrounds, not far from beach. Very friendly staff and great coffee.
Must try their homemade PRIKTEN muffins
The best cafe in the village.. Great vibe, great coffee, friendly staff.
Could improve so easily. This could be so good without so many little disappointing things :
- Great big room with plenty of tables, yet often forgotten by the service staff, and always fighting for a newspaper;
- Very keen service staff, but sometimes also very inexperienced;
- Acceptable Middle Eastern eggs baked in napoli sauce with dukka and chickpeas, yet the thick cast dish was so hot it kept the lot burning hot for way too long; difficult to appreciate the food. Also Middle Eastern eggs but no Turkish bread, only ciabatta offered: not a very consistent dish.
- Far from the best coffee in the street.
Still a place worth considering.
Nice ambience. The food was tasty and the presentation was good. The omelette was a little light on and could have been more substantial. Fresh juice always gets a big tick in my book: orange, apple and ginger. The waiter however thinks he is serving patrons at Vue de Monde or some top class restaurant with his pompous attitude. The cakes looked divine and seemed reasonably priced. Would go back again.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Our food arrived very quickly and they were delicious. Will definitely be back!
A MUST VISIT!!. What a wonderful Cafe!!
Great Coffee! Excellent and friendly Service and I agree with other reviewers, the Corn Bread is second to none.
In one word, amazing. Corn bread is the stand out dish at this cafe (believe me I've eaten it more than a dozen times)! Crepes are also up there.
Coffee is always fabulous. Staff are super friendly and go the extra mile. Never have to wait long, nothing is ever forgotten. Newspapers always on hand to read, love a cafe that has multiple copies of the weekend papers! Beware to those whose biological clocks arent ticking, Hot Honey is very family friendly and at times, esp on a Sat morning, can be over run with very noisy, boisterous little munchkins.
Charming with great food and service. Despite living in Albert Park for a while I somehow had never discovered Hot Honey until last weekend. The cafe has a great location in Middle Park Village which, despite being close to the city, is reminiscent of a country town. Hot Honey itself seating outside under the trees as well as inside where a large fresco brightens up the walls. The staff are extremely friendly and competent (including one who had only started the day before) and the food is delicious. The berry smoothie already gets perfect points for taste but on the looks stakes alone this one is a winner with around 1.5cm of a berry and coulis combo at the bottom of the glass to brighten up the drink (and add boost to the taste). Eggs benedict on muffins are delicious. Amazing cakes and biscuits. Thmbs up to the lovely staff who were extremely helpful and attentive without being annoying.
We have just moved to the area and was looking for a nice cafe to have breakfast in. Hot honey looked popular with the locals and te food looked lovely. We went there on new years day for breakfast and had eggs benedict and coffees. Waitresses were friendly, the coffee was good and the food was tasty. I think it's a little gem and will definatly be returning.
This place is great! The corn bread is the best in the Southern hemisphere. I have been many, many times and never had bad service, as mentioned elsewhere. I would say it was the exception rather than the rule, so 'pop' in and find out fir yourself - and order the corn bread - yummos!
Amazing little spot. Great feel about it and a wood fire sets the scene to relax. Gets very busy and it's easy to see why. I stopped by for a chai latte and it was very good. Great froth and sweetened by honey made me want to return again!

Good local cafe.. Visited this cafe on a Monday lunchtime and it was quite busy. There was the option of sitting outside in the winter air whilst being warmed by outdoor heaters or inside near the gas log fire. Hot Honey seemed to be quite popular with the locals - with good service, home cooked cakes/goodies and an array of breakfast options. Slightly disappointing to find that the lunch menu did not include any meals with red meat and too many chicken options! Nice coffee however and good service. If I was a local I can see myself hanging out here on a regular basis.
We love going to Hot Honey every week. Fantastic food and coffee in a great location by the beach.
I came here for a Sunday brunch. It was busy but not packed. Service was very fast and friendly. Coffees came out in no time. All meals very reasonably priced (approx $15 avg). My Eggs Benedict wasn't anything to look at BUT it tasted amazing! Eggs and ham were so fresh. Will def he back to try the rest of the menu
Great brunch food. Menu with a good variety of savoury and sweet dishes. The bread was much better than the usual place. Both dishes we ordered were delicious. The coffee was also great.
Nice cozy little place with really tasty food and great service.
Coffee was a bit average though and would suggest changing music to something more neutral (i.e. classical).
Very local vibe and friendly staffs. (And it's very pet friendly~! Many dogs with owners at outdoor seats when I first came~)
I had the Veggie Bowl which was very warm and well cooked~! (always love veggie brekkie however sometimes the dishes were too oily or spinach overcooked etc, which didn't happen here). Soy cap was great too~!
Love to explore new cafes as I just relocate to Mel lately however this one is worth to to return~!
Really lovely staff and great coffee, the perfect combination.
Great place for quick takeaway coffee or breakie.
My recommendation is the chilli napoli egged Benedict! See photos
I love the view from this cafe's window looking out to the tree-lined street of Middle Park. Adding to this backdrop is the food that is so delightful to taste and the inside ambience that feels so warm.
On a sunny, rainy, or a windy day, this cafe is the best place in Middle Park to spend some time arroubd a cuppa. Very friendly service and great food. Cakes are amazing too.
A Middle Park favourite amongst the locals , warm friendly staff, delicious comfort food and a fabulous selection of cakes , slices and the best chai latte’s on Armstrong street ☕️👌🏻
Had the Chilli scrambled eggs with grilled haloumi, really good food!
