Nice little shop we found during the 4th of July festival. Staff is super friendly and the snack choices were top shelf. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family visiting the area.

Went by on a Saturday afternoon for coffee and a cupcake. Both were really good. Bought a pound of coffee and it was so good at the cabin. Gets a little loud and bathrooms were not working.

Let's talk apple fritters. We were waiting a table at Everett diner next door. We went next door to honey bear got some coffee and apple fritters. The fritter was gigantic, can easily feed 3. It's nice that the glaze isn't overwhelming, it's just right. The breading itself is not too sweet, the apples were caramelized before it was fried. It was not slapped together like some I've had. It was purposefully made. It was not overly sweet, good chewy texture, with a hint of sweetness, it was heavenly. The coffee is excellent, it's nice that it's from a local roaster. The coffee is fresh, not some watered down swill. I will be back next time I'm in town

My family and I are from Tampa, Florida. We have visited Bryson City for vacation twice in 2024 and now 2025. All 3 times we swing by Honey Bear’s Bakery for the Apple fritter!!! Unfortunately this might be the last time we go by there since we heard that the apple fritter might be going away hopefully that doesn’t change… Thanks, the Rivers Family

I got the eyes wide open coffee ice cream and it was some of the best I've had. My wife got a strawberry cupcake. There is a lot of variety here (coffee, ice cream and bakery items) plus lots of seating. The staff here is super friendly too!

This is now one of my favorite businesses in town. Really fun atmosphere, always cool in the summer and toasty in the winter, the staff was so friendly to me and all my kids. I came here with my mom, with my sister, with some out-of-town friends, and with my whole family, and every experience was fun and comfortable with plenty of seating, even during peak tourism season. The menu is vast, with a little bit of something for everyone. My friends got coffee (one hot, one iced) and said it was excellent, my kids and I got ice cream (TRY THE PURPLE DAZE FLAVOR!!) which was also excellent, and I’ve had friends who have tried their baked goods and loved them as well. I also appreciate that they have clean bathrooms and free water! I only wish this place existed when I was growing up in Bryson City! <3

After a long day of outdoor fun and tubing we needed a pick me up for trip home and this place came highly recommended by a local. The brewed coffee was smooth and robust in flavor. Wide variety of sweets but we opted for half a dozen cupcakes, so many interesting fantastic flavors! The lemon was so smooth and tart with an additional zing of lemon curd inside the cupcake. The naner pudding was super tasty, my husband had a some chocolate and liked them very much. Cupcakes are visually appealing with a generous amount of smooth and creamy frosting and moist cake portion. Will stop here anytime we are in Bryson City. Grace , the young lady that served us was a delight.
