| - WOW. I'm loving all these additions to East Liberty area. First time at Honeygrow, and it definitely won't be my last!!
My experience: 11/10
The restaurant is welcoming and clean. It offers limited seating but has an open feel to it especially with the large windows. On the day we went, it was a clear day so it was nice to have the natural light and view of the cathedral across the street. It has a self-order system with 4 large screens that are easy to navigate through HG's 3 main menu options: salads, stir-fry, and honey bar. They really nailed the user experience. When picking the salad, the name overlapped pictures of each salad so you can get a better idea. Once finished, you receive a ticket # and help yourself to a seat. Didn't wait too long. Midway through lunch, an employee came to check on how we were doing. Later, another employee came by with free samples of 2 of their juices and their winter kale salad.
Food: 10/10
My friend ordered the sweet soy five spice stir fry which she enjoyed. I ordered the Make it Grain salad. Portions are huge; flavor was fantastic and tasted fresh for only ~$8. We tried the honeybar (~$5-$7), opting for the medium honey (they have 3 types: dark, medium, light) and toppings such as bananas, blueberries, granola, and chocolate chips. It's basically a cup full of fruit and toppings with honey drizzled in between. They don't skimp on the toppings, so you're paying a decent price for what you're getting. There could have been more honey or possibly an option to choose how much you'd like it in (just a thought!)
