In the act of full disclosure, I'll admit that the owner of Honey Bee Bakery is a longtime friend of mine. I say this to note that I am being as honest and unbiased as possible in sharing this review. To be fair, it might be difficult to find folks in Medina who don't know Keni, the owner. She is a veritable treasure to the city of Medina, and her bakery venture adds so much charm and value to the historic town square.
All that aside, this bakery is absolute genius at making customized orders. I can't think of anything they wouldn't be able to do. You want a Star Wars cake in the shape of a light saber? Sure. You think a vegan red velvet would rock your birthday party? Done. You just want a cute honey bee hive cookie to make your day? Of course! If want Pinterest level baked goods, this is the place to find it.
I decided to order some sugar cookies for a friend's bachelorette party. I simply mentioned the words Jane Austen, and Honey Bee whipped up the most beautiful and personally crafted cookies I've ever seen. Not only did the cookies impress everyone at the party with the hand written icing script and gorgeous color scheme, but everyone loved how soft the cookies were. They were the perfect balance of icing and cookie.
Of course the bakery itself is full of it's own charm as well; there's some lovely seating options right by the window, and the bakery is accented with thrifted and antique materials, giving it a custom feel among the Victorian same-ness on Medina square. I would highly recommend trying out ordering something from this bakery for your next event... you're sure to impress others and you'll love how tasty the results are!
