Honey Hi

Cafe · Grain bowls · $$

A daytime café that earns its spot on cooking, not wellness copy: grain and miso bowls from farmers'-market produce, bone broth, a banana toast people come back for. Gluten- and refined-sugar-free throughout, which you'd never guess from the cassava chocolate chip cookie.

Counter order, daytime onlyOrder at the counter; the room is small and fills with laptops mid-morning. Kitchen stops at 4pm, every day.

Save is private and adds it to your shortlist. Vouch is public: it tells the editor, but doesn't change the rank.
