Every few months I get together with one of my favorite girl bosses in Jersey City, Krista aka Grandma Downtown. We hang out, catchup and just eat. That’s what we do, we talk shit and eat our way through Jersey City. Our first stop at one of our recent outings was The Grind Coffee Shop in Bergen-Lafayette. We got our coffee on and a snack and we were off to our next food destination. Honey Bakery.

Honey Bakery is located on Bergen Avenue in the McGinley Square part of town. It is an Uzbek/Russian/Korean fusion style restaurant. I first tried their food when they would sell their dishes at one of the farmers markets before they opened their brick and mortar. I’ve been waiting to pay them a visit for a very long time!!

We asked the owner what we should order and she recommended the following:

1. Borsch
2. Lamb Samosa
3. Asparagus Mushroom Samosa
4. Spicy Lamp Steak Sandwich
5. Cottage Cheese Cookie

While we waited for the food, we admired the awesome menu on the blackboard that was drawn by street artist Mr. Mustart who is also Russian.

The ambiance is very chill/laid back. It’s not a huge place but we got there early enough to get a seat. At around 12:30PM there was a line out the door of people picking up food and dining in. They also have WIFI.

Time to eat!!

Fun Fact: My mother is part Russian, so I grew up eating Borsch. Now, my mother is the best cook in the world (I swear she is). So finding a Borsch in the New York area that was up to par with my moms and grandmothers has been actually pretty difficult…. until now. Honey Bakery nailed it!! It was crazy delicious! Really hit the spot.

The food was so fresh and delicious. Everything was made on the spot and the whole meal was really affordable. They are definitely a must try! And they deliver!! #winning

The cottage cheese cookies… I need like twenty of them right now.

Thanks Honey Bakery!!! I will be back very soon.
