On New Year’s Day we visited the Vancouver Honey Cafe on St Johns Street in Port Moody.
As you might guess, the Vancouver Honey Cafe has a wide variety of types of honey to sample and to purchase.
Honey with bee propolis, mineral enriched honey, buckwheat, clover, wildflower, and every other imaginable type of honey – all from bee hives that the owners of the cafe manage.
While they have all imaginable types of honey, the Vancouver Honey Cafe is also a perfect little community coffee shop where you can sit with a friend or family and enjoy any of the usual coffee or tea drinks – hot or cold.
There is a sideboard with a variety of types of honey – including a slab of beeswax filled with honey. Just like all those busy little bees left it!
Folks – if you do visit this sweet little cafe and want to sample the honey in honey comb, do it. But be sure to use the metal spoon that is on the honey comb slab to scrape up some honey and then put it on a clean -UNUSED wooden spoon. Please.
Anyway, on that sideboard there is a variety of types or flavours of honey to sweeten your drink. My personal favourite is buckwheat honey. It has a deep and earthy funk that doesn’t appeal to everyone, but it sure works for me.
The cafe also has a variety of sandwiches, croissants, and donuts. While we were at the cafe we tried a mochi donut. As it turns out it was a gluten free donut and, well…it didn’t work for me.
I like my doughnuts sweet and light and full of all that pure, wholesome doughnut goodness. That’s what I get when I visit Doughnut Love. And well, anyone who knows me knows that I am Doughnut Love’s biggest fan.
I have not sampled the gluten-free doughnuts at Doughnut Love so I can’t compare, however, I didn’t like the way the Vancouver Honey Cafe gluten-free donut was so dense. On my next visit I will try a regular mochi donuts to give them a proper test. All to maintain my journalistic integrity.
The cafe is a sweet little place (see what I did there!) to meet up with friends and sip a coffee or tea and share a sweet or savoury treat.
The Vancouver Honey Cafe is located at 2340 St Johns in Port Moody.
