What’s that? You’ve been to Wild Honey? Well, that’s fantastic! Because we can’t really say we’ve tasted the best breakfast experience without having been to Wild Honey!
Wild Honey offers an all-day breakfast menu, inspired by a love of travel and all things breakfast, so you can go there and enjoy the best and most savoury French toast anytime you want. And we love that!
Another thing to die for about Wild Honey is the fact that their menu is basically a VIP ticket around the world. They have breakfast plates from Brazil, Tunisia, Jerusalem, France, Texas… the list keeps going and going! And what’s more, they have vegetarian options too!
We recommend trying out their Jerusalem shakshukit—a hearty plate of deconstructed lamb and beef kebabs with cured lemon, tapenade & harissa—or their Scandinavian breakfast plate of grilled salmon fillet, green asparagus spears, crisp potato rosti and Hollandaise sauce. For a vegetarian option, there’s the Moroccan breakfast plate of spiced carrot, chickpea fritters, carrot hummus, harissa, labneh, poached egg, schug, roasted heirloom carrots and dukkah.
Additionally, Wild Honey’s menu has a huge selection of mocktails, kombucha, cocktails, wine, and beer. And their coffee? Chef’s kiss. They serve iced cold brew, 7 spices chai latte, cappuccino, Turkish coffee, Turmeric latte and more!

They eventually expanded and relocated, but the excellence of their coffee remained consistent. They are dedicated to providing higher quality control to our manufacturing as well as enhancing their services to their growing clientele, from the bean they source to the cup they serve.
