Honey Hi

"A trip to the fully-GF Honey Hi for colorful smoothies and seasonal grain bowls is such a refreshing experience you might consider leaving town to go start a hemp farm in Ojai. If you’re on a GF diet and craving pancakes and bread, this is the place. Our must-order is the Moroccan-spiced Lambwich, a perfect combination of a lamb-beef patty and halloumi with an acidic punch. The laid-back atmosphere with quick in-and-out traffic makes it great for solo diners, and you can entertain yourself by perking up to the ’90s alt playlist." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder

"Sit down in Honey Hi’s bright, inviting dining room for a gluten-free all-day experience in Los Angeles. That means everything, including the pancakes, toast, and sandwiches. Be sure to take in the creamy chive-flecked eggs served with buckwheat sourdough or the breakfast sandwich piled with caramelized fennel, onions, arugula, and avocado mash. Just about every dish can be ordered with meat or modified to be vegetarian or vegan-friendly." - Mona Holmes, Nicole Adlman

"Open since 2016, Honey Hi is a long-standing Echo Park daytime cafe. The dining room is small, but soaked in sunlight and laden with natural wood. Find bowls, sandwiches, and more, featuring well-sourced animal proteins and produce." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"It’d be easy to write Honey Hi off as just another Eastside spot cashing in on Angelenos’ obsession with wellness. But Honey Hi is a lot more than that - it’s a great neighborhood cafe that serves gluten- and refined sugar-free classics food like a lamb burger, Thai green curry meatballs, and sweet potato and avocado toast. And if you’re in the mood for something slightly less healthy, the mochi pancakes are some of the best pancakes in town." - brant cox, brett keating

"Honey Hi is new to Echo Park, and from afar, doesn’t seem too different than all the other healthy cafes that open every week in this city. It’s bright and airy, they serve gluten-free cookies, and just about everything comes in a bowl. But the difference is everything in those bowls is actually pretty good, and the space itself is surprisingly low-key. From the jade rice miso bowl to the Moroccan stew to the Thai green curry, Honey Hi is that rare combination of being healthy and also not boring." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
