The Honeycomb Café, a beloved local spot known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious offerings, is expanding its menu with some exciting new items. Shout News recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Arthur Pendragon, the café’s owner, to get the inside scoop on these delectable additions.
Arthur Pendragon took over the Honeycomb Café from his brother, Leon, who chose to embrace a nomadic life in the forest. “Leon has a deep love for honeybees,” Arthur shared, explaining the inspiration behind the café’s name. This love for bees and all things sweet has been a guiding principle for the café, influencing everything from the décor to the menu.
New additions: a taste of honey
The café’s latest menu items are sure to delight both new and returning customers. Arthur introduced two standout additions:
Honey Ginger Cheesecake: This dessert features a rich slice of cheesecake with a gingersnap crust, drizzled with honey, and topped with a piece of honey toffee. It’s a perfect blend of sweetness and spice, offering a unique twist on a classic favorite.
The Honey Drop: A three-layer parfait that combines local honey with granola and is garnished with shaved fresh apples. This parfait is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a visual delight, showcasing the best of the region’s produce.
These new items were added in response to customer feedback and the café’s desire to offer a balanced menu of sweet and savory options. “People have been asking about cheesecake for a while, so we’re optimistic these changes will be well received,” Arthur noted.
A welcoming atmosphere
The Honeycomb Café isn’t just about great food—it’s also about creating a warm and inviting space. Arthur’s team describes him as “funny and a character,” someone they can talk to whenever they need support. This sense of community is evident in the café’s atmosphere, which is as lighthearted and welcoming as the menu.
While these new dishes are permanent additions to the menu, Arthur hinted at plans for seasonal offerings in the future. Though there aren’t any specific promotions planned for the launch, the café is partnering with Moonies Arcade for a special showcase of the new items.
At Honeycomb Café, customer feedback is key to balancing innovation with beloved classics. “What our customers want to see on the menu is always considered when introducing new items,” Arthur emphasized.
