Honey Brewed Cafe opened its first Pennsylvania location on Oct. 29 at 227 Hamilton St. in Allentown, occupying a renovated space in the American Plaza shopping center. The fast‑growing café concept brings specialty lattes, frappés, crepes, waffles, sandwiches and a range of baked goods to local residents seeking an “everyday luxury” experience.
According to WFMZ, the brand launched its inaugural shop in Montclair, New Jersey, in October 2025 and added a second location in Hackensack, New Jersey, in February. The Allentown shop marks the chain’s first entry into Pennsylvania, with additional sites planned for Bethlehem’s East Third Street and for Paramus and Clifton, New Jersey.
Manager Dalia Elias said the café offers more than a dozen specialty lattes priced at $6 each, available hot or iced. Flavors include honey bun, dulce de leche, pumpkin spice, chocolate‑covered strawberry, toasted almond mocha and sugar‑free vanilla. Other drink options feature Turkish coffee, hot chocolate, green, herbal and chai teas, mango and lavender lemonade refreshers, honey‑coconut colada, and mocktails such as passion‑fruit mango, strawberry and watermelon.
The menu also lists blended frappés (honey, Nutella, pistachio, lotus), milkshakes (espresso, Oreo, cheesecake) and smoothies (mixed berry, peach mango). Signature crepes and waffles are highlighted, with varieties like the Dubai (Nutella and pistachio drizzle), Oreo chocolate strawberries, lotus and white‑chocolate bananas, and a build‑your‑own option with assorted toppings and drizzles.
Sandwiches, served on ciabatta and priced at $10, include a chipotle Buffalo deluxe, a signature turkey, a pastrami crush and a fresh caprese. A selection of baked goods and desserts rounds out the offering, featuring almond croissants, cinnamon rolls, tiramisu, chocolate and red‑velvet cakes, among other treats.
To celebrate the grand opening, Elias announced a special where any crepe or waffle paired with a latte is $12. On Thanksgiving Day, the café will provide complimentary lattes from 10 a.m. to noon as a thank‑you to the community.
The Allentown café operates daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and showcases a modern chic aesthetic with green velvet banquettes, pink velvet chairs, marble tabletops and honey‑themed murals that echo the brand’s “honeybee spirit.”
Looking ahead, the next Lehigh Valley location is slated for East Third Street in Bethlehem, while additional New Jersey sites are slated for Paramus and Clifton. Residents can stay updated on specials and future openings by following Honey Brewed Cafe’s Instagram page.
