Occasionally Honey

I recently learned of this place and finally got around to trying it today. We learned that they have been around for 3 years. Crazy thing is I’ve lived in the tricities (super close to this location) for the last 15 years and only just learned of them! It was a very lovely experience. It is a small dessert spot tucked away in a corner of a commercial lot. It has a very cute and cozy vibe inside but not really any seating area to hang out. The staff that helped us were very friendly and wonderful. One thing that really got me excited is that fact that they are inclusive with vegan treats. I am dairy free so it’s really helpful to see that I don’t have to miss out on delicious treats. Would I recommend Occasionally Honey? Absolutely, over and over again. Whether you are vegan/plant-based/gluten free or not, or just someone who is a sucker for a good cafe or dessert place - Ocassionally Honey is a spot to check out. I tried the soft serve (made with oat milk) with caramel sauce and chocolate cookie crumble. We also got a Lemon Raspberry creamy coco pop (made with coconut milk) - this is apparently one of their popular flavours. Loved both. I was quite surprised at the flavour profile of the coco pop but it actually worked really well and I really enjoyed it.

It's great to have a safe place for dietary restrictions of gluten and dairy free. And the owner is so friendly and kind. However, I always forget that most items I try are overly sweet. And then I don't go for a long time, forget and then regrettably remeber once I go back. It would be perfect if the baked goods and ice cream desserts could be toned down on the sugar content. I really do want to support vegan small businesses.
