Honey Moon Bakery

I spent a good quarter of my paycheck here during my undergraduate education. Everything is good: food, service, and atmosphere.
The cakes are my personal weakness – I’m practically married to them. I only wish Honeymoon sold more slices, because buying a whole cake means eating the whole cake and then lying on the floor in a sugar coma (at least for me).
I’d recommend the chocolate sour cream cake or cupcakes, which are sinfully fudgy. The cheesecake is also wonderful, with delicious crusts on the original and weekly specialty flavors. The best of those is the Oreo; snag it if you can.
Overall, this place is great for a date night bite or a dessert for the family. I wish there were more bakeries like this.

I bought two jumbo strawberry cupcakes and one mini raspberry cupcake for me and my partner. My partner don’t eat raspberry and I do! It was alright.
I saved two jumbo strawberry cupcake for me and my girlfriend. I waited until she was on lunch break, I had to bring and we ate together. It was sooooooo GOOD! I love their homemade strawberry icing. Very rich, fresh strawberry you could taste real strawberry once you bite it. I could have taken picture but I ate it all. I definitely will come back and I’ll make sure I take picture before I eat it all, lol.
Will highly recommend y’all to stop by there and promise y’all won’t be disappointed!

We stopped in this afternoon after lunch for a quick treat. Love the atmosphere in there. Great little shop. Bonus points for the Snoopy gingerbread house.

my favorite of All bakeries pralines !!!

A fabulous bakery with beautiful and delicious everything! Expensive but worth the splurge.

This place is awesome! We used the bakery for our wedding cake. Months before we went for a tasting and had a hard time deciding. Everything is so good! We decided on a pound cake with lemon pastry cream. One our of guests told us the cake came straight from Heaven! It was delicious. The people at the bakery are so kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Oh and btw, we had some of their brownies which all the guest devoured. And we had some cheese straws straight out of the oven on one of our visits. This place is top shelf!

This is a cute little bakery in the heart of Rome. It is a must visit spot! Delicious biscuits, cookies, and cheesecakes! We wanted one of everything!

I have been to Honeymoon about 4 times in the past 8 months. It was time for my overdue review! This is the bakery!!! I have gotten so many different items from cupcakes to cookies and they are all excellent!
My favorite is the pecan bars!!! The best bakery around! Very nice staff! Can’t wait for my next visit! Yum!!!

Literally everything here is amazing! I had a cupcake, it was $ 3 but I ate it over the course of 2 days you definitely can’t eat a whole one at once! Try the cheese straws they are amazing!

This cute little bakery saved our night after an overpriced and uninspiring meal on the square. We ordered cannoli and chocolate torte and both were amazing. We enjoyed a cup of locally roasted coffee which was pretty tasty. I decided I must come back to sample some of the gelato which looked heavenly, and I was also impressed to see many gluten free options available.

I was visiting a friend and she said that this was a must while I was there and she was so right. The gelato was super good and there were sooo many pastries and treats to choose from! I ended up with gelato, a cupcake, and a lemon square and they were oh so good. Definitely coming back when I get the chance!

I just realized I had not written a review for this wonderful bakery. Any time I’m in Rome I have to stop here. It has yummy cakes, cupcakes, pastries, gelato, cookies and muffins. I go in for a cream horn., as they are my all time favorite pastry… but usually end up with a box of goodies. Everything I’ve tried has been great. Today I’m having a blueberry biscuit. I’m earlier than usual and they serve biscuits before 11:00. They are huge, I’m taking half home with me.

Lately I’ve been a bit mopey because my recent pastry experiences have been lacking in flavor. Not bad, mind you, just ‘meh’. So find me surprised that an impromptu stop at this bakery totally changed my run of luck! It’s small, a bit unassuming but totally packed on the night we were there. Good sign and good stuffs.
We had a lemon bar, a fruit tart and a cannoli. The lemon bar was tart, not too sweet and possessed a really good shortbread style crust. The fruit tart was excellent! Real homemade pastry cream, fruit ripe and that shortbread crust again. Cannoli = good. Crispy and creamy. We told ourselves we’d only eat a few bites of each and would save the rest for the next day but, nah, we were only kidding ourselves. We gobbled them down with wine in our hotel room while watching a John Carpenter flick (The Fog). It was a sweet end to a weary day of traveling!
I will say that you do need to be ready to order at the counter because it does get chaotic when there are lots of folks there. We didn’t branch out to try anything besides our ol’ standby favorites (the 3 we chose) because we didn’t want to hold anyone up or wait a long time by passing our turn.
Prices are extremely reasonable.
Service was friendly considering how busy they were.
Check out the armadillo groom’s cake replica they have. A nice nod to Steel Magnolia tomfoolery.

Excellent and yummy!

Honeymoon Bakery, located next to Harvest Moon Café (they share a door on the inside), is the quintessential downtown bakery. You’ll always find standards like eclairs, cookies, and tarts. I can personally vouch for the eclairs and cream puffs, both of which have generous amounts of cream wrapped up in positively delicious, fresh pastries. I am a fan of their miniature cupcakes, which allow you to try a couple of flavors when you’re not in the mood to commit. Today’s flavor of the day was a banana cupcake — banana bread cake, banana and caramel frosting, and a sweet banana chip on top. My inner monkey is swinging from the trees today. In the summer, check out their gelato case. They also have a few brownies every day in flavors like turtle, peanut butter, and s’more. The place is solid, but missing a couple of bakery favorites like fudge, divinity, and homemade doughnuts.

We love us some Honeymoon Bakery! Pimiento cheese is awesome… canolis fresh and delicious… key lime tart is good mix of sweet and sour… pralines=YUM…have had several other things that were all good. I like to get something new to try every time that we’re in town and able to visit.

Yumbo! Great breakfast.

Gigantic biscuits… gigantic biscuit sandwiches. Mmm. This place can get busy on a weekday with locals. That said, the dark coffee (because the lighter roast was out) was pretty good. If you’re in Rome and looking for a great local coffee and light breakfast, come to the Honeymoon.

I have been here a hundred times and I have never left without a smile on my face. They have the best cheesecake and you get a very large portion for a good price. They made my daughters first birthday cake and it was better than anticipated. I can’t speak highly enough for this place. I wish I worked there or lived nearby so I could eat there everyday. Parking may be hard to find sometimes.

I’ve only been here once, with my family, but we all had a good time. Here’s what I like:
— It’s in a neat section of downtown Rome. We’d just finished up at Mellow Mushroom and decided to walk over.
— It’s well lighted and roomy inside. They resisted the urge to fill every square foot with tables and chairs. Thank you, Honey Moon peeps.
— I had some black-​berry sorbet that was amazingly incredible. It seemed like it was at least 50% smashed up berries, just exploding with genuine blackberry flavor, seeds and all. LOVED it.
— Each of my kids and my lovely wife found a flavor of ice cream that they liked.
— The young folks working there were attentive and respectful, as if they enjoyed working there.
I can’t wait to get back to Rome and try this place again. It may earn one of my rare 5-​Star Reviews, but I’ll have to try a few more things.
