Honestly Delicious, a unique neighborhood café and bakery, opened in Nassau County on Aug. 18. The café offers a large variety of fresh, made-from-scratch lunch and bakery items. Honestly Delicious owner and chef Christine Bernhard appreciates the importance of high-quality ingredients and incorporates them in her selection of treats and savory meals at the café. 

Wraps, salads, and sandwiches are available on the café menu, which is now currently expanding and features healthy options, those with dietary restrictions. Low-fat, gluten-free, and flourless cookies and breads are also available to customers daily. The warm and comfortable atmosphere is the perfect destination to enjoy one of its specialty-flavored cupcakes, including French toast and bacon, cookies and cream, cotton candy, chocolate and peanut butter, and red velvet, and its more traditional flavors vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

Honestly Delicious also offers a catered event space, perfect for birthday parties, bridal showers, meetings, and seminars. The party room includes five to six tables and opens to a beautiful and elegant English garden. Kids can enjoy camps offered at the event space, where baking cookies and cupcakes is the focus.
