    Not recommended. Ordered lunch at 2pm there and received delivery at 4:43pm: cold lattes and food. They said they will only give a 20% discount - on what is now early dinner. We also ordered a gluten-free carrot cake for over $10, and they delivered a cheesecake! For the total price of around $68 for a few items, 20% discount for a cold meal and almost 3 hours of waiting time is not acceptable.

    I went inside this place very timid because I’m a newly vegan and I didn’t know what to order . Both of the women in there were EXTREMELY rude . Not sure if my ethnicity had something to do with it . I proceeded to order a snack which happened to be disgusting. They have nearby competitors that you may want to shop with because they are the worst .

    The prices here are absurd. I had a small salad (it was cold, you just pull them from the fridge like you would at a grocery store) that consisted of only chickpeas, kale, and a vinaigrette. It cost $12. And I saw a small cold pasta for $14 as well. The food is fine if you want to avoid something unhealthy, but it feels like a shakedown eating here because of the prices.

    This was my second time going into Busy Bee Organics. My son loves the chocolate cookie dough balls so I decided I would try a smoothie and bagels. I got the mango crunch smoothie with coconut milk which definitely lives by its name it’s super crunchy, it was a little hard to actually drink and wasn’t the best smoothie I’ve had before especially for a $10 smoothie. I also got two everything bagels, lightly toasted one with butter and one with Creamcheese. My entire order was close to $30. I decided to sit out on their outside patio with my son to eat our bagels. I was honestly disappointed the butter wasn’t melted, the bread didn’t even feel as if it was toasted, granted I asked for it to be lightly toasted so I took a bite. The bread was hard as if it was just defrosted. The young lady that assisted me happened to be fixing something right outside so I asked her if the bagel was toasted and she said “yes” with a smile and I told her “oh, because it’s very hard” to which she replied “Oh, really?” Then walked inside and never came back out. I’m pretty sure the owner or manager was there as well but didn’t say anything either. I’m sad because we live so close to the bakery and I was excited to have found a place I could walk to with my son but I’ll be checking out other bakeries in the area especially after spending a good amount of $ on bagels and a smoothie.

    Best health-supportive place in all of Hudson county, hands down! Busy bee is a hidden gem in JC- serving 100% gluten-free options, which is a safe haven for me! You can feel the love in every dish and i love that it’s thoughtfully created with a balance of macro and micronutrients. As someone who really cares about the quality of my food, i know every time i was through the door, i can feel good about the choices i am fueling my body with. Thank you for existing!! 🌟🌟 and if you haven’t tried their meal delivery service, you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s delicious and a god send during a busy work week!

    The wait is over! Busy Bee finally has a cafe to grab all my favorites. Lemon bars, black bean brownies, honey, sauces, granola, soups, and of course....coffee! EVERYTHING is expertly prepared with top quality organic ingredients....and love. Not to mention the thought put into using locally sourced produce and ecologically minded packaging. Michelle and the crew live and breathe for healthy food and a clean environment 24/7. What an awesome addition to The Heights and Riverview Park. Highly recommended for every meal.

    Terrific addition to the heights! Dairy free, gluten free, and vegan options abound here. Eggs and dairy are available too so it's a great choice for a party of mixed diets. There are many sweets, including healthier options like chocolate avocado cupcakes. The chocolate dipped strawberries are delicious. The carrot bar makes for a great snack when you want something just slightly sweet, not too sweet, and filling. The bakery items often vary so you can find something new and delicious next time you stop by. The bagel Sammie is a great breakfast choice. They also have plenty of refrigerated meals you can take home for later, including yummy frozen soups, spreads like beet hummus, as well as some pantry items. Check out their website for their meal delivery service. ***Now open Mondays!! 🙏🙌🌠

    So Delish and a neighborhood favorite! The Buffins are my staple but I can gush about most of their bakery options. The savory foods are good too especially the sauces and soups, which are wonderful. Holiday time this is my go to for cakes and pies….the apple crisp is amazing! So grateful for the gluten free, vegan and organic options. It’s a worthwhile stop!

    This place is fantastic. The PB samoas are some of my favorite treats ever and I always stock up during menstruation week. Everyone who works at Busy Bee is also kind and friendly. I'm obsessed with their vegan parfaits too, especially when they add cut apple to the top! And their granola is next level. I do wish they had mac and cheeze that isn't squash based as I can't eat squash and am vegan, but alas, this place is a rare gem and I'm so grateful for them.

    Jamie, Michelle, and the entire Busy Bee team are incredible, to say the least. Not only do they offer delicious, healthy, fresh, and organic food, but they are truly a customer-first business. They have an amazing meal delivery program and after experiencing a few issues on my end with receipt, they were gracious enough to find a solution for me to ensure I received the meals. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and above and beyond customer service. You bet I'll be ordering again soon! :-)

    One of my favorite places to get coffee/brunch and little snacks. They make vegan desserts that are addictive. Customers service is wonderful everyone is always so nice. Very chill positive vibe in there. I am obsessed with the lavender lemonade! They have pre-made items in the fridge to go and very good breakfast sandwiches.

    So great to find a dedicated Gluten Free spot on our travels from California. It can be hard finding celiac safe food spots. It’s a cute spot with good food and service. Great pastries and grab and go items as well!

    Probably my favorite place to eat in the heights. Super cute Cafe with breakfast, lunch, desserts, and to-go fridge items. Always smiling and so sweet, the ladies here make great gluten free, vegan, snd vegetarian options. Please try the tofu breakfast burrito. Hands down best!

    My fav spot for a healthy snack! The food is always delicious, tastes like it’s all made from scratch (and most of it is!). Falafel wrap is awesome. All of their sweets are unique and delicious. I especially love their beet & rose latte!! It is a little pricey but I like knowing that what I’m eating is fresh made, from scratch and healthier!!

  • 5/5 Justin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything here is so great!. Glad to have finally discovered them. Quickly became my go to spot in The Heights when I need something fast and healthy. Breakfast Burrito, all day..can't go wrong. A+

    The food here is so delicious and every food preference is accommodated. Vegan or paleo or vegetarian alike can find high quality, delicious and nourishing food at a very reasonable price. I wish I lived closer. I would eat here every day.

    Last two times I came my coffee was cold and tasted old. Even the banana bread I ordered was given to me cold. When I used to come in the beginning their coffee & vegan treats were really good. Not sure what happened.

    My husband and I just started using their meal delivery service and are kicking ourselves for not trying this place sooner! The food is so delicious! My husband, who is a big meat eater, did not even realize it is vegan :) We love that they do free local delivery service on Mondays in environmentally friendly packaging. Highly recommend!

    This is a very cute healthy food cafe. I just stopped in for a smoothie. It was pretty good but a little pricey. Their baked goods looked delicious.

    LOVE Busy Bee Organics, I've been a fan from when they first opened as a stand at the Grove street farmer's market. So awesome to see they've opened up 2 locations. Honestly the best place in JC to get food you can eat every day. Also, Chef Michelle is insanely knowledgable about the nutritional... she's always down to talk about clean eating and the love she puts into her food.

    Came here with friends to have organic apple cider and mushroom soup. Both were great to taste

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious! I’ve been meaning to check them out for a while and so happy I did. We ordered a couple different sandwiches and treats and couldn’t decide which was our favorite. Definitely coming back and highly recommend. The vibe and staff were splendid as well.

    I was so thrilled to find this little gem as I was passing through. I got a delicious gluten-free zucchini chocolate chip muffin-- and it was loaded with undetectable protein which kept me satisfied for hours. I'd definitely recommend it!
