Sharing God’s love with the world through relationships, example, contributions, and stewardship

Our desire for Honeysuckle Biscuits and Bakery is to become part of your family and woven into the fabric of the community. Remembered for special occasions and moments, returned to for that great slice of cake or favorite biscuit and recommended to friends and family as the place to go feel loved and welcome.

Our Mission

An Open letter to our Guests

I grew up on Honeysuckle Court in Smyrna, Georgia which, as it turns out, was a pretty great name for a future bakery.

Some of my favorite childhood memories were made in the kitchen, baking biscuits, cakes and cookies with my mother and grandmother. There was something special about the way good food brought everyone together, and those memories stayed with me long after I grew up.

I always dreamed of owning my own business, maybe even a bakery, but practicality won out. After graduating from Berry College with an accounting degree, I spent the next 20 years building a corporate career and raising our family in West Cobb.

But that dream never completely went away.

Years later, my husband Mitch and I had what seemed like a slightly crazy idea: What if we opened a bakery built around my mom's homemade biscuits?

We imagined a place in the heart of our community where families, friends, neighbors and college students could gather around really good food. A place where you could start the morning with a scratch-made biscuit and a great cup of coffee, come back for lunch, or stop in later for something sweet from the bakery.

But from the beginning, we wanted Honeysuckle to be about more than food.

We wanted to build something bigger than ourselves, something that could make a small difference in the lives of the people who walked through our doors. Everyone carries burdens we may never know about. Our hope is that through genuine hospitality, kindness, generosity and our faith, we can be a light in our community and help people leave feeling a little better than when they arrived.

Great food is just the beginning.

In June 2018, Honeysuckle Biscuits & Bakery opened its doors on Main Street in Kennesaw, Georgia. What started with a family biscuit recipe and a dream became a gathering place filled with people we have been incredibly fortunate to serve.

In 2024, that dream grew again when we opened our second Honeysuckle in Holly Springs, Georgia.

Today, we're still doing what we set out to do from the beginning: serving scratch-made Southern comfort food, baking plenty of sweet treats, pouring great coffee, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

We're constantly growing and learning, but one thing won't change:

We want every guest to leave feeling better than when they walked in.

Thank you for supporting our family, our team and this crazy little dream that started years ago on Honeysuckle Court.

We can't wait to welcome you!
