Why You Should Try Honeygrow

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Penn chapter.

Honeygrow prides itself on local, fresh ingredients that are prepared daily. They boast a menu full of a “myriad of local vegetables, fruits, proteins, cheeses and homemade sauces and dressings.”

How it works: When you go into the inviting, clean restaurant there are touch-screen computers for you to customize your order. The stir fry is amazing and I really recommend trying it. It comes in cute Chinese takeout style boxes and can be eaten with chopsticks!
