Reception
Jeremy Pawlowski included HunnyMilk in the Travel Channel's list of Portland's four "must-try" brunch eateries. In her review for Willamette Week, Kiana Pontrelli wrote, "Unless you have a dime to spare and time to kill, HunnyMilk isn't likely to be your go-to weekly breakfast spot. But it's a place to treat yourself and dream of the days you can't. You pay for the sunny atmosphere, the friendly service, the sparkly crayons and coloring sheets at your table and, of course, the delicious brunch. Whether you're seeking the perfect Instagram or the ultimate comfort food, HunnyMilk provides both." She also said the restaurant was best for "stretching brunch into a multihour affair".

Michelle Lopez included the restaurant in Eater Portland 2018 list of fifteen biscuits in the city "that would make any Southerner proud". 1859 Oregon's Magazine included the business in a 2019 overview of the best eateries for a "bountiful" brunch. The Daily Hive said HunnyMilk started as one of the city's "most desirable pop-up weekend brunch spots" and included the business in a 2021 list of five eateries for "delicious Southern-inspired" biscuits in Portland.
