Crema's Take

“The B. Hive has mastered the rare trick of being simultaneously a serious espresso destination and a genuinely welcoming community hub where you'll actually want to linger—the staff makes everyone feel seen, and the rotating local art on the walls gives the space real character. Their cold brew and espresso drinks are reliably excellent, and the food (think avocado toast and the beloved Whammy sandwich) goes well beyond typical cafe fare. If you're in the area and want a coffee shop that feels like it actually belongs to its neighborhood rather than just occupying space in it, this is worth the detour.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Great vibe, great food and great staff. Their iced coffee, iced latte and Whammy sandwich are my favorites. Their avocado toast is also very good. Definitely recommend.
