Such a fun place to enjoy a healthy meal. There is a great assortment of acai bowls, coffees, teas, sandwiches, ice cream, and desserts to choose from! You can do some shopping there, as well. They have a section of handmade items.
The Hive is such a lovely, cozy place! The food and drinks are delicious with great variety. It's fun to look around at the local products they have for sale. The staff is professional and cares about serving customers well. Great atmosphere and experience. Highly recommend!!
I came here from the airport after an early morning flight and an earlier morning drive to the airport. The cashier answered all my questions thoroughly and worked with a 10/10 sense of urgency! I was so impressed by his dedication, as he was almost sprinting customers their plates. Then, there was a very kind employee with a pearl necklace and a great smile that welcomed me to the area. The biscuits and gravy were fantastic and my latte was perfect! I love that the cafe employs people with different abilities.
What a GEM! I really believe in giving my money to places that spend it wisely. Not only is this a local business, but it has a GREAT mission! As an adult with Autism I appreciate the cozy vibe and the fact that they don't use any "big lights." The food is great! I recommend the chocolate chips cookies and the biscuits and gravy. They also have great prices on potted plants!
I fell in love with this place as soon as I walked into the door!! It’s so cute. They have plants everywhere and things like lotion, honey, etc for sale. The workers were so nice and the drinks and food are delicious! 10/10 would recommend this place. They have so much to choose from as well
