Second time we came, a few days later, at 12:30 we arrived. This time they were busy, and couldn't be bothered being nice and told us to look at the menu instead of questioning them about food preparation, etc. We left.....wouldn't you?

Disappointed at first that there was no muffin but greatly enjoyed my toasted cheese scone. Done to perfection. Staff friendly but lots of them standing around and coffee delivery slow as they couldn't find us - I had said we were outside and we were the only table waving our number. Also not that busy. Staff need better training.

They have the best Belgium waffles I've had outside of Belgium. They're coffee was also pretty goodread more

Our second visit cemented this place as a regular stop for us. All three of us thought our dinners were delicious! Mine was a touch too spicy for me, but our very thoughtful server offered to help and when that was declined, she brought me a large glass of the most delicious milk (this IS New Zealand! Yum!). Portions were plenty without being daunting, and the decor is eclectic and fun. This is a great place to come for a drink, and even better for a meal!

It's a spacious and very relaxing space which offers a good range of options on its menu (we have various dietary requirements and tastes) and Hive exceeded our expectations. Service is friendly and quick, they are flexible with menu variations to suit diners' needs and the whole experience is great. We had the Halloumi Salad, Fried Chicken Burger, Waffles with Chicken & Bacon with some Curly Fries. It was all delicious, fresh, colourful and quick. Coffee is good too. You can sit indoors, on the outdoor patio or upstairs - it's such a great find. I wouldn't hesitate to come back - thank you!
