So I came back! This time, I decided to try some of their sides... because it is morning... and I didn't feel like having a simple breakfast sandwhich from my job. So... aside from getting an iced latte with a pump of mocha syrup, I decided to try their potato hash and a side of bacon. Both were delicious. The bacon wasn't cooked hard so I don't know if that is a deal breaker for you guys but I like mine with a decent chew and not all crunch. The potatoes were cooked with bell pepper and it was so good to me. The bell peppers weren't undercooked and everything had a good balance. My only take away was that I started to feel like it became greasy once I made it to the last few scoops, but thankfully, it wasn't like it was swimming in oil/grease. I also took note that despite it being a decent line, they were functioning fluidly so I really didn't feel like my wait was long at all. Gotta love sufficient service. I believe I spoke on the decor before, but if I haven't, the place is very quaint with outdoor seating. It gives off a local bakery with a hint of modern. Another thing I like is that you can see them prepping some of the baked goods as you wait. read more

A Great Bagel Shop With Pastries Worth the Detour! We stopped by this bagel shop after a nearby coffee shop told us, "You have to try their pastries," and honestly, that recommendation was spot‑on. Even though the place is known for its bagels, the pastries ended up stealing the show. Everything we tried was fresh, flaky, and full of flavor -- the kind of treats that make you instantly glad you listened to a local tip. Once we saw the pastry case, my kids and I didn't even pretend to show restraint. We grabbed almost all of them so we could enjoy a full tasting session on our road trip home, and it turned out to be the best decision! Each pastry had its own personality -- some buttery, some fruity, some rich -- and not a single one disappointed. It made the drive feel like a little dessert adventure. It was truly hard to choose a favorite. The shop itself had a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and the staff was friendly and quick to help. Even though we didn't focus on the bagels this time, the overall experience made it clear why people love stopping here. If you're in the area -- or even passing through -- definitely check out their pastries. Pair it with a coffee from the shop nearby, load up a box for the road, and you've got yourself a perfect travel treat lineup! read more

Stopped by this wonderful gem in the downtown area to try a pecan chai. I also picked up a special pastry- An Almond Croissant. It was to die for!! My coffee was quite tasty as well. I love the chai flavors. I ordered it half sweet. Perfect foam on top. Service was great. The guy was so nice and friendly. The deli is always clean and I enjoy seeing the bakers make the pastries. Pretty busy when we stopped by this morning. Forgot to take a picture of my pecan chai. It was that good! I know I will be back. Love the coffee and tea drinks and the variety of pastries, salads, and bagels. read more

Day two of my Memphis trip stopped in for a quick breakfast. Hive was in walking distance from my hotel. It's a nice small shop with a few seats outside. I looked at the menu before I came but I got a little indecisive once how I was how delicious it looked in the case. I still went with the bagel and lox but the croissant was calling me and they wouldn't let me sub the bagel. I asked for capers and the cashier went to the back to ask. We I got my order no capers, the energy was a little off from the staff so I decided not to send it back. I was still good and a big portion of salmon for the price. I'd stop in again if in the area and try something else. read more

We got the Cortito and iced latte. Both were good. Got the BLT on an everything bagel, this one was a home run. Got the veggie smash on an onion bagel, didn't get the chimichurri flavor in the marinated beets. Also thought that the beets could be sliced thinner. Got the dark chocolate and raspberry cube. Liked the texture, however was lacking in depth in the actual dark chocolate and cherry flavors. Though the creaminess was done very nicely. I would recommend a big girl flavor for each sandwich as I think this might've helped elevate the veggie smash. I think it was a triple but with a few tweaks could easily be a home run as well. May even recommend trying it on the rosemary bagel, that was one of my thoughts, however, I thought the veggies would compete with the rosemary flavor, even adding a dash of salt... Not sure very close to being perfect though. read more

I walked over from my hotel for breakfast. The staff were friendly and the store was really quaint. I ordered a breakfast bagel and a drip coffee. The cashier told me what add ons were available because there isn't a list of add ons anywhere, so just ask. I added onions, tomato and avocado and it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had in a long time!! Highly recommend! They also had some half & half and sugar for those that want it. read more

Food, is always 5 out of 5. Amazing quality and freshness, and that's where it ends. I stop by every month or so, and nobody at the front counter/register, seems to A. Listen, and B. Genuinely care about you. That said, they sure do love flipping the iPad around assuming they deserve a for a tip, for their shitty service. Seriously, at least try to pretend you want to be there. It's gotten so bad, that I'm still going to shop, but I'm done "rewarding" snarky girls for awful service, and not leaving a tip for terribly unpleasant service. read more

Alas, I've found a gem. Hive Bagel & Deli is the one and only bakery that Memphis downtown residents, visitors and tourists in downtown alike ought to pay a visit. They are the only bakery in Memphis that offers decent collection artisan croissants, bagels, breakfast sandwiches. I've been searching for a proper coffee shop or bakery for croissant to no avail. It appears that croissants are not in vogue here as much as cakes and doughnuts. Their bagel culture runs strong though as there is even an honey butter everything croissant here. Pop in, and check out their baked goods! read more

This is a nice bakery! I stopped in one morning while I was in Memphis to get a lox bagel to go. The bagel itself wasn't as chewy as I like them but there was a lot of lox and I ended up having leftovers for another meal. The other baked goods look really yummy, I would try them the next time I visited! read more

The hive is the perfect stop for a delicious breakfast or brunch! They have a variety of bagel options and everything can be made to your preferences. I stopped in on a busy Saturday and the place was packed! They worked quickly and I didn't wait long. There were a couple seats inside and a couple tables outside to enjoy your meal. I would start at hive then head to the farmers market for a perfect downtown Memphis day! I can't wait to return and try their coffee next. read more

Got here right at closing after my daughter and I just had lunch at Gus; see other review. Quality/Quantity - Wally Salad - My wife really enjoyed this salad, good size. So healthy and fresh, see picture. Chocolate Croissant - My daughter expected more chocolate, but she still enjoyed it. Meringue Cookie - My daughter really liked this; I thought it was okay. Sugar Cookie - My preference of the two cookies. Atmosphere - Small local business. Open bakery, see picture. A few indoor seats, but a decent amount of outside seating. Since we got here at closing, they suggested we eat at the covered patio of their neighbor as they have a "relationship." Open 5 days a week from 8am to 2pm, closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Clean unisex restrooms. Service - 5 stars. The "girls" were so friendly, supportive, and welcoming. They also gave my daughter a nice and thoughtful surprise. Thank you. Price - $26. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since early last year 2023. Please take care of the people that take care of you! See pictures of your great team up front. read more

The restaurant was modern, I just wish it had more sitting space. Will be going back! read more

Every person on staff was unfriendly! No smiles and grumpy attitudes. I ordered three bagels. They were not happy that I wanted them toasted. When I opened our to-go boxes, they placed a huge glob of cream cheese in the middle. Not spread. Weird. Only half of the bagel was slightly toasted. Do not recommend. I want to go where they appreciate their customers- not inconvenienced by them. read more

I always walked past this place when I go for my walks on the river. Recently started seeing TikTok reviews of this place and decided to give it a try. I came on a Sunday morning so i was expecting it to be busy. As we were walking up to the line, it seems like a couple and the possibly the owner/baker were talking but they were clearly in the way of the register. I had to say excuse me to even get through and they continue to stand in the way of other people ordering & grabbing their orders. I order a lox bagel with no onions and my bf got the chop chop chicken. We waited a reasonable amount of time and got our bagels. Once i got home, i looked at my bagel and it had onions on it when the ticket clearly says no onions. While the bagel was good, the cream cheese was not even all over at all. Cute setup and i like that you can view whenever they bake their goods. read more

Very good bagels. What else can I say?! We went two times in two days and got the breakfast bagel both times. The rosemary sea salt is such a tasty and interesting flavor that we kept wanting more. They were a good size, not huge, and nice and chewy. All of their pastries look amazing and are huge. The staff is friendly. It was super busy in the mornings but totally worth the wait. read more

Great little place and friendly efficient staff. Everything is tasty. Order online because they can get busy with a line

I haven't found a high-end pastry shop like this in Memphis! The bagels were good, but what really intrigued me were all of the beautiful pastries. I recommend getting a coffee and a couple of treats to try instead of the bagels. read more

So, I wanted a coffee, and this shop was conveniently located on front street where I was staying. I decided to go in and see what they offered... They are really a pastry shop, not so much coffee, so I had no choice, but to get some sort of baked good lol. I ended up getting a Kouign-amann which was absolutely delicious- flaky, buttery and sweet. An obviously expertly crafted pastry.... 10/10. Now, since I came in for a coffee, I decided to order a cortado which, honestly, had an unpleasant burnt taste.... so I called in and asked if I could try another coffee option, as this was my first reason for stopping in, and didn't want to be disappointed with that part of my experience... they suggested the macaroon latte, and made the exchange with no issue! It was also delicious and another tasty treat to start my morning. Great service and quality pastry. Thanks! read more

Of course, I had it on the everything bagel and it was delicious. The crowd kept flowing in. The service was great I was in and out of there within 5 min. read more

Cutest place! Amazing coffee, one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Memphis!

There's a lot of potential here. I've tried it a few times, but most of the time I'm pretty disappointed. You can't find a good bagel anywhere in Memphis. I was so excited when I saw that they offered a version of a salt bagel here. And it was extremely disappointing when I got my bagel and could tell immediately that there was NO sea salt on it at all. Also, the bagel wasn't toasted. Maybe I should have asked, but I feel like that's something you should be asked when you order. I expected it to be toasted. Maybe that's on me. read more

Firstly, the parking was easy and accessible. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and it was very good. I was disappointed there were no pumpernickel or rye which are my favorite. The brownie was excellent. So rich, fresh and delicious . We ordered a sandwich to go and told them it was for a roadtrip. So to my surprise hours later I open the box and they were not wrapped in wax or brown paper. The sandwich was excellent and very tasty. All the food was excellent! It's a very small but cute place with out door chairs. read more

I went and checked this place out because I was so hungry and wanted an nyc smear!

It's not often I'm motivated to visit a place because of a 1 star review ....but this is the exception. Only about a month old, this new place has a good variety of pastries and delicious bagels. The 1 star review done by some pedantic grumpy lady complained about TOO much cream cheese among some other nonsense easily avoidable by just ASKING. I feel strongly that cream cheese should not be skimped and I was NOT disappointed, my bagel was perfect with some tomato on it. Tip for the staff: If you're looking to add a unique flavor try Mexican oregano on top of the tomato. That's my favorite. Just a thought ‍ I will be back and based on the Saturday morning crowd.... They are being welcomed with open arms by the neighborhood. Check them out! read more
