    a table and chairs in a cafe

    This place isn't the easiest to find if you're not very familiar with Kutztown... but it's so worth it! Chose the Fin sùt sùt, Red Thai Noodle Bowl... vegan Thai coconut curry with rice noodles and veggies... if you could only smell how good this smells. Stop in sometime and say hi to new owner Sarah!

    Wow. Let me start by saying I am not a vegetarian but I love locally sourced fresh food. I heard about hive cafe through their hot sauce business and decided to give them a try. Being not familiar with Kutztown I wasn't sure where to park but I parked on the Main Street and cut through to the alley. The building is well marked and is adorable inside. I decided to go with a burger since I really enjoy veggie burgers. I ordered the one with mushrooms and blue cheese (local of course!) and had it served over greens. The burger itself was wonderful - great flavor, texture and with a nice char on it. Probably the best veggie burger I have had. You can tell that it was made from scratch and a lot of thought went into the recipe. The blue cheese and mushrooms were the perfect pairing - adding richness and tang. And finally the greens were so fresh. I realized I ate them all before I had finished the burger because they were so good! The oat milk soft serve was a nice end to the meal. I love ice cream so wasn't sure what to expect from this non-dairy version but o was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and flavorful it was. I'm glad I tried it and would definitely have it again. The two people working were both extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely be back!

    My husband and I absolutely loved their buffalo "wings"! It's a must try for sure. This restaurant serves organic food and roots their practice in sustainability. It was great to see the wooden utensils and compost system they have going on there. So happy to support local restaurants who care about the environment and the health of the people they serve!

    This place has the best vibe and nicest staff. The menu could have used a few more vegan options but what I had was good and came out quickly. The salad that came with my lunch was good, but the must store the dressing in the fridge because the evoo was solid. No need to refrigerate balsamic and evoo friends! The salad was colorful and fresh. Delicious beets! The grilled cheese was tasty and the bread was very fresh tasting. Overall, I need to go back and try their vegan cheesesteak next time! Also they had vegan treats from Bethlehem and I got the PB brownie and wow. That was amazing. I also bought a loaf of the fresh bread and a few other items and everyone on the staff was helpful and told me when I almost got something not vegan so that was super.

    We stopped here on our way to Bethlehem. We ordered salmon tacos, the mushroom panini, and scrambled tofu for our children. My fiance also ordered the green hemp smoothie. The portions are medium size, if you are ordering the tacos, you'll definitely want a side. The atmosphere was great. They had eco friendly utensils and straws. My only complaint is that the ordering system could be more organzied. We were asked three times while eating whether an entree or salad was ours. Perhaps give order numbers a try? Would definitely recommend and return.

    Any place where I can add organic tofu to my salad or get a vegan cheesesteak earns 5 stars from me!

    The food was pretty good but the wait was crazy! There were 3 other groups in there at the time I had to wait over 25 minutes for 1 bowl.

    We camp near Tamaqua and came across this gem this year. We've traveled to the cat cafe in…read moreWilkes-Barre so we had an idea of what this is like. The owner was very welcoming. The coffee selection was decent for a cat cafe with a big selection of flavor syrups to add to your drink. The little gift shop was fairly priced and had a lot of unique things. I loved the little black cat mascot, as we have a few furry voids at home. There was about 16 cats in the room when we went on a Saturday afternoon. You can tell they are well taken care of and that the staff cleans very frequently in there. With the 3 of us and the other family we had enough room that we didn't feel jammed in. There was one orange cutie that kept trying to knock my Niece's drink off the windowsill, and a precious long haired grey cat that claimed my husband's lap for the last half of the hour. We were given wet treat tubes to feed them which all the cats went nuts for and there were plenty of feather wands and toys for us to interact with the ones who wanted to play. The coal theme plays in perfectly to the area and the wagon appears to be the hang out area for the cats. It was a fun experience we plan to do again soon. It's a great cause (socializing and getting cats adopted) and the owner is obviously passionate about the mission.

    1/29/23 I had no idea this business was even here! I found a promotional write up when I was…read moreenjoying brunch at The Station. Kim and Ron are the owners of this very friendly business. Their goal is to find homes for these adorable felines and so far have placed 24 cats into forever homes in just three months. As Ron mentioned, you don't do this kind of business to get rich. I think it's more of a vocation. There is coffee and packaged treats available for sale. Not only that but a selection of T shirts, and fun toys for your favorite feline. The real stars here are the wonderful cats. I personally love how the owners tied in the Coal Region history into this modern forward thinking (in all the right ways) business. You will sign a waiver to enter (customary) the cat area. It is themed with all things Coal, like a mine decoration, pick axe and even a "coal wagon" delivery wagon (the cats seem to love it). We stopped by in passing but you may reserve time online. The number of people permitted is six maximum. The only other such cafe I knew of was in Philadelphia. I believe thanks to Covid and lockdowns that went under. The owners are enthusiastic about helping animals and customers visiting. Please support this incredible business and bring your little ones and friends to enjoy these sweet creatures. I did not get pictures of the entrance room but it is organized and colorful.
