    Bowl of chicken noodle soup, build-your-own breakfast sandwich, half chicken bacon ranch sandwich
    Zachary H.

    Great café with local honey and prepped freezer meals! This place is a regular pick whenever we want to sit down for some coffee/tea and small breakfast/lunch. Their rotating soups and baked goods are always delicious and fresh! Today, we had the chicken noodle soup with half a chicken bacon ranch sandwich, and a build your own breakfast sandwich. Both were great! The staff are always nice, and the custom mural and decor were made by local artists! They also sell local honey in various sized containers ranging from a small squeeze bottle to a half gallon container. It's a charming and welcoming place!

    I've driven by The Beehive what seems like a zillion times over the past month or so as I've dealt with my father's hospice, subsequent death, and now dealing with his home in nearby Putnam County. Today, I spent some time clearing out my father's home and helping my nephew, who'd been staying with him prior to his death, settled in a new residential situation. As I was driving through Danville on the way home, I stopped at the town square and decided to have a late lunch in the area. To be honest, I headed first to Square Burger. However, as a wheelchair user I was dismayed to see a step into their establishment. No go. I wasn't in the mood for Mayberry Cafe despite my love for the place. I looked over and realized this was a great chance to check out The Beehive. The Beehive is just off the square and shares a building with Two Guys Pies. The US 36 entrance is not wheelchair friendly, however, the back entrance has a nice concrete ramp (I did find the sidewalk a bit narrow - I noticed as I entered here that had I desired to visit Two Guys Pies there was a bicycle on the sidewalk that would have easily blocked my access). This is an attractive building. The Beehive has been here a little over 10 years. I'm not sure I'll describe The Beehive accurately - it's sort of a coffeehouse meets breakfast/lunch joint where you can also get fresh, local honey and other frozen goods to take out. They do catering and offer deli sandwiches, beer/wine carryout, a build your own salad menu, local meat and produce, and the aforementioned frozen goods. They also have a small retail area where you can buy honey, t-shirts, and other items. A good amount of their sweets utilize honey instead of sugar. I parked on the square in one of their accessible spots (parking is free, up to 5 hours for accessible parking but only two hours for others). I wheeled around the building - someone was planting plants/flowers and was super friendly and stopped his work to make sure I could get through). They close at 4pm on Saturdays - I arrived about 3ish. I ordered one of their combos that included a 1/2 sandwich, chips, and a drink. They do have unsweetened iced tea, fountain drinks, and a variety of canned/bottled drinks (including Choc-ola!). They also have a ton of coffee/latte type options. I found the prices to be reasonable. This is especially true given these are healthier options (though certainly not everything here qualifies as "healthy."). The employees were friendly. They were quiet, however, service was quite good. I loved the atmosphere. I had zero issues finding a wheelchair friendly table. I could independently reach everything I needed, though I'm sure they'd have assisted if needed. This wasn't a mind-blowing experience. It was simply a really good lunch in a pleasing atmosphere at a fair price. After an emotional experience like clearing out my family home (which isn't yet done), this was a great way to relax and calm the emotions. I enjoyed the sandwich, which is toasted, and they had Miss Vickie's potato chips. I'm not sure why it took me so long to stop here, however, I'd easily return for the simple yet wonderful menu, great drinks, warm atmosphere, and friendly employees.

    I stopped in for the first time and tried their Honey Nut Latte today. The flavor was really nice, but a little milkier and sweeter than what I usually go for. Totally a "your mileage may vary" situation--if you like sweeter drinks, you'll probably love it. The space itself is cozy in the best way, with plenty of chairs and tables that make it easy to settle in and get some work done. The staff were genuinely kind and warm, which makes a big difference on a first visit. Overall, a really inviting spot. I'm planning to come back soon--and bring my husband along to check it out.

    In need of a good cup of cup, we stopped into the Beehive because it is always great! The S'Mores Latte paired with a S'Mores Macaron was delightful!

    When you come into the beehive you are greeted with heavenly smells and kind greetings. There is a treasure trove of sweet treats behind the glass and I'm sure they taste as good as they look. Overall a friendly atmosphere with great breakfast/ lunch options. A cozy friendly vibe makes this place a great nook to read or even get some work done and make it a must.

    This was my second time at The Beehive in the last few months. The first time I got the Nutella latte hot and now I tried it cold yesterday and I have to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure which version I love more. The place has a super cute vibe, and the bathroom is very clean. Great little coffee spot if you're roaming around Indiana.

    Food is amazing! Only negative was that the last time I got an iced coffee here, the flavored powder was not mixed in and the whole drink tasted grainy. Aside from that experience, The Beehive atmosphere was amazing and had excellent service!

    What a darling, local, independent little cafe! Just off the square they offer breakfast, lunch, and TONS of beautiful baked goods. I had the BYO salad and chose all my ingredients. Honey lemon dressing was delish. Hubby had chicken bacon ranch sandwich and mushroom spinach gnocchi soup. Grabbed a raspberry bar and snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. There was also a freezer case where you could grab casseroles for home.

    The Beehive in Danville is usually our first stop in town. We pick up lattes and choose from their wide variety of breakfast sandwiches or BYO salads (chicken salad is best!), and then walk over to the square to window shop. Service is always friendly and food is above average! Not getting food? There's also a cooler section with take-home meals and a small apparel/gift section with a cute honey bee theme!

    I just loved my lunch at the beehive it is casual but well decorated. They also have many to go frozen entrees they sell to take home to heat and eat. I got the sandwich soup combo an it was great. Very quick place to go to get a casual lunch.

    This is one of my favorite local small businesses!! The fudgey brownies are the best I've ever had and I will randomly drive 1 hour round trip for them with no regrets, but then I discovered that they have so many custom items to choose from that taste homemade and freshly made. I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon egg cheddar cheese red pepper and spinach and I love you can choose a half order. You order at the register and they will make it to order for you. Very casual cozy spot and I just love it

    Worst customer service. Their store opens at 6 but their deli doesn't open until 9 am. Even though…read morethere was someone there perfectly able to slice meat for customer requests they refused kept pointing to the sign that they "don't open until 9am".

    This is where I go most of the time to shop. The pharmacy people are great. Lynda is great! There…read moreare a couple that I choose not to go in their line or the self check out if they are around on purpose. They aren't so nice. The one that wears a mask will tell me to move out of the way if there was a problem with the self checkout register, like today. I was explaining to her what was happening and she just interrupted me to say I got it. Today was a grand reopening. This morning there were so many more people there. It breaks my heart that there are so many people that can't even look you in the eye and say hello or even smile. They had groups of people that were not customers standing around talking to each other, but would not engage with the customers. Outside, there are little booths with products. I walked out there after I filled my cart up and paid and not one of them said hello to me. They were all too busy talking amongst themselves. What happened to being people friendly. I did not grab any of their free products. Today the store was cleaner than I've ever seen it. It disheartens me and people don't have the heart to even just say hello or smile. It's like a bunch of robots. All these people that are there for the grand reopening will eventually go back to wherever they work. There are people out there who need someone just say hello. I hope whoever is reading this thinks about others even if it's just for a second.

    Kroger - The pasty inside of a cherry pie. No fresh type cherry filling. Nasty. It's always this way. What a waste.
