    Coffee
    Elena L.

    The place itself is small and cozy, and the menu is pretty simple, mostly coffee, a few snacks, and a couple of food options. It's not the kind of spot where you go for a full meal, but for a quick bite or a coffee break, it works just fine. The coffee was actually nice, smooth, not too bitter. I also ordered a sandwich, and that part didn't go as smoothly. They completely forgot about it, so my friend and I ended up sitting there for almost half an hour before we finally went inside to ask about it. Only after that did they bring it out. It wasn't a huge deal, but it definitely took away from the experience. Inside, though, the atmosphere wasn't quite my style. The interior is noticeably dark, and it felt a bit heavy, so I didn't feel like staying indoors for long. But the outdoor seating completely changed the experience. Outside it's much brighter and more welcoming, with a comfortable, relaxed vibe. If the weather is good, it's honestly a great spot to sit for a while, drink your coffee, and just slow down a bit.

    I had never been but it was worth the wait. I had to do some work and I typical stay home and work. Sadly, my furry BFF and soul dog crossed the rainbow bridge so I've been trying to get out more and be busy. I digress.... The people were very friendly. I dropped something out of my wallet and the guy in front of me helped me pick it up. I needed a pen and the nice barista lent me one! Two sweet ladies on the couches watched my stuff while I ran to the restroom. :) I didn't make it outside because it was chilly and there were lots of kids running around but...goats showed up outside. GOATS!! I don't know if it's a regular thing but everyone loves goats right? I think they have wine etc in the evenings. I will have to check that out too! Living south sure has its perks!

    Cozy and quiet coffee spot. The indoor and outdoor space is huge, but the parking is not great. There are also play areas outside for the little ones. The service is okay. My husband and I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and they put them on the same plate. Very strange to assume two adults are going to share one plate of food. The coffee is good, but the food is premade and reheated. The hive is an "a-okay" place for the area, but I would not go out of my way to come back here.

    I stopped here right before getting picked up by an Uber while my car was being serviced next door at M&E Auto (they are bomb) and get a coffee. I got the Golden Hour which was not anything turmeric adjacent but is actually a marshmallow hazelnut latte. I got it with oat milk and what I liked the most is it was very lightly sweetened and the flavor was light and not overpowering. Only a couple people were here on an early morning and they must have WiFi because a couple people were working from their laptops. I'm not sure what happens in the rest of the building because there are areas and what looks like a bar but I couldn't tell. They have a decent amount of parking inside the fencing and some outside. I'm from Florida and one thing about I notice about Austin TX is there are an obscene amount of coffee shops. I'm not sure if the Hive is THE coffee spot but it seems like a quiet place to get away and get some work done or meet someone for a bevy or wait while you get your car fixed.

    I absolutely love this place!!! It's friendly for every adult. They have a whole outside area with a playground. The inside is huge!! I was looking for a perfect work coffee spot and I think I found it.

    This is further south than I would usually venture but I would say a great work from home spot for anyone in South Austin! The staff was really friendly and was able to guide me since it was my first time visiting. It is a great place to work- plenty of tables and even couches. They also have an outdoor area and meeting rooms(not sure if you need to reserve beforehand). I literally came just to work so I got one of the specialty coffees with a little bit of hazelnut added Plenty of parking, so dont worry about that.

    I was there Saturday for their grand re-opening. This place has made some changes and I'm all about it. I dig the new vibe and the direction they're going being more bar oriented while still having the coffee shop open until 5. They moved the coffee counter over inside the building so now the cafe and bar have their own designated area. The new bartenders they brought in are fantastic, all super friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to see how things progress as they continue to renovate and expand!
