The service is fantastic the atmosphere is intimate. The baristas are so nice and offer excellent suggestions if you are between items on their menu. Highly suggest trying their Mazapan espresso, executed perfectly. Just the right amount of sweetness. read more

Delicious, great customer experience, and quality pricing, too!!! I loved it and will definitely come back. I just moved from DFW, and miss all the variety of high quality coffee shops. The Hive is definitely on the top of my list for places in EP! read more

The Hive Java Lounge - Pistachio Latte w/ almond milk & 4 pack macaroons. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Hell ya, this place has really good coffee! My partner and I grabbed some coffee on our way back home to NM! The staff is super friendly and gave a great recommendation on my cold drink. I got the honey bee latte, iced, and with 4 shots of espresso and oat milk. My partner got the Banana nut bread Latte (hot) with oat milk. Also... THEY HAVE A CYBER CAFE!! At least that's what I think it was. Super fuc*ing chill place a d great atmosphere! read more

SWEET AS HONEY AS CAN BEE What can I say? I feel as refreshed as a king bee sitting on a throne of honey in a hive of infinite possibilities. At least that is how I felt from start to finish. From checking out their blackboard menu with creative lattes, coffee concoctions, and more; to the last drop of java stimulating the pleasures of every taste bud and leaving them in quivering orgasm; I definitely needed another cup. Entering this self-proclaimed java lounge, you see Mother Nature's aesthetic on display. Wooden walls joined by green turf as well as the wooden tables catch the eye and make you wonder, is this a taste of a bee's life in a hive? One can only wonder, but definitely enjoy another cup of java while you explore these questions of life and more. You can smell the coffee and feel the cleanliness of this place. The amber brown mood lighting is set by the 3-lightbulb fixtures. Walk deeper in The Hive and you see a dark, mysterious door surrounded by neon blue lights into the adjacent gaming café for your gaming delight. Now enough of this tease, let me tell you more about the taste. Note: THERE IS A DRIVE THRU! The DRINK: Tres Leches Latte: WHEN YOU NEED A PICK ME UP & WANT TO DO IT FOR THE CULTURE Unwavering, potent, delicious, and flavorful until the last drop. It arrives hot enough to soothe the cold soul and with the layer of creamy milk that leaves the surface smooth and visually appealing. Tres Leches Latte is a concerto of espresso and condensed milk with an encore of heavy, milky sweetness and bold, earthy java. Each drop is as powerful as the last and your tongue never gets tired of the everlasting taste. Milk and espresso seem like a simple concept, but this latte expresses the entire spectrum of the relationship between milk and espresso and makes it alive on your tastebuds. With strong espresso cutting into the creamy milk, you taste their individual contributions and the beautiful caramel baby that they make together. One second you taste bitter-esque and bold espresso, another second the creamy mouthfeel and sweetness of the milks, then finally together in bittersweet fashion. It is birth, life, and death all in delicate balance at the tip of your tongue until the final destination. The VERDICT: EXPECT HONEY AND RECEIVE ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD From the wooden aesthetic, the reminder of nature's bees and hives, to the mysterious dark portal into an electronic world, The Hive offers a glimpse into the world today, a mix of Mother Nature and the Human World. The drinks are creative concoctions as well as classic mixes that can appeal to any coffee/espresso lover. The Tres Leches Latte embodies 3 milks and 5 stars without question. With the potent mix of bitter-esque/bold espresso to the sweet & creamy trio of milks, the Tres Leches Latte offers an everlasting taste reminiscent of caramel, coffee, and cream. Delicious until the last drop and the flavor and taste hold strong and steadfast; it will not disappoint. I will definitely be back to try their other lattes; in particular the Dulce de Leche, Lavender, and seasonal lattes that they offer. Until then, this must be as sweet as life can bee. read more

The Hive Java Lounge - Tres Leches Latte: WHEN YOU NEED A PICK ME UP & WANT TO DO IT FOR THE CULTURE - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Cute and quaint good drink and food great staff. Enjoyed my first visit. Will stop by again.

The coffee is so good, pastries amazing and customer service is superb! Cannot wait to return!

We stopped in here for coffee passing through from california to louisiana and so happy we did. This is the cutest small business coffee shop i have ever been to, and they even have drive thru. Everything is custom made, everything! From the tables, chairs, drinks, honey, cups, food! We ordered matcha lattes, overnight oats and pastries. Service was awesome, and she wrote on our cups personalized. The bathroom was super cute too, they have take one, leave one cups and so considerate. Thank you! read more

I'm so glad I finally tried this place! It's super cute, the staff is so sweet, and the iced latte was so good and refreshing! I got a honey rose latte and it was great (didn't taste artificial like a lot of rose lattes). Husband just said "amazing how good this coffee is". They also have a drive thru if you need. Overall a must try! read more

The Hive Java Lounge - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Paso, Texas

A friend mentioned this place. Well it peaked my curiosity sooooo I came in to check it out. I tried the tres leches latte and my my buddy got the 12 OZ Sweet Ice Latte. They were both very good. My friends was not as sweet as mine though. It's a nice cozy place with a modern decor inside. The coffee shop is tethered to a gaming room which really didn't care for. I am more into the coffee shop. I wish the music could have been better or different more coffee shopish. It has 6 tables. I will return to try a different coffee. Thank you. read more

Great café. Amazing drinks. 10/10 I wish it was closer to me. Try it once and you will be addicted! Play at glitch while drinking these delicious caffeinated drinks! read more

This is my second time here and it won't be my last. Love the atmosphere. I'm currently enjoying soft jazz that is playing in the background. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. But most importantly, the coffee is GOOD! I just finished the Dulce de leche latte and would absolutely recommend it! I previously tried the cold brew and the belgian waffle and both were delicious as well. Definitely a must try for all the coffee lovers out there! read more

came here to do some homework...I fell in love with the Masapan frap! Super tasty! internet speed was great. i had headphones in so I cant comment on noise level. there were 3 other people there. Every so often people would come in to pick up and go so i would say, foot traffic was low which i like because it was less distracting. I stayed for 4ish hours. Wifi password was on the receipt. Customer service was great, they were very friendly and courteous. read more

The food and drinks are fine. However, recently the last few times I've gone in around 3-4pm to get some work done, I've been passive-aggressively ushered away by cleaning right next to me while I'm trying to work (with strong cleansers). This usually happens right around 5pm (even though closing time is 6 ). I'm not sure why anyone would chase away customers in this economy. Especially ones who wants to buy local. I guess I'll stick with Starbucks. read more

Nice spot, friendly staff and good coffee! Probably going to make this my go-to coffee spot!

Not only am I greeted warmly and sincerely by staff, the atmosphere of kindness continues while enjoying the best latte ever and a delicious croissant sandwich. I have visited repeatedly while staying in El Paso and look forward to coming back on my next trip. Genuine kindness and great coffee, food and atmosphere make it a fabulous stop any day. Thank you, Hive! read more

I wish the glitch was open next door during this time same quarantine but since they're not I just go to hive and get my latte on I don't know why everyone makes a big deal about starf*s cuz this places way better the service is impeccable and the coffee is delicious I just can't wait to be able to get my game on then it'll be like heaven so I'm giving this place a five-star read more

A good lil place to study/hang out for awhile. I agree that the tres leches latte was pretty darn tasty--I recommend! There are a handful of tables inside and outside to sit at, and overall a very chill vibe. There are a few other specialty coffee drinks on the menu, but if you're looking for a new coffee spot on the eastside, you may want to check it out. read more

The hive Java lounge is purely amazing. The service is great, the coffee is out of this world. I truly felt so welcomed in that place. Employees are extremely nice and patient. Will definitely be my go to coffee place! read more

Used to work at glitch for a bit, and I had hive coffee practically almost everyday. Loved it. Loved both businesses, everyone is awesome and sweet, and I genuinely think they need to be heard more (both businesses). I love it there and I try and recommend them to everyone I know XD. read more

This place was next to my mail forwarder so I stopped in. I like it. Back in the Dallas area I reviewed from a template so I would remember to address the factors that were important to *me*. This is my inaugural template for ELP. :-) === ambience and noise === Subdued and cool. Chill music and the correct amount of clatter from the industrious barista who keeps her area in good order. === food, drink === Came for coffee, and drank two different standard brews. Both were serviceable and sanely priced. === service === I prefer competence over fake-smiley and the barista delivered. Craftsman-like handling of her work -- she works at it like she owns the place. Maybe she does. === clientele === Young couples flirting on a date. Students writing on laptops. === Wifi and power === SSID "The Hive Java Lounge" was easy to pick out. It was also printed on the receipt with the pass. Well executed. === Sketch factor === Zero sketch. Note: the sketch factor item is a holdover from my Dallas reviews and not an indicator of any kind of expectation about ELP. === 30.06 === Not posted. === value === Decent coffee at a sane price and good wifi, delivered by no-nonsense counterfolk? Good value, I will be back. read more

Superb pumpkin spice latte! Homemade ingredients are used in their drinks. Extremely friendly staff, great space to work. I'll visit again when I'm in town. read more

The Hive lounge is the best place to hang out/ get drinks including tea and coffee with its own twist on every drink ! After hearing about them we had to come and check it out on our own. This place stands out by staffing a friendly barista that helped us choose drinks based on what we like. The small things like custom notes on the cups and the attention to detail makes this place better than other chain drink stores or any other local spot.We will definitely be coming back!!! If you haven't visited make sure to go it's necessary! read more

So good! Every time. Specialty coffee is hard to master, especially when you meet rabid several people to be a barista, recipes etc can be overwhelming for people who don't actually care about the craft. Owners are so nice! And the coffee is great and consistent every time! read more

This is the hidden gem of the east side. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable! The interior is stylish yet comfortable and inviting. The coffee and other drinks are amazing! The food delicious!!! read more

Awesome, cozy and chill coffee shop in El Paso! I was in town on business and needed a nice location to get some caffeine and do some work on my laptop, and this place was perfect. The pumpkin latte was very tasty, and the oatmeal (in fancy mason jars from a local vendor) was great! The folks who run it are very friendly and professional, and every customer who came in was treated with the utmost courtesy. I couldn't have asked for a better spot to relax and feel at home. read more

My wife and I tried this place for the 1st time, we absolutely loved the pumpkin spice latte. Honestly the owner should consider re-naming to "panty dropper" hands down one of the best latte we've tried locally. Cute trendy lounge, can skip the adjacent ultra cool gaming center. read more

The Hive Java Lounge - Pumpkin latte and waffle!!! Yuuum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This was a fun place! He he! I believe I was working with Mando. That's what it said on the receipt, anyway. Lol. He joked around a lot which was unexpected but cool! Mando knew their products very well. I told him it was my first visit. I had a hard time deciding which iced coffee to get. I went with the pistachio. I couldn't really taste it in there but the coffee had a good flavor. I like it when the coffee doesn't have such a strong taste. I also ordered some macarons and a waffle. I got my bf a chai tea. He said it tasted different than what he's used to but he liked it. The macarons were good too. I had the chocolate and pistachio flavors. I spent about $20 with a tip. I hear and read good things about their tres leches coffee. I almost went with that one but not this time! I guess I'm going to have to go back sometime. Their croissant sandwiches look enticing, too. I also like that they have a drive-thru, especially during Covid-19. Today is #ThankfulThursday on Yelp. I hope you'll join me! If you'd like to join, write one review for a local business you're happy and grateful is around! Put in the the hashtag #ThankfulThursday Let us know what you love about them the most. I am happy The Hive Java Lounge is in the 915. So yes, I am grateful for them! Let's continue to support local! read more

These two spots are connected and owned by a partner husband and wife. She makes the drinks herself and apparently it's all homemade! Pretty cool. I went in there to get a drink and they let me in on their gaming lounge 4 hours early since I was waiting for it. The coffee surprised me since I usually don't enjoy cold brews, and the man was helpful with my attempt to pass time gaming read more

I absolutely love this place. The matcha Latte is to die for and the waffles are incredible. Recommend if you need a nice relaxing place to hang out or study. read more

I was surprised to see El Paso had a cute coffee shop in this area. I hadn't had my coffee for the day and was in dyer need. The barista was really nice and helpful. Because for now I have diet restrictions I was not able to try the 3 leches latte and was a bit bummed that the coconut latte just had coconut flavor. I ended up having an almond milk latte (was offer a coconut milk latte) but decided to stick with my choice. To my surprised the milk was not burned and made perfect. I recommend you try this place especially since they are open until 7. read more
