    Cool restaurant with perfect location to the beach. A lot of good options on the menu to eat that are healthy and filling. Delicious coffees too! I knew I wanted to stop in when I saw they had chaggacino on the menu. I had Donnie's Breakfast Burrito and it was very big portion I ended up saving some for the next day. Good prices as well and nice service. Cute place to grab a bite in MB!

    Great location, nice seating inside and out. Friendly service. Nice menu selection. Close to the beach. I ordered a latte and unfortunately wasn't the biggest fan. It kinda tasted like a cup of sweetened milk. Really wanted to like this place but the coffee fell flat for me.

    The Hive is such a great spot for a fresh, healthy breakfast -- everything we ordered tasted clean, vibrant, and made with care. We loved both the breakfast sandwich and the avocado toast -- simple, but packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The location is perfect, with ocean views right from the indoor seating area, which makes it an ideal place to start the day. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the overall vibe was bright and welcoming. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be back.

    Love stumbling across new cafes in the SouthBay! The Hive is a super cute cafe in Manhattan Beach. It offers healthy superfoods for breakfast, protein bowls, açaí, coffee, smoothies and more! It has both indoor and outdoor seating. There isn't a whole lot of seating, so not ideal for a large group. Parking was a bit challenging as I only saw street parking and not a parking lot available. Hubby and I got coffee and a little snack. I got the horchata latte and hubby got a bee keeper latte. We also got a sweet treat to share, a chocolate donut. The lattes were delicious and the donut..... probably one of the best donuts I've had. The service was great with friendly staff. I also love the brightness of the space. Bright vibrant colors! I'll be back to try one of their bowls.

    06-2025 I usually frequent the Hive in Santa Monica, but the Manhattan Beach location blew me away! The view and window seating create such a vibe--you just want to linger. I ordered my go-to breakfast bowl (no kale), and it was as delicious as ever, perfectly prepared. Angel, who was holding down the fort solo for a bit, deserves a huge shoutout. Despite the rush, they were incredibly pleasant, friendly, and efficient. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service--Hive Manhattan Beach is a must-visit!

    Their Blue Crush smoothie is superior to any smoothie I've had at Erewhon (where I am a Cafe member). With more creative choices, they could definitely give Erewhon some major competition. The staff is also super nice and helpful and they are close to the

    This was exactly what we were hoping for - clean, healthy food, high protein options as well as GF options. It was a small shop and we ate outside...it great. We got a smoothie, a breakfast bowl & breakfast burrito and they were really good and tasty

    Came due to the high Yelp! recommendations for inexpensive breakfasts with vegan options. While I decided against the vegan options, the mocha & breakfast burrito were good- but they weren't inexpensive. I'd call it an average price for delicious food. But the service was great, and the view of the ocean was really nice. B+

    I've ordered the Hive's build your own bowl twice now as takeout and it's been super good both times ! Their steak portion is generous and perfectly seasoned. The meat is not too well done and is tender. Their toppings are well executed. I like their Brussels sprouts and broccolini. The ambiance inside isn't my favorite hence why I order takeout but I'll continue ordering to-go from here !

    Today we had the pleasure for a 2nd Saturday in a row to get drinks and today something to eat at The Hive!! This is one of the coolest spots with a very nice view while relaxing after a long morning walk! Service is fast and the food is delicious. Please stop in and try them out!

    Sun God Smoothie
    Shanelle S.

    Cute, bright cafe with outdoor seating. Grabbed a smoothie with a friend and sat outside to bask in the ocean air. The service was friendly. You order and pay first, then they'll bring it out to you. They have a couple of spots for parking in their garage, otherwise, there's some metered street parking. If you order a smoothie to-go, it appears that you get more than if you drink it there, so that would be my tip. This place is on the pricier side but it's very health-focused.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Brielle H.

    This is a great place to stop in before or after the beach! I had the breakfast sandwich and it was super yummy. I also grabbed a smoothie later in the day and it was equally as good. You order at the counter and take a number while you sit inside or outside and the service is relatively quick. It's a very cute little restaurant, definitely worth a try!

    Great healthy beach cafe with an amazing view of Manhattan Beach. The freshly painted mural gives the cafe a pop of color and stands out on the street. There are seats both outside on the patio and inside on the 2nd floor which is a short walk up the stairs. They have a vast selection of smoothies, teas, coffees, and breakfast/ lunch options. My friend and I decided to try their coffees, the Alchemy bowl, and their Salmon Benedict special. Loved the colors in my coconut acai bowl! It definitely was a dessert like bowl but a teeny bit healthier with some superfoods in it. Our salmon Benedict was fresh and also a great choice that they should keep on the menu. The coffees were quite bland, but the girl offered us more stevia drops which definitely helped! We stayed for a bit to get some work done and the views of the ocean and sunset were definitely worth visiting for!

    UPDATE: I WAS…read moreWRONG. THE FLAT WHITE IS NOT GREAT. IT IS AVERAGE NOW. Also... I stopped coming here a lot just because the friendliness feels like a big hit or miss. Not sure what it is or if its me personally for whatever reason, but, despite being super friendly 100% of the time, the owner just acts kind of rude and unfriendly to me for literally no reason at all. I promise I don't smell bad and I brush my teeth before I come. I smell really good. I promise! I think the owner is probably on some hipster nonsense bs energy. Cool man...yeah man... It's a shame because its literally the owner who is the rude one in my experience, not any of his staff. His staff never gives me any of his same stinky vibes. P.U. dude... Sorry, but I don't need to feel tension or your bad energy when I'm paying you like $7 for a flat white that takes you 30 seconds to make for me. Sorry to be such a big bother for asking about some of your food items to see if they are vegan so I could possibly pay you more money to buy a food product from you. SORRY FOR TRYING TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING YOU BUSINESS WITH MY MONEY!!! SORRY!!! Okay?!! :( When you started rolling your eyes or exhaling that passive aggressive breath out because I was such a bother to you, it was in that moment, yesterday morning, that I left Gitana knowing that I wouldn't come back. From now on, I'll go buy the $7 flat white at Caffe Luxxe in MB located the exact same distance from my place. They do not have delicious food like you do, but they also don't have any of your attitude. Positive attitude to your friendly customers is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than sticking to your pretentiousness and icky, terrible vibes. Sorry if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to be Oscar the Grouch to me while I was Elmo. Elmo sad now. Elmo REAL SAD. :( :( :( Caffe Luxxe it is because, even though I kind of like your café better, I like being treated with respect WAY MORE than I will ever like your coffee. It is what it is...

    Okay, Blue Butterfly Coffee Co. has my heart now. We popped in on a busy Friday afternoon figuring…read morewe'd be hunting for a table, and nope--found seats no problem. That blue butterfly tea latte? So good, and so fun--it's the kind of drink that makes you happy just looking at it. The coffee's great too, so honestly you can't lose. But here's the thing that actually got us. The staff was warm and genuinely helpful--the kind of people who make you want to stick around. So we did. My friend and I sat down to catch up over coffee and looked up about four cups later realizing we'd basically closed the place down. And they were so gracious about it, not a single "are these people ever leaving" look. As an introvert who doesn't linger just anywhere, that says something. We'll be back. Probably soon.

The bacon was nice and thick and the muffin had a nice crisp without being brittle! So yummy! Coffee: It was good for sure. I think I generally prefer it a bit sweeter. It tastes a bit more of a flat white, but was still 4 of 5 stars for what I like. I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte. Environment: Definitely more of a small shop vibe rather than industrial Starbucks. But a well done small shop where you can comfortably hang out and chat or read. Tables are a bit close in the main, but it's not a problem unless you really like your space. Again small shop vibe, I enjoyed it. But if you do need more space they have a full seating area right next door!
