The Hive - Protein Bowl - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

When you walk into this cute hipster place you're greeted by the friendliest people and the art on the walls is so bright & happy. I started with the SUN GOD smoothie which was so yummy and the perfect wake me up to start our morning. Between the cacao,cold brew,cinnamon, and maple my mouth was one big smile!!! My friend and I both had looked at the menu before coming and as soon as we saw the Daily special, we both changed our order! The LOADED AVOCADO TOAST was the bomb!! There were so many different colors and it just looked beautiful! The avocado was so fresh, and the Sriracha aïoli was such a nice aftertaste on top of the feta!! it came with the side of tzatziki sauce, which was kind of weird and neither of us ate it - it really didn't need that. The portions were huge and neither of us could finish but it was because we were so full! I cannot wait to bring my husband and to try the salmon toast! Every single bite was totally yummy!! We will be back!! read more

So happy to have this in our backyard in Manhattan! Staff is SO friendly. Super healthy and well priced. I built my own warm bowl and my boyfriend got the special beef breakfast burrito. I also got an iced oat matcha, which was perfect and not too sweet. Can't wait to be back! read more

The Hive - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I really like this spot! I happened to come here randomly while waiting for someone at their doctor's appointment. Today, with a bit of help from the very friendly cashier, I chose the avocado toast with a poached egg. Honestly, it was quite good, though I think it could have been just a little better--mainly because the bread was slightly over toasted. But that's just my personal taste; someone else might love it just as it was. Overall, it's a visually appealing place, and I'd say the food is pretty good. If I ever find myself in this area again, I'd definitely return to try something different. read more

The manager there is horrible with his new staff and the customers. Very rude and aggressive and harsh even to a little old lady that was before me. They may produce good healthy food but coming in was a disaster. He ruined the entire experience for me, my friends and the other 5 customers that were in and was yelling at the front register new girl I felt so bad for her. If she sees this I hope she learned she doesn't deserve to be treated like that by anyone. Complete ass. Never coming back even though I liked their food and smoothies but he just made it so disgusting. read more

Been here a few times and every single time there are so many flies inside that it should be called the flytrap, not the hive. Otherwise smoothies are pretty good. read more

The Hive - This is supposed to zap the flies ? It's inside the place - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I really enjoy this place! I live super close and it's perfect to grab a bite in the morning or during lunch. The food quality is consistent and the drinks are really good. The staff is also friendly and attentive. I accidentally ordered from the Venice one time and they helped me out. They're seating or you can create your own standing section and stand on the other side of the counter and look at the ocean while you eat! read more

The Hive - They allow dogs - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Lovely little spot. Very understated with a quick bite impression, yet anything but! Extensive healthy menu, I opted for the Salmon toast w/ poached egg & Oat Milk Chai Latte. Ordered at the counter and clerk was friendly and helpful. Chose to dine in and grabbed a seat upstairs with a beautiful view. Latte was perfectly prepared. Food took the appropriate time for a properly cooked meal. Presentation was beautiful, taste was excellent in every way: toast nutty soft & crispy, avocado ripe and proportioned properly, added ingredients complimented perfectly, a hint of lemon & egg was poached precisely right. Exceeded expectations & so satisfying!! 10/10 read more

The Hive - Smoked Salmon Toast w/ Poached Egg & Oatmilk Chai Latte - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I'm not sure about the food. I've yet to taste it but the view is nice. The atmosphere is nice as well. My review is based on the amount of flies I see in the restaurant. I noticed flies as I was ordering and while I wait for our food. I'm only staying because I would like to compare the quality of their food to what is posted on their website. read more

I wanted to love The Hive, I swear, But the salt content gave me a scare. Tuna conserva, way too strong, Made the whole dish completely wrong. Pulled chicken, too, was over the top, For "superfood," the salt should stop. Smoothies are good, but prices are high, With flavors this off, I'll say goodbye. read more

Their food were great and everything was on point from tastiness to the freshness. The place to go for good quality food.

I loved the fresh and delicious food and staff are all friendly! So happy to have Hive in the neighborhood. We'll definitely be making this a regular for lunch! read more

Wonderful place to eat. Clean and inviting . Indoor and outdoor seating , pup friendly. Four people eating all different meal and we were all more than happy. Food to live for. Would always like to bring people I love here to share a meal ! read more

Very very healthy food! The breakfast was good, just a bit under salted which is probably a deliberate move. Nice employees, lots of variety on the menu. There's outdoor seating so you can enjoy the ocean view. read more

The Hive - Açaí bowl - Cafes Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Had a weekend stay in Manhattan Beach recently and this was by far my favorite spot in the area. Got the Buddha Bowl and Green Hornet smoothie. The Buddha Bowl came out presented beautifully. Every component in the dish is fresh, well prepared and seasoned properly. Beautiful harmony of flavors and textures. I prefer a kick so I took advantage of the abundance of hot sauce they have. Portion size can be stretched into two, or finished all in one sitting if you're super hungry. For $15, it was 15x more delicious and nutritious than the sad $17 sushi burrito I got at Sloopy's down the street the day before. The smoothies here are fantastic as well. IMO The Hive is better priced and way better tasting than most health food spots in LA. If I lived in Manhattan Beach, I'd be here at least once a week. Bonus points for giving my dog a water bowl. read more

This is a nice cute spot in Manhattan beach w/ a view of the ocean. People are very nice and foods are pretty decent. would def come back.

Ate here recently with a friend and really loved their "build a bowl" options: I got the pulled chicken with quinoa, whipped hummus, seasonal greens with a ginger dressing. The whipped hummus was a great complement as it was light and fluffy, favorable. The fermented beets, seemed to be raw and hard to chew. My friend had a similar dish with a matcha which she raved about. We split a chocolate croissant that was also yummy. They have gluten-free desserts that I will have to try next time! High-prana meals! read more

The cookie was delicious. Delicious coffee and cool work space that you can see the ocean from. Service was great too.

the burritto was incredible. definitely will be back to one again. if you run the area and looking for a proper coffee, and a fun spot to chill with a good vibe; the hive is the place. cooking I heard is unreal, hoping to try one soon. service was wonderful as well. great people. great food. read more

Cute cafe in Mar vista with coffees, smoothies, and healthy lunch sets. Great place to meet a friend in a quaint and friendly environment.

Really good coffe and food. The beekeeper is my favorite. They have little games and the service is good

Smoothies are good. Too many flies with doors open and hot temperatures. They were everywhere from the tables to the ordering area and trash cans. Need to find ways to keep flies out and sanitary for customers. Hope management sees this and makes changes before they lose customers due to lack of cleanliness read more

Good food and nice people. Comfortable seating inside and out. Take out is great too. read more

Used to come here all the time for the salmon avocado toast, which was $16. They just took it off the menu so now you have to order the regular avocado toast and add smoked salmon, which takes it $23. Won't be coming back. read more

So excited to see The Hive join the southbay. A much needed healthy spot just 2 blocks up from the strand right on Marine & Highland. Perfect location, perfect menu, delicious food, coffee and smoothies and such a great place to hang. Established in Santa Monica forever so they're not NEW, just new to the neighborhood & I'm so happy they're here! BONUS points cause they have plenty of GLUTEN FREE options too read more

Great healthy food with a view! Service was very friendly as well. Absolutely recommend. Parking can be tough

Great service, love the food and good prices! It's also nice to go there to get some work done. There is plenty of room to sit down. I hope this one will stick around! read more

Came for the first time today, staff was great but i paid extra for bacon in my burrito but they did not add it, then on top of that THE FLIES, there were so many flies we almost left. Someone needs to do something about that. GROSS read more

The food and service were really good, and the servers polite, but the biggest problem is the auditory environment and the loud music. I have autism and sensitive hearing, and the music was very loud. I needed to put in air pods with the noise cancellation setting on, and even then the music was still indeed audible. The environment is definitely not autism-friendly from my experience. read more

I'm from Dallas and came into this place a few times during my stay here in Manhattan Beach. This restaurant is really good. Great coffee and food. What stood out the most though is how nice the guys are taking the order. They are supper friendly. Great personalities! read more

The food comes very quickly and it is delicious. There are a variety of things on the menu, so you have many options. Overall it is a great place and I do recommend it. read more

Good food. Fast service. Easy to order and a great location with a view of the ocean. Park at El Porto and walk to the hive for a great walk/lunch date. We had a bowl and a breakfast burrito- both delicious and healthy. Can't wait to try all the things on the menu. read more

Yummy cookies! This is an excellent spot in Manhattan Beach. I really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies.

Loved my first time here! Had the mint chip smoothie and it was delish. Will definitely be coming back.

While the food is really healthy, it is masterfully designed to balance out flavors really well and taste great. I'm a big fan of this place and have been going almost weekly since they opened. My kids like it too! read more

great spot, indoor and outdoor options, friendly staff, the food and coffee were excellent. Service was great, we'll be back for sure.
