    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!

Then, when the crowd dwindled, I was pretty much the only one still there so, yeah they def forgot it. I usually don't like to say anything, but I also didn't want to be there any longer than I already had been, so I kindly mentioned I hadn't received my drink yet. They were ok about it, I guess (definitely not nice) and I get when an establishment is busy, sometimes orders can sometimes get lost or accidentally not added. Whatever the reason may be, I eventually got my order and it was definitely rushed. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Bean Matcha and it was eh. I'm sure it's probably better but literally very low effort was put forth to make it. I decided to give this place a second chance during the week, when it's less busy. I got an acai bowl, I believe the Brazilian and it was good. I got a drink also, but it wasn't very memorable. Overall, it was ok.

The avocado toast was out of this world: Tommy + Atticus Seeded Country Bread, Smashed & Seasoned Avocado, Candy Cane Beets, Goldenberries, Toasted Sacha Inchi Seeds, Baby Rocket Arugula, Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The combination of the various textures and the amazing flavors left me so happy. The loaded bagel was another favorite: Gluten Free Everything Bagel with Mort & Betty's Lemon & Scallion Cashew Cream Cheese, Organic Tomatoes, Red Onions, Capers, Dill. I love red onions and they were generous with it on top, so for those that find it overpowering you can modify the order. It was almost too pretty to eat. Cheers to many more visits to come, and next time I'll take pictures. :p

I honestly stopped by mainly to try the café since I was in the area, and I'm so glad I did. Since I love exploring and café hopping, this place was a really nice find. From the taste of the food, it's easy to tell they take their time preparing everything, and it truly shows. I tried the Bang Bang lentil bowl, which was flavorful and very nourishing, and for juice I ordered the Solar Citrus, which was absolutely refreshing. The food felt organic and fresh, with a good variety of vegan options. Kennedy and Meredith were great with service, warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. The overall atmosphere was calm and not chaotic at all. Before coming, I also confirmed whether the café was open to the public, and it is. You don't need to be a member to enjoy it. The café area is perfect for bringing a laptop or book without distractions. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back.

    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.

    Service: Very nice. The gentleman at the counter was friendly and patient despite having a fairly…read moredeep line. Food: I got the Sunrise Sandwich and it was super tasty! 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!

I saw online that the flavors were in stock at the El Segundo location, so headed over today. To my disappointment, the freezer was not working and the ice cream was soft. I saw another freezer section around the corner and picked up a few containers. But the flavors that I wanted were in the broken freezer section. I asked if there were any in back, but they didn't have any. When I mentioned the broken freezer, staff didn't seem too concerned. I just remembered that they had the same issue last year and it still wasn't fixed. It's odd to me that they're still stocking a broken freezer with ice cream and expect people to buy them.
