    Iced Beekeeper Latte
    Zan L.

    A nice little breakfast and lunch café attached to the AMLI apartment complex. I live walking distance away, so can't speak to parking however when we arrived at around 10 AM on Saturday morning, it was pretty crowded. They have a few tall counter seats inside, however most of the seats are outside, but during our visit, every table was taken so we had to get our items to go. The service is really fast and and the server behind the counter was polite. However, I'm giving four stars due to the lack of options on the menu and the high pricing. I had breakfast at a restaurant about half a mile away the day after and it was actually less expensive than this little café. We got a breakfast burrito, avocado toast, and two lattes, and it was almost $60. This place is more designed as a quick to go option and should not be seen as somewhere with a full service sit down type of experience. You place your order at the counter and they call your name and then you are on your own. It is in a very pretty location and very close to the beach so that will factor into the pricing. For our visit, we chose the Braised Beef Breakfast Burrito, which I thought was pretty nice although it was more watery than I like, and I think it would've been better if there would have been Carne Asada, and perhaps the eggs were added too quickly because it was just more liquid in there than I expected. The Avocado Toast was honestly great and the Beekeeper Lattes that we got were fantastic, one of the better oat milk lattes I've ever had. Overall, I would recommend if you are in the area and I plan to be back in the future to try more items.

    Amazing toasts! I got the butter/berry toast - the most amazing take on a PB&J I've ever had! Nice area to sit outside. They also have a super cool selection of inspiring books.

    Tropicali Smoothie
    Antonio G.

    Stopped by The Hive in Marina del Rey and left completely refreshed! I ordered the TROPICALI smoothie--mango, pineapple, coconut, banana, almond milk, and bee pollen--and it was pure sunshine in a cup. It had the perfect balance of tropical sweetness and creamy texture, with just the right touch of natural energy from the bee pollen. You can taste the quality and freshness in every sip. It's the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're doing something good for your body and your taste buds. The spot itself is bright, clean, and has a super chill vibe--perfect for a post-workout boost or just a feel-good treat any time of day. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    This is a delicious spot with fresh ingredients, friendly service, and plenty of vegan options. Although you're limited to 1 base, 2 crunches, and 2 friends, they serve a generous amount of everything. The almond butter was $2 extra, but the amount given was plentiful. On top of yummy food, the storefront is vibrantly decorated and a nice place to sit and enjoy your meal. I hope to go back and try more vegan dishes. Food: 9/10, Service: 10/10, Ambience: 9/10, Vegan-friendly: 10/10

    OG Breakfast Burrito
    Naz S.

    Such a great neighborhood spot. The food is fresh, flavorful, and feels genuinely nourishing without being boring. everything tastes well thought-out and high quality. The drip coffee was a bit lighter than I prefer, but still enjoyable. Service is friendly and the vibe is relaxed but stylish. Perfect stop after a workout or for a casual meet-up. Definitely a Marina del Rey staple.

    Blue Crush Smoothie
    Jodie F.

    Stopped by for a smoothie after a sunny day out. I love blue spirulina & coconut so I got the blue crush. It was very yummy! However it was almost $20 for a pretty small size so sadly will not be returning.

    Donnie's Breakfast Burrito
    Connor Y.

    The hive is a nice little casual brunch spot in the marina. You can be in out quick and they have good costumer service. The Donnie Breakfast burrito is cool. It's a decent size and packs some food flavor. The egg is cooked well could use some more pepper. The side salsa was not my favorite but it was ok.

    Donnie's Breakfast Burrito
    Tim H.

    Small grab and good spot Orangetheory fitness and semi close to Marriott A decent amount of outdoor seating and friendly service. They actually brought the food out and consistently checked in Donnie's breakfast burrito was Phil. I love how it's loaded with tons of mushrooms and well-balanced. The OG breakfast burrito was also amazing if you like your baking crispy or your potatoes crispy, I will let them know Avocado toast looks like a popular item since I saw a lot of people get it along with her açaí bowls Had the blue crush smoothie which is really good the blue spirulina, blueberries, and coconut whip cream definitely blended well Love this spot and nothing but positive vibes definitely will be coming back

    Matcha Latte with almond milk
    Krystal H.

    The hive just opened up in my area (used to be a starbucks) and Im so glad. I wanted a place near me that sold acai bowls and cheap healthy eats. To have some self control ive limited myself to coming twice this month lol The first time I had a regular iced almond milk latte and their avocado toast on their gluten bread. For the price it came out to $20 with the added poached eggs, which is a little high, but the flavor profile was well worth it and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Go I ordered eggs Benedict and their Matcha latte with almond milk. I was a little disappointed to see that the eggs Benedict were overcooked given that my first meal with them had perfectly poached eggs, the flavor profile for the eggs bunny also wasn't as great as the flavor profile for the avocado toast. The Matcha latte was good. It was not sweetened and had a very earthy flavor to it. I'm looking forward to trying an açai bowl or smoothie at this place to give a full review but so far what I've had has been tasty and decent

    Green Hornet Smoothie
    Kellen P.

    Grabbed the Green Hornet Smoothie as a quick snack to take on my walk around the marina and it was pretty darn tasty for a green smoothie. It consisted of kale, ginger, spirulina, apple, avocado, green protein alchemy, bee pollen, and banana. The Hive's staff was also friendly and fairly quick to whip up my order. There's a few single window seats in the cafe along with multitudes of self-help books for the choosing. There's also several shaded outdoor tables for those who want to dine in the fresh marina air yet forgot to lather on enough sunscreen to confidently risk a summer sunburn. Or if you're in need of a healthy tan, take your food closer to the marina boardwalk to soak up some rays and watch the sea lions bark at one another. TLDR: if you're on a growth journey both mentally and physically, this spot has you covered!

    Pastries
    Erin K.

    Definitely recommend the smoothies/cold bowls over the hot breakfast and macro bowls! I ordered the Dragon Fruit Immunity bowl and it was refreshing and delicious; not too sweet at all! I wish I could've substituted one of the toppings for goji berries, but they are considered a fruit here, rather than a crunchy topping. My friends ordered the Buddha Bowl and Breakfast Burrito, and were underwhelmed. The lemon tahini dressing needed to be a bit tangier in the bowl, and the burrito was nothing special. It seems that the smoothies and smoothie bowls are Hive's specialty, so I would stick with ordering those when returning.

    Amazing service, really yummy food, will def come back. I ordered the Buddha wrap, with iced chai

    This is the amount of rice I had leftover after eating as much of the Shroom Bowl that I could
    Holly S.

    Someone let queen bee know that the Hive is #1. Had the Shroom bowl and it was delicious. Mushrooms have a very deep umami flavor, fresh crunchy cabbage, fresh avocado, fresh spinach, the carrot slaw is to die for, I will say you don't really need the ginger sauce because the bowl is good enough without it. The one pitfall, is the bowl is filled with about 3-4 servings of wild rice, which is way beyond reasonable. I give credit to anyone that could actually eat that much rice. I also have a hot cacao reishi steamer with the almond milk, quite satisfying. I'm really looking forward to going back. Note: you will miss the Hive if you are trying to find in the dock side of the walking path, the storefront is up one level and facing via marina road. I got here right at opening time and there was already a line! I understand why after having the hot cacao and the bowl. I love that they have all kinds of books in the store, you can browse them while you wait for your order.

    Is there table service?

    No, it's a counter service cafe.

    Is the chicken organic and salmon wild-caught? Thank you!

    What are the ingredients in their chicken? Do they use olive oil or another oil to cook their food?…

    Hi London, thanks for writing in. For our chicken, it is cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, lemon, balsamic vinegar, onions, salt and pepper and chicken stock. The almond milk we use in BOH is house made daily. Hope this helps!

    Do they validate parking? Garage rates first 15 min free , $10 per hour

    We sure do. 60 mins free parking. But currently the gate just opens when you leave as the building is just getting it organized.

    Do they offer free wifi?

    Yes!

I would say the portion size is on the smaller end. I only had a party of 3, so it worked out for us. We shared a few apps, Spicy Tuna Sticky Rice, Cold Edamame, Teriyaki Burger, Fries, Chicken bites and the poke bowl. Everything tasted fresh, and we loved the fries, they were so crispy and that truffle aioli. Service was fast and easy. We sat chatting for hours and weren't bothered at all.. We would come back for drinks and apps!

I recommend the mushroom calamari - not too salty like a chip or those veggie snacks you buy in store. This was paired well the creamy side sauce and was not too crispy. Located by Venice beach, this brunch place can get crowded on weekends and restrooms can have lines. Regardless, considering the optimal location by other walkable shops, it's a great date or hang out spot.

Again to see that the menu was not the same was disappointing, yet our appetizer came out super fast and over all the food was bland and nothing special for the price point, yet it did come out hot, which was a plus. I had asked for the server to sing him happy birthday and for a desert to be brought out and I picked out the desert to add to the bill and he said that he could not do that service, yet before leaving 2 other servers were bringing out deserts and singing happy birthday to 2 other tables. The view was pretty, I'm sure this place is beautiful and wonderful for brunch, but for dinner this is not a place to be for elevated dining. I was better off taking him to SALT for a better dining and food experience.

It was just the right amount of a balsamic vinaigrette that is not too overpowering. I wish it had some toast or something with it for a crunch component, but it was so nice and refreshing. Next, we tried the grilled corn appetizer, which came in a skillet and was pretty creamy, different than I was expecting, but still really yummy. The bolognese with the ricotta on top was my favorite dish of the day. It was so flavorful and the perfect ratio of each ingredient to feel just right and filling. I wanted to try the pizzas so bad, definitely coming back next time for those!
