Such a great spot! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is so fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend you to stop by and have a seat next to the bay read more

DO NOT BUY THE DONUTS UNLESS IT IS TUESDAY They will let the donuts sit for days and still sell them to you. Donuts don't taste the same even after one day. I was sold old stale donuts on a Monday and found out from a friend that eats there regularly that they are delivered fresh on Tuesdays. This is exactly why my donut was so old. It had been sitting for 6 days and sure tasted like it. Thanks a lot Nataly for selling them anyway. Yes, they did refund my card after I had to call and request it twice, but at least it was finally done. read more

The Hive - Blue Crush Smoothie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

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. read more

Really great spot! Popped in here for a quick bite between meetings in the area and ordered the OG Breakfast Burrito. It was super tasty, loved the quality and freshness, and the side sauce they give you for it. Also it was a beautiful day to sit outside and the area was clean and well maintained. I'm not in Marina Del Rey often but I will definitely come to this spot again when I come out here. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The Hive - Tropicali Smoothie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

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 read more

The Hive - Build your own bowls - açaí, granola, cacao nibs, blueberries, strawberries, almond butter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Excellent and healthy food! Beautiful view of the bay. We love this place!! Great for breakfast.

Great food. Fast service & consistent every time we visit! Perfect spot for a quick snack during bike rides or walk by the marina. read more

High quality, boutique juice bar right on the water (under an apartment complex). I usually get açaí bowls here, but even as a neighbor often avoid it because it's extremely expensive. Even for the area. It's dependable (coffee isn't my favorite) so I'll always be back. Some of their recipes are a little spice heavy so keep that in mind when ordering something noting a particular spice. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Super greedy people. Charged me twice today a $1. Once for extra salsa sauce (ok), second time it blew me off: charged a $1 for additional hot water, seriously? read more

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. read more

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. read more

We ate breakfast at The Hive and enjoyed it! We got an açaí bowl, salmon toast, smoothie, and coffee. Everything was delicious. They have quite a bit of outdoor seating. There isn't much shade, so eating here in the morning is fine, but I could see the middle of the day being a little more uncomfortable. Great experience! read more

i was exited to come check the new location at Marina but i got service by Nataly and i have to say she was very rude and seemed like she was irritated did wanted to be ask questions about the menu , my bowl was mess up AND on top it was missing toppings ... i love the hive and been going to the Santa Monica location so i know how their Menu/dishes looks and how they serve. i am paying for what i'm getting so i addressed to her asking nicely it was missing some toppings that the bowl already comes with and some adds i wanted at the beginning that never got to charged so order was incomplete , her answer was going to give it on the side taking a while just for my mango so i told her i wanted to get a new one because it was melting she completely denied and giving attitude when the fault and problem from the beginning was her . since she saw i didn't wanted that way she offered to give me refund instead letting the business / store to lose sales and money . it was that or speaking to the manager which i agreed to speak to maybe someone reasonable and she have the audacity to tell me i have to go look for the manager to the next door that is not the hive . i believe cashier or who is front in the first impression of anywhere you go its the first costumer filter so its very important who you choose to be in charge of this position if she will be giving this attention and attention this is not the job she should be doing. I have nothing else to say about this place but this time left with a bad experience and service . i think will just continue going to the santa monica location where staff is very nice read more

3.5% "LA County Land Fee" added to bill. Order at the counter, receive your beverage and a pager that lets you know when to return to the counter to pick up your order, and self bus when you are done. Although friendly, its totally a reasonably priced fast food concept. Coffee was decent, did not have an opportunity to see if refills were possible. Water, like pretty much everything, was self service. So why five stars? I had the avocado toast...pickled onions, watermelon radish, excellent toast were among the very well presented ingredients. A mess to eat (pick up a bunch of napkins), but very enjoyable, filling meal. Multiple good vegetarian options. There was limited indoor seating, and nicely shaded outdoor tables where we ate. Limited car parking was not an issue for us and we found room for our bicycles (no bike racks we could find). Definitely would return. read more

Score: 10/10 Buzzwords: Kind Staff, Park in the Structure -- they validate, Thought Provoking Environment Came here on a Tuesday afternoon and short of 1-2 individuals hosting their WFH Zoom meetings, the place had ample seating. Parking was a little wonky, as you had to park at the nearby retail structure (only found this out from fellow Yelp reviewers). The menu was diverse, and playfully vibrant to look at. - [ ] Went with the sun god and aloha dragon smoothies. Additionally, ordered the chicken Athena wrap which was filling but light. The individual helping us at the counter was very friendly, and accommodated our order to substitute the nut options for nut free alternatives. Overall, this is a nifty little spot for açaí bowls and or fresh fruit smoothies if you can manage the awkward parking situation. Staff are friendly and there is an oddly diverse selection of books to peruse through ranging from basketball to self help. read more

Food wise it's been great, the protein toast is one of my go to's, I've had issues twice with my coffee order getting expired milk on them- when asked to replace it, the girl at the counter was rude about my request, didn't offer any refund or else. Management really needs to improve their costumer service. read more

Here's the choices I added for the BYO macro bowl: Coconut ginger quinoa and lemon herb farro base, balsamic brussel sprouts, maple sweet potatoes, whipped hummus, crumbled pistachios, lemon herb tahini. The macro bowl was delicious, although the portion size was small for the price. It took up barely 1/3 of the bowl. Could've added more portions to the base and toppings :( The place was really cute! Not a lot of people and it was very clean and organized. It was very difficult to find parking, took about 45 min looking for parking without paying a ridiculous fee. Please make parking more accessible to reach the restaurant. Based on my concerns, I docked off two stars. Overall, it's a good place to get lunch, but it could be better. read more

Parking can be the only thing you have to deal with...but it's worth it. Bees are everywhere. The Hive is just the best! read more

Delicious and healthy food options! We ordered pickup while visiting the area recently and loved everything. We sampled avocado toast, a chicken grain bowl and an acai bowl. Avocado toast: Amazingly good, quality crusty bread toasted perfectly, generous toppings, tons of texture and flavor. Chicken Bowl: Wish I could have this all of the time, so full of yummy, healthy things. The flavor was outstanding, but I don't recall a ton of details. Acai bowl: A little heavy on the banana, but pretty good. Pickup was a little challenging due to the odd position it occupies in some sort of residential/business park, but there are a few parking spots. Perhaps delivery is easier. But worth the effort to figure it out! read more

I was looking for a breakfast place nearby in Marina Del Rey. I found The Hive to be walking distance so I stopped by for breakfast. A lot of people were there ordering coffee. There's a few seats outside. I ordered the almond berry toast on gluten free brioche. When I see brioche, I picture the bread to be thicker or fluffier than the toast I received. The brioche was like a thin piece of toast. This was $9.95. If I had known this, I would have just picked up some berries at the farmers market nearby since I did have gluten free bread and peanut butter that I brought with me on this trip. I did see others outside eating the breakfast burrito (not gluten free) which was a decent size and would have been worth it compared to this berry toast. read more

Well, I had high hopes for The Hive during our LA visit. We ordered two Smoked Salmon toasts, one on ciabatta bread and the other on gluten-free brioche. The smoked salmon was delicious, and service was quick. However I asked for my gluten free bread to be served untoasted & unfortunately not only was my bread served toasted, one piece of bread was burnt. Also, there was a very small amount of avocado on the bread which was surprising and disappointing. read more

The Hive - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

Quintessential healthy but tasty food. We found this by chance as we were looking for a place to eat close to Marina Beach. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the smoothies. We got several smoothies - sun god, tropicali, bees knees, matcha mint chip, and a breakfast burrito, avocado toast, the daily special omelette and the shroom bowl. Everything was good but my cousin did not like sun god as much as expected because it was heavy, too chocolate-y and had a stronger coffee flavor than he would've liked. I loved the matcha mint chip as it was a great mix of matcha, mint, spinach and banana and felt refreshing and cleansing at the same time. The tropicali and bees knees were both refreshing and delicious. The food was excellent. Avocado toast in particular was very very good. The shroom bowl was impressive as was the omelette. We also liked the breakfast burrito. All in all, this was a great little find. I also found a couple of interesting chocolate bars. If you check in on Yelp, you get a free iced tea. read more
