    Chicken Caesar
    Zoe H.

    This place is super cute and small. They have pretty good food and it comes out pretty fast. The chicken on the salad actually tasted good and didn't taste like it was frozen or something. The people are really nice here too.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Build your own bowls - açaí, granola, cacao nibs, blueberries, strawberries, almond butter
    Dalia V.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    BYO Warm Bowl
    Angela P.

    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.

    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

    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 have been meaning to try this place out for months. I got tired of waiting on people so I went by…read moremyself on a weekend. What had previously intrigued me was the fridge cigarette coffee drink and their aesthetics. I ordered an Avo toast and of course the fridge cigarette (chilled espresso, with Diet Coke and I added cold foam). The Avo toast was okay - what you would expect it to taste like. I personally like mine with a little bit of kick - either chili crunch oil or some chili flakes. The drink was really good too - I do wish the espresso was a bit more like a double so it could be stronger. Because I still wanted to taste the coffee flavor together with the coke but I felt like the coffee needed to be a bit stronger so the coke didn't overpower the flavor. But still good. I want to try the short stack next, which looks like a yummy drink. The aesthetic and design was very cool and retro. The place was packed and I think I was the only person who didn't have a laptop. So it definitely seems like a chill place for people to work/study. The chef who also assisted me with my order was super cool and helpful. Told me about events that they have and that they expanded their hours until 7 pm and do a happy hour from 5-7 pm. She said it's more of a wine bar at that time. I'm definitely going to come back for that after work. Price point is what you would expect from a trendy LA coffee and wine bar. I think my bill came out to $32 for the Avo roast, fridge cigarette ($2 added for cold foam) and I also got a custom lighter (lighter with diet coke logo wrapped). I would recommend this place for either a chill coffee get together/date or by yourself like I did , or in the evening for their more wine bar vibe for happy hour.

For $10+, you would get a much better deal at any of the other overhyped matcha places.

If they just got their food and drinks together, this would be such a hot spot.
