My boyfriend and I were on our way home from visiting friends this past weekend and were in need of food before hitting the road. After a long weekend, we had hopes for something delicious, healthy, and high protein, but usually everything that you find on the road is the complete opposite of all three. Luckily for us I found the hive. At first it sounded too good to be true. Delicious food, high protein, customizable, so many options, I could go on. We ordered a bunch of things as we were going to be on the road for many hours. I managed to snap a picture of most of them. The BYO warm bowl is perfect for customizing to your hearts content, and there are plenty of delicious options for you to choose from. It did get pretty pricy, but it was delicious. My partner said the beefy breakfast burrito was fantastic, and I got to steal the salsa since he was driving, so I can acknowledge that was also fantastic. The smoothie sadly melted by the time we waited for our food and got back to the car, but even what it had turned into was delicious. You couldn't even tell this was all "health" food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the store has bright wonderful murals and plants, even the bathroom is full of positive quotes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They sell other health foods as well, we picked up some Davids protein bars for the road. The employee was kind and rung us up while we waited for our online order. I truly wish they would bring one to the Bay Area. I even submitted an inquiry- I truly believe they would do so well! For now, if you're around- don't miss out! Go visit! read more

Tried this spot for the first time and it definitely won't be the last. The menu has plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. I ordered Donnie's breakfast burrito with mushroom carnitas and it was delicious. The salsa really brought everything together. Portions are filling, though prices are a bit on the higher side. I also tried the matcha with oat milk, it was okay, but I'd probably try a different drink next time. You order at the counter, get a number, and they bring the food to your table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it a nice spot to meet up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a shared parking lot. I went Sunday around 10am and had no problem finding a spot, but I can see it getting busy later in the day. read more

Thanks Hive for a nice first experience. I came early morning and the cashiers were friendly and helpful with deciding on what to get on their menu. I liked the burrito it was delicious ! I tried their matcha and although it was a recommend choice I probably wouldn't get it again. There is a parking lot at the side and some in front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the dining area it was clean and looked pretty cool ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a welcoming place to bring friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I absolutely love that the menu includes such great, whole food and nutrient dense recipes and snacks. I ordered the salmon protein bowl and it was phenomenal. The ingredients all pair so well together and it's a great meal, rich in healthy fats from the salmon and avocado. I can't wait to come back and try more items. The salad dressing was fantastic and paired so well with the salmon. I also love how community centered this place is. There's lots of family seating and there's even board games to sit awhile and entertain while you're eating. read more

Wanted to try and new cafe to study at and came across The Hive! First off I love the beekeeper latte, it's tasty and I don't even like coconut but the coconut foam is real good. As for the service- 10/10 they're so sweet and welcoming here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance in here is chill and colorful as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was just talking to my friends about how we need more color in our communities. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus is they have plenty of outlets and comfy seating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Delicious food for vegetarians and others! The shroom bowl is excellent, and there are plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Eat here or take to go in a compostable container. Top notch espresso is relatively cheap and served in ceramic cups. Yay! Expensive vegan sweets and treats. Fancy smoothies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eat indoors or outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly service and they keep it running smoothly even when it's busy. What's the George Washington connection? read more

The service here was exceptional! Everyone that helped me here was super friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that the wifi was not working when I visited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here to study, as I was in the area, and this spot intriuged me because the photos showed comfortable looking seats. I think this was a great place to study.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was here for about 6 hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe and setting was nice, and there was one bathroom available as well as board and card games available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was also constantly cleaning tables![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu selection was great. I got the chicken pesto wrap and the iced beekeeper latte. Both exceeded my expectation. The first bite of the wrap was super good, and the coconut cream foam on the latte was very yummy. I noticed in the past there was an option for a yogurt bowl, but they did not have that on the menu anymore, and that is something I wanted to try. I later had an acai bowl with strawberries, mango, granola, cacoa nibs, coconut nectar, and coconut whipped cream. It was very fulfilling, and one of the best acai bowls I had. The menu seemed healthy and it was fairly priced. I am not vegan or have any allergies, but it seems they had a great variety for those that are and/or have gluten allergies. The granola was gluten free and it was pretty tasty! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed the theme of this place. The bee theme was really cute and there were subtle on-theme things, and I loved how on the menu, it referred vegan as beegan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cushion seating was quite comfortable and they had some outlets as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff here today, Friday, were one of the nicest staff I have encountered. They were helpful and had amazing positive attitudes, especially the girl. The guy was also very kind and it just felt like a very inviting place. The parking lot was quite small and very busy, but I was able to find plenty of street parking a block or two away. I will be back again when I am in town, I just hope the wifi will be back up and running because I used all of my hotspot data here! read more

Great local spot to have something healthy or sweet! As a huge bee enthusiast, I love that there are beekeeping books and all sorts of honey and bee pollen to try. The lavender latte was excellent (lavender is one of bee's flowers to pollinate), and the rose ricotta toast was sweet but every bite was perfection. Great place to work for a few hours or enjoy a meal with a friend. Parking in the back. Will definitely return to try one of the bowls. Love the bee art on the walls and in the bathroom! read more

I absolutely love this place I'll be at it can be a little pricey I spend about $15-$17 per breakfast shake "Sun God " with added hyaluronic acid It's such a delightful mix of banana and coffee and the coco nibs and bee pollen topped make for great texture/crunch I decided to deviate from my normal shake and try their beauty bowl Great flavors and such a beautiful mix 10:10 would purchase again read more

This place surprised me. I was going to the sushi shop next door and this place stood out to me because I had never seen it or heard it before. I was recovering from an upset stomach a few days ago so definitely wanted something light and clean so I decided to stop by Hive to get a smoothie for dinner. I was not disappointed and the price is amazing for how nutrient dense the smoothie is. Also I want to note that the service was great. They were close to closing and still treated us great. Food was ready fast too. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute ambiance that feels like a cozy neighborhood spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Easy parking on street and in lot. I really wanted to love this place given their extensive vegan options, but I was not overwhelmed. The vegan bowl was very healthy, but very plain and not incredible. The acai bowl and smoothies were better. read more

Despite serving superfoods, it didn't mean that taste couldn't be enjoyable; yes that's exactly what I found at The Hive. Providing comfy space at the hook of National Boulevard, this place was certainly a hidden gem for me as I could get spoiled by the cozy cafe-alike ambience yet delighting myself with scrumptious healthy food options. The menu was pretty rich, serving both warm and cold bowls, both sweet and savory options. Our first one was the Tuna Protein Crunch, serving generous portions of Tuna as the main protein but complemented by tons of other elements like including avocado, shaved parmesan, edamame, caper, watermelon radish, chia seeds, hemp seeds, lemon herb farro, and greens. IKR, so royal and flavorful with a lot of different textures altogether got you delighted. I earlier was a bit skeptical about how it will turned out but now the dish successfully got me converted. The highlight was surely their crunchy chickpeas! For the sweet cold bowl option, I ended up going for BYO bowl, standing under pressure to make my order decision fast, with pretty long line behind me. I went for acai base with blueberries and strawberries for my fruit toppings, accompanied by granola and cacao nibs. Not to forget, extra almond butter. The serving size was so filling and I still had toppings to enjoy even at my last spoon. I wished I have more of the almond butter, but everything was just right in this bowl. The acai base was refreshing and coming at precise texture as my liking. All the fruits as seen from the pic were so fresh as well. Next time I would doubtlessly go for their house-crafted combo. Overall really enjoy my premiere visit to this spot ;) read more

The Hive - Superfood Eats - Modified Loaded Breakfast Toast - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

- [ ] Okay, I was very excited to try The Hive because it seems very friendly to a lot of different dietary preferences and I love a good bowl. But I was kinda disappointed. I built my own bowl with spinach, edamame, broccoli, pickled onions, crispy chickpeas, and the tahini dressing and then paid extra for a poached egg on top. It was a takeout order. The bowl was *so light*. The broccoli was super soft and cut into like tiny tiny pieces (pieces feels generous? It was like the broccoli was so soft they then put it into a chopper and it creates like bits of broccoli, and there was barely any of it. There was a generous helping of pickled onions, and the spinach was nice and fresh. But yes, I think for the price, I was just pretty disappointed for the amount of food. Also, they don't let you mix your base so maybe it would've been better as a mix of spinach and quinoa but that wasn't an option. I'd advise again getting a salad because it was not filling even with the egg on top. Also, it might just be on me for getting take out, but the yolk was basically completely hard for the poached egg so that was disappointing. I don't think I'll be trying here again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since I did take out, can't comment on the vibe but the outdoor seating area does look nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little spot to grab a bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is free. Staff are friendly. Healthy options.

I loooved this cute spot in west LA. Went here on a Tuesday late morning and being a vegetarian was pleasantly greeted with a great menu of items ranging from burritos to açaí bowls. I got the BYO bowl which was exactly what I was craving - something healthy but satisfying and delicious! It's my new place whenever I go to the west side ! Tip: there is a small parking lot that gets crowded at lunch time but if you arrive a bit early 11:40am your chances of finding a spot will increase~ read more

Amazing vibes and amazing food at The Hive! Stopped in on my recent trip and was impressed at the healthy options on the menu and how fresh my high protein acai bowl was. Sadly, we had to run, so the only chance we had to enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant was while we waited for our food to be prepared, but I loved the plants, the book collection, and the games available -- this would be an amazing weekend brunch spot! read more

What a sweet spot! So perfect for the neighborhood here. Donnie's Burrito - nice crisp tortilla fried on the grill, flavorful carnitas mushrooms and the right balance of ingredients. We subbed cheddar cheese for the Oaxaca and it had an excellent melt. The Sriracha aioli was very subtle and the roasted tomato salsa was just what it needed. 5 stars! Build Your Own Bowl - we picked the blue alchemy (mango, spirulina, coconut base) with blueberries and strawberries (yay organic!). The GF granola had wonderful textures and was one of the better ones I've had. The almonds were fresh and the honey wasn't overpowering. Kiddo approved! 5+ stars!!! So many delish looking items on the menu. We'll see you again soon! read more

Grand opening of the Hive! Just opened this past week with a bright, healthy, aesthetically pleasing spot. For $12.50, you can build your own acai bowl with the base, 2 fruits, 2 crunchies & a sweetener. Organic and fresh, surprised with the amount of acai given. Went with the iced vanilla latte, per the barista's recc. Grabbed the iced matcha latte, added some vanilla syrup at home. Friendly service & items ready within 5 mins. Would come back & try the other menu items. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The aesthetic inside is so refreshing and they have free wifi to use![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tables and lots of natural light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a lot of people doing work in there and it could be a place that I would post up for a while. Great vibes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a little parking lot right by the cafe, but there are some other lots nearby if that one fills up. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and hazelnut syrup, the barista was very kind. It was $5.80 which is a reasonable price compared to most LA prices. It took about 5 minutes and it tasted great! I enjoyed the roast of coffee and would order it again. Looking around, the food looked incredible-- from the salads to the donuts, I will absolutely be back and will bring my appetite!! read more

The hive has that beehive vibe going on at the corner of Barrington and National, where the old Starbucks was for years. The atmosphere is bright and clean with delicious, fresh healthy foods. There's some nice seating even with colorful matching rocking chairs and a cute patio outside. My bowl was delicious with wild rice, edamame, goat cheese, spinach salad and the best was the maple potatoes...really yummy! The coffee was excellent too. Service by Alex was fast and friendly. The healthy snacks selection is impressive as well. Their hours are convenient open everyday until 8pm Highly recommended. read more

Plenty of parking at chipotle. Ordered the coconut bloom smoothie and this was the first 14$ smoothie (very expensive) I've ever bought. Was not a fan due to me not liking the coconut whipped cream swirl due to it being like cheese, but if you want a healthy cheeseburger, you would love it. Asides from the friendly barista, the place has lots of fun tarot cards and other games you would enjoy. Lovely place to sit at and work on writing while enjoying a good drink. read more

Bruh... $7 for a friggin croissant!? And not even like a chocolate croissant or a ham and cheese one or anything like that, but for a totally plain croissant that is about half the size of the ones at Costco that you get like 12 of for $5, and on top of all that, managed to be stale!?!? Are you kidding me? This place is straight highway robbery. Sadly I didn't even notice until my card was tapping and realized what the screen said. And then had the audacity to ask for a tip on top of it! I took a look at the menu while I was in there too and they're trying to charge $12 just for a single smoothie. Hell to the no. What do they think this is, Erewhon lite?? Whoever owns this place is smoking straight up vegan organic gluten free crack. Never again.... read more
